In ''April 2008'', [[TAKARA-TOMY]] announced the return of the Beyblade toyline with a completely new series called '''Metal Fight Beyblade''' (MFB) in Japan, after having suspended production in 2005. This new series is targeted towards a whole new generation of kids. The first releases were in stores around ''August 9th 2008''. To gain a wider audience, a manga drawn by Adachi Takafumi, an anime and a Nintendo DS game that feature a whole new cast of characters have since been released, and sales have only been increasing. A new official organization called World Beyblade Battle Association (WBBA) constantly hosts tournaments in Japanese shops and in bigger events, such as the bi-annual World Hobby Fair. In a recent press release, TAKARA-TOMY indirectly revealed that Metal Fight Beyblade should be active, perhaps outside Japan, until 2012. <br />
<br />
Starting in ''spring 2010'', Hasbro will be distributing '''Beyblade: Metal Fusion''' in Canada, and ''fall 2010'' in the United States and UK. It is unknown at the moment whether other countries will get the new beyblades around the same time. <br />
Takara Tomy is soon going to be releasing '''Metal Fight Beyblade 4D's''' on the 26th March 2011, Later in April 2011, Hasbro is bound to Be releasing the 2nd metal fusion series under the name '''Beyblade metal masters'''.<br />

==Components of MFBs==<br />
[[Image:MFBparts.jpg|thumb| Components of MFB]]<br />
[[Image:MFBchart.jpg|thumb|MFB Chart]]<br />
Before the beginning of the anime in April 2009, Metal Fight Beyblades were constituted of four parts: <br />
*'''Face/Face Bolt:''' Hexagonal screw-like piece that fastens the Beyblade together, similar to [[Bit Protector]] from the [[HMS]]. They feature graffiti-style illustrations on the top (i.e. Bull, Pegasis, etc). With the introduction of the Hybrid Wheel System also came the Metal Faces, which are 3.5 grams heavier than normal Faces, therefore they help add weight to a Beyblade. After BB-27, Faces have become blank and stickers now have to be added on them. <br />
*'''Wheel:''' Main source of attack from a Beyblade; unlike HMS, the Wheel is completely made out of metal to compensate for the lack of a Weight Disk. They use various shaped protrusions to lower the [[spin velocity]] of an opponent. The Wheel is fundamentally the same as the Attack Ring from the HMS and [[Plastic Beyblade | plastic Beyblades]]. The shooter connects directly to the Wheel and does not depend on the Face or the Track for a solid connection. The Wheel determines the spin direction of the Beyblade. <br />
*'''Track/Spin Track:''' The Track is the component of the Beyblade that connects the Wheel and Bottom. The Track determines the height of the Beyblade. Their names (when read with a decimal before the last digit) determine their height in millimeters. For example, Pegasis' Track is called 105, which stands for 10.5 MM. Some Tracks have gimmicks which help make multiple good customizations since some of them are significantly heavier than others, like Flame Sagittario’s C145 Track. <br />
*'''Bottom/Performance Tip:''' The bottom of the Beyblade. It has interchangeable tips which the Beyblade spins on. Movement patterns can be altered with the differently shaped tips that can be used. It is similar to the Blade Base from plastic Beyblades or the Running Core from HMS. The Bottom is indicated by the (sometimes two) last letter(s) of a Beyblade’s name: for instance, Capricorne 100HF, where HF is the Bottom and stands for Hole Flat. <br />
<br />
Faces and Bottoms are screwed onto the Tracks by using a Tool, which resembles an assembling key. One of its side is hexagonal-shaped to fit around the Face, and the opposite side is more round. <br />
<br />
===Hybrid Wheel System===<br />
Coinciding with the release of the anime in April 2009, a new system was introduced which has five components instead: the ''Hybrid Wheel System'' (HWS). The structure is very similar to the four-parts system, but it differs in that the Wheel is now separated into two: [[Image: hws.jpg|thumb| Hybrid Wheel System]]<br />
*'''Clear Wheel/Energy Ring:''' Upper part of the Hybrid Wheel which is made of clear polycarbonate, a kind of plastic that is supposed to be more resistant than normal. All plastic parts of a Metal Fight Beyblade are made out of that plastic. Unfortunately, most Clear Wheels rarely get to make a good impact in the game unless there is a significant height difference between two Beyblades; only the L Drago, Perseus and Meteo L Drago Clear Wheel obviously comes into play, as it is wider and that it actually extends to cover the Metal Wheel. However, Clear Wheels are mostly different because of their slight weight variations. <br />
*'''Metal Wheel/Fusion Wheel:''' As the name indicates, it is basically a thinner metal equivalent of the normal Wheel. The Metal Wheel mostly determines the weight of the Hybrid Wheel, as well as the type of attack of the beyblade because it is usually wider than the Clear Wheel. <br />
<br />
Together, the Clear and Metal Wheels’ weight is equivalent to that of a normal Wheel. Also, the Clear Wheel is the second part of a Hybrid Wheel name, while the Metal Wheel comes first: for example, Storm Pegasis – Storm is the Metal Wheel, Pegasis is made of plastic. <br />
<br />
TAKARA-TOMY has also been releasing Random Booster Light Volumes in which the Metal Wheels are replaced by Light Wheels: most of those are the plastic equivalent of already existing Metal Wheels, except Heat which only exists as a Light Wheel. There is no point in using Light Wheels competitively unless only that type of Wheel is used. Because of the huge drop in weight the different material causes, Light Wheel Beyblades do not spin for as long as normal Beyblades.[[Image:Spindirectionwalls.jpg|thumb|The walls that disable shooters of the opposite spin direction from working on certain Beyblades are circled]] In short, Random Booster Light Volumes are mostly an opportunity to get Clear Wheels, Tracks and Bottoms of different colours, or special parts that only come with the prize Beyblade of the Random Booster. <br />
<br />
