__TOC__
== Name Variation ==

[[Hasbro]] released this product under the name Bearing Stinger.

== Attack Ring (AR): Scissor Cutter ==

* '''Weight:''' 5 grams

The AR of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]], Scissor Cutter, is thin and light with decent balance. It is not useful for survival/endurance/stamina or defense purposes, but it has usage as an attack AR. The normal version is far too fragile to use, but the Phantom Force version is more durable, but still very fragile. It is good as an attack AR.

== Weight Disk (WD): Heavy ==

See [[Heavy Weight Disks | Heavy (WD)]].

== Blade Base (BB): Bearing Base ==

* '''Weight:''' 8 grams

Bearing Base is the important part of this Beyblade. The tip of the Bearing Base is [[free-spinning]]. Because of this, when the Beyblade is hit by an opposing Beyblade, it absorbs much of the damage and does not lose spin as easily. The shaft of Bearing Base is held in place by two [[bearings]] (one of the two is plastic, but it can be replaced by NSK [[Bearings|bearing]]), an attribute shared only with [[Burning Kerberus]] and [[Takara]]'s [[Zeus]]. Because of these double [[bearings]], Bearing Base can regain its balance quickly after being hit. The tip of this shaft is very sharp and made of a plastic that has low friction when compared to other tips. It is one of the best tips for [[survival]] Beyblades.

=== Mold Variations ===

[[Hasbro]]'s Bearing Base has a slight but important difference. The tip of the Beyblade is slightly sharper and made out of a harder plastic, resulting in more [[survival]] potential, but substantially less [[defense]] potential.

=== Using Bearing Base Shaft in Other Blade Bases ===

An important trick to learn using the Bearing Base is that the shaft can be removed and put into the casing of [[Wolborg]]'s shaft. This will allow you to use Bearing Stinger's tip in [[5-layer]] combos, which affords you the advantage of using a left spin direction with this tip, along with using [[Wolborg 2]]'s BB. This can even be extended into making [[6-Layer]] combos, as the SG of Wolborg can be placed in [[Dragoon V2]]'s BB. Using this method, you can use Bearing Base's tip in conjunction with SP.

=== Use in [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===

Bearing Base was the only BB choice for first generation [[Zombie|Zombies]]. It was effective for [[survival]], spin-stealing, and life after death. Even after the first generation, the shaft of Bearing Base could still be used in [[5-layer]] and [[6-layer]] Zombie combos.

==== Use in First Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

Before the release of [[Wolborg]], the only BB available for players wanting to use a [[Zombie]] strategy -- or create any meaningful [[survival]] type -- was Bearing Base. The problem was that since this Beyblade did not use an SG, it was difficult to change its spin direction. However, using the AR of [[Roller Defenser]] in a certain fashion, players were able to change spin direction.

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Roller Defense Ring ([[Roller Defenser]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''BB:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])

==== Use in Second Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

After the release of [[Wolborg]] and [[Wolborg 2]], players had considerably more options when it came to building [[Zombie|Zombies]]. However, Bearing Base's tip was still a strong choice. Neither Wolborg nor Wolborg 2's tips provide the same pure [[survival]] potential. Luckily, the casing for Wolborg's shaft allowed the Bearing Base shaft to be exchanged with it. Unfortunately, the ability to use two bearings is lost.

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Tiger Defense ([[Driger S]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])
* '''BB:''' defense grip1

==== Use in Third Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

Even during the [[6-layer]] generation, Bearing Base's shaft could still be used to strong results. The trick is similar to second generation [[Zombie|Zombies]].

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Twin Horn ([[Gabriel]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Takara]] Version])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]])
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]])

==== Use in Survival Combos ====
Due to Bearing bases unrivaled endurance, it can be very useful in an endurance combo. The only BB that can even come close to matching it is Auto Change Base ([[Dranzer Auto Change Balancer]]).

An example combo would be:

* '''AR''' Wing Cutter ([[Dranzer Auto Change Balancer]])
* '''WD''' 10 Balance
* '''BB''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]]) With two NSK Shield Bearings.
This combo has great balance and terrific endurance, meaning it will generally win unless knocked out early, and can even best top-tier compact and balance combos, such as 10B-[[Bistool]].

