I miss it when a show that has a lot of form changes does something to make the different forms feel like they have an identity. Obviously shows like Kuuga and Kiva had the fast form, the tanky form, and the shooty form, but even on shows like W there was a distinct difference between each of the three forms both halves took and HeatTrigger still felt distinct from CycloneTrigger or LunaTrigger. Gotchard has the same problem that Build had for me: the show is throwing out a new form every episode and I don't know what makes most of these different from each other. Like, what does ExcavatorMagician do that WrestlerAnt doesn't? I don't really get that sense of each form having a specialty in these shows, which is part of why so many of them feel completely forgettable to me.
I think it's because there are too many forms. That is, I am sure that by going to the Rider Wiki you can understand what is unique and the best use of each of them, but in the show itself this is not so easy to notice. Plus, Gotchard?s gun is also not tied to a specific form. But overall, I feel like the show wants the viewer to become more attached to the Chemies rather than their combinations.
