Congratulations!

You've been hired by Saban Brands to adapt a Kamen Rider series over to the United States. Unfortunately for you, they've given you COMPLETE control of the series. You can pick any actors you want, change the story however you want, but at the same time Haim Saban has told you to keep the budget under control and really look at the ability for merchandise tie-ins when picking your series, as the toy sales will help you keep your job for a second season.

So here you go! You can adapt ANY Kamen Rider series not already brought over to the United States. But you have to follow these rules:

1) Pick the series
2) Must use at least 60% source footage from TOEI
3) Movies and crossovers are available but cannot bring in characters not already adapted (ie: MovieMax with Fourze wouldn't work because you didn't adapt OOO or W)
4) All Kamen Rider characters must be assigned to an actor/actress
5) Tie it all together in your post as a sales pitch (why you picked the series and the actor, how the merchandise is going to sell well, what you need in terms of original footage, etc.)

Ready, set, go!

Okay, I would adapt Kamen Rider Kabuto as a new Beetle Borgs series. It'd be called "Beetleborgs Zect". The reason being that since the last two KR adaptions have been low in ratings & popularity, calling it Beetleborgs could potentially bring in fans of the original show. I would also try my best to give the show some depth & maturity to keep said fans interested but not go so far as to lose the kiddies.

The plot itself would be similar to Kabuto's, where an insect-like alien race with the ability to shape-shift has infiltrated our society & is secretly trying to overthrow humanity. And the only organisation capable of stopping them is ZECT, with their state of the art "Zecter System".
Now, in my version here there wouldn't be anything like the Shibuya meteorite, & the worm definitely wouldn't kill as many people, also ZECT would be a whole lot less shady & more like MIB.
I'm not going to go into huge detail about the characters, but I'd keep the Tendou-Kagami relationship mostly the same, where you have the inexperienced rookie being taught in indirect & strange ways throughout the series to follow his own path & do what he thinks is right by a jerkass who happens to be an essential part in defeating the alien threat.
As for the other riders, for the most part I'd have them all on the same side, but with some, less-than-perfect personality traits.

As for actors, I don't know, whoever does well in casting. And for footage, well since they're largely on the same side I'd cut the stuff with the Riders fighting each other, I'd want to shoot a scene where the 5 main Riders (Kabuto, TheBee, Drake, Sasword & Gatack) are on screen at once, fighting a common enemy (which never happened in Kabuto) & I'd want to shoot an episode with the Movie Riders where it's a future episode where the worm won & they're the resistance.

Ladies, Gentlemen, Good Morning. As you know we've been given the go-ahead to devolop a new Kamen Rider series for America, given we find common ground on story. Well. I'm here today to give you just that.

His name is Kamen Rider Cell. We've adapted the original source material from Kamen Rider OOO, and changed the story enough to suit an American Audiance in our target demographic. While, much like we have for the MMPR 20th, also keeping our MegaFans in mind.

Our story will take place in a fictional story named Red Reef, and revolve around four different main characters.

Tyler - The High School Intern at the local Museam who accidently frees the Greed trapt inside, and is charged with stopping them as Kamen Rider Cell.
Ankh - The masqurading Greed who's watched over the coffin since it was burried, and later become the scientist 'studying' the Box when it was accidently unearthed.
Malcom - Masked Rider Proto-Cell, our version of Birth, and soldier for Cell Corp. The finacial backing behind the research into the box in the first place.
Wallace - Masked Rider Proto-Cell Red, our version of Birth Prototype, also a soldier for Cell Corp. And older brother to Tyler's girlfriend Samantha.

The source material. Though we don't want to follow the source the material directly, we are keeping some elements alive for the sake of using source footage. One thing are changing are how the Greed produce their soldiers, the Wraps. Instead of putting coins into people they'll just pull the Wraps free from inside of Greedy people. And when it's defeated the people will wake up, and learn a lesson relatable to our audiance.
One thing we are taking out completely, as you can tell, is how Ankh gains a body. Instead of a cop dying we're having him already possess a body. Willingly.
We are though keeping the Buisness Man benefactor element. Including his catch-phrase "Happy Birthday", and his obsession with baking cakes.

And we'll stay to our goals for all of our shows.

Teaching Life-Lessons
Teamwork

While also appealing to both our key demographics.

One thing we will do, though, is with our deal with Bandai of America make new toys. They will be similar to our popular Samurai Line. With a Rider-Builder System built into the Cell figures. Where you can mix and match different Cells, to match different combinations. We also have plans for a transformable Cycle Vendor toy, as well as DX SodaBots that help Cell throughout the series.

(OOO is either going to love this, or run me over with a Ride Vendor )

I'd bring over Blade. It's a show with a large, but not overly stuffed, roster of Riders that Bandai of America could make crappy action figures out of and the weapons and different belts would make for good roleplay toys. There's maybe even some form of CCG in the card gimmick if someone wanted to exploit that.

As far as the story goes, I would largely keep the same plot and characters from the Japanese version, but probably quicken the pace of the first block of episodes (I'm assuming this would be a ~30 episode series and not 48 anyway). The only major thin I would change is Chalice's gender - I'd make him female in this version so that we could play up the Blade/Chalice relationship as more of a romance, which I think would make the ending work more powerfully for an American audience.

I got your opening, Switch!

The only thing I'm not feeling is OOO being called Cell (I see that fitting Birth more.) Everything else is great though

Maybe OOO could be Core, since those are the kind of medals he uses to henshin.

I tried a few names. Coin sounded goofy, Core though I didn't think of. Nice suggestion, Shock. Kamen Rider Core.. I don't know, I still like Cell.
