- "Time Mazine!"
- ―Summoning announcement[src]
Time Mazines (タイムマジーン, Taimu Majīn) are mecha-based robots capable of time travel. They can transform from between a flying Vehicle Mode (ビークルモード, Bīkuru Mōdo) and a robotic Battle Mode (バトルモード, Batoru Mōdo)[1].
They are the means of time travel for Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Geiz, as well as special models being used by the Resistance and the Time Jackers.
History[]
The Time Mazines were created sometime in the future by the year 2050. Michal Minato owns an early model of one, which he uses to travel to 2011 and help Eiji Hino defeat Foundation X.
However with the rise of Ohma Zi-O, the Resistance has mass-produced them in their war against the evil tyrant. Geiz uses his personal Time Mazine to goes back to the year 2018 to kill Sougo Tokiwa before he became Ohma Zi-O. Later, Tsukuyomi brings her own Time Mazine to rescue Sougo.
Both Ora and Heure each have their own Time Mazines.
Because of Geiz and Tsukuyomi’s actions in 2018 and going into mid-2019, it caused a temporal crisis in the original timeline of 2050 where Michal resided. He used his Time Mazine and headed to 2019 himself and convince Geiz and Tsukuyomi to return to their time in order to prevent the temporal flow of time from being fractured more however this action became pointless when Sougo reset and altered the timeline.
Design[]
Specs
- Height: 7.28 Meters
- Weight: 52 t
- Maximum speed: 722.3 km/h (on land) Incalculable in the time stream.
Vehicle Mode[]
- TM Generation Sonar (TMジェネレーショナー) - A navigation management module of the Time Mazine. Uses highly sophisticated sensors to judge and calculate an accurate trajectory of where in time and space the vehicle is to enter and exit the time stream safely.
- Advanced Generator (アドヴァンスドジェネレーター) - The vehicle's power unit. In addition to generating power for the functions of the Time Mazine, the generator opens Intrusion Gate portals to enter and exit space-time by emitting spatial distortion waves during temporal movement that allows it to connect to different time periods.
- Steam Grasper (ストリームグラスパー) - The anti-gravity stabilizer units. The Steam Grasper generates an anti-gravity warp field around the entire vehicle to allow time travel as well as flight mobility. In Battle Mode, these units convert into the arms of the robot. Under the influence of certain Ridewatches, the Steam Grasper can generate weapons based on the associated Rider's powers.
- Boost Legger (ブーストレッガー) - Primary thrusters of the Time Mazine. Generates tremendous propulsive power by harnessing energy channeled from the Advanced Generator core unit and boosters. This allows the vehicle to travel at sub-light speeds in the Generational Way. In Battle Mode, the units convert into the Time Mazine's legs equipped with high power hydraulics.
Battle Mode[]
- Cylindrical Cockpit (シリンドリカルコックピット) - The central control room. All operating functions are centered in this area, with the Battle Mode operated by control grip levers manipulated by the pilot or pilots.
- Indication Head (インジケーションヘッド) - The head of the Time Mazine's Battle Mode. A face module emulating Zi-O or Geiz's Ridewatches, it materializes when the formation is complete and acts as a complex sensory unit, allowing its pilot to see what is outside while operating the Battle Mode. When a Rider activates an alternate Ridewatch, the Indication Head will alter itself to match, either adding additional weaponry/extensions to different parts of the Battle Mode's frame, or augment the combat abilities based on the Rider.

Various models and forms of Time Mazines are used by time travelers, including specific models being augmented by Ridewatches.

Appearances: Zi-O Episodes 44Notes[]
- The name "Mazine" is "Time Machine" with a "Z", but also is a wordplay pun on "Majin", which means "Devil".
- As with the spelling scheme of Zi-O, Geiz, and Woz, the word "robo" is written on their respective Time Mazines.
- With Zi-O and Woz's Mazine, it is written in Katakana, "Robo" (ロボ).
- With Geiz's Mazine, it is written in Hiragana "Robo" (ろぼ).
- The appearance of the head is designed to emulate a Ridewatch brings to mind the formation of the Toride Vendor from Kamen Rider OOO.
- A more apt comparison, design-wise, would be the previous season's Machine Builder, being it incorporates the transformation trinket's appearance in its machine mode.
- Its ability to assume a humanoid form is reminiscent of the Auto Vajin's battle mode.
- The Time Mazine is the first instance where the secondary vehicle of a Rider is not based on any known vehicle of this era. It is based on the concept of futuristic flying/hover vehicles popularized in science fiction.
- Examples of non-vehicular modes can be overlooked, as they either take on traits of living creatures, or existed separately as their own lifeform, and take recognizable vehicular modes.
- The use of the transformation trinket to enhance its capabilities is similar to Tridoron's use of the Shift Cars to either enhance it or change its appearance.
- While the Time Jackers' Time Mazines are based on Legend Rider Mecha, it's unknown if they are the same Mecha (but from the future they come from) or not.
- As seen throughout their appearances, Time Mazines' head design depends on the user.
- Corresponding Ridewatch related to the Rider pilot (like Zi-O, Geiz, Woz Ridewatches)
- Any Ridewatch when activated by the Pilot
- White-colored head for non-Rider pilots (Eg. Tsukuyomi)
- The corresponding Ridewatch of a Legend Rider pilot (Eg. Build)
- However, these features are only available in Mazines from 2068, as Aqua's Mazine from 2050 lacked it.
- The 3D models for OOO Mode, Tajadol Combo Mode, and Woz Mode have their Ridewatches' respective Wake Bezels' arrows pointed toward the wrong direction.
- The DX Zi-O and Geiz Ridewatches have a "Time Mazine" announcement when the dial is pressed a third time.
- Zi-O's and Geiz's Time Mazine's ability to augment themselves with the Ridewatches of their respective pilots makes them similar to Kaizoku Gattai GokaiOh from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger where it can augment itself with the powers of a past Sentai Team with a Ranger Key(s) of that specific team.
- There is a difference between the augmentations of the Time Mazine's and GokaiOh.
- The Time Mazine's replace the head based on the personal Ridewatch of its respective pilot with a head based on a Ridewatch of a Legend Rider activated by it's respective pilot.
- When any of the Gokaiger insert a Ranger Key into their Steering Wheel it summons a Mecha based on the Sentai Team Power they are using which can attach to GokaiOh either inserting into the slots on its body or replacing a specific part on GokaiOh or giving GokaiOh the same powers as the Sentai Team they are using.
- There is a difference between the augmentations of the Time Mazine's and GokaiOh.
- In an interview, designer Hideki Tajima explained that the Time Mazine's cockpit was inspired by the movies Pacific Rim and Ready Player One.
