Also, it is possible to remote control by itself in a short time.

  • Batta Springers (バッタスプリンガー, Batta Supuringā, lit. 'Grasshopper Springers'): Grey sections resembling grasshopper legs attached to Zi-O OOOArmor's waist, upper and lower legs. It is a device set that vastly increases jumping power, and is able to achieve this by utilizing highly elastic Resilin Rubber (レジリンラバー, Rejirin Rabā) in its construction. It absorbs and diverts impact shocks when jumping, allowing the user to continually jump without discomfort.
  • Batta Leg Plates (バッタレッグプレート, Batta Reggu Purēto, lit. 'Grasshopper Leg Plates'): OOOArmor's leg plates. It improves leaping capabilities by utilizing servomechanisms to enhance jumping force.

This form's finisher is the Scanning Time Break (スキャニングタイムブレーク, Sukyaningu Taimu Burēku): Zi-O performs a variation of OOO's Tatoba Kick, leaps to the air as three giant medal-like projections (In which the medals have "Taka" (タカ), "Tora" (トラ), and "Batta" (バッタ) written on them) appear in front of him.

  • Maximum Breaster (マキシマムブレスター, Makishimamu Buresutā): The chest plate. It contains a central circuit that allows Zi-O to utilize Kamen Rider Double's abilities, such as high fighting ability and wind-like agility.
  • Gaia Memory Shoulders (ガイアメモリショルダー, Gaia Memori Shorudā): The shoulders. They resemble Gaia Memories. The green Right Cyclone (ライトサイクロン, Raito Saikuron) shoulder can control surrounding winds by changing the local barometric pressure, while the dark purple Left Joker (レフトジョーカー, Refuto Jōkā) shoulder has the ability to raise the user's movement ability. On top of all these abilities, the Gaia Memory Shoulders can detach from the main body during deathblows, with each shoulder becoming an autonomous humanoid entity called Memory Droids (メモリドロイド, Memori Doroido).
    • Cyclone Stabiplate (サイクロンスタビプレート, Saikuron Sutabipurēto): The green attitude control device hanging down from the Right Cyclone shoulder. It stabilizes the whole body's posture when in midair or in strong gusts of wind.
    • Joker Stabiplate (ジョーカースタビプレート, Jōkā Sutabipurēto): The dark purple attitude control device hanging down from the Left Joker shoulder. It stabilizes the whole body's posture during combat.

This form's finisher is the Maximum Time Break (マキシマムタイムブレーク, Makishimamu Taimu Burēku): Zi-O performs a variation of Double's Joker Extreme, with the Rider Armor assuming humanoid forms representing Double's halves, with all three converging on the target in a rider kick similar to the Triple Extreme.
