Hello everyone. I'm Funasen, the CSM developer.

Happy new year!
We hope you will continue to support KAMEN RIDER toys this year.
After all, this year marks the 50th anniversary KAMEN RIDER! BANDAI would like to do lots of fun things with the toys.

This year-end and New Year holidays was a hellish time as I tried to finish up the SENGOKU DRIVER program, but by persevering until the very end, I was able to add the following gimmicks.
Although orders have now closed, I would like to introduce it to you today.



●While SENGOKU DRIVER is waiting for transformation, it is equipped with a gimmick that can simultaneously play the "Arms disappearance sound" when changing arms, and the "Arms separation ⇒ floating and fusing with another arm to transform into Jimber Arms" sound!
We previously introduced in our blog that you can select variations of the "lock-on sound" by pressing the "sound effects button" and "BGM button" simultaneously. We have now added a fun feature to this selection: after the lock-on sound, the arms disappearance sound for the Arms Change will be played over the transformation standby sound.
If you remove the Lockseed you are currently transformed into, make a voice selection, and set and lock on to another Lockseed, you will hear the audio telling you that the Arms you are currently wearing will disappear.
Also, if the Genesis Core is equipped, instead of the sound of the arms disappearing, the sound of the arms separating, floating away, and then fusing with another energy arm will be played over the transformation standby sound.
It will be quite some time before we can actually try this game out, but I hope you will give it a try once you have access to Lemon Energy and other items.

-Kachidoki Lockseed and Extreme Lockseed feature a "first transformation mode"!
In episode 23, he transforms into Kachidoki Arms while falling from the air.
The transformation sound has been perfectly reproduced! If you change the mode selection on the back button to "First Transformation Mode", you can recreate the sequence of the Arms equipping while falling, landing, charging, and the clicking transformation sound.

Additionally, the "first transformation mode" of the Extreme Lockseed reproduces the sound of the transformation that was repeated twice in episode 32: "Big, big, big, big, big Shogun! Big, big, big, big, big Shogun!"
If you also set Kachidoki to "first transformation mode", the LED will light up in sync and Kachidoki will also light up twice.

●17 new weapons are included in the Extreme Lockseed weapon summoning! A total of 33 weapon sounds are played!!!
As stated on the pre-order page, this is a weapon that is not included in the DX version, but it includes the names of weapons that have appeared up until the latest Gaim Gaiden: Gridon vs. Bravo!
Kachidoki Flag, Watermelon Gatling, Lemon Rapier, Maroon Bomber, Kagematsu Makoto, Blood Daidaimaru, Yomimaru, Sword Bringer, Apple Reflector, Blue Silver Staff, Dark Daidaimaru, Savior Arrow, Shine Donkachi, Shine Lichee Sword, Gigadorinoko, Hell's Cane (Silphy's weapon), Melon DJ Gun
By the way, in the DX version, the attack sound of each weapon was played after the weapon name, but this time we have not made these sounds, following the example in the movie.

●By twisting the Extreme Lockseed's weapon summoning key repeatedly, you can have the weapon names read out continuously!
When you twist an Extreme Lockseed, a "rotating sound" will be heard first. If you continue to twist the Extreme Lockseed while that sound is playing, and the spinning sound will continue to play, the weapon name will continue to play in succession for the number of twists after you start and stop twisting.
(The same operation can be performed even if the weapon order is recorded.)

With DX, the sound of the next weapon would play each time you twisted it, so you could skip ahead by twisting it repeatedly, but with this item, if you want to skip ahead, you'll need to press the unlock button.
For details, please see the instructions.

-The Extreme Lockseed includes the "Kouta Resurrection Sound" from MOVIE Wars Full Throttle!
At the end of the Gaim arc of MOVIE War Full Throttle, there is a scene where, before the Megahex attack, Takatora, Mitsuzane, and Mai get their hands on the Extreme Lockseed and open the key, reviving Kouta.
We've included this audio so that you can recreate that memorable scene.
If you change the Extreme Lockseed to "Megahex Battle Mode" and press the unlock button, the sounds that play will start with "Lock open", followed by Kouta's line "I'll never give up!", followed by the "revival sound effect", and finally Kouta saying "From here on, it's my stage."
The scene in the actual version is over 40 seconds long, which is too long and completely exceeds the capacity of the IC, so we recorded a version that is just a little over 20 seconds long.
There are scenes in the middle that include the Megahex attack and the three characters having a conversation, so it feels like those parts were mainly cut and tidied up.

After transforming with the Gridon (Gaim Gaiden ver.) faceplate attached, you can play the dialogue of "Griddon (Takatora ver.)" by pressing the sound effect button!
Although there are only three lines, it is possible to play Takatora's lines in this rare state that appeared in "Gridon vs. Bravo."


There are still many finer points to be noted, but I will stop introducing SENGOKU DRIVER here.
Then, please pick up the product and check it out.
There are many sounds that can only be heard by wearing specific faceplates that will be included in upcoming Lockseed sets, so we will introduce these when the Lockseeds are released.

That's all for today's blog. The next update will be on Tuesday, January 19th.

We will begin accepting pre-orders for the "CSM Lockseed Team Baron Set" on this day, Tuesday, January 19th!



looking forward to!
