The is the transformation device used by Kamen Rider Gotchard.
The Gotchardriver would later serve as the basis for the Alchemisdriver and the Valvaradriver. 
==Overview==
This originally unnamed Driver was developed by Fuga Kudo. Glion deemed it to be the key to opening "the Door of Darkness" and attempted to steal his plans. Years later, Fuga Kudo entrusted the Driver to Houtaro Ichinose, who would name it the "Gotchardriver".
The Gotchardriver is equipped with an advanced material transmutation function, and only when the forces are balanced can multiple transmutation of a human and two Chemies be performed. The holder of this Driver will be given the courtesy name "Kamen Rider".https://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/gotchard/rider/item/gotchardriver/
Gigist revealed that the Gotchardriver is transmuted using a supernatural Chemy as its material (which eventually became a part of Houtaro's body after he put on the Driver for the first time), and Gotchard's ability to freely perform transmutation on his own body originates from that Chemy.
==Design==
The Gotchardriver is composed of the following parts:
*: Loading slot for Ride Chemy Cards. The balance mechanism measures the Ride Chemy Cards loaded in each receptacle, and only when the forces are balanced can multiple transmutation of a human and two Chemies be performed. This requires, as a prerequisite, the establishment of a relationship between the transformer and each Chemy.
*: Luminous substitution type alchemy deployment device. By replacing the advanced technique of multiple transmutation with the millions of brilliant colors, the development speed has been increased to the speed of light.
*: The lever-type alchemy activation device. Multiple transmutation starts by opening and closing. By reading the intentions of the person holding it, a variety of operations are possible with a simple action, and the synchronization rate is increased by customizing operation sounds and other features according to the personality of the transformer.
*: Alchemical effect range band. The Gotchardriver is fixed to the waist of the wearer to govern the area of effect of alchemy and preventing the spread of power.
==Functionality==
===Transformation===
Houtaro transforms by inserting a pair of Ride Chemy Cards into the Ride Chemy Card Slots before pulling the Altvoke levers. After doing so, Houtaro is initially covered in black smoke as the Chemies summoned using the Driver augmented itself into Houtaro, thus transforming him into Kamen Rider Gotchard.
Alternatively, when Houtaro transforms directly into Wild Mode, Houtaro is encased in a giant round beaker instead. Then the Chemies summoned using the Driver will enter the beaker and encasing Houtaro whose body will shine bright in the process, transmuting him into Wild Mode. Once Houtaro befriends many Chemy he collected, the transformation process can invoke a variety of forms for Gotchard.
Houtaro can transform into Kamen Rider Gotchard directly as either a humanoid or a strange-looking , and he can transmute between both modes rather freely.https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/gotchard/03/https://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/gotchard/rider/ His initial transformation changed him directly into Wild Mode as he had not yet transmuted the .
===Finisher===
To initiate the finisher, Gotchard presses the Altvoke levers back in before pulling them once more.

Houtaro Ichinose	Kamen Rider Gotchard	Gotcha! Hopper 1!	Houtaro obtained this driver from Fuga Kudo, along with the Hopper1 and Steamliner Ride Chemy Cards after he was taken to the Ouroboros Realm by Steamliner, so that it didn't fall into the hands of Three Dark Sisters. However, the driver was initially unnamed until Houtaro battles against Clotho who transformed into Mantis Malgam.

Note: * - Denotes cards included with the DX Oneness Buckle, exclusive to early shipments of the DX Gotchardriver** - Denotes cards included as part of a limtited time campaign, by purchasing the DX Gotchardriver or a DX Exgotchalibur.
==Notes==
*All of the combinations in the Gotchardriver require the levels on the card to add up to 10. As such, the usage of a level 10 card requires a blank card (level 0) to balance it out, with the exception of Dragonalos and Gaiard combination, and Crosshopper and Tenliner combination.
*For some of the forms, the same voice clip of the form's name is used for both the transformation and finisher announcements.
*The DX Alchemisdriver and Valvaradriver are formed by attaching separately sold Driver Units to the DX Gotchardriver. This method of creating new Drivers was prominent in Kamen Rider Zero-One.
*The Gotchabrothers summoned by Rainbow Gotchard also came equipped with a variant of the Gotchardriver, named Brother Gotchardriver. It appears identical to the original, though it is currently unknown if it functions the same, as the Gotchabrothers have to rely on Rainbow Gotchard to activate their finishers.
**It's been shown to be compatible with adapters like the Exgotchalibur, with Gotchabrothers Steamhopper using it to become Gotchabrothers Super Cross UFOX.