== Other Versions ==

== Overall ==

[[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] is one of the most useful Beyblades released, mostly due to its BB and shaft. Unfortunately, it is also one of the oldest and rarest. Although the [[Phantom Force]] release alleviated this temporarily, it has now gone back to being practically impossible to track down. It is a shame, because it is also a Beyblade that ever player should own. '''Every player should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''

== Attack Ring (AR): Scissor Cutter ==

* '''Weight:''' 5 grams

The AR of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]], Scissor Cutter, is thin and light with decent balance. It is not useful for survival/endurance/stamina or defense purposes, but it has usage as an attack AR. The normal version is far too fragile to use, but the Phantom Force version is more durable, but still very fragile. It is good as an attack AR.

Bearing Base is the important part of this Beyblade. The tip of the Bearing Base is [[free-spinning]]. Because of this, when the Beyblade is hit by an opposing Beyblade, it absorbs much of the damage and does not lose spin as easily. The shaft of Bearing Base is held in place by two [[bearings]] (one of the two is plastic, but it can be replaced by NSK [[Bearings|bearing]]), an attribute shared only with [[Burning Kerberus]] and [[Takara]]'s [[Zeus]]. Because of these double [[bearings]], Bearing Base can regain its balance quickly after being hit. The tip of this shaft is very sharp and made of a plastic that has low friction when compared to other tips. It is one of the best tips for [[survival]] Beyblades.

An important trick to learn using the Bearing Base is that the shaft can be removed and put into the casing of [[Wolborg]]'s shaft.

This can even be extended into making [[6-Layer]] combos, as the SG of Wolborg can be placed in [[Dragoon V2]]'s BB. Using this method, you can use Bearing Base's tip in conjunction with SP.

=== Use in [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===

Bearing Base was the only BB choice for first generation [[Zombie|Zombies]]. It was effective for [[survival]], spin-stealing, and life after death. Even after the first generation, the shaft of Bearing Base could still be used in [[5-layer]] and [[6-layer]] Zombie combos.

==== Use in First Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

Before the release of [[Wolborg]], the only BB available for players wanting to use a [[Zombie]] strategy -- or create any meaningful [[survival]] type -- was Bearing Base. The problem was that since this Beyblade did not use an SG, it was difficult to change its spin direction. However, using the AR of [[Roller Defenser]] in a certain fashion, players were able to change spin direction.

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Roller Defense Ring ([[Roller Defenser]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''BB:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])

==== Use in Second Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

After the release of [[Wolborg]] and [[Wolborg 2]], players had considerably more options when it came to building [[Zombie|Zombies]]. However, Bearing Base's tip was still a strong choice. Neither Wolborg nor Wolborg 2's tips provide the same pure [[survival]] potential. Luckily, the casing for Wolborg's shaft allowed the Bearing Base shaft to be exchanged with it. Unfortunately, the ability to use two bearings is lost.

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Tiger Defense ([[Driger S]])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])
* '''BB:''' defense grip1

==== Use in Third Generation [[Zombie|Zombies]] ====

Even during the [[6-layer]] generation, Bearing Base's shaft could still be used to strong results. The trick is similar to second generation [[Zombie|Zombies]].

An example combo would be:

* '''AR:''' Twin Horn ([[Gabriel]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Takara]] Version])
* '''WD:''' [[Wide Survivor]]
* '''SG:''' [[Spin Gear#A to F Series Spin Gears | Left SG]] (Bearing Version) ([[Wolborg]])
* '''Shaft:''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]])
* '''SP:''' Defense Ring ([[Voltaic Ape]])
* '''BB:''' Customize Grip Base ([[Dragoon V2]])

==== Use in Survival Combos ====
Due to Bearing bases unrivaled endurance, it can be very useful in an endurance combo. The only BB that can even come close to matching it is Auto Change Base ([[Dranzer Auto Change Balancer]]).

An example combo would be:

* '''AR''' Wing Cutter ([[Dranzer Auto Change Balancer]])
* '''WD''' 10 Balance
* '''BB''' Bearing Base ([[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]]) With two NSK Shield Bearings.
This combo has great balance and terrific endurance, meaning it will generally win unless knocked out early, and can even best top-tier compact and balance combos, such as 10B-[[Bistool]].

== Overall ==

[[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] is one of the most useful Beyblades released, mostly due to its BB and shaft. Unfortunately, it is also one of the oldest and rarest. Although the [[Phantom Force]] release alleviated this temporarily, it has now gone back to being practically impossible to track down. It is a shame, because it is also a Beyblade that ever player should own. '''Every player should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''

HWS Metal Wheel List

2011-03-16T06:56:26Z

Kaizermfb: /* Rock */

==Cyber==

*'''Weight:''' 29.5 grams
The original release of Cyber is coated with red spray paint. The shape and appearance is similar to that of the original Pegasis wheel. The main shape of Cyber consists of three wing like forms. The Cyber wheel doesn't have the original Pegasis' Force Smash capbilities for one reason. The slightly jagged end of each of the three wing like forms that Cyber have would have been well suited for Force Smash, however, it was not created to be the same weight as the Pegasis wheel, but rather much lighter. Therefore hindering it's Attack uses completely. Pegasis, Vulcan and Lightning are far more consistent Attack wheels.

