They still existed.

That's like saying a theme based around cars was inevitable because Black RX had one.

No. Because more than one mech existed, and in recent years we've had three. Four if you count Birth's weapons making that scorpion thing.

All they need now is John Moschita to sell the toys.

Especially if it's as gimmick driven, and terrible looking, as the mechs are in Gaim. At least Powerdizer was mostly well implemented, Suika, that stupid leg robot and the broomsticks are all shit.

Suika looks good, and I like the Sunflower hover-bikes. But I agree with you completely about Tulip Hopper. That thing just looks weird.

I liked Suika's introduction, but every moment after that has been really really naff in my opinion. And the broomsticks are a fine idea - look at Starwars - but the special effects used to achieve it...could eh...."use some work".

CG Armament in Kamen Rider has always been iffy. Look at Ixa's tank, Accel's tank, and Powrdizer.

Oh yeah of course, but like I say, it's about implementation. Powerdizer didn't look that great, but the role in the story and the use of the actors sold you on it in a way Gaim hasn't been able to with any of its machines.

And I'm not saying Powerdizer is like this great thing either but I just think overall in Heisei to Neo the Rider Machines have always been kinda awful and I really don't want another Skullboilder and Garry ever again.

I wouldn't mind another Auto Vaijin.