A special note must be made about left-spin Wheels: not only do they require a special launcher currently not sold separately, but, in the case of Hybrid Wheels, left-spin Clear Wheels and Metal Wheels are incompatible with the ones that spin in opposite direction. That is both due to small ‘walls’ in the Clear Wheels where the hooks of the launcher are supposed to be inserted, and another, parallel wall on the Metal Wheel that prevents the opposite spin launcher’s hooks from getting under the Clear Wheel. In other words, at the moment, the Lightning Metal Wheel and the L Drago Clear Wheel can only go together, while all the other Clear Wheels and Metal Wheels are interchangeable amongst each other.<br />
<br />
===Types===<br />
There are four different types of MFBs:<br />
*[[Survival | Stamina]]<br />
*[[Balance]]<br />
*[[Attack]]<br />
*[[Defense]]<br />
<br />
These can be easily compared to the types of the plastic generation, the only difference being that survival/endurance is being called stamina.<br />
<br />
===Size Difference===<br />
Metal Fight Beyblade's are smaller than [[Plastic Beyblade | plastic generation]] Beyblades, and about the same size as those of the [[HMS]] series.<br />
<br />
==Shooter and Beypointer==<br />
[[Image:BeypointerShooter_800x600.jpg|thumb|MFB Shooter with Beypointer attached]]<br />
There are currently three types of launchers: the Right Launcher; the [[BeyLauncher]], a string shooter which allows for a more powerful launch; and the Beylauncher-L (also called Launcher L), which is exclusive to left-spin beyblades and is only sold with L- Drago 105F ,Lightning L-Drago 100HF, and Meteo L-Drago LW105LF.A [[MFB Shooter#Beypointer | Beypointer]] was also released as a device that records your points from battles, and a few accessories were developed to help ease the player's grip on the launchers.<br />
<br />
==Stadiums==<br />
Multiple stadiums have been released, some of which are comparable to the Takara HMS ones, and others that are more innovative like Wide Square and Super Attack.<br />
The BB-10 Super attack stadium is recommended by most.<br />
<br />
==WBBA==<br />
The WBBA (World Beyblade Battle Association) is an association being run by TAKARA-TOMY to promote Metal Fight Beyblade, by holding tournaments and giving away prizes to Beybladers who achieve a certain amount of points using the Beypointer.<br />
<br />
WBBA shops can be found in numerous Japanese toy stores. These give access to a Bey Tai 1 arcade machine, which allows players to test beyblades and win prizes.<br />
<br />
===Limited===<br />
[[Image:Wbbadragon.jpg|thumb| WBBA Limited Beyblade, Quetzalcoatl]]<br />
*TAKARA-TOMY also released BB-00 Pegasis Prototype. It is a silver version of Pegasis which is either without paint or simply bare die cast. Since it is event exclusive, this Beyblade cannot be purchased officially through online stores. Japanese people could however easily get one by either going to the World Hobby Fair 2008 or by playing on the GanGan Stadium arcade machine (Bey Tai 1) and winning three consecutive matches. <br />
*TAKARA-TOMY will reward players in Japan a special, limited edition Beyblade (Quetzalcoatl 90WF (08/2008-08/2009) and Anubis (08/2009-08/2010)) for obtaining a certain amount of points (15000) through battling other players in the WBBA and collecting five sub-licence cards and getting a premium licence card.<br />

<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
Metal Fight Beyblade offers some very interesting customization possibilities and several beyblades can beat the best blades of the previous series at the moment. The important variety of parts that can be used even if the series is still young makes the game quite balanced because there are no ultimate combinations such as zombies. <br />

__TOC__<br />
<br />
==Face: Libra==<br />
The Face on this Beyblade depicts '''Libra''', the seventh astrological sign in the Zodiac. Libra’s symbol is The Scales, and this motif is featured on the Beyblade’s Face and Clear Wheel.<br />
<br />
==Clear Wheel: Libra==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 2.8g <br />
The regular release of Libra is a translucent green, featuring scales on opposite sides.<br />
<br />
===Mold Variations===<br />
The original mold of Libra does not fit Metal Wheels correctly, resulting in a loose fit and rattling. This is later rectified in the Hybrid Wheel Reshuffle Set (Stamina & Defense) release.<br />
<br />
==Metal Wheel: Flame==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 32.5 grams<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Use in Stamina Customization===<br />
''Flame Bull AD145WD'' is a competitive Stamina customization.<br />
<br />
==Track: Tornado 125==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1.7 grams<br />
T125 has four upward-facing wing protrusions spaced apart widely. The Track is designed to work in a similar way to DF145, although the effect it produces is negligible. The performance of this Track is similar to D125, and as a height, is generally overshadowed by CH120.<br />
'''<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Use in Attack Customization ===<br />
T125 can be utilised in the combo - ''MF Gravity Perseus T125 RF''.<br />
<br />
==Bottom: Eternal Sharp==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1.0 grams<br />
The eternal sharp tip was released as Eternal Spike by Hasbro. The Eternal Sharp tip features a free-spinning tip attached to a metal shaft which is held by the Bottom. The part was one of the most heavily anticipated parts in the MFB lineup when first announced, but ES is actually a hugely disappointing part in terms of performance.<br />
<br />
Firstly, ES lacks a metal bearing, which would significantly reduce the friction between the free-spinning tip and the rest of the Bottom. All of the best free-spinning tips, notably [[Wolborg MS#Running Core (RC): Bearing Core | Bearing Core]], had NSK Shield bearings which allowed unhindered spin.<br />
<br />
Secondly, the tip shape of ES is not conducive to optimum [[Survival | Stamina]]; the sharp nature of the Bottom means it is easily destabilized. As all Sharp tips do, Eternal Sharp also has trouble regaining balance, hence making this a poor choice for Stamina. That said, ES still remains superior to BS and S as Stamina Bottoms.<br />
<br />
==Other Versions==<br />
*'''Flame Libra DF145BS''' – Hybrid Wheel Reshuffle Set (Stamina & Defense) (Dark Brown)<br />
*'''Storm Libra 145S''' – [[Random Booster Vol.4 Mirage Virgo]] (Purple)<br />
