The is the transformation device of Kamen Rider Evol and Kamen Rider MadRogue.
==Overview==
The Evol-Driver is the precursor to the entire Project Build series, serving as the main basis for the Build Driver and its later upgrades. According to Shinobi Katsuragi's notes, the Evol-Driver is powered using Evolto's energy and Nebula Gas.
A Hazard Level of 5 is a required prerequisite to be able to use the Evol-Driver, which is impossible for humans to obtain through conventional means. Users of the Evol-Driver are able to manipulate the power of the Pandora Box and control the universe.http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/File:Evol-Driver-Notes-2.jpg .
The Evol-Driver utilizes a special variant of Fullbottles known as , though regular Fullbottles do work in it as well. 
===Transformation===
Both Evol and MadRogue insert two Fullbottles into the Driver and crank the EV-Lever. Unlike Build and MadRogue who both use two paired Fullbottles, Evol accesses his forms with the Rider Evolbottle as a constant, and with a different Evolbottle each time. The Evol-Driver is still capable of using normal Fullbottles to transform into a Rider form in the same way as the Build Driver, and also recognizes Best Matches, as seen with Kamen Rider MadRogue transforming using the Bat and Engine Fullbottles.
It is unknown why the forms accessed with the Evol-Driver do not utilize Halfbodies in their construction. While Evol, using Evolbottles, features the diagonal undersuit of Halfbodies, MadRogue does not. The transformations differ from the Build Driver as well, as Evol still shows a similar construct to the Snap Ride Builder, while MadRogue's appears as an interconnected mass of tubing.
==History==
The origin of Evolto's original Evol-Driver is unknown, but it was damaged when Evolto decimated Mars using the Pandora Box. However, when Soichi Isurugi first discovered the box, Evolto managed to possess him and used his body to unearth the Evol-Driver and brought it along with the box to Earth. When Shinobu Katsuragi was contacted by Evolto, he repaired it and studied it along with Evolto himself. His son, Takumi Katsuragi, eventually hid it away from Evolto, recognizing Evolto's destructive goals. Much later, Evolto bargained with Sento Kiryu to find it in exchange for Taizan Himuro's life. Sento discovered Shinobu's hidden research and recognized the Evol-Driver as the power source for the Fullbottle-purifying device that he built, retrieving it and reassembling it. With the help of Gentoku Himuro, Sento and the other Riders planned to save Taizan without giving the Evol-Driver to Evolto, but Nariaki Utsumi managed to steal it out of Misora Isurugi's hands and threw it to Evolto.
==Design==
The Evol-Driver consists of the following parts:The Final Weapon: Evol
* - The circular power generator that utilises explosive force to amplify Evolto's energy and generate additional energy as needed. In order for it to properly work, the user must have a minimum Hazard Level of 5.
* A special unit within the Evol version of the Evol-Driver that allows Evolto to manipulate and control the power of the Pandora Box.
* A special unit within the MadRogue version of the Evol-Driver that generates a microbody called the that alters the body of the user so they can transform into MadRogue.
* - The crank. It is connected to the Evolution Charger, and therefore needs to be turned to operate the Driver.
* - A device responsible for creating the for transformation into Kamen Rider Evol's main forms. When the the Evol Trigger is attached to the Evol Driver, it creates the for transformation into Black Hole Form. Utsumi's Evol Driver instead creates the for transformation into MadRogue. According to Shinobi Katsuragi's notes, the substances used for this process is unknown.
* - The outer casing. It utilizes "extraterrestrial materials" that can withstand extreme temperature changes to protect the Evol-Driver's internal mechanisms.
* - The slots that Evolbottles/Fullbottles are inserted into for transformation/weapon summoning. According to Shinobi Katsuragi's notes, one of the EV-Bottle Slots was broken when the Driver was discovered, so a new one had to be made using terrestrial materials.
* - A slot located above the Evolution Charger. Its main function is to allow the Evol-Trigger to slot into the Evol-Driver.
==Finishers==
While transformed, Evol/MadRogue initiates a finishing move by turning the Vortex Lever.
==Users (chronological order)==
User 	Kamen Rider 	Episode Obtained 	Description
Evolto/Soichi Isurugi/Ryuga Banjo/Sento Kiryu	Kamen Rider Evol 	The Final Weapon: Evol	Evolto's Evol Driver was originally found by Soichi Isurugi on Mars near the Pandora Box. Once he arrived on Earth, Shinobu Katsuragi was asked by Evolto to restore it. After that, Takumi Katsuragi disassembled it into several parts, and Sento Kiryu incorporated it into Misora's conversion device as a power unit. The Evol Driver was reassembled by Sento after holding Taizan Himuro hostage. Once Evolto retrieved the belt, this allowed him to transform into Kamen Rider Evol.
Nariaki Utsumi 	Kamen Rider MadRogue	Mad World 	Evolto made a second Evol Driver and offered it to Utsumi, under the condition that he join Evolto's cause. Although he initially refused, after Evolto kills Namba and the Washio Brothers, Utsumi went insane and pledged his loyalty to Evolto. Evolto then gave the Evol Driver to Utsumi, who used it with the Bat and Engine Fullbottles to become Kamen Rider MadRogue. According to Evolto, his belt was adjusted so that it can be used for human use.
After regaining his memories in the New World, Sento had prepared a recreated Evol-Driver for Utsumi to transform into Kamen Rider MadRogue once again to help Sento Kiryu fight Down Fall.

The voice of Evol-Driver was provided by , who voiced Evolto/Blood Stalk in the series.
==Notes==
*The Evol-Driver's level cranking music is a modified version of the beginning to Ode to Joy, the symphony previously used in the opening scene of episode 29.
*The Evol-Driver is similar to the White Wizard Driver, the first upgrade-type Driver to possess the same core aspects as its base:
**Uses the same type of trinkets to transform.
**Most of the older trinkets have different announcements with the new Driver.
**Used primarily by an antagonist that pretended to be an ally.
**Produces more power than its base due to the background of the wielder.
**Ending announcements for transformations and finishers reference the background of the user.
*Like the Mach Driver Honoh, the Evol Driver announces most of the inserted Fullbottles in the opposite language as the Build Driver counterpart, so that if the Bottle name in the Build Driver is in Japanese, the Evol-Driver will announce it in English and vice versa.

*However, it is unknown why there are certain Fullbottles (i.e. Tank, Tantei, USB Memory, etc.) that do not follow this trend.
**Some of them, specifically Tank, Lock, and the currently unreleased Kyoryu Fullbottle, trigger new transformation announcements for Evol when paired with the Rider Evolbottle. This could mean the release of future Evolbottles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiYCDHD252U&t=0s
**Sounds for the F1, Gold, Scorpion, Kangaroo, Ichigou, Kuuga-OOO, Showa Rider and Heisei Rider Fullbottles are not included in the Evol-Driver.
**If the Super Sentai Fullbottle is inserted alongside the Rider System Evolbottle, it will announce Evol-Match instead of either Evolution or Creation. This is due to the Rider System Evolbottle sharing its pin with the Kamen Rider Fullbottle and said bottle has Best Match with the Super Sentai Fullbottle.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMSNcsSMv2E
