Rider Models

This article is about an object in Kamen Rider Zero-One.

Rider Models (ライダーモデル, Raidāmoderu) are manifestations of the animal data contained within Progrisekeys. They are primarily used for transformation into a Kamen Rider, but can be summoned in certain other cases. Similarly, Lost Models (ロストモデル, Rosuto Moderu) are manifestations of the extinct animal data contained within Zetsumerisekeys.

Unlike other transformation devices, the A.I.M.S. Shotriser does not incorporate Rider Models in its transformation process. The exceptions to this are the Assault Wolf and Rampage Gatling Progrisekeys, both of which were created using the data of several standard Progrisekeys and later the Japanese Wolf Zetsumerisekey with powers and abilities from all forms of Vulcan and Naki. The MetsubouJinrai Forceriser and ZAIA Thousandriver summon completely silver versions of the Rider Models.

The Shining Assault Hopper Rider Model manifests as a robot grasshopper that mechanically converts into a set of armor for Zero-One while remaining as one piece, rather than separating into several parts that are converted into DNA strands before being reconstructed on his under suit like a standard Rider Model. The MetalCluster Hopper Rider Model is constructed from hundreds of small mechanical grasshoppers named Cluster Cells (クラスターセル, Kurasutā Seru), which separate and form armor around Zero-One's under suit. Cluster Cells are also used by the Progrise Hopper Blade to form constructs for enhancing its attacks.

When Satellite There was destroyed by Ikazuchi and Subaru, Aruto lost the ability to use any forms that required Rider models summoned by There. This was resolved by using either the Hiden Zero-Two Driver or the reconstructed Zero-One Driver, which do not require There for transformation.

Notes

• Unlike all other Rider Models, the Hopping Kangaroo Rider Model appears as a drawing of a kangaroo when manifested for transformation.
• Despite being used by Kamen Rider Ikazuchi and Kamen Rider Naki respectively to transform, the Dodo and Japanese Wolf Zetsumerisekeys are the only Zetsumerisekeys that do not summon a Lost Model.
  • Interestingly, the Japanese Wolf Zetsumerisekey summons a Lost Model when used in the Shotriser.
• The Rushing Cheetah, Lightning Hornet, Punching Kong, and Breaking Mammoth Rider Models, as well as the normal version of the Sting Scorpion Rider Model, appear exclusively through the Rampage Gatling Progrisekey.
  • Although Breaking Mammoth is used by Zero-One, the Breaking Mammoth Rider Model doesn't appear during his transformation due to piloting Breaking Mammoth instead of fusing with a Rider Model.
• Unlike every other Rider Model, the Triceratops and Carnotaurus Lost Models appear as only the heads of their respective animals.