*'''Rock Libra 100WD''' – Random Booster Vol.4 Mirage Virgo (Light Blue)<br />
*'''Dark Libra ED145SD''' – Faceoff: Metal Wing Smash (Painted parts,White)<br />
*'''Infinity Libra GB145S''' –[[WBBA Exclusive]]<br />

<br />
==Overall==<br />
'''Flame Libra T125ES''' only adequate part is Flame, which can be obtained from the infinitely more useful [[Flame Sagittario C145S]]. As a result, you should only buy this Beyblade for collection purposes.<br />

<br />
Pegasus 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]].<br />
<br />
==Face==<br />
The face on this Beyblade depicts a Pegasus, one of the 88 constellations in space.<br />
<br />
==Wheel==<br />
<br />
* ''Design change: The original design of Pegasus (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.''<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 36 Grams<br />
<br />
* '''Maximum Outer Diameter:''' Close Approximate 44.40 Millimeters<br />
<br />
* '''Maximum Height:''' Close Approximate 12.16 Millimeters<br />
<br />
Pegasus consists of a three-winged design, much like the latter HWS version. Each of the protrusions has a flat front that connects each other. The protrusions slightly curve upwards, with 2 pointed ridges near the end. <br />
<br />
The Pegasus wheel was one of the strongest parts at the release of MFB. Its original design appeared extremely offensive, but it was later changed to the above design (see above), possibly due to concerns over breakage. <br />
<br />
Although outclassed, it has some use in the [[Smash Attack]] customisation MF Pegasus 145/85RF.<br />
<br />
==Track: 105==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1 gram<br />
This track is currently the fourth lowest track available, but is outclassed in terms of [[Attack]] and [[Survival | Stamina]] by the 85, 90, and 100 Tracks. 105 has no problem with floor scrapes, but still is an outclassed part and should only be chosen when none of the aforementioned Tracks are available.<br />
<br />
==Bottom: Flat==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1 gram<br />
The Flat Bottom has a plastic flat tip, which gives it an offensive movement pattern. It is the equivalent of Flat Core ([[HMS]]) or SG Flat ([[Plastic Beyblade |Plastic]]). The F bottom has a hard time retaining a flower pattern, due to it being plastic, which results in it having less grip to the stadium floor than a rubber bottom. F has been overshadowed by countless other [[Attack]] Bottoms such as WF, RF, and R2F.<br />
<br />

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.''<br />
<br />
* '''Weight:''' 36 Grams<br />
<br />
* '''Maximum Outer Diameter:''' Close Approximate 44.40 Millimeters<br />
<br />
* '''Maximum Height:''' Close Approximate 12.16 Millimeters<br />
<br />
Pegasus consists of a three-winged design, much like the latter HWS version. Each of the protrusions has a flat front that connects each other. The protrusions slightly curve upwards, with 2 pointed ridges near the end. <br />
<br />
The Pegasus wheel was one of the strongest parts at the release of MFB. Its original design appeared extremely offensive, but it was later changed to the above design (see above), possibly due to concerns over breakage. <br />
<br />
Although outclassed, it has some use in the [[Smash Attack]] customisation MF Pegasus 145/85RF.<br />
<br />
==Track: 105==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1 gram<br />
This track is currently the fourth lowest track available, but is outclassed in terms of [[Attack]] and [[Survival | Stamina]] by the 85, 90, and 100 Tracks. 105 has no problem with floor scrapes, but still is an outclassed part and should only be chosen when none of the aforementioned Tracks are available.<br />
<br />
==Bottom: Flat==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 1 gram<br />
The Flat Bottom has a plastic flat tip, which gives it an offensive movement pattern. It is the equivalent of Flat Core ([[HMS]]) or SG Flat ([[Plastic Beyblade |Plastic]]). The F bottom has a hard time retaining a flower pattern, due to it being plastic, which results in it having less grip to the stadium floor than a rubber bottom. F has been overshadowed by countless other [[Attack]] Bottoms such as WF, RF, and R2F.<br />
<br />
==Other Versions==<br />
[[Image:Pegasus.jpg|thumb|150px|MF-H Pegasis 85RF]]<br />
* '''Pegasis 105F (Prototype)''' - BB-00 [[Metal Fight Beyblade#Limited | Pegasis Prototype]]<br />
* '''Pegasis 145D''' - BB-05 Booster Pegasis 145D (Black)<br />
* '''Pegasis 145SF''' - [[Random Booster Vol.1 Secret Aries]] (Red)<br />
* '''Pegasis 145F''' - Random Booster Vol.1 Secret Aries (Green)<br />
* '''MF-H Pegasis 85RF''' - BB-96 Beyblade Super Deck Set (Blue)<br />
* A purple Pegasus 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.<br />
* '''Legend Cyber Pegsis 105F'''- Uses a clear wheel<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Beylauncher.JPG|thumb|BeyLauncher]]<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
==Shooter==<br />
Instead of using a winder, like traditional shooters do, the BeyLauncher uses a string. Its design incorporates two indents on either side to help grip the shooter. The BeyLauncher can be seen as an upgrade to the HMS String Shooter; however, unlike the HMS String Shooter, which had to be wound around an axis manually, the BeyLauncher automatically retracts its string after being released. <br />
[[Image:Beylauncher L.JPG|thumb|BeyLauncher L]]<br />
===BeyLauncher L===<br />
The BeyLauncher was actually originally released as the BeyLauncher L, a left spin version of the launcher, with [[L Drago 105F]]. It has a larger, more intricately designed, comfortable handle than the right spin BeyLauncher, and also several notches on the indents of the shooter to assist in gripping it.<br />
<br />
===Beypointer===<br />
The Beypointer can be attached to the shooter, and it is used to keep track of your points. Every Blader begins with 1000 points. After each battle, the two players connect their Beypointers and each will lose/gain 10 points depending on if they won or lost. The Beypointer can also be connected to machines like the Bey Ta 1 and a Nintendo DS console through a Beypoint Reader, and it will keep track of all the points that are gained throughout those games. It is unclear how TAKARA-TOMY will prevent cheating using these because you could easily purchase two of them and connect them to get an infinite amount of points, and special Passwords were revealed at official events that can give a player from 100 to 500 points each. The Beypointer will not have much use outside of Japan however because the [[Metal Fight Beyblade#WBBA | WBBA]] (World Beyblade Battle Association) is only active in Japan at the moment.<br />