Beyblade: [[Cyber Pegasis 100HF]]

==Dark==
[[Image:05DarkBull.JPG|thumb|120px|Dark]]
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Dark has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction. These protrusions are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in an overall round shape. This shape hinders the Metal Wheel in two ways, as its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient [[Smash Attack]]; while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient [[Survival | Stamina]]. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area, resulting in poor defensive capabilities.

Beyblade: [[Dark Bull H145SD]], [[Dark Cancer CH120SF]], [[Dark Wolf DF145FS]]

==Earth==
[[Image:10EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|120px|Earth (Second Mold)]]
*'''Weight:''' 33.1 grams
Earth has four thick, textured wings surrounding its perimeter, with each pair facing each other on a slight incline. The space created between the wings is quite small, and the resulting effect is similar to any Wheel that has no spaces: minimal recoil. Though it is on the lighter side of Metal Wheels, its almost unperturbed circular design, and minimal recoil make it one of the best, if not the best, [[Defense]]-oriented Wheel currently available for competitive play. The second mold of Earth is included with Earth Virgo GB145BS

Earth has two different molds. The first mold was released in BB-47 Starter Earth Aquila 145WD, and the second in both the purple WBBA "Event Special" MF Earth Aquila 105HF/S, and SonoKong manufactured Earth Metal Wheels. However, TAKARA-TOMY has since ceased production on the first mold, thus making it a difficult part to obtain. The second mold addressed breaking problems that the original mold faced by modifying the inside of each of Earth's wings. The new mold is up to three grams heavier than the old mold (30-31 grams versus 33 grams on the new mold), which makes it significantly more effective for [[Defense]] customizations. Therefore, the new mold is the preferred choice for Defense customs using Earth, while the original mold would be the best for [[Survival | Stamina]].

Beyblade: [[Earth Aquila 145WD]], [[Earth Virgo GB145BS]]

==Flame==
[[Image:05FlameLibra.JPG|thumb|120px|Flame]]
*'''Weight:''' 32.5 grams
The Metal Wheel Flame was first released with Flame Sagittario C145S. It is predominantly circular, with two small spikes and two additional smaller gaps on its circumference. The Wheel is relatively thin throughout, with the very edge of the Wheel being slightly thicker. Due to the design of Flame where the Wheel’s perimeter is raised slightly, more of the Track below is exposed compared to other Wheels, hence making it easier for other Beyblades to strike its Track. This significantly reduces its [[Defense]] capabilities.

Beyblade: [[Flame Libra T125ES]], [[Flame Sagittario C145S]], [[Flame Byxis 230WD]]

==Killer==
[[Image:KillerGemios22.jpg|thumb|120px|Killer]]
*'''Weight:''' 31.2 grams
Like its Metal System predecessor [[Gemios DF145FS | Gemios]], Killer has a textured, bumpy, two-winged design that ends in two rounded edges. However, unlike its predecessor, it is considerably thinner even with a smaller amount of metal dropping below the base of the Wheel. Being so thin, the edges of each wing do not apply as much force as those of the Gemios Metal Wheel; as a result, Killer loses any of the potential [[Smash Attack]] the first incarnation had.

Being so thin negates any possible defensive qualities, and though it may seem suited for [[Survival | Stamina]], it has shown no advantage over any of the top-tier [[Survival | Stamina]] Wheels like [[Virgo DF145BS | Virgo]], [[Burn Phoenix 135MS#Metal Wheel: Burn | Burn]] or even [[Earth Aquila 145WD#Metal Wheel: Earth | Earth]].

Hasbro changed the name of the wheel to "Evil" to avoid being offensive. As a result, the Hasbro version is "Evil Gemios" as opposed to "Killer Gemios".

Beyblade: [[Killer Gemios DF145FS]], [[Killer Beafowl UW145EWD]]

==Lightning==
[[Image:006LLDrago.JPG|thumb|120px|Lightning]]
*'''Weight:''' 30 grams
This Wheel is characterized by its prominent [[Smash Attack]] in Upper Mode. Of the total six protrusions, three are of the ‘Upper Mode’ and three are of the ‘Multi-Hit mode’. To switch between these modes, the Beyblade would need to be disassembled, and then the L Drago Clear Wheel rotated 180°.

