Beyblade architecture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Through the lifespan of Beyblade toy line, there are different generations of architectures that are being introduced in the TV series; Here we will talk about the diffirent types, Techniques and parts.
Contents |
[edit] Basic System
Basic System is the first Beyblade tops and all tops up to the system are made mostly of plastic, save the Weight Disk and some Base tips. These blades all include five basic parts:
- Bit Chip: A decorative plate inserted into the Attack Ring of the Beyblade. This part displays a mythical creature.
- Attack Ring: It determines the blade's effect when it impacts against its opponent, as this is normally the first part to come into contact with the opposing blade.
- Weight Disk: The part located in the direct center of the Beyblade. This determines the blade's endurance and, most of the time, its central weight.
- Spin Gear: This determines the direction of the Beyblade; clockwise (Right) or counterclockwise (Left).
- Blade Base: The bottom part of the Beyblade. This houses the Spin Gear and is normally the first part of the blade to touch the Beystadium.
- Tip: To determine how the blade spins.It determines blade's movement pattern. Each blade has a different tip to make it spin differently.
The first blades are composed of a four-layer part system: Bit Chip, Attack Ring, Weight Disk, and Blade Base. In the Blade Base of a four-layer system blade the Spin Gear is permanently attached. Four-layers usually have six-sided Weight Disks.
Upon the arrival of the S- and F-series of blades a new system was introduced which included detachable and interchangeable Spin Gears, thus creating a five-layer blade system. Along with these Spin Gears, S- and F-series blades use eight-sided Weight Disks.
[edit] Magnacore system
Magnacore system is a line of Beyblade toys widely distributed during the Beyblade 2000 (V-Force) season, these blades use magnetic Spin Gears and Weight Disks to push or repel blades from each other or the stadium, which can have magnets added beneath the surface to manipulate the blades.The magnets beneath the stadium holds it one place or makes it move to a different magnet in the stadium. This makes it hard to attack.
When the Magnacore system was introduced, the spin gears were customizable using different cores in the "SGs". The cores included as follows: Neo S-Magne (Metal Dranzer, Driger V, Dranzer V, Gaia Dragoon V) Neo N-Magne (Flash Leopard 2, Draciel V, Voltaic Ape) Neo Metal Weight (Dragoon V, Flash Leopard, Driger V2, Dranzer V2, Draciel V2) Neo Weight (Dragoon V2) Neo Heavy Metal Gear (Metal Driger)
Also the V2 Magnacore Beyblades have Support Parts that connect to the base. Some line up with the AR (I.E Driger V2)

[edit] Engine Gear System
The Engine Gear core is a special Spin Gear that produces super-speed burst of torque & speed to accelerate the top, giving it a superior speed and power. Each EG-compatible top, however, has a power flow chart that tells you when it will release its burst of speed.
The structure of each Engine Gear top is similar to previous Beyblade models, which includes Bit Chip, Attack Ring, Weight Disk, and Blade Base. But, with Engine Gear tops, the normal SG is replaced with an Engine Gear. Each Engine Gear includes a Turbo Winder to wind-up the engine core. When in action, the Blade Base releases the Engine Gear determined by the Blade Base's clutch lock system.
This gimmick first debuts in the "Beyblade G-Revolution" anime series before being translated into an actual toy.
[edit] Engine Gear Types
- Type 1 - Instant Release: Commonly known as the "First Clutch EG"; This type triggers the Engine Gear right at the beginning of battle for a near instant release of super-speed.
- Type 2 - Steady Release: This type has large tip that causes the spin release to be slower and longer.
- Type 3 - Hit Release: When the top collides with a wall or another top, the Clutch Levers on the sides of the Blade Base will be pushed in, releasing a burst of speed.
- Type 4 - Gyro Gear: This is an internal engine that spins the tip of the top independently, depending on how hard your pull is. The design of the "Engine Stopper" base allows this unique engine to be launched in either Right or Left Spin, with or without a launcher.
- Type 5 - Turbo Left: A specialized spring gives the Left Spin top a shorter, but more powerful burst of speed.
- Type 6 - Hit Reverse: Unique internal Engine Gear spins in an opposite direction to the spin of the top, changing the way the top moves around the stadium and launching a surprise counter attack on the opponent.
[edit] Customizable Engine Weights
For the 4 GT Series Beyblades that were released, the EG that comes with them is able to have a slot for the Customizable Engine Weight(CEW), which is interchangeable with other CEWs.
The EG however can fit with the "Clutch" bases.