<br />
===Complaints about the BeyLauncher===<br />
The BeyLauncher has a fatally flawed design. Here is a run down of the problems:<br />
<br />
*'''Handle:''' The BeyLauncher handle can break or be pulled off under normal use.<br />
*'''String:''' The BeyLauncher string can come loose or break under normal use.<br />
*'''Prongs:''' The BeyLauncher prongs can break under normal use.<br />
<br />
Generally, the BeyLauncher is chosen over the MFB Shooter for its increased power when the handle is released after launching, but doing so often results in breakages due to the impact of the handle hitting the BeyLauncher. TAKARA-TOMY has recommended that the BeyLauncher be held as pictured [http://beyblade.takaratomy.co.jp/coution090729.html here], but this is extremely inefficient. And contradictorily, photos of TAKARA-TOMY employees have been posted on the official WBBA Circle showing them holding the handle in one of the "incorrect" ways. There is absolutely no way to achieve the full potential of the BeyLauncher using their suggested method, and even if you pull all the way to the end of the string without letting go, as they suggest, you run the risk of breaking the string. <br />
<br />
Possible solutions to these problems include, rubber cylinder or ball for a handle, as opposed to the current "T" design which flies around too much after it is released, often causing it to whip the user in the arm/hand. And for the prongs, they could be replaced with metal prongs, though the feasibility of this is questionable.<br />
<br />
===BeyLauncher Suspension===<br />
[[Image:BeyLauncherSuspension.JPG|thumb|BeyLauncher Suspension]]<br />
As a solution to the handle breakage issue in the BeyLauncher design, Takara-Tomy released an accessory called the BeyLauncher Suspension. This device attaches to the pre-existing handle of the BeyLauncher and contains a spring inside of it, as well as a re-designed ergonomic handle. This spring allowed the user to pull the launcher at full strength without releasing the handle since it would alleviate the stress from the internal launcher mechanism.<br />
<br />
To gain maximum power with the BeyLauncher Suspension, grip the handle naturally (not too firm, but firm enough to not accidentally let go). Then pull the cord back very quickly until it runs out and you feel the tension of the spring expanding. At that point just stop, but do not let go. Accidentally letting the cord go with the Suspension attached results in a weaker shot. <br />
<br />
For users with prior experience with the BeyLauncher this is a technique that will require some adjustment. There will be an initial inhibition to pull too hard for fear of breaking the internal mechanisms or string. Current usage has shown no issues with internal launcher damage, so don't be afraid to pull hard. Also, if you are having trouble, don't hesitate to try different launcher positions with the grip, some users have altered their previous setup with the addition of the Suspension for greater performance/comfort. <br />
<br />
It is important to note that this accessory ONLY addresses the string and handle breakage but NOT the prong breakage issues. For players who use the BeyLauncher as their primary launcher this is a MUST buy accessory. <br />
An Alternate Product has also been released called a Beylauncher Rubber, which practically serves the same purpose as a suspension.<br />
<br />
====Makeshift Solution for Handle Problem====<br />
Prior to the release of the Beylauncher Suspension some players devised a makeshift way of reducing the stress to the launcher. Simply attach an elastic around your wrist and the BeyLauncher handle, and the retraction that normally occurs will be minimized, and will basically stay in place until you move your hand back into position to launch again.<br />
<br />
===Hasbro's String Launcher===<br />
To both facilitate the grip around the handle and reinforce the latter, Hasbro's version features a longer plastic handle. However, the string is still the same length as TAkARA-TOMY's version: exactly 50 cm. That string is made of the same stronger material that the latest Beylaunchers got. While these changes offer a longer longetivity for this item, it may still break and the string can stop retracting eventually. <br />

[[Image: BeybladeMetalFusionLogo1.png|thumb|Beyblade: Metal Fusion logo]]<br />
In ''April 2008'', [[TAKARA-TOMY]] announced the return of the Beyblade toyline with a completely new series called '''Metal Fight Beyblade''' (MFB) in Japan, after having suspended production in 2005. This new series is targeted towards a whole new generation of kids. The first releases were in stores around ''August 9th 2008''. To gain a wider audience, a manga drawn by Adachi Takafumi, an anime and a Nintendo DS game that feature a whole new cast of characters have since been released, and sales have only been increasing. A new official organization called World Beyblade Battle Association (WBBA) constantly hosts tournaments in Japanese shops and in bigger events, such as the bi-annual World Hobby Fair. In a recent press release, TAKARA-TOMY indirectly revealed that Metal Fight Beyblade should be active, perhaps outside Japan, until 2012. <br />
<br />
Starting in ''spring 2010'', Hasbro will be distributing '''Beyblade: Metal Fusion''' in Canada, and ''fall 2010'' in the United States and UK. It is unknown at the moment whether other countries will get the new beyblades around the same time. <br />
Starting around this fall, Hasbro will be releasing '''Beyblade metal masters''' world wide, the release dates for each country are unknown<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
==Components of MFBs==<br />
[[Image:MFBparts.jpg|thumb| Components of MFB]]<br />
[[Image:MFBchart.jpg|thumb|MFB Chart]]<br />
Before the beginning of the anime in April 2009, Metal Fight Beyblades were constituted of four parts: <br />
