Icon-driveThis article is about a rider vehicle in Kamen Rider Drive.

The Three-Stage Transforming Tridoron (三段変形 トライドロン, Sandan Henkei Toraidoron, Format Number TRIDORON-3000) is a car which serves as the personal Rider Machine of Kamen Rider Drive, as well as a support mech for combat thanks to the weapons in the front of the car for him to use.

Functionality[]

Like the Shift Cars, it runs on Core Driviars and can bypass time distortions caused by a Roidmude. It also provides Drive with his weapons, the Handle-Ken and Door-Ju, by summoning them from the hollow section of its front portion whenever Shinnosuke calls for them. Mr. Belt can also control it remotely to assist Drive in battle when needed. Tridoron also has an ejector seat, which is done by twisting a yellow-and-black striped pull lever, then pull on it, which will send Drive flying upwards. While in standby mode or just not in battle, Tridoron's hollow section is covered with a Special Investigation Unit insignia.

It was created by Mr. Belt and Rinna after the "death" of Protodrive, with Mr. Belt wanting to have a means to fight beside the warrior he chooses as Drive.

When Drive initiates a Tire Exchange (タイヤ交換, Taiya Kōkan), Tridoron creates the Shift Tire (シフトタイヤ, Shifuto Taiya) by first drawing its left front wheel in, then forming the Shift Tire, and lastly ejecting said Shift Tire by using its left wheel to push it out so that it can attach to Drive.

Similar to Kamen Rider Double and the Revolgarry with the Hardboilder, Drive's current form and Shift Car arsenal can affect Tridoron's armaments via Tire Enhancements (タイヤ増える, Taiya Fueru), which are activated when the Shift Cars are installed into Tridoron's back panel, which allows Tridoron to use the Shift Tires for attacking purposes.

History[]

When Shocker altered the past using the History Modifying Machine, Shinnosuke, formerly a Shocker Rider having been freed of his brainwashing, drove Tridoron to victory in the Rider Grand Prix, with the help of allied Riders and the Ride Booster Set, beating Kamen Rider 3's TriCyclone car and other past brainwashed Kamen Riders in their Rider Machines. Reunited with the NinningersIcon-crosswiki during the final battle against Shocker, Drive was given a special Nin ShurikenIcon-crosswiki by Yoshitaka IgasakiIcon-crosswiki, transforming Tridoron into an OtomoNinIcon-crosswiki which combined with ShurikenjinIcon-crosswiki to become Shurikenjin Tridoron, destroying the Rider Robo. [Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3] When Mr. Belt becomes evil and forces the Type Tridoron transformation, Shinnosuke managed to escape from the form by yanking Mr. Belt off and punching him, which caused Tridoron to be damaged. [Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future]

It was fixed sometime later and after the destruction of Gold Drive and Sigma Circular, it was locked beneath the Drive Pit alongside, Ride Chaser, Ride Macher and all of Drive's arsenals. [Who Will You Entrust the Future to, My Friend?]

Zi-O[]

The Tridoron is one of many Legend Rider Weapons that can be summoned by Kamen Rider Zi-O after assuming GrandZi-O form, it was used in a battle against Another Drive. [2019: Eternal Party]

Forms[]

Like Drive, Tridoron has three alternate modes called Types (タイプ, Taipu) that it can transform into during battle.

Type Speed

Statistics
  • Length: 4.9 m
  • Weight: 1,450 kg
  • Speed: 560 km/h
  • Power: 3000 ps (2206 kw)

Type Speed (タイプスピード, Taipu Supīdo) is Tridoron's default sports car-based mode. This mode debuts in episode 1.

This mode is Tridoron's most balanced form. On the paved roads of the city, it can go the fastest of all the Types, making it suited for high-speed chases or getaways.

In combat, aside from Tire Enhancements, Tridoron can perform the Tridoron Shoot (トライドロンシュート, Toraidoron Shūto) attack, where it fires lasers from the car's built-in cannons on the front.

In episode 19, Tridoron briefly changed into Type Technic to combat the Ride Crosser while in possession of Mashin Chaser by ejecting the cabin portion to strike it with the claws in order to forcibly disengage the combination.

Type Wild
KRDr-Tridoron Wild

Type Wild

"Doron Tridoron: Type Wild!"

