Kabuto design pics

Because having more riders than a Sentai team can be good.

I'm happy they changed from those designs. Some of them are just godawful, like that entire row up top with bugs-on-their-heads for helmets, but especially TheBee. Interesting to see how the design of the Hoppers evolved, though; now the helmets make sense. Amusing, too, to see how Gatack seemed to have originally been another bare-knuckle fighter, even armored.

I kind of like these better than the real ones, Although who is that supposed to be between Kabuto and Drake in the lineup at the top.
And thats kind of unexpected, Punch Hopper the green one and Kick Hopper is the Brown one in one of those frames.

I kind of like the insect team, the more buggier the better? It's just nice that they're not all the same from the waist down.

I kind of like the design version Hoppers better

It's Gatack, Leangle. Apparently, he was green once upon a time, much like Sasword was red.

I would expected two horns pointing out the front which made me not realize that was Gatack

I think the first image of Kabuto is pretty Bad-Ass looking...would have worked for Dark Kabuto at least.

I agree, They should have had that Rider Form for Dark Kabuto and have Masked Form stay as Kabuto's Masked Form, they'd have to find a whole new one for Dark Kabuto but still.

These look really cool. I like how they actually have their respective insects on their helme-Oh my god, Masked Form Kabuto looks a friggin' mech! That's awesome! Are those Zectroopers in gasmasks!? Kabuto's bike can transform into a flying beetle!?

The Zectroopers remind me of the Shocker troops from Kamen Rider The First. The actual Hopper helmets make so much more sense now. The Anchor Jacks make a lot more sense how they are there as well, but would be very restricting when it comes to actually moving with them on the actual suits. They'd have to be very loose and durable on the actual suits. But yeah they make more sense there, because it looks like they actually sprung the arms and legs forward forcefully from a bent position to start. Which actually sounds rather painful :shock:

It would have been great if they kept leg armor on the masked form....
it would have evened out Sasword who looks abit top heavy in masked form IMO..
but having bulky armor for the legs would have been hard to work with i guess.
I can dance too!
