Gamer Driver

From TV-Nihon

The Gamer Driver is the primary transformation device of the Kamen Riders in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.

History

Created by GENM Corporation in response to the proliferation of the Bugster virus, the Gamer Driver accesses the powers in video game cartridges known as Gashats and bestows them on it's wearer.

Transformations

Depending on the number of Gashats inserted or the position of the lever, the Gamer Driver can transform a Rider into a variety of forms.

Level 1

A chibi-like form that is meant for the first stage of operations during which the feral form of the Bugster virus, still in development, is forcibly seperated from it's host. It is accessed by inserting a Gashat into the face of the Gamer Driver.

Level 2

The main form for most Riders, it is usually more humanoid-looking and used for the destruction of the final form of any given Bugster once it has been separated from it's host. It is accessed by pulling back the lever of the Gamer Driver to reveal the Rider's true form.

Level 3

A more powerful form that combines two games, and therefore requires inserting two different Gashats into the face of the Gamer Driver. It uses the original Level 2 form of the Rider as the base and overlays the secondary Gashat's abilities over it. This is usually presented as upper body armour, though in the case of Lazer it creates full body armour.

Stage Select

Sometimes a Rider will wish to fight on more advantageous ground or wish to be taken to the digital realm in which a Bugster is waiting, in which case the Stage Select feature on the belt can be used to access a world inside one of the games on the Gashat in question. This immediately teleports them, their opponents, and (sometimes) anyone in their immediate surroundings to a separate location.

Gashats

Gashats are the cartridges that contain the forms of the heroes and worlds from each game which the Gamer Driver brings into reality.
