This article is about a rider troop in Kamen Rider Gaim. |
Template:Riderinfocomplex The Mecha Kurokages (メカ黒影, Meka Kurokage, lit. "Mecha Black Shadows") are a duo of mechanical soldiers created by the entity Megahex as a recreation of the Yggdrasill Corporation's Armored Rider Kurokage Troopers.
History
During Megahex's invasion of Earth, he produced two Kurokage Trooper clones with data he obtained from Kouta as the Man of the Beginning. Kamen Rider Ryugen opposes him and fights his Kurokages. Managing to defeat them, they are revealed to be mechanical clones. When Mecha Ryoma Sengoku appears, Mitsuzane takes one of the Mecha Kurokages' Sengoku Drivers, giving it to his brother Takatora so he can transform into Kamen Rider Zangetsu and aid him.
Arms
Like with the other Armored Riders, the Mecha Kurokages' forms are called Arms (アームズ, Āmuzu). Their Sengoku Driver plays Japanese horagai music and announces "Soiya" (ソイヤ ) before every transformation, while their personal Lockseeds are styled with a mix of Japanese words and English words.
By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, the Mecha Kurokages can activate one of three finishing moves based on their current Arms form: Squash (スカッシュ, Sukasshu), Au Lait (オーレ, Ōre), or Sparking (スパーキング, Supākingu).
The Ride Wear (ライドウェア, Raido Uēa) is Kurokage's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Kurokage's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when he changes Arms. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider.
Unlike the original Armored Riders, the Mecha Kurokages' Ride Wear isn't identifiable through their Sengoku Driver's Rider Indicator (ライダーインジケーター, Raidā Injikētā) faceplate due to using mass-produced Sengoku Drivers. As a result, the Rider Indicator is blank. However, it can be replaced with extensions such as the Genesis Core or Senyo Joint.

Matsubokkuri Arms (マツボックリアームズ, Matsubokkuri Āmuzu, lit. Pinecone Arms) is Mecha Kurokage's default pinecone-based armored Japanese Ashigaru form. Accessed through the Matsubokkuri Lockseed, this form's Arms Weapon is the Kagematsu, while the helmet Mecha Kurokage wears is the Matsu Kabuto (マツカブト lit. "Pine Helmet") with the Comb Eye (コームアイ, Kōmu Ai) visor.
In this form, Mecha Kurokage's punching power is on par with that of Gaim in Ichigo Arms, and can kick at the same power as Gaim in all of his Arms. He can also jump a tiny bit less, as well as run a bit slower than Gaim in Orange Arms.
