Meteor lacks any inkling of practicality. With Fourze, he has silly aspects, but the overal design evokes an actual space suit with weird shit added on. Lots of Riders that have complex designs usually have some kind of basis, like Kabuto looking like combat armour, or Ryuki being Knight-themed. Then you have riders that lack any practical basis, but offset it by being simple and streamlined like OOO or W. Meteor... it's like he started basic, but then they gave him the big asymmetrical shoulder piece and covered his outfit in stars like he's opening in Vegas. He's got too much going on. He's like the upgrade to a more subdued deisgn. (another reason his actual upgrade is pap, since it goes even more outrageous) It's like he needs more sculpted detail, less surface detail. If he lacked the stars and maybe had the red compound eyes integrated into the blue meteor helmet and not behind it, he'd look better IMO.

Yeah, Meteor has some interesting ideas behinds his design, but overall they don't work together, personally I feel the Trans Blue Parts don't work when the rest of the body has such a simple design.
