Extreme Custom: The Heaviest Possible Bey

Ever since i got my new weighing scale, I have been wanting to solve the question of the "Heaviest Bey Combo" possible using existing available bey parts. (limiting to Season 2 Parts at the moment)


And after some measuring...


Bey Consist of:
Metal Face 2 - Heavy Custom
Kerbecs Clear Wheel
Basalt Metal Wheel
Boost Disk 145 Track
Metal Ball Bottom


The question of the Bull Clear Wheel (Jade Color: 3.39g) being the most heavy CW is untrue as the Kerbecs CW is actually the Heaviest Clear Wheel at 3.43g.


And there you have it, MF-H Basalt Kerbecs BD145MB is the heaviest possible Bey at a whooping 66.01grams.

New Milli Weighing Machine~

Got myself a new micro weighing machine


sort of gotten this over the internet as the old one can only measure up to the 1gram.


The new weighing machine can measure up to 0.01grams.


Now i can give more accurate weight measurements of bey parts!

CoroCoro Comic Premium Bey - Ray Unicorno D125CS Aurora Ver.

Found another rare Bey~


Coro Coro Comic Premium Bey - Ray Unicorno D125CS Aurora Version.
This Limited Bey is only available through Coro Coro's 'Sent In' lucky draw.



Contents Include:
Metallic Unicorno FaceBolt
Clear Unicorno Clear Wheel
Ray Metal Wheel (Metallic Purple)
Defence 125 Track
Coated Sharp Bottom
Hologram Metallic Sticker
Instructions
Tool



The Premium 'Metallic Purple' Ray MW is 1g+ heavier than the Starter Ray MW.
And as mentioned in my BB-93 Ray Unicorno Booster post, The Booster Ray MW is 1g more heavier than BB-71 Starter version. Therefore, making the Metallic Purple Ray Similar in weight to the Booster Ray MW.



The part that got me very interested in getting this Bey was the Coated Sharp. Unlike the normal CS, the Aurora Version has a Clear Coated Sharp. And the 'Secret' to the clear CS is that the 'rubber' portion is made of Poly Carbonate  or PC instead of the regular red rubber material~
This makes the New CS similar to Flat Ball (FB) from Divine Chimera.



Did not apply the Metallic Horographic Stickers for saving its natural painted portion and in my opinion, the Metallic Printed FaceBolt is fantastic looking by itself. Another great addition to the collection~

Coro Coro Comic May Issue Review

Just got the May issue of CoroCoro Comic


This issue has little coverage of beyblade on its cover. You might want to take note of the 'hell kerbecs:blue inferno ver.' on the top left to avoid buying the wrong issue ya.


First up, a 4.5 page review on the soon to release BB-108 Ldrago Destroy Final:Survive!
"Full Metal Armor!!! Becomes Powerful!!!"



Reviews how the new Ldrago Full Metal MW forsakes a Clear Wheel to become more heavy and powerful. The MW being completely made out of metal, made Ldrago Destroy the most destructive bey ever invented. But hidden under its fearsome attack MW, is the new improved Rubber Disc formerly found on Meteo Ldrago's Clear Wheel.


Ldrago Destory has two modes,
Attack Mode - where Rubber Disc 'absorbing contact' is hidden, leaving exposed, its Poly Carbonate claws.
Absorb Mode - PC claws becomes part of the Metal Ldrago Wheel, absorbing contacts exposed to take opponent's stamina without compromising spin ratio.



New F:S. Final Survive 4D Fusion Track/Bottom is the direct reverse of Big Bang Pegasis Final:Drive.
Similar in concept, the F:S also uses Gravitation Force to switch modes. When the Bey is at its maximum spinning gravitational force, the F:S is on HF (Hole Flat), enabling the Bey to do rapid hard attacks on it opponent using it solid Metal body.
At lower spin ratio, the F:S switches and from the HF emerges a Sharp Bottom tip! Bey is raised up when tip is exposed and Rubber Disc will absorb 'dying' opponents remaining spin. The power of Final:Survive!


Next is a 2 page feature on the 4th 4D bey, Beat Lynx TH170WD~


BB-109 Beat Lynx TH170WD comes from Random Booster Vol 7 as its limited premium prize Bey.


Like most RBV prize beys, this bey also comes with exclusive parts. Its mode changing 4D Metal Wheel and its height changing TH170 track~


The Beat MW consist of a Poly Carbon switch ring and a Defence design type MW, similar to Vulcan MW.
The PC switch ring enables the Beat MW to change between Attack Mode and Defence Mode by exposing the "Ears" for executing a powerful spike attack or hiding them forming a Circular All Round Defence MW.


The Triple Height 170 Track is a evolution of the former CH120 from Dark Cancer. Instead of 2, the TH170 can switch between 3 heights, 170, 195 and 220~

170 - For opposing 'Tall' opponents like the Flame Byxis 230WD. 170 allows the MW to effectively reach the Byxis MW to slow it down.
195 - For opposing '145' Defence/Stamina types like Earth Aquila 145WD. 195 allows  Beat MW to Smash Attack 145 type Bey from the top without compromising Balance and Spin Ratio.
220 - For opposing Low Attackers like Screw Capricorne 90MF. 220 functions similar to 230 preventing the Beat MW from being contact by opponent's MW. Pivot effect makes Beat Lynx difficult to lose Spin Ratio, Stamina Up!



