History
2019: Vanishing Watches
In 2019, an alternate version of Chase appears as Mashin Chaser, declaring himself the enemy of all Kamen Riders and attacking Geiz Myokoin and Woz. Rather than being one of Another Decade's summoned Dark Riders, he seemingly comes from the world created by Sougo Tokiwa obtaining the Drive Ridewatch, in which the Roidmudes existed but the Kamen Riders who oppose them did not. Geiz manages to stun Chase by pointing out the logical paradox in his words (he can't be the enemy of Kamen Riders if he comes from a world where Riders don't exist), then says that history has been altered and reminds him of the existence of Go Shijima, which causes Chase to remember his original sacrifice against Gold Drive.

Personality
To be added.
Mashin Chaser
While Chase uses the Break Gunner to transform into his battle form, unlike the Roidmudes who require Viral Cores as it comprises their body, Chase can use Viral Cores to augment Mashin Chaser's power further. This power-up is known as Tune Chasers (武装チェイサー, Busō Cheisā, lit. "Armed Chaser") and each Tune Chaser have their own weapons powered by the E-Circular (E-サーキュラー, Ī-Sākyurā) materializing from the Circular Dynamics (サーキュラーダイナミクス, Sākyurā Dainamikusu) on his back. Whenever he executes a Full Break (フルブレイク, Furu Bureiku) finishing blow, the silver pipes on his Night Hide Wear (ナイトハイドウェア, Naito Haido Uea) suit called the G-Junction (G-ジャンクション, Ji-Jankushon) empower the attacks made.

- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Ability Perimeters:
- Punching power: 7.3 t.[1]
- Kicking power: 12.2 t.[1]
- Maximum jump height: 24 m.[1]
- Maximum running speed: 100 m. per 6.9 sec.[1]
When brainwashed and fighting for the Roidmudes, Chase transforms into Mashin Chaser (魔進チェイサー, Mashin Cheisā, lit. "Advance Demon Chaser"), where he is armed with the Break Gunner and drives the Ride Chaser. Since both Heart and Brain only wanted Chase to incapacitate rogue Roidmudes instead of fully destroying them, his arsenal as well was made not to kill their Cores, a trait that was shared from his first appearance as Protodrive.
This form is seen briefly before Chase's first transformation into Kamen Rider Chaser and is indeed still available to be accessed by Chase via the Break Gunner despite retiring it in favor of becoming a Kamen Rider again, as demonstrated when he became Mashin Chaser once more to save Go from Gold Drive following the destruction of his Mach Driver Honoh.
The Mashin Chaser suit includes the following accessories:
- Nightmare Helm (ナイトメアヘルム, Naitomea Herumu) - Head
- Radiator Guard (ラジエーターガード, Rajiētā Gādo) - Right-sided shoulder pad that draws heat from the surroundings as an internal cooling system.
- Core Driviar-0 (コア・ドライビア-0, Koa Doraibia-Zero) - A built-in of the Core Driviar prototype.
- Violet Guard (ヴァイオレットガード, Vaioretto Gādo) - Several purple colored armor surrounding the Night Hide Wear. As a sample of an Advanced Roidmude, Chase shedded a piece of it with his Break Gunner. Giving it to Kiriko, it was then used by Rinna to modify the Rider systems to target Roidmude physiology exclusively to preserve human hosts of the Fusion Evolution State, as well as to create the Kamen Rider Chaser system by linking it to the second Mach Driver Honoh.
- Death Head Shoulder (デスヘッドショルダー, Desu Heddo Shorudā) - Left-sided shoulder pad.
- Armed Impactor (アームドインパクター, Āmudo Inpakutā) - Gauntlets
- Revolt Brace (リボルトブレス, Riboruto Buresu) - Wristbands
- Raid Glove (レイドグローブ, Reido Gurōbu) - Able to punch through 2 cm-thick iron plate.
- Armed Enhance (アームドエンハンス, Āmudo Enhansu) - Right-sided Armed Impactor.
- Pad Impulsar (パッドインパルサー, Paddo Inparusā) - Knee pads.
- Strength Leg (ストレングスレッグ, Sutorengusu Reggu) - Legs
- Tracer Boots (トレイサーブーツ, Toreisā Būtsu) - Feet
