- The second is a mass produced Driver meant for the students of the alchemy academy, the Driver only uses one card.

- Lastly, there's a Driver for a villain Rider who uses 3 cards to transform. The transformation is described as needing to sacrifice Chemys in order to do it. This belt is also described as this years fancy, expensive, LED belt like the Demons & Vision Driver before it. Also like the Vision Driver, the belt has multiple modes. Lastly, the belt comes with upgraded Hopper 1 & Steam Liner cards.

Now for my personal opinion on these rumors/leaks, While some of this stuff is kinda out their, I could see these being true if only because Color has yet to be wrong on anything Gotchard so far. Also considering that nothing was talked about regarding Gotchard, Valvarad, and Legend, it leads me to believe that these most likely aren't necessarily part of the Q2 catalogue but are actually all P-Bandai stuff.

I do find it pretty disappointing that it seems like that low Rider count that was talked about in that one interview isn't something that's going to stick, although I could see this change being something that Bandai demanded. It's important to keep in mind that the writers are not God & that the producers, execs, and Bandai have way more say over what happens in these shows than some believe. I wouldn't be surprised if the producer/writers wanted for Gotchard to have a small amount of Rider but Bandai went "Uhh... No, more Riders = more money".

Anyway feel free to discuss guys.

Okay so I guess this is what I get for jumping the gun on this and not waiting, because Color has provided some more detail:

- Okay so it looks like Rinne doesn't actually get a new driver but get's an attachment for the Gotchard Driver (different from Gotchard's end of Q1 upgrade) that interacts with the ring in order to transform (toy comes with 6 cards). Her attachment is P-Bandai by the way.

- Evil Rider belt has a 40 LED screen & comes with 4 cards. Depending on what Chemy card you put in to the belt the screen displays a different number. Also P-Bandai.
