'''Note:''' This article was written near the release of [[Metal Fight Beyblade]] and must be updated. Please do not take all of the information here as the truth, as they had not been tested as extensively then as they have been now, and the uses of their parts have changed since their original release.

__TOC__

Pegasis is one of the first four Metal Fight Beyblades released, and it is part of the Horoscope Series along with [[Leone 145D | Leone]], [[Bull 125SF | Bull]], and [[Sagittario 145S | Sagittario]].

==Wheel==

* ''Design change: The original design of Pegasis (seen below) was changed to the current design (above) sometime before the launch of Metal Fight Beyblade. No official statement was made, but the Beyblade community has speculated that it was because of probable breakage problems with each section on the Wheel.''

* '''Weight:''' 36 Grams

* '''Maximum Outer Diameter:''' Close Approximate 44.40 Millimeters

* '''Maximum Height:''' Close Approximate 12.16 Millimeters

The Pegasis wheel was originally one of the strongest parts when the MFB lineup was originally released.
Its original design appeared extremely offensive, but it was later changed to the above design (see above), which was better suited for stamina and defense.
The Pegasis wheel has since been vastly bettered by multiple wheels for both defensive and stamina purposes, leaving little reason to buy this blade other than for collectors purposes.

==Track: 105 (10.5mm)==

* '''Weight:''' 1 Gram

* '''Height (True):''' 10.34 Millimeters

This is the fourth lowest Track currently available. Pegasis does not have problems scraping the stadium floor when in balance with this Track.

==Bottom: Flat==

* '''Weight:''' 1 Gram

* '''Height:''' 8.93 Millimeters

* '''Tip Width:''' 4.08 Millimeters

The Flat Bottom has a flat tip, which gives it an offensive movement pattern. It is the equivalent of Flat Core (HMS) or SG Flat (Plastic).

==Other Versions==
* '''Pegasis 105F (Prototype)''' - BB-00 [[Metal Fight Beyblade#Limited | Pegasis Prototype]]
* '''Pegasis 145D''' - BB-05 Booster Pegasis 145D (Brown)
* '''Pegasis 145SF''' - [[Random Booster Vol.1 Secret Aries]] (Red)
* '''Pegasis 145F''' - Random Booster Vol.1 Secret Aries (Green)
* A purple Pegasis Wheel was distributed to some Japanese beybladers by the WBBA after they collected a certain amount of points/cards. The beyblade's Face is black with the WBBA's logo in gold.

==Overall==
Although Pegasis was once one of the better parts in the [[Metal Fight Beyblade]] system, it has aged badly as far as the series is concerned. 105 and F are still usable, but they are no longer the most efficient parts for [[Attack]] types. There is very little reason to purchase this Beyblade anymore, aside from collection purposes.

Storm Pegasis 105RF

==Face==
The face on this Beyblade depicts a Pegasus, one of the 88 constellations in space.

==Clear Wheel: Pegasis==
*'''Weight:''' 2.9 grams
The original release of '''Pegasis''' is a blue transparent plastic wheel. The edges of the Clear Wheel are shaped in a wing like pattern, each ending in a pointed ‘head’ shape, representing the body form of Pegasis, the symbol its design is influenced by.

==Metal Wheel: 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 top tier [[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 how ever is still a far more consistent Attack wheel.

===Use in Attack Customization===
Storm has proven itself as an effective [[Attack]] Wheel, earning itself a position as a first tier part.
Storm (as is the case with the majority of Attack Wheels), works best on a lower track, preferably 90 or 100.
''Storm Pegasis 90/100RF'' would be considered as the best possible combination for Storm, with 100 being the best of the two Tracks to use.

==Track: 105==
*'''Weight:''' 1.0 grams
105 is the fourth shortest Track to be released, and has been released multiple times. Although 90 and 100 have been proven to be better options for most [[Attack]] types, 105 is still a decent option if the aforementioned Tracks are unavailable.

==Bottom: Rubber Flat==
*'''Weight:''' 0.8 grams
RF, as its name implies has a flat, hard rubber tip, with a small indentation on the base of the tip. Its tip has just about the same width as WF, and is the second highest Bottom next to HF/S, which makes the shortest Track, 90, particularly useful in combination with this part.

