With the release of next month's issues of Hyper Hobby and TOEI Hero Max magazines, more Kamen Rider Fourze information was revealed. This basically confirms the existence of “Kamen Rider urban legend” that was rumored before.
Kamen Rider Fourze’s base form is called “Base States”, which is accessed when Gentaro uses the space energy inside the Astro Switches. It’s stats are as followed:
Kamen Rider Fourze’s exclusive bike is the Machine Masshigler. Although, that’s just what Gentaro named it. It’s official name is “ORB-40F”It uses hydrogen as fuel and doesn’t release any CO2. The Astro Switches are the sources of Fourze’s powers. These switches hold an unknown energy called “Cosmic Energy”.
A rocket is equipped on his right arm. By enabling the Exhaust Thruster, Fourze can add up another 4 t to his punches.
He can shoot 5 missiles from his right leg.
It’s equipped on his left leg. It’s spins around 200 rpm.
By using this module, Fourze can give his Launcher Module homing missiles. He’s also able to reflect certain waves.
The Magic Hand is equipped on his right hand, which gives him an extra 10 m reach. The end of the Magic Hand is called the “End Effect Pliers” which can lift up any object up to 6 t.
The Zodiarts use switches that are very different from Fourze’s. These are called “Zodiart Switches”. A human can use this to turn into a Zodiart. The Scorpion Zodiart is actually one of the stronger monsters, who suddenly shows up in Amanogawa High School.
In episode 1 and 2, someone will use the Orion Switch to turn into the Orion Zodiart. He uses a giant club called Lemnos and a shield called Chios, named after two Greek islands.
Kengo Utahoshi received the Fourze Driver along with 40 Astro Switches from his dying father. He wishes to fight against the Zodiarts with the Fourze Driver, but due to his weak body he’s unable to fight. Kengo eventually gives Gentaro Kisaragi the belt when they meet. The heroine Yuki Joujima is actually Gentaro’s childhood friend who’s Kengo’s classmate. She calls herself a “space nerd” and Japan’s happiest schoolgirl.

Huh...the Zodiart Switches are sort of like the Gaia Memories from Double.
Then again, I guess if you want your monster-transformation-devices to do the maximum amount of damage, spreading them around a high school populated by angst-ridden teenagers would be a good way to do it...
40 swtiches?!?! WTF is there gonna be 1 switch premiering every episode?
So if Fourze activate all his switches at once, he will become something like Birth-Day? And perhaps they'll name him as Fourze-Anniversary!
40 seems like a lot of switches. Even V3 only had 26 Secrets... Maybe they are limited in some way. Perhaps they get used up like the Zeronos Cards?
Maybe not every switch is used for his armor?
Gaia Memories could be used for other things besides Double's forms, so maybe there's a switch to power his bike or a switch that works the portal leading to the Rabbit Hutch or something.
Also, it's interesting to note that the radar switch seems to give a power-up to the missile switch.
I wonder if any of the other switches can be used together to create different effects/power-ups/combos/whatever?
I'm sure in near futue during the movie special, there will be another rider created due to the fusion of Dopant Memory + Core Medals + Zodiarts Switches.
One Rider Card
Two Gaia Memory
Three Core Medals
Four Astros Switches
Omg...
The 6 and the 7 must be the Fire Mode and the Elek Mode.
I smell a Double + Faiz in this... (you know, faiz??? when the first few Orphenoch had one of the stronger ones? i think it was the Zebra dude or something..
This is starting to sound kind of like a mix between Double and Kabuto. Maybe Gentaro will have a God complex and Kengo, who wants to be a rider but can't yet (aka Arata Kagami/Kamen Rider Gatack), will become the second rider later?
either way.. i'll gonna watch this series... im interested in the wild concept ideas...
i'll miss ozu for sure but im gonna welcome the next rider.... :)
