Cool name, cool color scheme, cool organic-looking armors, and artistic design. What more could I ask for? You can clearly feel the dark/sinister aura. I'm not sure whether it's a redesign or a brand new design, but if it's indeed a redesign, then KR Dread is definitely in my top 3 list of the best suit/armor redesign/partial redesign in the history of this franchise, along with KR Amazon Neo Alpha and KR Cronus.

Yep. This is Demons Driver v2.0.

With the premise of Super Gotchard being that his forms use Clear/Translucent armor like Grease or Cross-Z Charge, rather than the Chromed out look of his base side forms.

I was also kinda wrong on Super Gotchard. I thought the normal variant (without the X Assemble card) would only have one Chemy at one time. Fortunately, this news came out. While I still dislike the undersuit's color scheme, at least the armor's color scheme looks less chaotic than the X Assemble variant. The goofy-shaped armors are fine, though. My hope of seeing a cool Level 10 form is kinda fulfilled.

And it seems like the X Gotchalibur does indeed work as my analysis here. The analysis should have two attached annotated images. Not sure why they disappear.

I actually did a quick check on this, while the belt is very clearly using the Demons Driver's tech. The Assault armor chest on Zero One and Vulcan is a smooth circle of glass/plastic, it doesn't have that dot molded into the very center. Same for the Legs/Shoes, the ridges of Vulcan's legs aren't that pronounced.

That said, this is modern Toei. So the chances for remold/repainting is still high.

Yep. This is definitely a top-tier (re)design.

It looks a Kamen Rider version of Guyver.

It's Guyver meets Guyferd/Deathferd meets Cooler.
