One thing I really hope happens is for Mach to be an important character to Drive's overall plot. I've only seen W and OOO from the Neo-Heisei era, and while I like Accel and LOVE Birth, they don't seem as important to the overarching story as the other secondary Riders we've received in the past, and even in Gaim. All of the other series I've seen seemed to have pretty important secondary/extra Riders. Knight, Chalice, Baron all had pretty major roles, even in the endgame of those respective shows. As a result, I feel that the secondary Riders in those shows elevate to the level of awesome that the main Riders have, and perhaps even surpass it.

I think Decade, W and OOO all suffer from that feeling of the secondary Riders being sidekicks. One thing I liked about Gaim was that Baron felt less like a Robin to Gaim, and more like a Superman.
