Exclusive to Ldrago Destroy is its Full Metal "Clear Wheel" and its Fusion 'Destroy' Wheel. To put it in a simplified way, Ldrago Destroy has a switched MW and CW system where the Metal Wheel is placed on top of its Clear Wheel unlike the other 4D Beys.
The Fusion Clear Wheel is composed of a Poly Carbonate main frame embedded with Ldrago's signature Rubber absorb coating.
The Full Metal Ldrago Wheel weighs a whopping 38.63grams alone!
Ldrago Destroy like all hybrid Ldrago models is able to switch modes.
The Attack Mode: also the main mode of the Ldrago Destroy. The Attack mode hides the Rubber Absorbers under the MW, exposing only the PC parts. In this mode, the Bey is like one solid Metal Part. And due to the nature of the MWs even weight distribution, the solid body of the Destroy can knock any opponent without recoiling itself.
The Absorb Mode: similiar to its last version Meteo, the Destroy also has an Absorb mode. In this mode the Rubber Absorbers are exposed and creates a friction gap in the intitial open gaps in between the three dragon head parts. Upon contact with an opponent bey the Rubber Absorbers 'leeches' spin power and boost its own. With the more balanced Metal Wheel on top, the Destroy can more efficiently keep its balance during the 'leeching' process, much better than its previous design.
The most important part about the Ldrago Destroy is its new F:S fusion bottom.
The Final Survive fusion bottom is created to fully support the new Ldrago's 2 modes. Similar to BB-105 Big Bang Pegasis F:D, the F:S can also auto change between two modes. But in 'Reverse' to the Final Drive Bottom.
The F:S when at maximum spin force, is in Hole Flat (HF) mode, in this mode, the Ldrago Destroy will use it's Full Metal body to knock its opponent out if not damaging and reducing their spin ratio.
At Low spin force, the F:S changes to a Sharp bottom mode. Sharp being the best stamina bottom will stop the attacking Destroy and retains its remaining spin power. During this mode, if the Ldrago is in Absorb configuration, the Rubber Absorbers will come into play and 'leech' the opponent bey's spin power, making it rapidly loose spin power while increasing the Ldrago Destroy's spin ratio. Smart.
The Ldrago Destroy could probably be the most well designed Ldrago ever. The only set back would be the overly tall F:S system making the Destroy vulnerable to Low attackers. To counter that i would reccomend bladers to use Divine Chimera's Flat Ball (FB) bottom in replace of the F:S to get similar effects at much lower height.
Rumors of the Destroy Clear Wheel
There is a rumor going around in the WBBA design office that the Ldrago Destroy's Clear Wheel can actually be used with Meteo Ldrago's Clear Wheel. And guess what...
Its actually TRUE!!!
Though in my opinion this combi will deem useless due to its lack in weight and attacking capablities. Looks nice even when saying that ya.
So went on in adding Rock Giraffe's R145 and Grand Ketos Rubber Sharp bottom to create...
Ldrago Destroy R145RS!!! Full Rubber Ldrago!!!! LOL
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.
