so it hits me about Kabuto last night...
 

really, I'm in bed, snuggled in with my wife (who is amazing), and I have no idea why this pops into my head at this moment...BUT....

Kabuto being the anniversary of the franchise...
I think they came up with the suits well before the story...or even the show name...and may have had a different direction...mind you this is all speculation...BUT...

Punch and Kick Hopper...Rider 1 & 2
Drake V3
Kabuto Stronger
theBee Skyrider or possibly Super X
Sasword also Super X (Rider mode is like a space suit)
Worms could have been either Amazon or Shin...
Gatatack only one not in equasion...

Just a thought of what could have been with those suit designs...

hmmmm.... maybe gatack is kuuga since he's the first heisei

You mean Super-1 not Super X

Is the Drake - V3 connection because he played V3 in The NEXT?

no, i think he means theyre both dragonfly

yes, super-1 sorry...and also yes, Dragon Fly :D

Just makes me look at those suits differently, wondering what could have been...oh hell..will not fan fic this one, I promise...really...I swear...lol
