So... 2013? :p

But yeah, Build's sword is crap. It looks bad and doesn't fit the main form. Which shouldn't have access to it anyways, it should've been some exclusive stuff for a construction-focused form or whatever.

I really don't get why Riders without a connection to weapons have swords from the get-go every time now. Oh wait, I get it, toy-sales. It still sucks though.

The Drill Crusher KIIIIINDA does, drills and carrots have similar shapes and the gun mode looks like a tank cannon. But yeah, you have to stretch it. If it was purple it'd work but eh

No, purple is too jarring in contrast. If it was red and blue it would work.

It would still look like shit (I actually forgot about the crappy gun mode, god that looks so bad) but at least it would match the main form.

Pretty much. Wizard was the last show where the weapon looked even remotely like it wasn't made out of plastic.

I would include Gaim, the Musou Saber had a realistic blade. It also had all kinds of silly weapons but still, at least the standard sidearm was okay.
