The Driving Scale Smoke Pistol Nebulasteam Gun (駆鱗煙銃 ネビュラスチームガン, Kuroko Enjū Nebyura Suchīmu Gan) is the transformation device and personal weapon of the Kaisers. It also serves as the weapon of Kamen Rider Rogue and Kamen Rider MadRogue.
Overview
The Nebulasteam Gun is the core of Kaiser System (カイザーシステム, Kaizā Shisutemu), developed as a biological weapon by Kaisei Mogami while working at Namba Heavy Industries Ltd.. It combines Nebula Gas with the Bugster Virus that Kaisei had discovered. Takumi Katsuragi, who was Mogami's assistant at the time, creates the Transteam Gun as a simplied version of the Nebulasteam Gun that did not incorporate the Bugster Virus.[1]. Nariaki Utsumi would eventually create his own version of the Kaiser System.
Components
The Nebulasteam Gun is composed of the following parts: [2]
- Gear Bottle Slot (ギアボトルスロット, Gia Botoru Surotto): The slot used when transforming or activating a finishing move. It activates the ingredients inside the loaded Gear or Fullbottle with a special pulse and absorbs them into the Nebulasteam Gun.
- Mystic Charger (ミスティックチャージャー, Misutikku Chājā): A steam generating unit installed in the Nebulasteam Gun. It heats the ingredients used as the material suits and armor, transforming it into a special steam called Transgel Steam (トランジェルスチーム, Toranjeru Suchīmu). An internal tank also stores Nebula Gas.
- Blazing Steamer (ブレイジングスチーマー, Bureijingu Suchīmā): The muzzle of the Nebulasteam Gun. It can fire heat-hardened bullets wrapped in steam called Steam Burettes (スチームビュレット, Suchīmu Byuretto). It is also responsible for transforming the ejected Transgel Steam into armaments with a special pulse and equipping them to the user.
- Funky Trigger (ファンキートリガー, Fankī Torigā): The trigger used during transformation and shooting attacks. After Gear Remocon or Gear Engine into the Full Bottle slot, pulling the trigger will activate each unit, allowing transformation and finishing moves to be performed.
- Power Hit Grip (パワーヒットグリップ, Pawā Hitto Gurippu): The grip of the Nebulasteam Gun. It is made of sturdy parts with excellent impact resistance and can be used for striking attacks. It also learns the user's fighting style and optimizes behavior when firing.
Functionality
Transformation
To transform into a Kaiser, the user loads a Gear into the Nebulasteam Gun and pulls the trigger. Transgel Steam is fired from the Nebulasteam Gun and engulfs the user and forms the suit as gears appear in the air. The gears attach to the suit, completing the transformation.
Kaisei Mogami and his counterpart say "Kaiser" (カイザー, Kaizā) before transforming. To fuse into Bikaiser, they simply transform at the same time after saying "Bikaiser" (バイカイザー, Baikaizā).
Remocon Bro's and Engine Bro's instead say "Jundou" (潤動, Jundō, transl. "Lubricate") before transforming. In order to transform into Hell Bro's, the user inserts both Gears consecutively before pulling the trigger. The transformation call is the same in this case.
Finishers
The Nebulasteam Gun's standard finisher is the Funky Drive (ファンキードライブ, Fankī Doraibu). This finisher for Bikaiser/Hell Bro's is the Funky Finish (ファンキーフィニッシュ, Fankī Finisshu). Using the Crocodile Crack Fullbottle will activate the Funky Break (ファンキーブレイク, Fankī Bureiku), while any other Fullbottle activates a Funky Attack (ファンキーアタック, Fankī Atakku).
The Nebulasteam Gun can be combined with the Steam Blade to access its Rifle Mode (ライフルモード, Raifuru Mōdo), the finisher of which is the Funky Shot (ファンキーショット, Fankī Shotto).
- Gear Engine: Kaiser Reverse fires a large blast of red energy surrounded by several energy gears, then performs a roundhouse kick that leaves behind a trail of red energy.
- Gear Remocon: Kaiser fires a blast of blue energy surrounded by several energy gears at the enemy.
- Gear Remocon: This finisher has two variations:
- Remocon Bro's produces a large cyan energy gear from his hand, which fires fires a smaller cyan energy gear at the enemy. This attack can be combined with a silver gear-like energy slash from the Steam Blade of Engine Bro's.
- Clone Hell Bro's disappears before reappearing behind the enemy and firing cyan and white energy gears.
Funky Break (ファンキーブレイク, Fankī Bureiku): Rogue charges the Nebulasteam Gun with purple electricity while purple energy constructs of broken debris surrounds it and converges in front of the barrel. He fires a construct of Cruncher Fang in a purple explosion, with the Cruncher Fang ramming the enemy into the environment.
- Phoenix: Rogue transforms into a phoenix made of fire, giving him temporary flight abilities. He can also bring other people with him.
- Cobra Fullbottle: Clone Hell Bro's fires an energy construct of cobra followed by cyan, white, and blue energy gears. The cobra first attacks the enemy by itself before it and the gears attack together.
- Gear Engine: Engine Bro's fires a silver engine-like energy drill orange energy construct surrounded by orange energy and swirling blue energy.
- Elek Steam: A ball blue and orange energy in front of the Nebulasteam Rifle's barrel before forming a silver engine-like energy drill that Remocon Bro's fires at the enemy.
- Crocodile Crack: Rogue fires a purple energy construct of the Cruncher Fang that bites down on multiple enemies.
- Bat: Remocon Bro's fires a blast of purple and yellow energy that leaves behind purple sonar-like waves.

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
The Nebulasteam Gun is voiced by KORBY, who also voiced the Build Driver.
Notes
- The Kuroko (駆鱗) part of the Nebulasteam Gun's full name is formed by combining the pronunciations of 駆 (Ku) and 鱗 (Uroko).
- It also a pun on the word Crocodile, referencing the weapon's user, Kamen Rider Rogue.
- Nebulasteam Gun will announce "Lost Match" upon utilizing certain Fullbottles, likely to communicate that these Fullbottles have no Best Matches for them.
- Most of these Fullbottles are later revealed to be connected to the Lost Fullbottles under Evolto's possession.
- Due to sharing its pin combination, the Engine Fullbottle will be read as the Gear Engine if inserted on the DX Nebulasteam Gun.
- The two Gears form Best Matches with the two Fullbottles used by Gentoku Himuro, Bat and Crocodile.
- Unlike the Transteam Gun which has both full-size & smaller prop in the show, Nebulasteam Gun only has full-size one. DX version, however, is still smaller like DX Transteam Gun.
