A new set of Legend Rider toys are upon us, with the Shift Cars attempt at the gimmick reveled through hacking the Drive Driver!

While not as unique as the Rider Lock Seeds that came out of Gaim, the Legend Rider Shift Cars seems to allow the Drive Driver itself to cycle through the different Kamen Rider insignias appearing via it’s light up LED feature.

Of course, we all know about Drive Type Fruits from the recent Movie War Full Throttle scans that just dropped earlier this week, but other Heisei Riders will be represented as well in addition to a noise for Dark Riders(Ichigo is shown, Shocker Rider Shift Cars perhaps?) And Black RX’s Rideron.

With only a hack to go on, we have no way of knowing what the Shift Cars themselves will look like or even how they’ll work with the Driver itself. Stay tuned and we’ll bring more up to date information as it becomes available.

Start your engine!

Baltmatrix and I have teamed up once again to deliver a 1-2 punch of toku reviews! This time we’re taking a look at the DX Tridoron from Kamen Rider Drive!

To start we’ve assembled a full 50+ image gallery of DX Tridoron for your viewing after the jump. This excellent vehicle is big, functional, and did we mention BIG? As one of the larger DX rider vehicles ever made it will make your collection of rider bikes feel inadequate. Tridoron also has the ability to transform into it’s 3 basic Types like Drive; Speed, Wild, & Technique. That in addition to it’s Tire Koukan compatibility, it’s functionality with shift cars, and the fact that it can accommodate 6″ figures in it’s cockpit all make the DX  Tridoron worth a purchase in my book. And don’t forget the included Midnight Shadow Shift Car & Tire as well as the pre-order bonus Max Flare Full Throttle Version Shift Car!

And now take a look below for a full video review of this wonderful toy by my good friend Baltmatrix! On loan from my personal collection to Balt, I hope you enjoy his in depth look at DX Tridoron! This video review will showcase the transformations of Tridoron in practice as well as the way the in which it’s electronic gimmicks function & it’s compatibility with Tire Koukan tires & figures!

We’ll be back in the near future with yet more tag team gallery/video reviews from your favorite toku heroes old & new! But for now, All you need is Drive!

With the approach of Kamen Rider Drive right around the corner, more and more scans and information is coming out regarding the upcoming hero’s form changes, toys, accessories, and so much more. Thanks to a post on the Kamen Rider Facebook Fan Page and our friends from HeroTaku.com, we have some new Shift Cars (the devices used to change forms and access new abilities) to share with you.

The scans aren’t too great but check out the new reveals: Shift Wild, Shift Technique, Justice Hunter, Spin Mixer, Massive Monster, Dream Pegasus, Dimension Cab, Mad Doctor, Rumble Dump, Fire Braver, and Rolling Gravity! Kamen Rider Drive premieres on Sunday, October 5th in Japan, but thanks to the powers of time differences, it can be viewed online through various streaming sources on the western half of the world at 7pm EST on Saturday, October 4th.