Statistics
  • Length: 4.9 m
  • Weight: 1,450 kg
  • Speed: 239km/h
  • Power: 3000 ps (2206 kw)

Type Wild (タイプワイルド, Taipu Wairudo) is Tridoron's dune buggy-based mode. This mode debuts in episode 6.

Just like Drive's transformation into Type Wild, Tridoron is much slower in this mode. But in exchange, it has much more power and maneuverability, bouncing around the battlefield with its buoyant wheels and ramming giant Roidmudes with ease.

In combat, aside from Tire Enhancements, Tridoron can perform the Tridoron Bomber (トライドロンボンバー, Toraidoron Bonbā) attack, where its wheels enlarge in order to allow the buggy to run over an enemy.

Appearances: Drive Episodes 6, 8, Movie War Full Throttle, Drive 11, Super Hero Taisen GP, Drive 40

Type Technic
KRDr-Tridoron Technic

Type Technic

"Doron Tridoron: Type Technic!"

Statistics
  • Length: 4.3 m
  • Weight: 1,450 kg
  • Speed: 219 km/h
  • Power: 3000 ps (2206 kw)

Type Technic (タイプテクニック, Taipu Tekunikku) is Tridoron's garbage truck-based mode. This mode debuts in episode 9.

This transformation is Tridoron's slowest mode. However, it is one of the most versatile like Drive's own Type Technic form, thanks to the claw-like manipulator arms it has, allowing it to directly interact with the surroundings. It is also able to travel up building sides.

In combat, aside from Tire Enhancements, Tridoron can perform the Tridoron Smash (トライドロンスマッシュ, Toraidoron Sumasshu) attack, where its claws allow the truck to cut through enemies with ease.

Appearances: Drive Episodes 9, Movie War Full Throttle, Drive 11

Apart from its primary three modes, Tridoron can assume special modes via certain means that it can't normally use.

Booster Tridoron

    • Type Wild: 390 km/h, 600 km/h (Flight Speed)
  • Power: 3600 ps (2648 kw)

Booster Tridoron (ブースタートライドロン, Būsutā Toraidoron) is a combo form of Tridoron and the Ride Booster Set. This mode debuts in Super Hero Taisen GPIcon-crosswiki before later appearing proper in the series' 27th episode.

In this mode, Tridoron has the Ride Booster Set attached to its back wheels while in Type Speed, granting it various different uses such as flight with Mach and Chaser riding on their respective Ride Boosters if needed. Booster Tridoron can also easily detach one of the Ride Boosters from itself for Mach or Chaser to utilize in aerial combat, though doing so will obviously severely impact its flight capabilities.

Though Type Speed by default, variants of Booster Tridoron according to the other Types are possible as demonstrated by the formation of a Type Wild Booster Tridoron during Drive and Mach's fight against the Tornado Roidmude, as well as a Type Technic Booster Tridoron that is exclusive to only the toyline.

Appearances: Super Hero Taisen GP, Kamen Rider 4: Episode 3, Drive Episodes 27, 28, 34, 40 (Type Wild), 43

Type Fruits

KRDr-Tridoron Fruits

Tridoron Type Fruits

KRDr-Tridoron Fruits Bobber

Tridoron Type Fruits Bobber

When the Shift Fruits Car is inserted into Tridoron, it allows the Tridoron to become the Type Fruits (タイプフルーツ, Taipu Furūtsu) and its wheels assume a sort of fruit shape that resemble orange slices called Type Fruits Bobber (タイプフルーツボバー, Taipu Furūtsu Bobā) and give it flying capabilities. However, it is still primarily just Tridoron Type Speed, so Shinnosuke has to assume Type Speed in order for him to fit comfortably inside.

This mode is the first time someone is riding shotgun with Shinnosuke while he's in Rider form (in this case, Kamen Rider Gaim).

While in this mode, Tridoron uses a form of orange slices as weapons by reverting the wheels back to their normal shape and firing them like it would a Shift Tire. Mr. Belt dubs this maneuver the Fruits Tire Attack (フルーツタイヤアタック, Furūtsu Taiya Atakku).

This form is exclusive to Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle.

