Oh lord , all of the suits are terrible. :(

the 4th one pictured there is "Kamen Rider Racer," apparently created when Ex-Aid's bike transforms similar to the Auto-Vajin from Faiz.

Maybe Kamen Rider Racer is artifical intelligence Rider. Hmm...he also similar to Accel.

I fucking LOOOOVE these suits! They look like Jojo Stands and that's something I can get behind.

Ugh I was hoping "Lv 2" would mean it wasn't his default appearance... I simply hate it right now. I hated the hair in Akibaranger and I hate it here. And the colors do absolutely nothing for me. Just gross for my liking.

I'm still interested in Ex-Aid conceptually but the Rider design is not something I've just decided overnight I like.

Brave looks badass at least... But based on Snipe, seems everyone's getting some ugly hair. Yuck.

Yeah, so I love everything about the way this show looks. Multi Riders? Thank you. A bright and vibrant looking show? That's fantastic. The suit designs themselves are so well done. They're not your usual Kamen Rider flair, but they look like a lot of fun.

I'm wonder what the Level 1 forms are though. Are they what the characters transform into at first or are they maybe chibi robots or something?

The LV. 1 seems to be their beginner forms like the Masked Forms in Kabuto. The Gimmick Figures have LV.1 Shells you can store them in and have the Faces in their backs in LV. 2 form.

What amazes me about this is that each Rider has just the two Gashats of what seem to be the basic ten and then 4 of them share the last one. And every one has their own weapon! Usually the main Rider monopolizes a lot of the toys, so this is rather unique and definitely something I can get behind.

It's a far cry from Ghost where even in the first Quarter Ghost had 6 more Eyecons and 3 more Gadgets than Specter, and that was just two Riders. That with Ex-Aid they're split things so equally between 5 of them is commendable.

I really hope the show is good because a lot of this looks so promising.

I love Racer. Bike Rider is awesome.

You know, come to think of it, it reminds me of this.

Speaking of, since next year is Megaranger's 20th anniversary, I do hope next spring's movie taisen is Ex-Aid VS Megaranger.

Man, yeah, that's pretty bizarre. It'll actually change their physical proportions if that's the case.

Whats more bizarre about it, looking at the scans, is that it looks like Lv.1 is an actual suit and not just cgi :lol

I like to think of the Level 3 gashats more like those RAM expansion cartridges on the Sega Saturn.
Anyways here are the names of the Gashats.

- Gashats:
Ex-aid
1. Mighty Action X
2. Gekitotsu Robots(Level 3)
Brave
1. Tadoru Quest(tadoru means course/follow)
2. DoReMiFa Beat(Level 3)
Snipe
1. Bang Bang Shooting
2. Jet Combat(Level 3)
Racer
1. Bakusou Bike(it could be Bousou, the scan is not crisp enough for me to make out the kanji)
2. Girigiri Chanbara(Level 3)
Genmu
1. Mighty Action X
2. Shakariki Sports(Level 3)

Dragon Knight Hunter

You know, I'm half-expecting LV 1 to look like a mascot suit, cause I mean come on, with the way LV 1 looks, I can definitely see that.

Needless to say I'm on board with this, I've been gunning for a Video Game Rider for a year or so, even going so far as to make my own concept too. So this is definitely a welcome addition. I do want to see what they look like as actual suits though, a lot of Ghost suits I didn't like until I saw the actual suit versions, so let's hope this is the same.

I was thinking the exact same thing. The Lvl. 1 forms look a lot like Kabutack and Robotack to me.

...Not sure what to make of this, really. It's kinda weirding me out, yet seems like it could be interesting. The gaming theme seems really in-your-face-ish with the designs, but holy cow, 4 riders! Each with unique weapons and upgrades! I guess I'll just have to wait for the show to start up to really get a feel on it.

...in 3 months.

Not only does this get me with the gaming theme, but I'm loving the 90s aesthetic with the bright colors. I'm so on board for this. Honestly I can't wait.

Reading the story page (or at least trying to, it's hella small), the enemies are called Bugsters, they...seem to be computer game viruses. The main character is said to be a gaming prodigy, his name is Emu. The Gashats correlate to different games within their world.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has Megaranger and Go-Buster vibes in my opinion.

Hmmm...maybe gaming world is in other dimension (digital dimension).

I'm totally down for this and love the designs and forms of the Riders.

