Arms
By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, Knuckle can activate one of three finishing moves based on his current Arms form: Squash, Au Lait, or Sparking.
Knuckle Ride Wear
- Knuckle Ride Wear
- Ride Wear is Knuckle's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Knuckle's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when he changes Arms. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider.
- Unlike the original Armored Riders, Knuckle's Ride Wear isn't identifiable through his Sengoku Driver's Rider Indicator faceplate due to using a mass-produced Sengoku Driver. As a result, the Rider Indicator is blank. However, it can be replaced with extensions such as the Genesis Core or Senyo Joint.
