Does this mean Gold and Silver are the same guys?

No, it doesn't. Let me try my hand at explaining. :)

1) Originally, you have the human and the BuddyRoid.

HUMAN + BUDDYROID


2) BuddyRoid is a well armored with both gold and silver parts.

HUMAN (NOTHING) + BUDDYROID (SILVER, GOLD)


3) When they henshin, the Gold armor parts come off the BuddyRoid, and latch on to the human.

HUMAN (+GOLD) + BUDDYROID (SILVER, -GOLD)


4) So now, the human with gold parts is Beet Buster/Gold Ranger and the BuddyRoid minus gold parts has only silver left, becoming Stag Buster/Silver Ranger

Beet Buster = Human (Nothing) + Gold = Gold
Stag Buster = BuddyRoid (Gold + Silver) - Gold = Silver



Come to think of it, this also clears up my confusion about why the BuddyRoid looks more henshined in normal form than in Buster form. That's because he actually strips to henshin!

SHEESH! I always have SUCH a hard time going from one sentai/Rider straight into the next....that SO is not gonna happen this year!

It's always hard, because these catalogue pictures because the colors are so off. Like it looks like orange and ice white/blue.

Either those or gold and silver would be cool though.

So it's like, the buddyroid loses the golden part of the armor which becomes gold, and the remaining part of the buddyroid is silver?


Btw, does it say on there for sure that its gold and silver and not orange and white? :-P I just wanna be sure.
