Kamen Rider Gatack

Description

Woohoo!  Here's the next Kabuto rider, the pretty much secondary rider, though debuting a good bit into the series, Kamen Rider Gatack.  His name is a portmanteau of the Japanese word "kuwagata" (stag beetle) and the word "attack". 

From left to right: Masked Form, Rider Form, Hyper Form, and Hyper Clock Up.  Gatack's character had actually been in the series since the beginning, and it was teased Kagami would be a rider from episode one, so it is nice he finally was able to become one.  However, he's always learning and nearly always under Tendou/Kabuto's shadow.  They're polar opposites in character, pretty decent opposites in coloring, but still maintain a friendship throughout the series even though Tendou/Kabuto only really acknowledges their friendship in the last episode.

His design is cool.  I like that they used another beetle motif but changed the armor rather than recolor Kabuto as they did for Dark Kabuto and the movie riders.  Same goes for the new zecter, which functions just like Kabuto's, with three clicks getting a rider kick, and the fangs/horns moving for the transition from Masked->Rider Form.  His Rider Form is my favorite of the bunch because it looks slick but violent.  His Masked Form is cool because it adds a good bit to the standard armor with the canons and his horns/fangs bent down (blame tokusatsu physics for them being attacked/detached but w/e).  His Masked Form's helmet is kinda neat too.  Now his Hyper Form is a different story...it's just so lame.  The Hyper Battle Video was what, 15 minutes?  So I understand there's no real reason for them to put a lot of time into Gatack's Hyper Form because it was on screen for maybe a minute or two, but I really would've appreciated a lot more blue and gauntlet/shin armor similar to Hyper Kabuto.  And eesh, just a recolor for Hyper Clock Up? 

In summary, great forms from the series in Masked and Rider Form.  Terrible special form from the HBV with Hyper Gatack.  Just two more riders (but really just one design) left to go!!
