What I'm about to say is probably some kind of heresy or bannable offense, but I've always thought W had the most boring design of any main rider. Rather than his halves being based on the element or weapon they represented, they were just re colored versions of a suit with a very bland shape to it. Yeah, I know, fight me about it. But this is just screaming that issue I have with W's design, with slightly better eyes. What's the point of having a form based off a tank if it doesn't have treads or a useable cannon, yknow? What makes that tank form different from anything else?

So yeah, TL;DR, probably an unpopular opinion, but that design is super boring and I hope it's fake.

Can't be fake, guy who did this leaked Drive's design before scans came out too. Plus, the real thing's obviously more detailed (hopefully with metallic colours too)

Also!
Toei 2015: This guy is a firefly because of Japanese folklore about fireflies and death, also the horn is a wisp from folklore too
Western fandom: ...
Toei 2016: Here's a video game themed Rider who looks as 90's as possible as it fits the general aesthetics
Western fandom: We want bug people back
Toei 2017: Here's a bunny and you will fucking like it

With this show I think it is the staff trying to be somewhat resourceful production-wise considering we will probably get a load of mix n match forms from the get-go based on the catalogue info which leads to many suit components to manage. This is just personal speculation so as always grain of salt.

Yeah that's what I mean just by looking at the sketch of Build.

I keep trying to figure out what kind of tone I think this show will have, but I have nothing. I'm getting a sneaking Riku Sanjo vibe though, I would be willing to bet he's gonna be involved in this show.

No, the next they are in South Korea. They will be in Tokyo in 2020.