*'''Face/Face Bolt:''' Hexagonal screw-like piece that fastens the Beyblade together, similar to [[Bit Protector]] from the [[HMS]]. They feature graffiti-style illustrations on the top (i.e. Bull, Pegasis, etc). With the introduction of the Hybrid Wheel System also came the Metal Faces, which are 3.5 grams heavier than normal Faces, therefore they help add weight to a Beyblade. After BB-27, Faces have become blank and stickers now have to be added on them. <br />
*'''Wheel:''' Main source of attack from a Beyblade; unlike HMS, the Wheel is completely made out of metal to compensate for the lack of a Weight Disk. They use various shaped protrusions to lower the [[spin velocity]] of an opponent. The Wheel is fundamentally the same as the Attack Ring from the HMS and [[Plastic Beyblade | plastic Beyblades]]. The shooter connects directly to the Wheel and does not depend on the Face or the Track for a solid connection. The Wheel determines the spin direction of the Beyblade. <br />
*'''Track/Spin Track:''' The Track is the component of the Beyblade that connects the Wheel and Bottom. The Track determines the height of the Beyblade. Their names (when read with a decimal before the last digit) determine their height in millimeters. For example, Pegasis' Track is called 105, which stands for 10.5 MM. Some Tracks have gimmicks which help make multiple good customizations since some of them are significantly heavier than others, like Flame Sagittario’s C145 Track. <br />
*'''Bottom/Performance Tip:''' The bottom of the Beyblade. It has interchangeable tips which the Beyblade spins on. Movement patterns can be altered with the differently shaped tips that can be used. It is similar to the Blade Base from plastic Beyblades or the Running Core from HMS. The Bottom is indicated by the (sometimes two) last letter(s) of a Beyblade’s name: for instance, Capricorne 100HF, where HF is the Bottom and stands for Hole Flat. <br />
<br />
Faces and Bottoms are screwed onto the Tracks by using a Tool, which resembles an assembling key. One of its side is hexagonal-shaped to fit around the Face, and the opposite side is more round. <br />
<br />
===Hybrid Wheel System===<br />
Coinciding with the release of the anime in April 2009, a new system was introduced which has five components instead: the ''Hybrid Wheel System'' (HWS). The structure is very similar to the four-parts system, but it differs in that the Wheel is now separated into two: [[Image: hws.jpg|thumb| Hybrid Wheel System]]<br />
*'''Clear Wheel/Energy Ring:''' Upper part of the Hybrid Wheel which is made of clear polycarbonate, a kind of plastic that is supposed to be more resistant than normal. All plastic parts of a Metal Fight Beyblade are made out of that plastic. Unfortunately, most Clear Wheels rarely get to make a good impact in the game unless there is a significant height difference between two Beyblades; only the L Drago, Perseus and Meteo L Drago Clear Wheel obviously comes into play, as it is wider and that it actually extends to cover the Metal Wheel. However, Clear Wheels are mostly different because of their slight weight variations. <br />
*'''Metal Wheel/Fusion Wheel:''' As the name indicates, it is basically a thinner metal equivalent of the normal Wheel. The Metal Wheel mostly determines the weight of the Hybrid Wheel, as well as the type of attack of the beyblade because it is usually wider than the Clear Wheel. <br />
<br />
Together, the Clear and Metal Wheels’ weight is equivalent to that of a normal Wheel. Also, the Clear Wheel is the second part of a Hybrid Wheel name, while the Metal Wheel comes first: for example, Storm Pegasis – Storm is the Metal Wheel, Pegasis is made of plastic. <br />
<br />
TAKARA-TOMY has also been releasing Random Booster Light Volumes in which the Metal Wheels are replaced by Light Wheels: most of those are the plastic equivalent of already existing Metal Wheels, except Heat which only exists as a Light Wheel. There is no point in using Light Wheels competitively unless only that type of Wheel is used. Because of the huge drop in weight the different material causes, Light Wheel Beyblades do not spin for as long as normal Beyblades.[[Image:Spindirectionwalls.jpg|thumb|The walls that disable shooters of the opposite spin direction from working on certain Beyblades are circled]] In short, Random Booster Light Volumes are mostly an opportunity to get Clear Wheels, Tracks and Bottoms of different colours, or special parts that only come with the prize Beyblade of the Random Booster. <br />
<br />
A special note must be made about left-spin Wheels: not only do they require a special launcher currently not sold separately, but, in the case of Hybrid Wheels, left-spin Clear Wheels and Metal Wheels are incompatible with the ones that spin in opposite direction. That is both due to small ‘walls’ in the Clear Wheels where the hooks of the launcher are supposed to be inserted, and another, parallel wall on the Metal Wheel that prevents the opposite spin launcher’s hooks from getting under the Clear Wheel. In other words, at the moment, the Lightning Metal Wheel and the L Drago Clear Wheel can only go together, while all the other Clear Wheels and Metal Wheels are interchangeable amongst each other.<br />
<br />
===Types===<br />
There are four different types of MFBs:<br />
*[[Survival | Stamina]]<br />
*[[Balance]]<br />
*[[Attack]]<br />
*[[Defense]]<br />
<br />
These can be easily compared to the types of the plastic generation, the only difference being that survival/endurance is being called stamina.<br />
<br />
===Size Difference===<br />
Metal Fight Beyblade's are smaller than [[Plastic Beyblade | plastic generation]] Beyblades, and about the same size as those of the [[HMS]] series.<br />
<br />
==Shooter and Beypointer==<br />
[[Image:BeypointerShooter_800x600.jpg|thumb|MFB Shooter with Beypointer attached]]<br />
There are currently three types of launchers: the Right Launcher; the [[BeyLauncher]], a string shooter which allows for a more powerful launch; and the Beylauncher-L (also called Launcher L), which is exclusive to left-spin beyblades and is only sold with L- Drago 105F ,Lightning L-Drago 100HF, and Meteo L-Drago LW105LF.A [[MFB Shooter#Beypointer | Beypointer]] was also released as a device that records your points from battles, and a few accessories were developed to help ease the player's grip on the launchers.<br />