Type High Speed

  • Power: 3000 ps (2206 kw)

Type High Speed (タイプハイスピード, Taipu Hai Supīdo) briefly appears when Rinna upgrades Tridoron to upgrade Shift Speed into Shift High Speed. However, it was later revealed that this mode, along with Drive's own Type High Speed form, was just a redecoration and nothing more.

This form is exclusive to Type HIGH SPEED! The True Power! Type High Speed is Born!.

OtomoNin Tridoron
SSN-Tridoron

OtomoNin Tridoron

Tridoron becomes a humanoid mecha known as an OtomoNin (オトモ忍 lit. "Companion Ninja") through the use of the NinningersIcon-crosswiki' Tridoron ShurikenIcon-crosswiki. Incidentally, OtomoNin Tridoron resembles Drive Type Speed from the neckdown.

This form is exclusive to Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3Icon-crosswiki.

Shurikenjin Tridoron
SSN-Shurikenjin Tridoron

Shurikenjin Tridoron

OtomoNin Tridoron combines with ShurikenjinIcon-crosswiki to become Shurikenjin Tridoron (シュリケンジントライドロン, Shurikenjin Toraidoron, lit. "Throwing Star God Tridoron").

In a similar vein to Super Hero Taisen ZIcon-crosswiki when Kamen Rider Wizard was in KyoryuzinIcon-crosswiki, Drive has a special seat for himself while inside Shurikenjin, using the Handle-Ken to help control the mech.

Much like the original Shurikenjin, Shurikenjin Tridoron's main arsenal are the Drago Sword (ドラゴソード, Dorago Sōdo) and Drago Shield (ドラゴシールド, Dorago Shīrudo).

Shurikenjin Tridoron's finisher is Shurikenjin Tridoron Finish (シュリケンジン・トライドロンフィニッシュ, Shurikenjin Toraidoron Finisshu)

This form is exclusive to Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3Icon-crosswiki.

After the development of Shift Tridoron and the repurposing of its original design, Drive can assume Type Tridoron, which requires said car to become parts of his form's armor. All versions of this Type bear a Shift Tire across Drive's left shoulder. During the Tire Blending process, the three Shift Tires being combined first attach to his elbow in a manner similar to Type Formula's Shift Tires. While initiating a Tire Blending, dramatic rock music plays. Like Kamen Rider Mach and his Signal Exchanges, none of Type Tridoron's stats change when Drive performs a Tire Blending.

Rider Statistics
  • Height: 198.5 cm
  • Weight: 108.0 kg
Ability Parameters
  • Punching Power: 18.0 t
  • Kicking Power: 31.0 t
  • Maximum Jump Height: 45.0 m
  • Maximum Running Speed: 100 m per 0.643 seconds

Type Tridoron (タイプトライドロン, Taipu Toraidoron) is Drive's sports car-based evolved form of Type Speed, as well as his ultimate form. Accessed through the Shift Tridoron Car, this form bears the Type Tridoron Tire (タイプトライドロンタイヤ, Taipu Toraidoron Taiya).

In terms of Drive's Types, this form easily outclasses most others. In basic performance specs alone, Type Tridoron's punching power measures 2 tons heavier than Type Formula, with kicking power also measuring 2.4 tons heavier than the aforementioned Type. While Type Formula does maintain superiority in regards to speed and jumping ability, Type Tridoron is capable of comparable super speed combat; being only 0.443 seconds slower than Type Formula (0.523 seconds slower from Type Formula's top speed).

Drive's special ability in this form is being able to initiate a Tire Blending (タイヤかき混ぜる, Taiya Kakimazeru) by turning the Advanced Ignition before he presses the button marked with three tires on Shift Tridoron and then lifts it once, which allows him to combine three Tire Exchange Shift Cars of a particular set into a singular Shift Tire with the unique powers and abilities of the chosen Shift Cars for immediate and simultaneous use. Optionally, Drive can delay combining the Shift Tires by launching them as projectiles to attack his enemies before returning back to complete the Tire Blending process. Drive can also push this ability to the maximum by combining all of his Shift Tires with the Type Tridoron Tire into a single glowing white tire. This, when coupled with Heart increasing his own power to the maximum, is powerful enough to destroy even the Sigma Circular.

