Bandai’s Zi-O Watcher candy toy blog was recently updated with an in-depth look at the upcoming SODO Zi-O RIDE5 set. Specifically, the Gaim and Decade armors were both featured heavily and in great detail. At the end of the post, an image was posted teasing what appears to be the big bad himself: Oma Zi-O.
It doesn’t seem likely that Oma-Zi-O will be included with SODO Ride 5 as we already know the set will contain the Gaim, Decade and Wizard Armor Times in addition to blank Zi-O and Geiz bodies to use with them.
Oma Zi-O is likely going to be included in whatever next set comes out. Either way, we’ll know more about this figure at the next update at the end of the month.

From Bandai's Candy Toy Blog:
Doesn't seem like he's gonna be included in Ride5 of Zi-O, we'll know more on his release by the end of the Tear.

So-Do seems determined to release every form, including those that aren't even in the show, so this isn't much of a surprise.
Also neat; Gaim includes a few extra parts to replicate the big 'arms part' formation.
So Oma Zi-O is confirmed. We'll probably get Woz (and form parts), Zi-O 2 and Gates' new form. The future Riders themselves are less guaranteed but wouldn't be a surprise. That's a few waves. Maybe the future trio as a P-Bandai?

If they do anything at Premium Bandai, it'll be the Time Mazines. Or maybe Tsukoyomi if she ever has a Rider form. I'm surprised they haven't yet announced the inevitable slight-upgrade versions of Geiz and Zi-O with more paint and additional stickers.

Glad to see him being made, can't wait to see what else is coming.

I'm still stuck on Build, but once I'm finished, I'm coming for you, Zi-O!

Unlike Figuarts, SODO is usually good at releasing all the essential characters at retail. I believe everyone from EX-Aid and Build got released at retail with only a handful of forms ending up as limited release or exclusives.

The way they described the Time Mazine kind of made it sound like a new category, which sort of suggests there'll be more than one.
Zi-O and Geiz have already got more than one kind of body, some of which released multiple times. An upgraded base form will probably come a short way down the line

So Geiz will get his at minimum, but we will likely see others too like the time jacker vehicles and mechs.