BB-109 Random Booster Vol.7 is known as the 'Rare Booster Volume', this is because it contains parts from Game Premiums, Stadium Premiums and RBV Prize Parts. Beys in this series includes:
-Tornado Horuseus 130RSF
-Gravity Perseus 85DS
-Gravity Perseus BD145XF
-Hell Herculeos 100XF
-Hell Horuseus 85RS
-Vulcan Herculeos 130DS
-Vulcan Horogium BD145RS


The strange thing to me was that Gravity Perseus was in the RBV7. Reason because its a non-interchangable Bey, meaning its Clear/Metal Wheel can't be compatible with other MWs. Thats why it has a Reshuffle set in the first place. The good thing is the "official" release of Vulcan MW, now bladers can have the chance to get this limited Game Premium without losing a limb, lol


The next page features yet another CoroCoro Comic Limited Bey, Ldrago Destroy : Gold Armored Version. Readers of next month's issue will be able to send in a lucky draw to get this Limited Bey that comes with an Even Limited Metal Face with Ldrago imbossed on it!


Lastly, a 2 page feature on the 4D project and about how the 4D system is making customization so much more challenging and versatile in competitions.


A side column along the comic section mentioned:
"CoroCoro Comic June Issue Scoop! - A Beyblade that can't be damage! The birth of Legend Bey, 'Scythe Chronos' "

Sound like Tobi's line of Bey ya? Since they did say the same for Basalt Horogium when it first came out, hmmm...


The Back of the mag featured the upcoming BB-108 Ldrago Destroy F:S (Comes with Light Launcher L!), BB-109 RBV7, BB-110 Cosmo Blue BeyLauncher, BB-111 Army Green BeyLauncher.

Really looking forward to more 4D beys, will definately get RBV7 thou. Its pretty worth i might say.

BB-107 Big Bang Pegasis DX Set

Introducing the new DX set for the 4D series...


BB-107 Big Bang Pegasis DX Set~!


Contents Include:

3 Segment Launcher Grip (Silver)
Bey Launcher (Silver)
Bey Point Card*
Clear Pegasis 3 Face Bolt
Pegasis 3 Clear Wheel
Big Bang 4D Metal Wheel with Poly Carbon Wheel
Final Drive Fusion Track/Bottom
105 Track
85 Track
Rubber Flat Bottom
Extreme Flat Bottom
Tool
Instructions & Stickers





Either than the color variant of the Big Bang MW Poly Carbon Wheel, the rest of the parts of the Big Bang Pegasis F:D are similar. Thou i would love to add that the FaceBolt has a Silver printed Pegasis 3 on it. Makes my day XD


2 variants of the Big Bang Pegasis F:D
I wonder how many color variants are they going to make out of this Pegasis alone ya~
There are 3 color versions at the moment, not in the collection is the "Gold Wing" version from Coro Coro Lucky Draw.

BB-106 Fang Leone 130W2D

Up next is the 2nd 4D beyblade...


BB-106 Fang Leone 130W2D~!


Contents Include:
FaceBolt
Leone 2 Clear Wheel
Fang 4D two part Metal Wheel
130 Track
Wave Wide Defence Bottom
Light Launcher 2 + Ripcord (Black)
Instructions & Stickers
Tool



The Fang 4D MW, unlike the Big Bang MW has only two sections instead of three.
The top section of the MW can be flip over to change between two modes:


Defence Mode (normal defence levels)


Counter Mode (max defence mode with critical counter levels)
The 'Counter' Mode is not anyones cup of tea when it comes to defence. With Critical levels of Counter abilities, the MW can easily Stadium Out both your opponent and yourself. With that, the reason for its New bottom.

The Wave Wide Defence Bottom.

A smart upgrade to the existing Wide Defence bottom, Wave Wide Defence has a 2 tier 'Ripple' or 'Wave' surface with a pointed tip for maximum Stamina. The secondary ripple increases grip when opposed with the 'Counter' effect with Minimum contact surface to reduce spin velocity.


Fang Leone will definately be top in counter levels, a defence bladers best addition~
(hope that there is a clear facebolt for Fang soon ya)

BB-105 Big Bang Pegasis F:D

Apologies for the hiatus, but reviews were delayed due to some shipping issues but nonetheless...


BB-105 Big Bang Pegasis F:D is here~!


Contents Include:
FaceBolt
Pegasis 3 Clear Wheel
Big Bang 4D Metal Wheel with Poly Carbonate Layer
Final Drive Fusion Track/Bottom
Light Launcher 2 +  Ripcord (Black)
Instructions & Stickers
Tool



The 4D Big Bang MW is compose by 2 sets of Metal Wheels and a special Poly Carbon Wheel.
It allows the MW to switch between 4 modes in which the 2 main modes are shown below.



The Upper Attack Mode (shift the PC Wheel to change into Rapid Attack Mode)


The Smash Mode (shift the PC to change to Defence Mode) 
Its kind of complicating, but as long you stick to the two main modes you should be fine.


The Final Drive Fusion Track/Bottom is a Auto changing 4D part.
It uses Central Gravitational Force to automatically change between two modes.



When in Max Velocity, the Semi Flat bottom is pushed out by the F:D. Small but efficient attack circle patterns will be excecuted by the Bey, conserving much spin energy.


When at Medium Velocity, the Semi Flat bottom retracts and the wide Rubber bottom takes over.
Due to the slope design of the Rubber bottom, the Bey will be able to do a 'flower' attackk pattern, knocking now low velocity opponents at their weakest with a Final Drive!



The Big Bang is quite huge out of the box. Its the same size as Hell Kerbecs BD145DS.


Both are also similiar in height.


Big Bang Pegasis F:D a definate must have collection.
(Pardon the clear facebolt, don't really like the blank one ^^")
