The maindeck and Spell look good. Really optimized for swarming and Rank4 plays, and the bonus effect when they are attached to Dragon Xyzs add some flavor, making the more spiced than, let's say, tellarknights.

It's the Xyzs who are the problem, though. The Rank4 is a less potent Drident by effect but with solid stats, but it can Xyz evolve into the Rank8, a better Drident. As if that wasn't enough, the new Xyz can further evolve into a field nuke on demand if you, let's say, use3 materials for the Rank4, attach 1 more through its effect, then evolve into the Rank8 then into this. Admittedly, it needs the extra steps but once you do it's undeniably such a power play. 5000 ATK is a lot for a card that can be accessed through such manner, too.

I do like that the Rank8 is relatively splashable. Rank8 decks may be able to access it by overlaying the Galaxy Dragon monsters.

True though in comparison to drident this card with its Xyz Materials don't have things like Whiptail which could swiftly attach itself onto the Drident which then allowed it to banish a card it battled while also destroying another card on the field in addition to other monsters stacking with it for both multiple abilities such as effect negation and stacking up to a large attack in a instant, while with Driver its fixed at 3000 ATK with its materials granting it either life gain from Motor Helm, damage from Blast Cylindra or ATK gain from Ignition Wyvern where it sure it can destroy a couple of cards and deals some hefty damage but doesn't completely lock down your opponents plays like Drident could with its Xyz Materials.

In addition Roar was also designed to act as a balance to the Xyz were you can remove the materials to counter cards but also then stops you from advance further up to Destroyer unless you go with the Rank-Up-Magic as these Xyz can go and expend a lot of Xyz Materials quickly where Driver can spend up to 3 in a turn for destroying 2 cards and boosting its ATK by 1000 during a turn.

In a vacuum the Rank4~8 are still a Drident. Indeed, Drident got support from its archetype as well as Beast-Warrior support, but at the same time these get Dragon support, and the type got plenty of it, including a Rokket engine (Level4 Rokkets + Quick Launch), the relatively recent Guadragons and maybe Wyverbuster/Collapserpent, which most likely would do wonders for them.

You bring up Roar but funnily enough I wouldn't rely too much on it. I would rather keep the materials on the Xyzs to maintain suppression. If anything, I would run it as a 1-of when going first for Ignition Wyvern to grab it if I drew into the right cards to get a 3-material Charger Dragon. I wouldn't rely on the RUM either. By the time I get a Dragover with no Xyz Materials I most likely would have been able to drop a new one ready to keep the stun.
