Shinnosuke Tomari is a police officer from an elite team created after the Global Freeze incident. During his time with the Special Investigation Unit, he encounters Mr. Belt and fights against Roidmude as Kamen Rider Drive.
Throughout the story, Kamen Rider Drive has various forms, known as Types. Each type has its own advantages in combat. Tomari typically uses a specific type depending on the opponent or the battle situation he faces.
Now, we'll review the main forms of Kamen Rider Drive. Let's get straight to the point!
1. Speed Type
This form is the most frequently displayed form of Kamen Rider Drive. Its design is based on a sports car and can be accessed using the Shift Speed Car. The Speed Type has a balanced power compared to the other types.
As the name suggests, one of this type's main attacks is high speed. When Drive lifts the Shift Speed Car three times, Drive can move extremely fast and perform high-speed attacks to destroy targets.
2. Type Wild
While the previous form was based on a sports car, this Type Wild form is based on a dune buggy. This form can be accessed through the Shift Wild Car. Furthermore, Type Wild focuses more on physical strength and defense.
When using this form, Drive can significantly increase his strength and strengthen his defense. However, Drive's speed decreases during this form, preventing him from jumping or moving as agilely.
3. Type Technic
The third form possessed by Kamen Rider Drive is Type Technic, which is modeled after a garbage truck. This form can be accessed through the Shift Technic Car. Its power can be said to be somewhere between Type Speed and Type Wild due to its superior offensive capabilities.
With this form, Drive is able to attack opponents with greater precision and can analyze the battlefield. This ability allows Drive to adapt to various combat situations. Furthermore, Type Technic also minimizes Kamen Rider Drive's blind spots in combat.
4. Type Dead Heat
This form is quite unique because it is based on a motorcycle sidecar, and Drive's appearance is almost identical to Kamen Rider Mach. This form can be used by Drive by accessing the Type Deadheat Car.
In terms of capabilities, Type Dead Heat surpasses the previous three forms in terms of speed, strength, and defense. Additionally, Drive can access Super Heavy Acceleration, which increases his power even more. Unfortunately, this form's capabilities have certain limits and can cause Drive to lose control when overloaded.
5. Type Formula
As the name suggests, this Kamen Rider Drive form is very similar in characteristics to an F-1 race car. Drive can use this form by accessing the Shift Formula Car. Furthermore, this form has a cool-looking design and is covered in stickers.
Type Formula's power is certainly stronger than Dead Heat. This form has special acceleration abilities that allow Drive to move at extremely fast speeds, equivalent to the speed of sound, between 500 m/s and 833 m/s. At this speed, Type Formula can deliver super-powerful punches and kicks.
6. Type Tridoron
Type Tridoron is the strongest form of Kamen Rider Drive, also inspired by a sports car. Although this form is similar to Type Speed, its power is significantly greater because Drive's Tridoron car transforms into armor that merges with Kamen Rider Drive's body.
To access this form, Drive must use the Shift Tridoron Car. In this form, Drive has a punching force of 2 tons and a kicking force of 2.4 tons. Furthermore, Drive's speed in this form remains stable and equal to the power of Type Formula.
Furthermore, Drive Type Tridoron can also create an energy barrier that can withstand attacks from Super Evolution Roidmude. Therefore, this form is Kamen Rider Drive's mainstay in defeating high-level Roidmude.
