The Transformation Belt Amazons Driver (変身ベルト アマゾンズドライバー, Henshin Beruto Amazonzu Doraibā) is a transformation belt used by Kamen Riders Amazon Omega, Amazon Alpha, and Amazon Sigma in Kamen Rider Amazons.[1]
History[]
It is currently unknown how the Amazons Driver was created, however it's very likely that Nozama Pharmacy had no knowledge of the Driver creation as they weren't able to create any prior to analyzing Jin Takayama's driver.[EYES IN THE DARK]
At the start of the series, one Driver was already used by Jin to transform into Amazon Alpha, while another was kept as a spare in his house. After discovering the existence of Haruka Mizusawa, a second Amazon similar to Jin, Nanaha Izumi then gave the other Amazons Driver to Haruka, allowing him to control himself while transformed as Amazon Omega. It is currently unknown if other Drivers existed at that time.
A third Driver was created by replicating data from Jin's Amazons Driver when he was briefly captured by the Nozama Pharmacy. This one was given to Jun Maehara, revived by transplanting newly developed Amazon Cells into his corpse, letting him become Amazon Sigma.
The Amazons Driver would be succeeded by the Neo Amazons Driver, which was used by Amazon Neo, Amazon New Omega, and Amazon Neo Alpha.
Design[]
The Amazons Driver is composed of the following parts:[2]
- Condorer Core (コンドラーコア, Kondorā Koa): The core unit. It emits special pulses that stimulate the wearer's Amazon Cells, changing the wearer's body structure and providing them with superior combat abilities.
- Acceler Grip (アクセラーグリップ, Akuserā Gurippu): The Driver's left grip. Controls transformation and finishing attack activation. Twisting the grip forward and then back again activates the Condorer Core, stimulating the user's Amazon cells and transforming them into an enhanced version of their natural Amazon form. Also enhances certain body parts for finishing attacks.
- Battler Grip (バトラーグリップ, Batorā Gurippu): The Driver's right grip. Able to detach and transform into a variety of weapons based on the will of the user. Has been shown taking the forms of a spear, a whip, a sickle, and a small blade.
- Orga Bind (オルガバインド, Oruga Baindo): The belt part. It is made from a special hard rubber that is highly durable and adjusts freely to fit the wearer's body.
- Connectinger (コネクテイソガー, Konekuteingā): A status management device installed on the Neo Amazons Driver that touches the wearer's back. It maximizes the wearer's combat abilities by monitoring the wearer's physical data and damage status, and optimizing the core unit's pulse output, etc.
Functionality[]
To transform, the user simply turns the Acceler Grip on the Driver forward and back again. The Driver will then light up its "eyes" (with different Driver having a different "eye" color) and announce the user's designated Rider name followed by unique transformation music. The user will instantly transform into his Rider form in a bright explosive flash capable of knocking people/Amazon back and burning surrounding objects.
Despite the shape and function of all known Drivers looking identical (save for the "eye" color and orientation of the faceplate), it is not known whether Riders can exchange Drivers.
Finishers[]
By turning the Acceler Grip on the Driver while transformed, a Rider can execute one of the following finishers:
- Violent Punish (バイオレントパニッシュ, Baiorento Panisshu): Amazon Omega's cutting finisher. The spikes on his right forearm will extend, allowing Omega to slice enemy Amazons in half or inflict heavy damage with a single swipe.
- Violent Slash (バイオレントスラッシュ, Baiorento Surasshu): Amazon Alpha's cutting finisher. Alpha leaps forward and slashes the enemy with his arm spikes.
- Violent Strike (バイオレントストライク, Baiorento Sutoraiku): Amazon Alpha, Omega, and Sigma's Rider Kick.
- Violent Break (バイオレントブレイク, Baiorento Bureiku): Weapon finisher.
Users (chronological order)[]
| User | Kamen Rider | Episode Obtained | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jin Takayama | Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha | Pre-series | Jin had already been in possession of his Amazons Driver for an unknown period of time by the start of the series. What happened to the driver after its user's death is unknown. |
| Haruka Mizusawa | Kamen Rider Amazon Omega | BEAST INSIDE | Haruka was given Jin's spare Amazons Driver by Nanaha, which he used to transform into Kamen Rider Amazon Omega. Haruka later retired this Driver in favor of the superior Neo Amazons Driver, but later used it again after the latter was destroyed by Amazon Neo Alpha. |
| Jun Maehara | Kamen Rider Amazon Sigma | INTO THE CANNIBAL'S POT | Jun's Amazons Driver was a replication of Jin's Amazon Driver made by the Nozama Pharmacy during his brief capture there. It was later used by a prototype test subject and was destroyed soon after. |

Weapons[]
There are four types of weapons generated by Battle Grip:
- Amazon Spear (アマゾンスピアー, Amazon Supiā)
- Amazon Whip (アマゾンウィップ, Amazon Uippu)
- Amazon Scythe (アマゾンサイズ, Amazon Saizu)
- Amazon Blade (アマゾンブレード, Amazon Burēdo)
Notes[]
- The shape of the Amazons Driver is based on the Condorer. However, while the Amazons Driver is a transformation device, the Condorer is not.
- The Battler Grip of the driver functions in a manner similar to the Ridol, as it can reconfigure into different weapons.