<br />
==Stadiums==<br />
Multiple stadiums have been released, some of which are comparable to the Takara HMS ones, and others that are more innovative like Wide Square and Super Attack.<br />
The BB-10 Super attack stadium is recommended by most.<br />
<br />
==WBBA==<br />
The WBBA (World Beyblade Battle Association) is an association being run by TAKARA-TOMY to promote Metal Fight Beyblade, by holding tournaments and giving away prizes to Beybladers who achieve a certain amount of points using the Beypointer.<br />
<br />
WBBA shops can be found in numerous Japanese toy stores. These give access to a Bey Tai 1 arcade machine, which allows players to test beyblades and win prizes.<br />
<br />
===Limited===<br />
[[Image:Wbbadragon.jpg|thumb| WBBA Limited Beyblade, Quetzalcoatl]]<br />
*TAKARA-TOMY also released BB-00 Pegasis Prototype. It is a silver version of Pegasis which is either without paint or simply bare die cast. Since it is event exclusive, this Beyblade cannot be purchased officially through online stores. Japanese people could however easily get one by either going to the World Hobby Fair 2008 or by playing on the GanGan Stadium arcade machine (Bey Tai 1) and winning three consecutive matches. <br />
*TAKARA-TOMY will reward players in Japan a special, limited edition Beyblade (Quetzalcoatl 90WF (08/2008-08/2009) and Anubis (08/2009-08/2010)) for obtaining a certain amount of points (15000) through battling other players in the WBBA and collecting five sub-licence cards and getting a premium licence card.<br />

<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
Metal Fight Beyblade offers some very interesting customization possibilities and several beyblades can beat the best blades of the previous series at the moment. The important variety of parts that can be used even if the series is still young makes the game quite balanced because there are no ultimate combinations such as zombies. <br />

==Conclusion==<br />
Metal Fight Beyblade offers some very interesting customization possibilities and several beyblades can beat the best blades of the previous series at the moment. The important variety of parts that can be used even if the series is still young makes the game quite balanced because there are no ultimate combinations such as zombies. <br />

In ''April 2008'', [[TAKARA-TOMY]] announced the return of the Beyblade toyline with a completely new series called '''Metal Fight Beyblade''' (MFB) in Japan, after having suspended production in 2005. This new series is targeted towards a whole new generation of kids. The first releases were in stores around ''August 9th 2008''. To gain a wider audience, a manga drawn by Adachi Takafumi, an anime and a Nintendo DS game that feature a whole new cast of characters have since been released, and sales have only been increasing. A new official organization called World Beyblade Battle Association (WBBA) constantly hosts tournaments in Japanese shops and in bigger events, such as the bi-annual World Hobby Fair. In a recent press release, TAKARA-TOMY indirectly revealed that Metal Fight Beyblade should be active, perhaps outside Japan, until 2012. <br />
<br />
Starting in ''spring 2010'', Hasbro will be distributing '''Beyblade: Metal Fusion''' in Canada, and ''fall 2010'' in the United States and UK. It is unknown at the moment whether other countries will get the new beyblades around the same time. <br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
==Components of MFBs==<br />
[[Image:MFBparts.jpg|thumb| Components of MFB]]<br />
[[Image:MFBchart.jpg|thumb|MFB Chart]]<br />
Before the beginning of the anime in April 2009, Metal Fight Beyblades were constituted of four parts: <br />
*'''Face/Face Bolt:''' Hexagonal screw-like piece that fastens the Beyblade together, similar to [[Bit Protector]] from the [[HMS]]. They feature graffiti-style illustrations on the top (i.e. Bull, Pegasis, etc). With the introduction of the Hybrid Wheel System also came the Metal Faces, which are 3.5 grams heavier than normal Faces, therefore they help add weight to a Beyblade. After BB-27, Faces have become blank and stickers now have to be added on them. <br />
*'''Wheel:''' Main source of attack from a Beyblade; unlike HMS, the Wheel is completely made out of metal to compensate for the lack of a Weight Disk. They use various shaped protrusions to lower the [[spin velocity]] of an opponent. The Wheel is fundamentally the same as the Attack Ring from the HMS and [[Plastic Beyblade | plastic Beyblades]]. The shooter connects directly to the Wheel and does not depend on the Face or the Track for a solid connection. The Wheel determines the spin direction of the Beyblade. <br />
*'''Track/Spin Track:''' The Track is the component of the Beyblade that connects the Wheel and Bottom. The Track determines the height of the Beyblade. Their names (when read with a decimal before the last digit) determine their height in millimeters. For example, Pegasis' Track is called 105, which stands for 10.5 MM. Some Tracks have gimmicks which help make multiple good customizations since some of them are significantly heavier than others, like Flame Sagittario’s C145 Track. <br />
*'''Bottom/Performance Tip:''' The bottom of the Beyblade. It has interchangeable tips which the Beyblade spins on. Movement patterns can be altered with the differently shaped tips that can be used. It is similar to the Blade Base from plastic Beyblades or the Running Core from HMS. The Bottom is indicated by the (sometimes two) last letter(s) of a Beyblade’s name: for instance, Capricorne 100HF, where HF is the Bottom and stands for Hole Flat. <br />
<br />
Faces and Bottoms are screwed onto the Tracks by using a Tool, which resembles an assembling key. One of its side is hexagonal-shaped to fit around the Face, and the opposite side is more round. <br />
<br />
===Hybrid Wheel System===<br />
Coinciding with the release of the anime in April 2009, a new system was introduced which has five components instead: the ''Hybrid Wheel System'' (HWS). The structure is very similar to the four-parts system, but it differs in that the Wheel is now separated into two: [[Image: hws.jpg|thumb| Hybrid Wheel System]]<br />
