i usually dont like powered up forms, they're usually just heavily ornamented versions of the regular suit, but there are some that pique my interest. i liked Kabuto Hyper despite it falling squarely into the realm of why i dont like powerups, but i like robots/metal hero quite a bit. W Fang Joker is also a far superior design to W Extreme, its a shame its not on the list in its place.

sort of along the lines of what Steel A Jeeg was saying, does Black RX count as a power-up?

Purely basing it on aesthetics, I'd have to go with Kabuto Hyper.

There was only 13 spots for the poll, which is why I didn't add the Showa Riders.

The reason Tajador is part of the poll is because he was the last combo to appear in the series and the form that defeated the final villain. PuToTyra in the poll is because it was the "marketed" super mode.

I usually count RX as both a seperate rider and a super mode (seperate due to it being it's own (yet sequel) series and super mode due to the fact that it's Black with new powers.

I consider Black RX to be more of a downgrade than an upgrade.

So, uh, shouldn't Den-O Sword form be on there too?

Zing!

:eek::eyebrow:mad::lol

Black is my favorite Rider show. I find Black RX to be generally inferior in every single way. The tone is too light and silly, the villains are far less cool and memorable, the bike is less cool, the comic relief supporting cast is almost as bad as Akiko, the suit isn't as cool, and Kotaro feels markedly out of character.

You say that as if it needs to be said.

It is all about Emperor, it is the only Supermode lately that hasn't looked like complete ass..

I actually find that there are a lot of people who seem to think that Black RX is the better of the two shows. I suspect it's because of Masked Ri-duhr.
