Fourze's 40 Swtiches list and Final States Rumors

After listening on the sounds on the DX Fourze Driver. Below is a list of the switches that has and will be featured on the TV series Kamen Rider Fourze - all 40 of them. There are some mentioned switches here that are yet to be presented but I've added a few tidbits and rumors that came with it.

Below is an appendix where each switch goes/forms to which module in Fourze's armor:

Circle  - right arm

Cross - right leg

Square - left arm

Triangle - left leg

Here we go.

The Meteor, Super Tatoba, Double Rocket and Magnet State

We now have a more detailed image of Super Tatoba and Fourze Double Rocket States. These forms will be featured in the upcoming movie Fourze & OOO Movie Wars MEGAMAX.

Super Tatoba is a mix of the Tajadol Taka head coupled with the all yellow tora torso and all green batta legs. Fourze Double Rocket States on the other hand (no pun intended) has two rockets for each arm and the white accent will be replaced with red orange feel. He will be using Astro Switch No.S-1 (Super One) to create this form. It is also stated that its FMCS figure will also be available in 2012. Many toy collectors are predicting that their SH Figuarts toy versions will come out on the same year as exclusives. Even with this in mind, not many are happy that these upgrades are repaints of Tatoba/Tajadol and Base States.

OOO-medal set 5 SP released!

CStoys International demoed the recently released the latest Kamen Rider OOO Medal Set - the Medal Set SP from Bandai. The core medals forms the Burakawani combo. The set also features are our first look at the DX Fourze's switch number 5.

This has the three "lost" core medals - Cobra, Kame and Wani that was featured in the movie Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The shogun and 21 cores. The bonus switch is an Astro Switch which activates the Magic Hand. However, this is somewhat useless at face value without the Fourze Driver coming this September. So you need to wait till the driver hit shelves.

More Kamen Rider Fourze info!

 

Fourze's catch or henshin phrase is a countdown - 3, 2, 1 HENSHIN!

Despite the strong rumors that Ryuki Takahashi was the next Kamen Rider, it is formally announced that Sota Fukushi is Fourze. Ryuki is a delinquent student from Amanokawa Academy who accidentally (don't they all) stumbles upon the Fourze Driver. Consequently, an evil force formed from a mysterious energy creates monsters that would wreak havoc on Earth. Fourze is born to fight these monsters and there will be occasions that Fourze will fight these monsters in space, hence his space suit motif.
