Did triceratopses and stegosaurs have feathers?

Which reminds me we haven't decided on the design for the guy behind the suit, Ray Kaseki.
Should I do him too?

No, neither of those Dinosaurs had feathers.


As for Ray....You could draw him if you want. I don't have any idea about what we decided about him yet.

we really have been on this suit too long....

Okay. Doing more research, it does seem like feathers is mostly a Theropod and airborne Dinosaur thing. Okay then. Just limit them to those two, then.

I want to make it clear once again that I'm just suggesting a stylistic armor detail here and there. On the lower legs, around the elbow cuffs, and depending on the final helmet design maybe a couple subtle ones there too. I'm thinking rigid metal ornaments, not actual feathers. It's not like I'm pushing to make them a HUGE part about the design, either. I just think it would be neat to have them there in some way.

Honestly, I don't think so. I'd argue that the suit design is probably the most important part of this project. The base form especially. In the end, that's what will be the mascot which basically represents everything we've done in this entire thread.

That's interesting. I never knew aquatic dinosaurs were never scientifically dinosaurs.

The suit is the most important aspect of a Kamen Rider, so it only makes sense to spend the most time on it.

Thero form:
Element - Fire
Changes: Armor
Dinos - T-rex - "muscle" armor for increased strength
- raptor - shin armor and feet claw, increased speed
- Spinosaurus - lower arms armor, forearms blades
- Carnotaurus - glowing spiked back armor, fire strikes
Finisher: adds all of the armors and Paleo performs a Rider kick with fiery projections of the dinos

Quad (or Quadro?) form
Element - Earth
Changes: Weapon
Dinos - Triceratops - spiked shield
- Stegosaurus - greatsword
- Brachiosaurus - extendable lance
- Ankylosaurus - quake hammer
Finisher: weapons combine into a giant sword and Paleo performs a Rider slash together with rocky projections of the dinos

Aqua form:
Element - Water and Ice
Changes: Attachments into a main gun
Dinos - Plesiosaurus - sniper mode (long range)
- Ichtyosaurus - harpoon mode (melee)
- Megalodon - gatling mode (mid range)
- Mosasaurus - ice blast shotgun mode (short range)
Finisher: all the attachments combine into the main gun and Paleo performs a Rider shooting together with watery projections of the dinos

Aero:
Pteranodon - Back Wings: faster and more maneuverable flight
*Ornithoceirus- Arm Wings: Fold out separately on the upper and lower arms. By swinging his arms, he can sling the lower halves off like mid-range bladed boomerangs that swirl around the enemy before reattaching.
*Microraptor- Bladed Leg Wings: Similar to Thero Spino's arm blades, but instead on the... Well. Legs.
*Tupandactylus- Head Wing/Fin: An already existing head crest (like a Pteranodon/Speed Biker's helmet) fans up into a fin that let's Paleo conjure lightning bolts.

Omni:
4 power ups based off of the 4 base forms
Mash up like DoGaBaKi in a way

Final:
Fossil/extinct theme
Not discussed enough

Hey Yuu, I was wondering why your drawing of Paleo didn't have the belt on him?

I mean. They're still prehistoric creatures that existed at the same time as dinosaurs, so it fits the bill for our Rider here. But while I don't know the specifics off the top of my head, I'm pretty certain they're technically a different thing. Although the separation there might be just that they're not land dwelling. Could also have something to do with their posture and bone structure. Or maybe it's that they're believed to have evolved from a different something-or-other.

I ain't no science man.

I was in a hurry

I am gonna say that before we do extinct form, we should actually make the extinct. Because the form should reflect them both in power and design.

Meaning we should make the villains before the final form

well yeah I guess that makes more sense but are we gonna stick with just calling the villains the "Extinct"? sounds too straightforward. Plus it would probably be awkward for the villains to refer to themselves as that feels like they're calling themselves "Those guys that died the other day"

something along the the lines of : Ancestors, Saurians, Returners, Originators, Einst, Dead Apostles, True Ancestors, ok maybe not these last three but something unique
