But the story direction of them I like.

Eh, I like it cause it reminds me of that bear suit from a while back.
Remember the one from Canada?

So the Mach Driver is being mass-produced now. Who or what is Golden Drive?

Well, it is
Banno who is using a roimude body and a duplicated drive driver

Trooper Machs. Because we don't have enough Roidmuudes any more to serve as Combatmen.

They are on the good guys side though.

It's that time again, where Kamen Rider suits start being recycled and repainted into a new rider or new form. For examlple, Baron Lemon Energy Arms and Ryugen Yomi.

Nope. That one appeared around mid-season and the whole reason it existed was because Kaito got so popular they had to make a stronger form for him that wasn’t initially planned. Hence the suit mashup of Baron's genetic ridewear and Lemon Energy Arms.

So really only Ryugen Yomi and Jam fit that category of "Repaints/remolds because no more money and the show ends soon anyways".

Not that this is always a bad thing, Ryugen Yomi looks awesome, it's just with Drive I don't dig what they do with the suits.

And its not really "that time of the year" since Rider rarely does this

Yeah it's only a very recent turn of events, but if you have a show full of expensive suits I can see why you can't just make completely new ones for the last 5 episodes or so, unless it is planned that way.

I was suprised they even allowed it in Gaim to happen at all with Ryugen since Bandai is alway iffy about introducing new forms that have no toys to go with them.
