Mooks, grunts, minions, hanchmen, footsoldiers, combatmen, cannon fodder, whatever you call them, the poor generics whose main role is to show up in large numbers and get easily beaten to show off how powerful the main characters are. Which ones are your favorites, and why?

For me it's a tie between the Bugster Virus and the plain Roidmudes. I really like how the Bugster Virus change costumes and weapons depending on which Bugster monster they're serving. I wish more Kamen Rider seasons had different variants of minions to reflect which master they followed, even if it wasn't different for every monster and was just for the commanders.

As for the plain Roidmudes, their designs are so delightfully menacing, they look like they could've been the special monsters of the week in another Kamen Rider show. And I enjoy how even though they fill the "generic minion" role in Drive they aren't actually generic, each one is unique and some of them even get characterization beyond just being minions to the evolved Roidmudes.
