Let's see, what's our long range forms? Edison, Robin Hood, Billy the Kid, Ryoma, Nobunaga. Yeah... I mean sure the first three have their own unique styles of shooting, but the point remains.

Not to mention, forms like Ryoma, Grimm, and Sanzo, it's like, what do they offer? What makes them so special.

See this is what happens when you make 15 Items the Form Changes instead of just gimmick's on the Riders like the Tire Koukans. At least Drive used Wild and Technic as much as he could. Granted Dead Heat was barely used by him but that was more Mach's thing. Formula was used a decent amount, as was Type Tridoron. The Tire Koukan's on the other hand, barely utilized but they weren't the main forms, they were just add-ons.

This is a problem that Rider has had ever since OOO: there are so many collectible gimmick toys that it becomes impossible to actually use all of them in the show consistently. And then once the mid-series upgrades come around the older gimmick stuff all but disappears. I can pretty much guarantee that most of the other hoodies will have gone the way of Beethoven by episode 30.
