The Tridoron, 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.
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, Tridoron creates the Shift Tire 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.
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 Ninningers during the final battle against Shocker, Drive was given a special Nin Shuriken by Yoshitaka Igasaki, transforming Tridoron into an OtomoNin which combined with Shurikenjin 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.

Forms
Types
Like Drive, Tridoron has three alternate modes called Types that it can transform into during battle.
Type Speed
- Type Speed
- Doron Tridoron: Type Speed! ― Transformation announcement via Drive Driver
- Length : 4.9m
- Weight : 1450kg
- Hp : 3000ps (2206kw)
- Maximum speed : 560km/h
- Type Speed 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 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
- Type Wild
- Doron Tridoron: Type Wild! ― Transformation announcement via Drive Driver
- Length : 4.9m
- Weight : 1450kg
- Hp : 3000ps (2206kw)
- Maximum speed : 239km/h
- Appearances : Episodes 6, 8, Movie War Full Throttle, 11, Super Hero Taisen GP, 40
- Type Wild 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 attack, where its wheels enlarge in order to allow the buggy to run over an enemy.
Type Technic
- Type Technic
- Doron Tridoron: Type Technic! ― Transformation announcement via Drive Driver
- Length: 4.3m
- Weight : 1450kg
- Hp : 3000ps (2206kw)
- Maximum speed : 219km/h
- Appearances : Episodes 9, Movie War Full Throttle, 11
- Type Technic 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 attack, where its claws allow the truck to cut through enemies with ease.
Other Modes
Apart from its primary three modes, Tridoron can assume special modes via certain means that it can't normally use.
Booster Tridoron
- Booster Tridoron
- Appearances : Super Hero Taisen GP, Kamen Rider 4: Episode 3, Episodes 27, 28, 34, 40 (Type Wild), 43
- Booster Tridoron is a combo form of Tridoron and the Ride Booster Set. This mode debuts in Super Hero Taisen GP 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.
- Fruits Mode
- Appeareance : Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle.
- When the Type Fruits Shift Car is inserted into Tridoron, it allows the wheels to assume a sort of fruit shape that resemble orange slices 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.
Type High Speed
- Type High Speed
- Appeareance : Type HIGH SPEED! The True Power! Type High Speed is Born!.
- Type High Speed 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.
- OtomoNin Tridoron
- Appeareance : Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3
- Tridoron becomes a humanoid mecha known as an OtomoNin ("Companion Ninja") through the use of the Ninningers' Tridoron Shuriken. Incidentally, OtomoNin Tridoron resembles Drive Type Speed from the neckdown.
- Shurikenjin Tridoron
- Appeareance : Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3
- OtomoNin Tridoron combines with ShurikenjinIcon-crosswiki to become Shurikenjin Tridoron ("Throwing Star God Tridoron"). In a similar vein to Super Hero Taisen Z when Kamen Rider Wizard was in Kyoryuzin, 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 and Drago Shield. Shurikenjin Tridoron's finisher is Shurikenjin Tridoron Finish.
Drive
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.
