So, PunkJack.
Do you think Toei anticipated his popularity by having him model the Monster Buckle (And including his ID Core with it), or was PunkJack planned to be a reoccurring character?

[Enchilada645]

Given toys are decided in advance I assume he's meant to be a reoccurring character even if he does seem quite limited by his DGP Employee status.

The popularity of dude who just stands there in a bear mask and does not give a shit about what anyone else does was likely a fluke, which to be fair, has precedence with other popular characters.

What I question is why would they give Tycoon such prominence and not release his ID Core like, at all.

Speaking of ID Cores though it's only now that I realize that yeah, Beat actually fits well with Na-Go because her ID Core isn't yellow with black, it's a black base with yellow as the secondary color. Just like how her helmet isn't gold, it's black with gold. So her buckle not having a lot of gold on it ends up working out in the end.

I doubt anybody's going to be using the small Raise Buckles in their main forms. They're merely starting items to help new Riders keep up with the competition until they get signature/Boost Raise Buckles, although some Riders do seem to have preferences, like Claw for Na-Go.

Besides, why would Tycoon even need two bows?

While I think the Fever gimmick is interesting, I think it's going to quickly become obsolete for two reasons:

The upcoming power-ups for both Magnum and Boost mean that there'll be no more point in using Fever with either of those Buckles.

It's going to be hell for the Revolve Change Series, as the only way to emulate Fever would be to purchase everything twice. And a gold muffler! Who's crazy enough to do that?

He has an accessory, which only regular Riders have. So yeah, I think Toei planned for him to have an important role from the start.

I see a lot of people having this same revelation on various social media sites. I'm glad you came around.

Reminds me of those people who claim Genm is purple or Zi-O is pink. Like black is some kind of invisible color or something.

I feel as though if the other Rider's don't get immediate power-ups then it'll be them using Fever in order to keep up.

Since having double of their main buckle will probably be a good boost regardless.

Kind of like how Brave got Level 5 all to himself for a while once the other Gamer Riders got something better. I could see that, with Fever and Boost being more easily accessible as Geats starts getting closer to his Final Form.

In the Geats x Revice crossover movie, I wonder if the Geats riders will partner up with their own Revice rider?

I'd imagine if Ikki gets invited to compete, it'll be Vice as his prize. They could give him a Desire Driver with his own ID core using the Revice Driver Rider Buckle.

Anyways:

• Geats & Revice (Revi & Vice)
• Tycoon & Live/Evil
• Na-Go & Jeanne (Lovekov) and Aguilera joining in
• Buffa & Demons and Destream joining in

The main antagonist if the Elk/Moose rider is true, we may see Jyamato team up with the demons. Another one but possibly deadly than Giff & Diablos.

With the new Monster armor, does anyone know where the gauntlets are from?
They seem really familiar, like they were reused from another Kamen Rider suit, but I cannot place it.

Dogga Hammer!

[Enchilada645]

I don't think the Monster Armor has any reused parts.

Especially since it's a bigger buckle like Magnum and Zombie. Those all seem to have original parts to their looks while all the smaller buckles are the ones that are props that get repainted.
