While it is unfortunate that there is no "Power Rider", there is another side to looking at this. To adapt a Kamen Rider would be uncomfortable as it would be so watered-down and in need of writers that it would be a stain on the original's legacy (the original being whichever Rider was used). Remember, the first Kamen Rider adaptation by Saban was Masked Rider which was mostly a re-hash of Kamen Rider Black RX, which I will add, has NOT been re-issued like VR Troopers and Power Rangers and Beetleborgs. The overall thinking is that Masked Rider was a blemish best left unmentioned save for the "A Friend in Need" three-parter. Now, while Kamen Rider Dragon Knight was NOT Saban's doing and while it did have a degree of critical popularity, it was apparently never that good in terms of ratings. The "Power Rider" rumors originated around the time of Samurai and the Rider during Shinkenger was Decade (remember that little team-up). Just say Saban uses Masked and gets the rights to Dragon Knight, that gives him some previous Riders to use, but still puts an absolutely severe strain on the Decade footage that can be used without revealing unused Riders. That leaves Double and all other modern riders. Toei may have restrictions on how this can all be done, but there may still be some wiggle room left to revive this idea, however I would say that given the generally pleased reception of Gaim, that some Riders are best left alone. However, say Saban does go ahead with a Go-Busters adaptation, while one could use Riders, there is always that brief Gavan revival...
