So haven't been talking much so I'll just talk briefly about things!

Like Raiden! Raiden's cool, wish he did a bit more though but he was certainly memorable to me and definitely enough for me to differentiate him from Little Assassin as our new Dodo. Though to be honest even if they hadn't brought in Raiden I doubt Little Assassin would have continued further than he did. But yeah, Ikazuchi is a pretty neat design, though probably my least favorite of the MBJR Designs. I do find it pretty clever they retooled the Blood Stalk bodysuit for this.

Assault Wolf is also cool in that... it's such a dangerous looking form? And it makes sense given that it was pretty much Ark created. You know that thing is bad news!

Which brings me to Shining Assault Hopper, and while this may not change your opinion... you're absolutely right in it looking weird and off. While I like it, mostly for it's mixing of two styles, it is evoking the right emotion for you Die!

Shining Hopper is a pure HIDEN Rider in terms of design and aesthetics. But then you've got the Assault Grip adding Ark made portions from Assault Wolf onto it. So it's very much not a clean HIDEN Rider anymore, it's a mix and it doesn't really feel like Zero-One's next true evolution because of the source.