The original CEWs that were produced by Takara were the following:
- Light Sharp (Comes with Zeus (Takara Ver.))
- Metal Semi-Flat (Comes with Dranzer-GT ,Gigars (Hasbro Ver.) and Dragoon-G (Blue Ver.))
- Metal Grip (Comes with Dragoon-GT)
- Metal Change (Comes with Gigars (Takara Ver.))
- Metal Sharp (Comes with Flame Pegasus)
- Metal Ball Sharp (Comes with Zeus (Hasbro Ver.))
NOTE: Some of the parts listed may have just been replicated with a new color for several of Hasbro's G2 Series Blades.
[edit] Heavy/Hard Metal System
Beyblade HMS (Heavy/Hard Metal System) is a line of Beyblade toys released after the Engine Gear line of blades in respect to the anime series. This series, unlike ones in the past, use smaller pieces of mainly metal.
These blades are composed of a four-layer part system:
- Bit Protector: This holds the parts together, unlike its plastic counterpart, the Bit Chip, which was merely decorative. With the release of the first 5 HMS, they were given 2 different stickers for the "BP", one of a "bit beast" and one of the emblem. The emblem stickers were the only ones that appeared in later beys.
- Attack Ring: This is composed of an inner metal part screwed to an outer ASB caul.
- Weight Disk: HMS Weight Disks are completely circular, unlike plastic Weight Disks which were shaped as hexa-, octa-, and decagons. There are also Customizable Weight Disks, which have plastic and metal parts, the plastic parts giving the Weight Disk a certain feature.
- Running Core: The Blade Base of HMS.
HMS blades do not use Spin Gears or Engine Gears, nor do they require them since the blade can be launched from both spin directions. This is possible through the HMS Neo Dual Launcher, which allows such spin-changing; also this launcher is superior to the classic launchers
[edit] Other parts
- RC Blades: Like the TV show, some Beyblade tops can be controlled after they are launched. For head-to-head battle between 2 RC tops, 2 RC launchers with separate frequencies are required. The only customizable parts that RC Beyblades have are attack rings. RC Beyblades are the only Hasbro Beyblades that come with Neo Dragoon winders.

[edit] Types of Attack (Detailed)
Defence
Defence Beyblades are meant to do three things.
- Stay in the center of the stadium.
- Take a beating and still keep "Most" of it's RPM
- take a hit with out flying out of the stadium
A basic Defence combo is:
- AR: Tiger Defence
- WD: Wide Defence
- SG: HMC
- BB: SG Metal Ball (4 ball bearings)
Smash
Smash Beyblades are meant to attack fast and mean.
- Moves about the stadium at high speed (as compared to having a high RPM for upper attack): more friction against stadium surface is preferred
- Meant to pound at the opponent with high force
- Meant for fast KOs
A basic Smash Combo is:
- AR: Whale Attacker
- WD: 10 Wide
- SG: Neo MW Right
- BB: Storm Grip
- Note that spike attack is very similar to smash attack, but uses a ridged surface to increase pressure for each hit. An example of a spike attack AR is Eight Spiker in left spin.
Forced Smash
This is very different from smash. It is the opposite of upper, as it hits opponents downwards instead of upwards.
- Like upper attack, it should have a high RPM
- Attack ring should be taller than the opponent to successfully force smash
- It needs to be able to mantain balance after force smashing the opponent.
- This attack style is less common
A basic Force Smash Combo is:
- AR: Gigantuan Claw
- WD: 10-balance
- SG: HMC
- BB: Customize Metal Sharp
Upper Attack
Upper Attack Beyblades are meant to "throw the opponet out of the stadium or into a "pocket".
- Has swooping AR.
- Normally is low to the ground.
- Moves close the center of the stadium and then out in repeating motion.
- Preferbly has a high spin rate
A basic Upper Attack Combo is:
- AR: Triangle Wing
- WD: 10 Wide
- SG: Neo HMC Left
- BB: SG Metal Flat
Wobbler
Wobblers are meant to fall on the opponent in order to take them out
- Is normally tall
- Has an AR with odd weight distribution
A common Wobbler combo is:
- AR: Knight Crusher
- WD: Circle Wide
- RC: Bearing Core 2
Weight Disk Attacker
They generally fight with a wide weight disk instead of attack ring
- Is generally having a small AR.
- Weight Disk is very large.
- Similar to smash attack, but uses weight disc instead
A Weight Disk Attacker combo can be:
- AR-Tri-cutter
- WD-Star Attack
- SG-Normal
- BB-SG semi flat/ flat
