The Transformation Belt Beyondriver (変身ベルト ビヨンドライバー, Henshin Beruto BiyonDoraibā) is a transformation device used by Kamen Rider Woz. It uses Miridewatches as its primary collectible device.
Design[]
The Beyondriver is composed of the following parts:
- Mapping Slot (マッピングスロット, Mappingu Surotto): A slot that is used to insert Miridewatches.
- Crank-in Handle (クランクインハンドル, Kuranku In Handoru): The handle used to push the Miridewatch into the Beyondriver's side. When pushed, the Miridewatch begins to transmit data into the Beyondriver.
- Prime Frame Circuit (プライムフレームサーキット, Puraimu Furēmu Sākitto): The Beyondriver's green frame that surrounds the window. It is made up of the same durable material that covers the rest of the Beyondriver, and the Beyondriver's shape allows the material to wrap around vital internal mechanisms, shielding them from intense combat.
- Beyond Future Riser (ビヨンドフューチャーライザー, Biyondo Fuyūchā Raizā): The blue strip located within the three green 'buttons' to the left. It is a theoretical realization device that materializes Kamen Rider Woz's suit and armor by using data within the inserted Miridewatch.
- Miride Scope (ミライドスコープ, Miraido Sukōpu): The window in the middle. Its structure is specially designed to enable high-speed optical communication with a Miridewatch. It contains a data projection mechanism that projects Kamen Rider Woz's equipment into the air before it is realized. To cope with the large amounts of data being released by the inserted Miridewatch, the Miride Scope projects the suit/weapon in the air as various parts before compiling them together.
- Winding Belt (ワインディングベルト, Waindingu Beruto): The strap. It scans the wearer's physique and clothes in order to adjust itself to ensure a tight, yet comfortable, grip.
Functionality[]
Transformation[]
To transform, the user presses a Miridewatch's Miride On Starter and inserts it into the Mapping Slot. Pressing the Miride On Starter again will cause the Miridewatch’s Gate Activator to open, revealing its Send Projector. A smartwatch is projected behind the user as geometric shapes appear around them. Closing the Crank-in Handle will send the data of the Miridewatch to the Miride Scope, initiating transformation.
As there have been two users of the Beyondriver, there are two variations:
- For White Woz, the background clock resembles a modern smartwatch, as strobe lights surround him. As he pushes the lever, green watch bands surround him to form the suit, as the katakana forms onto his visor.
- For Woz himself, the clock screen resembles the Ohma Advent Calendar book front. The transformation is the same for him.
When using a Future Rider Miridewatch, the lighting effects differ from each:
- Futurering Shinobi: the green bands turn purple as the armor materializes from the lights.
- Futurering Quiz: The bands turn orange as the armor forms from the lights.
- Futurerng Kikai: the bands turn a shade of gold yellow as the armor forms from the lights. As based on a machine, the sound effects add mechanical sounds when moving.
- WozGingaFinaly: Woz summons a smaller version of the Milky Way Galaxy as several planets surround him. They ll then form the armor on him as a cape appears from his back.
Finishers[]
- Main Article: Time Finisher
To initiate a finisher, the user opens the Crank-in Handle before closing it again.

Notes[]
- The Miride Scope's projection gimmick in the Beyondriver is a play on the word "projection" itself, as the word also means a forecast of the future. Both users of the Beyondriver fulfill this role of forecasting, or more aptly, "projecting" the future they envisioned.
- Similar to Ziku-Driver, the DX Beyondriver also has the katakana for "belt" (ベルト, Beruto) on its battery slot cover.
- The Ridewatch Break finishers are never used in the series.