By using its wide surface area and rubber material, the Bottom has a large amount of traction against the stadium floor, resulting in a such a fast and powerful attack pattern that it often renders itself useless by self-KOing the Beyblade it is being used on. Part of the blame for this problem can be put on the poor Tornado Ridge of the Attack Stadium, but the fact remains that RF was designed long after the release of the Attack Stadium, and should be able to maintain itself within it. To alleviate this problem it is recommended that you never use a brand new RF in any sort of competitive situation, as its likelihood of self-KOing is much higher; wear it down a little with some practice battles first. When this is done, the rapid movement of RF may subside slightly, but it becomes more controllable, and thus, more useful.

The use of rubber and the friction it creates with the stadium floor does lower its [[Survival | Stamina]] in comparison to plastic flat tips such as F and WF, but this is usually not a problem as an [[Attack]] types goal is to KO the other Beyblade, and it also helps reduce the recoil of violent wheels such as [[Sagittario 145S | Sagittario]].

===Mold Variations===
[[Image:09StormPegasis.jpg|thumb|SonoKong mold: left, TAKARA-TOMY mold: right]]
RF has two different molds. The original [[TAKARA-TOMY]] manufactured RF, and then the [[SonoKong]] manufactured RF variant. Some of the TAKARA-TOMY RFs tend to spin around freely when twisted between fingers, due to the circular nature of the rubber that held the tip itself into place. However this problem was rectified by the SonoKong mold which flattened two opposite sides of the rubber that holds the tip itself into the plastic section of the Bottom itself. The flattened sides make it impossible to spin the tip freely, thus solving the problem.

The performance difference between the two molds is negligible, but it is likely that the SonoKong mode would be more sturdy by not spinning around.

===Use in Attack Customization===
RF is considered by many to be the best [[Attack]] Bottom currently available, and is currently in use for all three top-tier [[Attack]] customs: ''[[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]] 90RF'', ''MF [[Lightning L Drago 100HF | Lightning L Drago]] CH120RF'', and ''Storm Pegasis 100RF''.

===Use in Defense Customization===
After heavy use, RFs tend to wear down, and their movement is reduced significantly. When this is the case, the traction created by the rubber can be useful to keep the blade from being knocked from the stadium. RF can be used effectively in the [[Defense]] customization ''MF Libra C145RF''.

===Use in Balance Customization===
RF has found use in a very specific [[Balance]] customization; in fact, it is really the only competitively viable [[Balance]] customization at this point in time. The custom is ''[[Libra DF145BS | Libra]] CH120RF''. Here is how it performs against the current staple customs:

* '''Versus Virgo DF145D -- use 120 height'''

Even though Libra is the heaviest Wheel ever created, because its weight is focused around the outside, it is still quite agile with RF. On its own, Libra is not a very effective [[Smash Attack]] Wheel, but its weight distribution in combination with the fast moving RF allow it to achieve an astonishing 90% win rate against [[Virgo DF145BS | Virgo]] DF145D. 120 height must be used in order for the Metal Wheels to make contact or it won't work.

* '''Versus Quetzalcoatl 90RF -- use 145 height'''

By switching to 145 height, the Track will absorb all of the hits dealt by [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF | Quetzalcoatl]]. The weight of [[Libra DF145BS | Libra]] combined with the grip of RF give it enough defense to withstand most attacks, and again, the win rate is 90%.

* '''Versus MF Libra C145WB -- use 120 height'''

The win ratio against the top tier [[Defense]] combo isn't that great -- only about 60% -- but this still isn't bad, considering how strong it is against the other two types. If you can avoid using this combo against Defense-types, you should, but if you're forced into that situation you can win with a perfect shot and a little luck.

To effectively use this custom, you absolutely must be able to perform [[Sliding Shoot]] because the window for landing a successful attack is much smaller than with other Storm or Quetzalcoatl-based Attackers. A skilled Blader can use this customization as an answer to almost anything that is thrown at them.

==Overall==
Storm is a top-tier [[Attack]] type Wheel, and 105 does have its uses in the absence of 90 and 100, but RF is without a doubt what makes this an essential buy for every competitive Blader. The Bottom can be unstable and hard to control, but if it is worn down a little and the proper skill is applied, it can be deadly. '''Every Blader should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''
