The suit looks absolutely stunning. One of my favorite base forms
for sure. Pretty bulky for a base form!

Also, I am not sure why people are saying they are getting Faiz Vibes. With the pointy ears, bright white and orange, along with the exhaust pipes, it reminds me a lot more of Fourze. Especially with the bulky armor look. Speaking of, something about it looks a lot like Drive more than other Riders.

I get the same vibe. Closest look I can think of is that it has a similar silhouette to Vulcan Assault Wolf, but that's about it.

I am a little worried about the prospect of a "Battle Royale" show. Shows like Gaim and Ex-Aid (Which only had a little battle royale at the start of the show) do a great job of making the gimmick more interesting, because it usually involves the various Riders having to compete for said gimmick. Problem is, I don't think we have had a single "Battle Royale" style show that had balanced focus on the Riders. Usually only like 3 or 4 get any focus and the rest are just there to lose and get eventually killed/pushed to the background. Hopefully that can change with Geats though!

Also random, but One thing that stuck out to me is the gimmick. The Rotary Dial is in one side, but then the handle bar is on the other side. I assume the handle bar is a gimmick, making it a Rabbit Tank style form, but I am pretty sure the rumors said it would end up more like Saber where the goal was to get a "Complete form" by getting all of one kind of gimmick. The Handle Bar could always just be a part of the Driver though (the slot opposite of the dial seems empty, but I could be wrong).

Which brings me to the far more interesting implication. For as long as I can remember, Rider has always stuck to two systems for gimmicks: Either the gimmick has printed differences rather than 3D molding (Ridewatches, Wonder Ride Books, Eyecons, Gaia Memories, Etc.), or 3D molding on a common base (Vistamps, Lockseeds, etc.), or there is also a possibility to have a combination of the two (I think Progrise Keys and Gashats both have part Printed and part molded details, molded being seperate, like the front of the Progrise Keys or the clear portion of the Gashats).

The only time I can recall where completely unique molding for each item was used for a gimmick was Drive's Shift Cars. It looks like this may be a similar situation, but I thought rumors said that there are multiple Gimmicks (Dials, Fans, etc.). If so, it's pretty unique as Drive stuck to three gimmicks (Shift Cars, Viral Cores, and Signal Bikes), whereas this may have even more.

Pretty exciting! Can't wait to see more of Geats!
