The Transformation Belt Chimera Driver (変身ベルト キメラドライバー, Henshin Beruto Kimera Doraibā) is the transformation device used by Kamen Rider Chimera and Kamen Rider Daimon.
The Chimera Driver was created by George Karizaki after he resolved to not rely on the power of demons any longer. However, it was stolen by Chic along with one of Giff's eyes. George later created a second Chimera Driver and embedded the other eye into it.
Overview[]
Few people are able to transform with the Chimera Driver, and those who fail are transformed into a demon. In the case of George Karizaki, failing to transform instead released Chic, his father's inner demon that had been transferred to him. Even successfully transforming places a heavy burden on the user, and repeated usage still poses the risk of becoming a demon. Despite George not wanting to use the power of demons anymore, the back plate of the Chimera Driver can be removed to reveal a compartment for installing one of Giff's eyes. Doing so results in a stronger transformation as well as gives the Driver the ability to separate inner demons from people and bring them under the user's control. While transforming into Kamen Rider Daimon, Azuma suffered no ill effects. Whether this is due to his Driver using one of Giff's eyes or Azuma's altered physiology due to making a contract with Giff is unknown.
When one of Giff's eyes is installed, the Driver also has several abilities of its own that can be used without transforming. It can extract Giff's cells from people who possess them, materialize inner demons as Giff Juniors, and transform people into Gifftarians. It is also able to generate a crimson energy dome large enough to cover a city. This barrier can be broken by another Chimera Driver equipped with Giff's other eye.
Design[]
The Chimera Driver is composed of the following parts: to be added
Functionality[]
Transformation[]
To transform, the user activates a Vistamp and inserts it into the slot of the Driver, then pulls it to the side.
- Chimera: Silver energy crab claws and orange energy crocodile jaws appear around the user while their body is covered in energy DNA strands. The claws and jaws close over the user, transforming them into Kamen Rider Chimera.
- Daimon: The user is surrounded by a red energy octopus, magenta energy rhinoceros, and orange energy centipede constructs. The animal constructs shatter and the pieces cover the user, forming the armor of Kamen Rider Daimon.
Finisher[]
- Main article: Finisher (Revice)
After transformation, the user activates a finisher by pulling the Vistamp to the side twice.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
The Chimera Driver is voiced by Shingo Fujimori (藤森 慎吾, Fujimori Shingo), who also voiced Chic and the majority of the Vistamps. However, unlike other devices in the series, the voice is distorted, similar to the Proto Vistamps.
Notes[]
- The Chimera Driver is a heavily retooled version of the Revice Driver.
- The DX Chimera Driver specially interacts with the Twin Chimera and Tri Chimera Vistamps in order to produce the various animal finishers. When used in another Driver, these Vistamps will only produce the Twin Chimera Edge/Tri Chimera Edge finisher.
- However, the DX Chimera Driver otherwise functions identically to the Revice Driver. As a result, using any other Vistamps in it will produce the same sounds as the Revice Driver.
- When using the Twin Chimera Vistamp, two of the Chimera Driver's lights glow, referencing the number of animals the Vistamp is based on. The Tri Chimera Vistamp instead causes all three lights to glow. Using any other Vistamp causes one light to glow.
- In addition, Kamen Rider Chimera's transformation announcement says "Chimera" twice, while Kamen Rider Daimon's transformation announcement says "Daimon" three times.
