Nope, three, you're forgetting about the crossover movie. And for a form for a secondary Rider which has been replaced completely by a successor that's rather impressive.

Ryugen Yomi appeared in two and it's my favorite form of Ryugen. And I'm not very certain Takatora made much more appearances as Melon Energy considering Micchy snagged the form and never gave it back until the crossover movie.

Nope. The original Melon was the posterboy of Gaim alongside Orange, Banana and Budou, so it's pretty clear why this one was sold in stores and the other one wasn’t.

And quite honestly, with nearly every Rider the base form is a great representation, that's not up for discussion. You may like one armor over the other, but the original is always bond to the character.

Unless you're Faiz and everyone transformers using your gear, but Faiz sucks anyways.
