Which is fair. Bikes aren't big sellers, but still, up to this point most recent main Riders' machines (of course, Tridoron excluded) have seen regular releases, even the Junglaider. And most Ghost things were shelfwarmers in the first place, not just the Ghostriker. To me it just doesn't bode well...

And both Drive and Ghost called it quits on retail after August and Hunter Gamer is in July...

Eh, maybe. That would probably be the most appropriate thing. But, as Bandai has proven time after time, they aren't exactly great at thinking that far ahead or looking at what's most appropriate. If they were worried about choosing the "right" form to represent characters in their main releases, Ex-Aid's Hunter Gamer form would be the absolute last thing they'd pick as the next retail release.