Of the two available modes it is widely considered that ‘Upper Mode’ is superior. Contrary to the name, the strength of this wheel doesn’t come from [[Upper Attack]], but [[Smash Attack]]. Lightning does suffer from some recoil, but this problem can easily be rectified with both MF and RF. Paired with the right Track, Lightning can provide a ferocious Smash Attack.

Beyblade: [[Lightning L Drago 100HF]]

==Rock==
[[Image:002RockLeone.jpg|thumb|120px|Rock]]
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Rock has six large protrusions with small, shallow gaps between each one. It also overhangs the Track much like the original [[Leone 145D | Leone]] Metal Wheel, although to a smaller extent.

Rock as a [[Defense]] type is unable to match the qualities of Metal Wheels such as Earth and Virgo, because the shape of Rock produces a significant amount of recoil upon contact with another Wheel. As a result, Rock is an outclassed Defense Wheel.

Beyblade: [[Rock Leone 145WB]], [[Rock Giraffe R145WB]], [[Rock Escolpio T125JB]]

==Storm==
[[Image:03StormPegasis.jpg|thumb|120px|Storm]]
*'''Weight:''' 30.4 grams
The main shape of Storm consists of three wing like forms, which are used for considerable [[Smash Attack]]. The wheel is a cheaper alternative for that of [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]], and is considered by many to be inferior to the [[Lightning L Drago 100HF | Lightning]] Metal Wheel.

Storm Pegasis 100RF however is still a good [[Attack]] combo, due to a decent level of [[Smash Attack]] ability from the Storm Wheel. The slightly jagged end of each of the three wing like forms that Storm consists of are well suited for Smash. Quetzalcoatl, however, is still a far more consistent Attack wheel.

Beyblade: [[Storm Pegasis 105RF]], [[Storm Capricorne M145Q]], [[Storm Aquario 100HF/S]]

==Big==
[[Image:Big.jpg|thumb|120px|Big]]
*'''Weight:''' N/A
Big is made of tenderized beef patty, some lettuce, pickles, onions, another slice of bread, as well as the trademarked Special Sauce. The included pickles provide negligible Roller Defense, but the protrusions formed by the rest of the salad provide important Smash Attack. Big is relatively small, but that short diameter allows the Clear Wheel, Mac, to make a lot more contact with other Beyblades. The upper part of it, the tenderized steak, breaks with ease. This is Big’s most glaring fault.

Beyblade: [[Big Mac 320YEN]]
==Counter==
*'''Weight:''' 29.2
Counter is styled like a HWS version of the Metal System Leone. It possesses six similar mane-like projections that coronate its circumference. The gaps between the six projections are too large to provide consistent smash for a competitive Attack Customization. Counter still showcases fair Smash Attack, but unlike Leone, it lacks the same degree of recoil. This is because the projecting paws are more compact and rounded than its counterpart’s. The lowered recoil makes it a better, albeit underwhelming, choice for a defensive combo.

Beyblade: [[Counter Leone D125B]], [[Counter Escolpio 145D]]

==Grand==
[[Image:11GrandKetos.JPG|thumb|120px|Grand]]
*'''Weight:''' 29.3
Grand is an intriguing wheel; it's thicker than Earth at the thickest point on its interconnected, smooth design. However, it is not as successful defensively, as it is 3.5 grams lighter than the second mold of Earth. On the Grand wheel there are six “walls” and with every two walls there is a gap dividing them into three sections. In each section there is a wall with small textured indents; this creates some recoil which is never a plus for a Defense-oriented Wheel. Because of this, it does have some Smash Attack, but it is mediocre and is completely outclassed by the multitude of other great Attack-based Wheels available, such as Vulcan.

Beyblade: [[Grand Ketos T125/WD145RS]]
==Vulcan==
*'''Weight:''' 32.3
The Vulcan Metal Wheel has a total of two semi-circular prominences and two smaller wings painted with two red stripes that give breath to its design. Upon closer inspection, the two prominences have slight slopes that suggest the Wheel's capability of Upper Attack. Despite the fact that these sloped areas are major contact points, they do not provide Upper Attack; however, they do provide Smash Attack. Between the two prominences are the two smaller wings, which are also major contact points.

