Kamen Rider Fourze: SWITCH ON!

The Countdown is on! When OOO is about to End, successor will continue the legacy of Kamen Rider and rocketing it to a whole new level of SWITCHES! So, READ ON for the latest details and info of KAMEN RIDER FOURZE!
Previously, I had posted on the synopsis and several additional infos on Fourze. Now, we had more added up to filled up some questionable informations given from the previous post.
 As we all know, Kamen Rider Fourze's human identity is a friendly bad-boy looking second year highschooler, Kisaragi Gentaro.
Gentaro utilizes the belt, Fourze Driver to transform into the titular hero, Kamen Rider FOURZE. The belt was given to him by his fellow Kamen Rider Club member and friend, Kengo Utahoshi. After Gentaro inserts four Astro Switches into 4 different switch slots, called SWITCH SOCKETs, and the ENTER LEVER on the side is pressed, there he will shout the never unforgettable transformation call, "HENSHIN!" and transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze.
Like 2 of his previous predecessors namely Double/W and OOO, he is able to used multiple combination abilities depending on what Astro Switch he has in the Fourze Driver, enabling him to the modules on his arms and legs.
Depending on the combination of the Astro Switch, Fourze can transforms into different forms that is known as STATES. His default form is called the Base States. His finisher is called the Rocket Drill Kick which utilizes the Rocket Module and Drill Module simultaneously.
On the other hand, Astro Switches are mysterious devices which are the source of Kamen Rider Fourze's power. They are able to harness an energy called COSMIC ENERGY which can materialized armaments called MODULES. There are 40 known modules in total, corresponding to the attachment ports on Kamen Rider Fourze's limbs.
Here are the first 5 Astro Switches that will be introduced on the start of the series.
  1. Rocket Switch enables Fourze to utilize the Rocket Module on his right arm. The exhaust thrusters powers up his punches.
  2. Launcher Switch armed Fourze with the Launcher Module on his right leg. It allows him to launch a series of 5 missiles on the enemy.
  3. Drill Switch enable Fourze to utilize the Drill Module on his left leg. The Drill can spin at the speed of 200RPM, fast enough to destroy an enemy and pierce the ground.
  4. Rader Switch armed Fourze with the Rader Module on the left arm. The Rader module is able to reflect a certain energy waves. It also can be used as other Modules homing capabilities.
  5. Magichand Switch enable Fourze to used the Magichand Module, a manipulator arm extension that extent up to 10meters and pick up heavy things with the End Effect Pinch claw.
 The monsters in the series will be called as Zodiarts. Zodiarts are the result of human using Zodiart Switches that granted them undescribeable cosmic powers. These Zodiart switches were given by a mysterious Red-eyed man.

In addition to this post, here are a bunch of image sets during the shoot of Kamen Rider Fourze as well as his cameo in Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: Shogun and the 21 Core medals.
