Gatack Zecter

The Gatack Zecter (ガタックゼクター, Gatakku Zekutā) allows Arata Kagami to transform into Kamen Rider Gatack. As with all of the Zecters, Gatack has two basic forms that he can transform into: Masked Form and Rider Form. Kagami's Zecter has a higher-pitched voice than the other Zecters.

By placing the Gatack Zecter onto the Rider Belt, Kagami transforms into Kamen Rider Gatack in Masked Form before he turns the "horns" on the Gatack Zecter 180 degrees to initiate the Cast Off (キャストオフ, Kyasuto Ofu) command in order to assume the sleeker Rider Form. Pressing the oval button on its "abdomen" three times and returning the horns to their original position allows Kagami to charge his attack until he turns its horns once again to initiate the Rider Kick (ライダーキック, Raidā Kikku). Turning the horns back to their original position without three presses of the abdomen button initiates the Put On (プットオン, Putto On) command.

Behind the scenes

Portrayal

As with all the Zecters, the Gatack Zecter's voice is provided by Surage Gajria (スラージ・ガジリア, Surāji Gajiria). When given a personality in Kamen Rider Kabuto: Birth! Gatack Hyper Form!!, the Gatack Zecter is voiced by Kōji Yusa (遊佐 浩二, Yusa Kōji), who would later go on to voice Urataros in Kamen Rider Den-O.

Notes

• The Gatack Zecter was the first Zecter to have a unique voice compared to the others, being much higher in pitch. The only other Zecter to share this unique voice is the Punch side of the Hopper Zecter.
  • Oddly, the Gatack Zecter's unique voice was not kept in Kamen Rider Decade, having the same voice as the Kabuto, TheBee, Drake, and Sasword Zecters.