Having a total of four major contact points suggests the Wheel possesses an incomparable amount of Smash Attack. In fact, the Vulcan Wheel can be used a top-tier Customization

Beyblade: [[Vulcan Horuseus 145D]]

[[Image:11GrandKetos.JPG|thumb|120px|Grand]]
*'''Weight:''' 29.3
Grand is an intriguing wheel; it's thicker than Earth at the thickest point on its interconnected, smooth design. However, it is not as successful defensively, as it is 3.5 grams lighter than the second mold of Earth. On the Grand wheel there are six “walls” and with every two walls there is a gap dividing them into three sections. In each section there is a wall with small textured indents; this creates some recoil which is never a plus for a Defense-oriented Wheel. Because of this, it does have some Smash Attack, but it is mediocre and is completely outclassed by the multitude of other great Attack-based Wheels available, such as Vulcan.

Beyblade: [[Grand Ketos T125/WD145RS]]
==Vulcan==
*'''Weight:''' 32.3
The Vulcan Metal Wheel has a total of two semi-circular prominences and two smaller wings painted with two red stripes that give breath to its design. Upon closer inspection, the two prominences have slight slopes that suggest the Wheel's capability of Upper Attack. Despite the fact that these sloped areas are major contact points, they do not provide Upper Attack; however, they do provide Smash Attack. Between the two prominences are the two smaller wings, which are also major contact points.

Having a total of four major contact points suggests the Wheel possesses an incomparable amount of Smash Attack. In fact, the Vulcan Wheel can be used a top-tier Customization

Kaizermfb: /* Counter */

==Cyber==

*'''Weight:''' 29.5 grams
The original release of Cyber is coated with red spray paint. The shape and appearance is similar to that of the original Pegasis wheel. The main shape of Cyber consists of three wing like forms. The Cyber wheel doesn't have the original Pegasis' Force Smash capbilities for one reason. The slightly jagged end of each of the three wing like forms that Cyber have would have been well suited for Force Smash, however, it was not created to be the same weight as the Pegasis wheel, but rather much lighter. Therefore hindering it's Attack uses completely. Pegasis, Vulcan and Lightning are far more consistent Attack wheels.

Beyblade: [[Cyber Pegasis 100HF]]

==Dark==
[[Image:05DarkBull.JPG|thumb|120px|Dark]]
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Dark has twelve spikes facing the clockwise direction. These protrusions are closely packed together with minimal space between each, resulting in an overall round shape. This shape hinders the Metal Wheel in two ways, as its protrusions are not pronounced enough to provide sufficient [[Smash Attack]]; while the perimeter is interrupted too frequently for sufficient [[Survival | Stamina]]. Additionally, its weight is distributed over too large a surface area, resulting in poor defensive capabilities.

==Earth==
[[Image:10EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|120px|Earth (Second Mold)]]
*'''Weight:''' 33.1 grams
Earth has four thick, textured wings surrounding its perimeter, with each pair facing each other on a slight incline. The space created between the wings is quite small, and the resulting effect is similar to any Wheel that has no spaces: minimal recoil. Though it is on the lighter side of Metal Wheels, its almost unperturbed circular design, and minimal recoil make it one of the best, if not the best, [[Defense]]-oriented Wheel currently available for competitive play. The second mold of Earth is included with Earth Virgo GB145BS

Earth has two different molds. The first mold was released in BB-47 Starter Earth Aquila 145WD, and the second in both the purple WBBA "Event Special" MF Earth Aquila 105HF/S, and SonoKong manufactured Earth Metal Wheels. However, TAKARA-TOMY has since ceased production on the first mold, thus making it a difficult part to obtain. The second mold addressed breaking problems that the original mold faced by modifying the inside of each of Earth's wings. The new mold is up to three grams heavier than the old mold (30-31 grams versus 33 grams on the new mold), which makes it significantly more effective for [[Defense]] customizations. Therefore, the new mold is the preferred choice for Defense customs using Earth, while the original mold would be the best for [[Survival | Stamina]].

==Flame==
[[Image:05FlameLibra.JPG|thumb|120px|Flame]]
*'''Weight:''' 32.5 grams
The Metal Wheel Flame was first released with Flame Sagittario C145S. It is predominantly circular, with two small spikes and two additional smaller gaps on its circumference. The Wheel is relatively thin throughout, with the very edge of the Wheel being slightly thicker. Due to the design of Flame where the Wheel’s perimeter is raised slightly, more of the Track below is exposed compared to other Wheels, hence making it easier for other Beyblades to strike its Track. This significantly reduces its [[Defense]] capabilities.

