Based on what?

Yeah but pictures from the event either have to leak or come out when Toei says so.

I'd remove that link to be safe, links to sites with magazine scans are usually banned.
Of course, they don't seem to really crack down on the OT-side of things, and that's just a toy catalog, but I'd remove the link just to be on the safe side.
Maybe some more merchandise outside the cars? The return of "Robot Buddies"?
You are right I thought the only cars would be the henshin devices. They probably got more for weapons and shit.

Ultraman peaked when he fought Venom in those movies.

I like Ginga...no love for ultraman?
(To my understanding, the last Ultraman show before Ginga was Neo in 2008-2009. It's not that people hate Ultraman, but rather the franchise hasn't had yearly, ongoing installments from year to year in order for a fanbase to grow like with Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.)

I like part of Ultraman, but honestly, I literally skip the mecha fights when I watch Super Sentai and Ultraman is pretty much focused on that. The highpoint for me was probably the Zero film with Ultra Galaxy being the best. Of course, that was directed by Sakamoto, and he moved onto Sentai and Kamen Rider.

...and just in general. Don't worry. You'll have tons of little toy cars to collect.
There will be dozens upob dozens of those toy cars that go on the thing. I can see it.

A rumor posted before the scans, but which had seemingly the right names for several cars there, suggested that we're getting collectible toys for the villains too this year, not just the main Rider. "Mashin(Advancing Demon) Chasers" seems to be the name of the enemies and Spider Viral Core, Bat Viral Core and Cobra Viral Core the first three collectibles for them.
It doesn't seem like we're getting multiple Riders though, so we're back to a two Rider show. Although with the villains getting merchandising from the start, they might be treated differently from what we saw in the W-Wizard years. There were some Gaia Memories and Zodiarts Switches released for those series, but in those cases it was afterwards and they had generic sounds of multiple Dopants/Zodiarts.

bad gameplay lol
I disagree. The two Rider format is stale and boring. However, I can agree to something like a four Rider show. Two Riders isn't enough, but Gaim's 12-13 Riders IS a bit much.

fuckin' called it, man
I read someone's notes on the Gaim and Toq movie and it said "90% of the movie deals with Kota not understanding whats going on.". Really not that much different form how he is on the show.

Something like Agito's set-up where there were essentially 3 MCs would be nice.
There can be a middle ground
Thats sad, a hero shouldn't be simple like that. If they are they should be like Fourze, grasps complex shit but boils it down to their logic.

I really hope not. I'm going to try and stay open-minded regardless but it would really suck to go back to such a strict format after what Gaim was able to do. They don't have to make the narrative continuous but please save the two parters for when important stuff is happening.

What in the hell are you people talking about? Kouta has went through a bunch of changes from his first introduction.
Kouta started out as some unreliable young adult who didn't know what to do with his life. He was done Beat Riding and wanted to grow up fast because his parents aren't around and his sis takes all the work on herself.
So he goes out to find a job and then shit happens with turning into Gaim. He struggles with what to do, and doesn't even become an official Kamen Rider until MUCH later. During this time, he's a dickhead, full of himself, as a bodyguard, before nearly getting
killed and being frightened because shit, this organization doesn't fuck around.
Then, he gets his resolve to fight for real. He's still struggling with what to do with life, but damnit, he's getting on the right track.
Next, even more shit happens with the Overlords, and him having to
kill Hase and had killed Yuuya
Okay, so then he figures out the shit with the forest, and that's when he decides to protect the city as a Kamen Rider. Later on, he tries his best to talk to the Overlords, but figures out in the span of only a few episodes that it's a bad idea, and
resolves to become one
That's not including fighting HawkTiger's ideals while getting his put in check from going too far (befriending the Overlords wouldn't work).
Kouta went from a unstable dude to a true Kamen Rider, with actual shit happening to him to back that up instead of "YES I AM KAMEN RIDER".

I agree, but we should certainly keep the Gaim episode format.
not sure if I want this...
GOD DAMNIT! I really wanted the TItanium ranger key ><
So American Dricera really is purple.
http://news.tokunation.com/2014/07/23/bandai-photos-sdcc-2014-19461
Dricera is the Triceratops, and that's a "boy toy", and since "boy toys" aren't pink, it was recolored purple. At least going by RangerCrew...
I swear... execs know nothing. The "girls don't buy toys" mindset is beyond toxic.
theres gonna have to be a lot of editing if thats the case. i fear what they plan to do for rail raiders.
Wouldn't be the first time the toys didn't match the show. (TVTropes warning)
I don't think they're going to edit Dricera in the show. I recall MLP:FIM had a character that was white, but her toy was pink.

Oh man, there's pictures out of some of the Legacy Rider Lock Seed Forms in the Ganbaride game...
Like Kuuga Knuckles, Hibiki Bravo, Kiva Sigurd...so wish we got these in the show.

That's probably it. I forgot that Kyoryuzin's base form was the first three part mech with a pink component. Stupid decision regardless considering that its whole gimmick is to be modular.
zangetsu with all the best forms. and peach fourze...

The only thing that comes to mind is the opposite happening, where the White Shogunzord was painted pink for the PR toy.

There's 3 episodes out already
what? why? Did they do it for a Pterodactyl callback?

Who even knows. Consistency with the previous Megazords having a piece each from the core five colours?
It was Tommy's Zord in the show with Kat "co-piloting" (in other words just kinda standing behind him in the cockpit) so it's not like they were trying to present it as a Pink Zord or anything on television, it just became the Pink Shogunzord in the toyline.

Another toyguide scan appeared for Driver.
"Mashin Chaser" is labeled as a "Rival" character, and it seems to be a single hero/villain with three collectibles, rather than multiple villains. Although he doesn't have "Rider" in his name, he's also getting his transformation device and a figurine in the main toyline (like the equivalent of Gaim's Arms Change series).
So, he pretty much seems to be a possibly evil Rider, just not called one. I wonder if we'll get Tsukada as a producer again (W/Fourze)? His shows and movies seemed to be the only ones that worried about how evil Riders weren't real riders, with the characters calling out evil people who called themselves Riders or just not using evil Riders.

That tidbit and the way Drive's car is named gives me the feeling that they're trying to go for a Black throwback...

Definitely evil Rider.
iirc the only time he's classified as a Rider was the SIC box.
None of his other merchandises do. I'd like him to be not a Rider, myself.

There's also some other stuff, like the Shadowmoon medal, the package with it called him a Rival Rider. There was also the Super Climax Heroes site. Also, some promotion for All Riders vs Dai-Shocker called him an evil Rider. Still, it's inconsistent, and most of the time he's just "Shadowmoon".

He's a rider when Toei finds it convenient. Just like how he sucks ass in combat when Toei needs to make a new hero look powerful.
