Shift Soldier, a yellowish-tan Shift Car based on a military car. It was designed to be mass-produced to create an army, and as such has an aggressive personality.

The first is given to Shinnosuke, who uses it to become Drive Type Soldier and fight against a new kind of Roidmude. But then, it turns out the new Roidmudes are fakes, created by the same people who created Shift Soldier, with the goal of using Drive to test its capabilities. By the end, the Riders have to fight against a squad of enemy rider troops all using clones of Shift Soldier in some new transformation device to become Mashin Soldiers.

Interesting idea.
Also, I thought for the Scorpion Viral Core that it could look like a combination of a either a Corvette Indy (concept car that never took off) or a Le Mans Race Car and a Scorpion.
Here is both some quick Concept Sketches of my Previously Posted Shift Viral and the Scorpion Viral Core.

So, you can see Shift Viral is essentially the size of Shift Tridoron. Possibly it won't have the different lever mode and will just be like the Shift Tridoron (which, remarkably, is about the same size as the readers for the Shift Cars/Viral Cores/Signal Bikes).
These are really simple images. It's not much. And the image quality isn't the best because of the fact that it was taken via the front camera of my laptop. Hopefully, you can get what I was getting at.