*'''Clear Wheel/Energy Ring:''' Upper part of the Hybrid Wheel which is made of clear polycarbonate, a kind of plastic that is supposed to be more resistant than normal. All plastic parts of a Metal Fight Beyblade are made out of that plastic. Unfortunately, most Clear Wheels rarely get to make a good impact in the game unless there is a significant height difference between two Beyblades; only the L Drago, Perseus and Meteo L Drago Clear Wheel obviously comes into play, as it is wider and that it actually extends to cover the Metal Wheel. However, Clear Wheels are mostly different because of their slight weight variations. <br />
*'''Metal Wheel/Fusion Wheel:''' As the name indicates, it is basically a thinner metal equivalent of the normal Wheel. The Metal Wheel mostly determines the weight of the Hybrid Wheel, as well as the type of attack of the beyblade because it is usually wider than the Clear Wheel. <br />
<br />
Together, the Clear and Metal Wheels’ weight is equivalent to that of a normal Wheel. Also, the Clear Wheel is the second part of a Hybrid Wheel name, while the Metal Wheel comes first: for example, Storm Pegasis – Storm is the Metal Wheel, Pegasis is made of plastic. <br />
<br />
TAKARA-TOMY has also been releasing Random Booster Light Volumes in which the Metal Wheels are replaced by Light Wheels: most of those are the plastic equivalent of already existing Metal Wheels, except Heat which only exists as a Light Wheel. There is no point in using Light Wheels competitively unless only that type of Wheel is used. Because of the huge drop in weight the different material causes, Light Wheel Beyblades do not spin for as long as normal Beyblades.[[Image:Spindirectionwalls.jpg|thumb|The walls that disable shooters of the opposite spin direction from working on certain Beyblades are circled]] In short, Random Booster Light Volumes are mostly an opportunity to get Clear Wheels, Tracks and Bottoms of different colours, or special parts that only come with the prize Beyblade of the Random Booster. <br />
<br />
A special note must be made about left-spin Wheels: not only do they require a special launcher currently not sold separately, but, in the case of Hybrid Wheels, left-spin Clear Wheels and Metal Wheels are incompatible with the ones that spin in opposite direction. That is both due to small ‘walls’ in the Clear Wheels where the hooks of the launcher are supposed to be inserted, and another, parallel wall on the Metal Wheel that prevents the opposite spin launcher’s hooks from getting under the Clear Wheel. In other words, at the moment, the Lightning Metal Wheel and the L Drago Clear Wheel can only go together, while all the other Clear Wheels and Metal Wheels are interchangeable amongst each other.<br />
<br />
===Types===<br />
There are four different types of MFBs:<br />
*[[Survival | Stamina]]<br />
*[[Balance]]<br />
*[[Attack]]<br />
*[[Defense]]<br />
<br />
These can be easily compared to the types of the plastic generation, the only difference being that survival/endurance is being called stamina.<br />
<br />
===Size Difference===<br />
Metal Fight Beyblade's are smaller than [[Plastic Beyblade | plastic generation]] Beyblades, and about the same size as those of the [[HMS]] series.<br />
<br />
==Shooter and Beypointer==<br />
[[Image:BeypointerShooter_800x600.jpg|thumb|MFB Shooter with Beypointer attached]]<br />
There are currently three types of launchers: the Right Launcher; the [[BeyLauncher]], a string shooter which allows for a more powerful launch; and the Beylauncher-L (also called Launcher L), which is exclusive to left-spin beyblades and is only sold with L- Drago 105F ,Lightning L-Drago 100HF, and Meteo L-Drago LW105LF.A [[MFB Shooter#Beypointer | Beypointer]] was also released as a device that records your points from battles, and a few accessories were developed to help ease the player's grip on the launchers.<br />
<br />
==Stadiums==<br />
Multiple stadiums have been released, some of which are comparable to the Takara HMS ones, and others that are more innovative like Wide Square and Super Attack.<br />
The BB-10 Super attack stadium is recommended by most.<br />
<br />
==WBBA==<br />
The WBBA (World Beyblade Battle Association) is an association being run by TAKARA-TOMY to promote Metal Fight Beyblade, by holding tournaments and giving away prizes to Beybladers who achieve a certain amount of points using the Beypointer.<br />
<br />
WBBA shops can be found in numerous Japanese toy stores. These give access to a Bey Tai 1 arcade machine, which allows players to test beyblades and win prizes.<br />
<br />
===Limited===<br />
[[Image:Wbbadragon.jpg|thumb| WBBA Limited Beyblade, Quetzalcoatl]]<br />
*TAKARA-TOMY also released BB-00 Pegasis Prototype. It is a silver version of Pegasis which is either without paint or simply bare die cast. Since it is event exclusive, this Beyblade cannot be purchased officially through online stores. Japanese people could however easily get one by either going to the World Hobby Fair 2008 or by playing on the GanGan Stadium arcade machine (Bey Tai 1) and winning three consecutive matches. <br />
*TAKARA-TOMY will reward players in Japan a special, limited edition Beyblade (Quetzalcoatl 90WF (08/2008-08/2009) and Anubis (08/2009-08/2010)) for obtaining a certain amount of points (15000) through battling other players in the WBBA and collecting five sub-licence cards and getting a premium licence card.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
==Face: Sagittario==<br />
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Sagittarius, the ninth astrological sign in the zodiac. Sagittarius is the Archer, and this motif is prevalent in its Wheel’s design.<br />
This Face is manufactured as blank, and comes with 2 Face Stickers.<br />
<br />
==Clear Wheel: Sagittario==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 2.8g <br />
The regular release of Sagittario is a yellow, translucent piece. It has several notches and protrusions. The design is loosely based on the original Sagittario, which features the two bow and arrows.<br />
Sagittario is Right Spin only.<br />
<br />
==Metal Wheel: Flame==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 32.5 grams<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Use in Stamina Customization===<br />