My prediction about Ex-Aid

- If the Riders in Ex-Aid punch, slash, shoot, etc to monster, the monster will has point-like injury on monsters's body.

- If the Rider destroy monster, the words "You Win!!!" (in big fonts) will appear in near of monsters remains or explosions....

- If Rider defeated and untransform, the words "You Lose!!!" will apear in near of defeated Riders.....

What I like about Genmu is that it is a nod to the 2nd Player character concept typically from fighting games.
So there is some context as to why it is a color variant of Ex-Aid.

Noises the belt makes for the Mighty Action Gashat

Level 1:

Let's Game!
Nanja Game! (What a Game!)
Muccha Game! (Strange Game!)
Waccha Name?! (What's Your Name?!)

I am a Kamen Rider!

Level 2

Mighty Jump!
Mighty Kick!
Mighty Action X!

So, some more basics uncovered-

*Level 1 is the "chibi" form we're seeing in the images, a base state similar to Kamen Rider Den-O's "Plat Form."
*Collector gimmick this year is Gashats which are cartridges inserted into the GamerDriver.

Each Rider has a different Level 3 form:

*ExAid is "Gekitotsu Robot"- the Gashat summons a mini-robo that becomes new armor
*Level FOUR is unlocked by a unique Gashat called the "Dragon Knight Hunter."

*ExAid's main weapon is the Gashacon Breaker, a sword that becomes a hammer
*

Also, the little robots used to access Level 3 are called Gamers.

The one thing I'm still super curious about, and really can't wait to see, is what exactly Level 1 is. Are they robots? Are they the heroes whose bodies have been shrunk? Are the Riders this year kids? (crazy almost impossible but still)

Maybe Level 1 Forms will use CG and in the show, and maybe they are shorter than level 2 Forms...

This is pretty neat! It's like if Kamen Rider had happened in the US and in the 90's!

...oh wait, it did, for a time. I mean if it had been specifically created for the US, back then, and not brought over from an existing series. If you get my meaning. All the 90's colors, is what I'm saying! It's like a Lisa Frank bomb exploded on a Rider show.

I'm really trying not to be negative about this show, but everything I'm seeing so far is actively repelling me. I hate the suit dsigns, I hate everything about the idea of giant chibi mascot mode, and everything about this seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I'm going to try and keep an open mind, though. Just because the designs make Masked Sasword and Fusion Fourze look good doesn't mean that the show itself will be bad. Good writing can absolutely override my distaste for the suits. Unfortunately, we still have two months to go before we get to see how that turns out.

I'm also going to need to hear some real pronunciations soon, because my brain keeps reading it as "Gas hat."

while Ex-Aid's show begins October 2nd, he will first appear in a special crossover episode with Ghost at the end of September!

So that's going to be an annual thing now, huh?

Glad someone else gets the 90s colors! I grew up during the 90s and these bright colors were everywhere and in style. If you ever watch an episode of Fresh Prince, Will Smith is sporting these same neon colors. Sometimes even hot pink and neon green.

Coupled with the gaming, it's just hitting all the right spots for me.

A Japanese person will say it as ga-sh-ya-to.

It's apparently the onomatopoeia for a game being inserted.

I'm down. I'm afraid of how much stuff I'm going to want to buy.

Ok, I can like this now.

Yeah, this is basically the first year I've ever liked everything about a show from the getgo.

I don't even know what to say about this. The bike becoming a robot rider is pretty cool but that's all the positive things I can say. This was kind of disappointing. I haven't lost faith yet I'll make my final decision when the show actually starts.

This can't be real. You mean that WASN'T AN AKIBARANGER PHOTOSHOPPED?

You know what, I think I'm done with Kamen Rider at this point. At least for the main series. I'll check out Amazons when it comes to the US, but that is it. That is hands down the worst looking Kamen Rider designs ever. Why does it look like a Super Nintendo game controller on his chest?

I just... I just can't. Suddenly Ghost and Drive don't look so stupid. They should just call this Kamen Rider 4Kids, because the show is now as dumb as Sentai. It looks like Majin Boo cosplaying as an Akibaranger. It looks like the 90s just threw up on a Kamen Rider and forgot to clean itself up. Next thing we know, he will be fighting the villiaonous Eco-Warriors who are trying to pollute the planet.

I still wonder what's up with this funky bicycle.

I think I'm buying all of this.

I love the absurdity, the colors, everything.
