Basic System
Basic System is the first Beyblade tops and all tops up to
the Hard metal 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,
or "Bit Beast", which are the companions of the bladers in
the anime but are useless in real-life blading.
Attack Ring: The second topmost part of the Beyblade. This
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. It determines blade's
movement pattern.
The first blades are composed of a four-layer part system:
Bit Chip, 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.
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.
Engine Gear system
The Engine Gear Beyblade toy is a spinning core containing a
winder, which gives the top extra spinning power. This
Engine Gear first appeared in the G-Revolution anime series
before being translated into the toys. They have 10-sided
Weight Disks.
The types of Engine Gear
Four types of EG (Engine Gear) bases have been produced.
First Clutch: The base that holds the Beyblade's EG
releases the clutch as soon as it is launched.
(Comes in Metal Driger, Driger G, Dragoon G, Dragoon GT, and
Zeus)
Second Clutch: The base that holds the Beyblade's EG
releases latter in mid-battle.
(Comes in Dranzer G, Dranzer GT , Draciel G, Gaia Dragoon G,
Gigars)
No Clutch: The base has no clutch meaning there isn't
anything to prevent the Engine Gear to release. However, the
bases allow the EG to release at a steady and slow rate.
(Comes in Wolborg IV and Rock Bison)
Gyro EG: This base is the only one of its kind to
have a different EG. The only capable EG that can fit with
this base is the Gyro EG which comes along with it. It can
be spun in either the left or right direction with also the
direction of the normal launch.
(Comes with Flame Pegasus)
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 my Takara were the
following: Light Sharp (Comes with Zeus(Takara Ver.))
Metal Semi-Flat (Comes with Dranzer GT and Gigars (Hasbro
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 V2 Series Blades.
Hard Metal System
Beyblade HMS (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.
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 eg's nor do they require
them since the blade can be launched from both spin
directions. This is possible through the HMS Neo Duel
Launcher, which allows such spin-changing.
Other parts
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.