''Flame Bull DF145SD'' was a competitive Stamina customization, however it has been outclassed by Burn Bull DF145SD.<br />
<br />
==Track: Claw 145==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 3.2 grams<br />
C145 has three wings which extend outwards, each separately joined onto the underside of the Track. These are free moving, and hence when the Beyblade is launched, these point outwards due to spin velocity. Their free moving nature make them very effective for defensive purposes, as they are able to withstand low hits to the Track without significant spin loss. Furthermore, the Track is significantly heavier than non-gimmicked Tracks such as 145, providing extra weight essential for [[Defense]]. As such, the Track is an essential part for current Defense customizations. But as the beyblade wobbles, the claws might have impact with the floor causing loss of balance, severe loss of stamina or resulting in the beyblade stops spinning.<br />
<br />
===Use in Defense Customization===<br />
When used in ''MF Earth Bull C145WB'', the “claws” which extend outwards provide a very significant protection against low attackers such as ''Quetzalcoatl 90RF''. However, low attackers such as Quetzalcoatl 90RF have been outclassed, therefore C145 sees very little use, and has been replaced as a top-tier defence track by R145.<br />
<br />
==Bottom: Sharp==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 0.6 grams<br />
Sharp was released as Spike in the Hasbro release.The Sharp Bottom offers very little movement and as such provides no attack potential. The pointed tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of [[spin velocity]]. However, due to the fine nature of the tip, the Bottom is easily knocked off balance, and hence is outclassed by superior alternatives such as D or SD.<br />
<br />
==Other Versions==<br />
*'''Clay Sagittario 145B''' – [[Random Booster Light Vol. 2 Wind Aquario 100HF/S]] (Turquoise)<br />
*'''Mad Sagittario DF145HF''' – [[Random Booster Light Vol. 2 Wind Aquario 100HF/S]] (Red)<br />
*'''Storm Sagittario 145SD''' – [[Random Booster Vol. 3 Stardust Pegasis]] (Light Orange)<br />
*'''Dark Sagittario WD145SD''' – [[Random Booster Vol. 3 Stardust Pegasis]] (Turquoise)<br />
*'''Mad Sagittario C145SD''' - [[Random Booster Light Vol. 3 Clay Aries ED145B]] (Bright Red)<br />
*'''Wind Sagittario 100SD''' - [[Random Booster Light Vol. 3 Clay Aries ED145B]] (Clear Blue)<br />
*'''Flame Sagittario C145S - [[Faceoff:Sagittario Flame Claw ]] (Red Painted Parts)<br />

<br />
==Overall==<br />
Flame, as a Wheel, is a decent [[Survival|Stamina]] part, but the most important part by far of this Beyblade is C145. It offers unrivaled [[Defense]] capabilities against low [[Attack]] types, however, there is a lack of low top-tier attack type combinations in the MFB metagame, causing it to be outclassed. '''This Beyblade should only be bought for personal or collection purposes.'''<br />

==Face: Sagittario==<br />
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Sagittarius, the ninth astrological sign in the zodiac. Sagittarius is the Archer, and this motif is prevalent in its Wheel’s design.<br />
This Face is manufactured as blank, and comes with 2 Face Stickers.<br />
<br />
==Clear Wheel: Sagittario==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 2.8g <br />
The regular release of Sagittario is a yellow, translucent piece. It has several notches and protrusions. The design is loosely based on the original Sagittario, which features the two bow and arrows.<br />
Sagittario is Right Spin only.<br />
<br />
==Metal Wheel: Flame==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 32.5 grams<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Use in Stamina Customization===<br />
''Flame Bull DF145SD'' was a competitive Stamina customization, however it has been outclassed by Burn Bull DF145SD.<br />
<br />
==Track: Claw 145==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 3.2 grams<br />
C145 has three wings which extend outwards, each separately joined onto the underside of the Track. These are free moving, and hence when the Beyblade is launched, these point outwards due to spin velocity. Their free moving nature make them very effective for defensive purposes, as they are able to withstand low hits to the Track without significant spin loss. Furthermore, the Track is significantly heavier than non-gimmicked Tracks such as 145, providing extra weight essential for [[Defense]]. As such, the Track is an essential part for current Defense customizations. But as the beyblade wobbles, the claws might have impact with the floor causing loss of balance, or the beyblade stops spinning.<br />
<br />
===Use in Defense Customization===<br />
When used in ''MF Earth Bull C145WB'', the “claws” which extend outwards provide a very significant protection against low attackers such as ''Quetzalcoatl 90RF''. However, low attackers such as Quetzalcoatl 90RF have been outclassed, therefore C145 sees very little use, and has been replaced as a top-tier defence track by R145.<br />
<br />
==Bottom: Sharp==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 0.6 grams<br />
The Sharp Bottom offers very little movement and as such provides no attack potential. The pointed tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of [[spin velocity]]. However, due to the fine nature of the tip, the Bottom is easily knocked off balance, and hence is outclassed by superior alternatives such as D or SD.<br />

==Overall==<br />
Flame, as a Wheel, is a decent [[Survival|Stamina]] part, but the most important part by far of this Beyblade is C145. It offers unrivaled [[Defense]] capabilities against low [[Attack]] types, however, there is a lack of low top-tier attack type combinations in the MFB metagame, causing it to be outclassed. '''This Beyblade should only be bought for personal or collection purposes.'''<br />

==Overall==<br />
Flame, as a Wheel, is a decent [[Survival|Stamina]] part, but the most important part by far of this Beyblade is C145. It offers unrivaled [[Defense]] capabilities against low [[Attack]] types, however, there is a lack of low top-tier attack type combinations in the MFB metagame, causing it to be outclassed. '''This Beyblade should only be bought for personal or collection purposes.'''<br />
