Between that and the trailer at the end for a movie that doesn't exist, I wonder if Decade was secretly going to be great until something happened to make it what it was.

It does feel that way. Did someone on the creative end leave the show part way through?

Look at Growing form to Mighty Form the armor gets more detailed, the shoulder pads get bigger and the horns get longer, just like Rising Ultimate to Ultimate. You can see how they went through the design here: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...25&format=webp

Yo, that link broke!

I agree, the Decade designs are fantastically bizarre and hyper modern (When I thought Decade was the weirdest Rider design, DiEnd comes along). If only the writing rose to the challenge.
