And RX debuted in '88!

Got mixed up on years.

However, the month and days are accurate to what I saw, so it could mean that RX was delayed for another reason entirely or somebody mistranslated the date of it's premiere from the onset.

I know what it was! That "Big Gathering" Special Episode which premiered after Golgom was defeated. It showcased the Showa Riders from Ichigo onward in anticipation of RX, and the 23rd is seven days after the 16th. The early ads considered the "Big Gathering" as a beginning even though the legitimate first episode wasn't until the 23rd.

Would Lone Wolf Vulcan be considered an emergency form or just a sort of super form? Or both?

I see it as an emergency form since it probably has Fuwa make use of the 01 driver to compensate for the destruction of his Shotriser, and also emergency forms tend to look rougher than their main forms (001, Super Deadheat, etc.).

I see it also as a super form since it uses the 01 driver which is superior to the Shotriser, but also a Zetsumerise key and an Assault Grip, which may or may not make it a tier above Rampage or Orthoros.

Well, we haven't even seen the movie yet so it's kinda hard to tell :lol

I get the feeling it's a 'desperation' form when everything else has failed, but I could be wrong

Does anyone know the differences between the normal DX Shift Speed car and the Toei Hero World version? I looked up a comparison review, and to my eye it's the exact same paintjob and molding. It activates the exact same sounds, too! Bit perplexed by this one!

Seems it's a version where the white stripes glow in the dark! Pretty nifty!

Oh! That IS neat!

Somewhere, Aruto is watching this video and staring at his Progrise Keys...

Does anybody know why sparks are flowing out of flesh and (alien)blood Crisis monsters after KR Black RX pulls out his revolcane after stabbing them? Obviously Crisis robots will give out sparks from their wound but why are Crisis aliens not giving out green blood or something?A good reason might be they don't want to follow KR Amazon but does anyone know if the writers ever gave an explanation to this?

Nope.

To be fair, in reality, cutting through a robot with something like the revolcane would not create sparks either.

It's all just special effects in the end. And it looks super cool.