Other abilities include advanced energy shielding, which generates a red bubble-like protective area around Drive that is capable of deflecting Over Evolved Roidmude-class energy attacks, and utilizing the smaller tires under his feet as a pair of roller skates.

Type Tridoron Belt Control

Type Tridoron under Mr. Belt's control

Mr. Belt can assume control over Type Tridoron's body when needed. On such ocassions, his face graphics appear on the Dual High Beam Eye (デュアルハイビームアイ, Dyuaru Hai Bīmu Ai) of Drive's Tri-D Met (トライドメット, Torai-Do Metto).

This Type's Full Throttle finisher is the Tridrop (トライドロップ, Toraidoroppu), where Drive focuses power into his right leg, making it glow red as he slams into the enemy with a flying kick.

Type Tridoron's ending theme is entitled "Unlimited Drive".

Tridoron Shuriken

Tridoron Shuriken (トライドロンシュリケン, Toraidoron Shuriken): Transforms Tridoron into an OtomoNinIcon-crosswiki, which can also combine with ShurikenjinIcon-crosswiki to form Shurikenjin Tridoron. This Shuriken is marked with the kanji for "car" (, Kuruma). Used exclusively in Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3Icon-crosswiki, where it is given to Shinnosuke by Yoshitaka IgasakiIcon-crosswiki via the Midnight Shadow Shift Car while watching Shurikenjin fight Rider Robo. This Nin Shuriken more than likely faded out of existence after the timeline was restored.

Drive can utilize Tridoron for one of two Full Throttle finishers.

Speedrop (スピードロップ, Supīdoroppu) is Drive Type Speed and its corresponding Tire Exchange modes' Rider Kick finisher.

Tridoron forming a whirlwind around the enemy while Drive is boosted forward by energy-projected spinning tires, allowing him to rebound off his car so that he can unleash a rapid barrage of kicks to finish off the enemy.

This finisher has two variations:

  • Drive focuses power into his right leg, making it glow red as he slams into the enemy with a flying kick while said opponent is trapped in Tridoron Type Technic's claws. He can also release this version within close range.
  • Drive unleash a rapid barrage of kicks, without energy-projected spinning tires, to separate a Fusion Evolution State Roidmude with it's human host.

  • Trailer Big Impact (トレーラービッグインパクト, Torērā Biggu Inpakuto): While assuming Type Tridoron, Drive inserts a Type Change Shift Car (excluding Shift Formula) into the Shift Landing Slot before loading Shift Tridoron into the Shutter Gate Panel so that he may fire the actual Tridoron at the enemy. Initiating this attack causes Drive to revert to one of his weaker Types depending on which Type Change Shift Car he uses.
    • Shift Speed: This version is strong enough to destroy even a Over Evolved Roidmude while immediately reverting Drive to Type Speed.
    • Shift Wild: This version is used once to try and defeat both Gold Drive and Roidmude 004 while immediately reverting Drive to Type Wild, only to fail as a result of Heart absorbing the shot for them before unleashing a powerful earthquake.

  • Tridoron is based off of the 1992 Honda NSX.
  • Tridoron's name is a homage to Ridoron, the car driven by Kohtaro Minami in Kamen Rider Black RX.
    • The name has another meaning in the context of the series, as "tri" is the prefix for three, and "doron" is a Japanese sound effect for transforming, and Tridoron can transform between three modes.
  • Tridoron is the first OtomoNin not to have the word maru (マル lit. "Circle") placed at the end of the name.
  • Tridoron's speedometer maxes out at 200km/h, despite being capable of going beyond it; Shocker's data banks say that Tridoron's max speed is 560km/h.
  • Type Dead Heat and Type Tridoron are Drive's only in-series forms that he has not driven in Tridoron with.
  • Out of the core three Shift Cars (Max Flare, Midnight Shadow and Funky Spike), Spike is the only one to not be used in a Speedrop Full Throttle.
  • A version of Tridoron based on the color scheme of Kiriko Shijima's uniform named Tridoron Kiriko Patrolling Version (トライドロン霧子パトロール中バージョン, Toraidoron Kiriko Patorōru-chū Bājon) was displayed at Tamashi Nation 2017.
  • One of the Tridoron vehicles used in the production of the show is now a permanent display exhibit for tourists at the Ishinomori Manga Museum.[2]