==Killer==
[[Image:KillerGemios22.jpg|thumb|120px|Killer]]
*'''Weight:''' 31.2 grams
Like its Metal System predecessor [[Gemios DF145FS | Gemios]], Killer has a textured, bumpy, two-winged design that ends in two rounded edges. However, unlike its predecessor, it is considerably thinner even with a smaller amount of metal dropping below the base of the Wheel. Being so thin, the edges of each wing do not apply as much force as those of the Gemios Metal Wheel; as a result, Killer loses any of the potential [[Smash Attack]] the first incarnation had.

Being so thin negates any possible defensive qualities, and though it may seem suited for [[Survival | Stamina]], it has shown no advantage over any of the top-tier [[Survival | Stamina]] Wheels like [[Virgo DF145BS | Virgo]], [[Burn Phoenix 135MS#Metal Wheel: Burn | Burn]] or even [[Earth Aquila 145WD#Metal Wheel: Earth | Earth]].

Hasbro changed the name of the wheel to "Evil" to avoid being offensive. As a result, the Hasbro version is "Evil Gemios" as opposed to "Killer Gemios".

Beyblade: [[Killer Gemios DF145FS]]

==Lightning==
[[Image:006LLDrago.JPG|thumb|120px|Lightning]]
*'''Weight:''' 30 grams
This Wheel is characterized by its prominent [[Smash Attack]] in Upper Mode. Of the total six protrusions, three are of the ‘Upper Mode’ and three are of the ‘Multi-Hit mode’. To switch between these modes, the Beyblade would need to be disassembled, and then the L Drago Clear Wheel rotated 180°.

Of the two available modes it is widely considered that ‘Upper Mode’ is superior. Contrary to the name, the strength of this wheel doesn’t come from [[Upper Attack]], but [[Smash Attack]]. Lightning does suffer from some recoil, but this problem can easily be rectified with both MF and RF. Paired with the right Track, Lightning can provide a ferocious Smash Attack.

Beyblade: [[Lightning L Drago 100HF]]

==Rock==
[[Image:002RockLeone.jpg|thumb|120px|Rock]]
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams
Rock has six large protrusions with small, shallow gaps between each one. It also overhangs the Track much like the original [[Leone 145D | Leone]] Metal Wheel, although to a smaller extent.

Rock as a [[Defense]] type is unable to match the qualities of Metal Wheels such as Earth and Virgo, because the shape of Rock produces a significant amount of recoil upon contact with another Wheel. As a result, Rock is an outclassed Defense Wheel.

Beyblade: [[Rock Leone 145WB]], [[Rock Giraffe R145WB]]

==Storm==
[[Image:03StormPegasis.jpg|thumb|120px|Storm]]
*'''Weight:''' 30.4 grams
The main shape of Storm consists of three wing like forms, which are used for considerable [[Smash Attack]]. The wheel is a cheaper alternative for that of [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]], and is considered by many to be inferior to the [[Lightning L Drago 100HF | Lightning]] Metal Wheel.

Storm Pegasis 100RF however is still a good [[Attack]] combo, due to a decent level of [[Smash Attack]] ability from the Storm Wheel. The slightly jagged end of each of the three wing like forms that Storm consists of are well suited for Smash. Quetzalcoatl, however, is still a far more consistent Attack wheel.

Beyblade: [[Storm Pegasis 105RF]], [[Storm Capricorne M145Q]]

==Big==
[[Image:Big.jpg|thumb|120px|Big]]
*'''Weight:''' N/A
Big is made of tenderized beef patty, some lettuce, pickles, onions, another slice of bread, as well as the trademarked Special Sauce. The included pickles provide negligible Roller Defense, but the protrusions formed by the rest of the salad provide important Smash Attack. Big is relatively small, but that short diameter allows the Clear Wheel, Mac, to make a lot more contact with other Beyblades. The upper part of it, the tenderized steak, breaks with ease. This is Big’s most glaring fault.

Beyblade: [[Big Mac 320YEN]]
==Counter==
*'''Weight:''' 29.2
Counter is styled like a HWS version of the Metal System Leone. It possesses six similar mane-like projections that coronate its circumference. The gaps between the six projections are too large to provide consistent smash for a competitive Attack Customization. Counter still showcases fair Smash Attack, but unlike Leone, it lacks the same degree of recoil. This is because the projecting paws are more compact and rounded than its counterpart’s. The lowered recoil makes it a better, albeit underwhelming, choice for a defensive combo.
