==Face: Wolf==<br />
The face on this Beyblade depicts Lupus, one of the 88 constellations in space.<br />
<br />
==Clear Wheel: Wolf==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 3 grams<br />
The original release of Wolf is a dark brown, translucent plastic wheel. The edges of the Clear Wheel consists of 4 wolf 'heads', one in each quarter of the clear wheel, representing the body form of a Wolf, the symbol its design is influenced by.<br />
<br />
==Metal Wheel: Dark==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 31.4 grams<br />
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: 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. There is thus no reason to use Dark in any competitive situation whatsoever.<br />
<br />
==Track: Down Force 145==<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|<font size="1"><b>Height:</b></font><br />
|<font size="1">14.50 mm</font><br />
|}<br />
<br />
DF145 has four upward facing wings protruding from the top of the Track, which aside from giving it extra weight are meant to push air downwards. It is on par with 145, while [[Gravity Perseus AD145WD#Track: Armor Defense 145 | AD145]] is superior by a small margin when used in Stamina combinations.<br />
<br />
===Use in Stamina Customization===<br />
If the aforementioned parts aren't accessible, DF145 can still be put to good use in the custom, ''Scythe Kronos DF145WD''.<br />
<br />
==Bottom: Flat Sharp== <br />
*'''Weight:''' 0.6 grams<br />
FS features a flat tip with a smaller, sharper tip in the centre. As a result, when launched at a straight angle, the Beyblade spins on this sharp tip, with very little movement. However, when tilted, either from the contact of an opposing Beyblade or from the launch, the Bottom moves in an offensive pattern. However, it suffers from the same problems as other Balance Bottoms, in that the two qualities are compromised, resulting in mediocre performance in both fields.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''''Note:''' Earth Virgo GB145BS was originally released as the "Rare" Beyblade in [[Random Booster Vol.4 Mirage Virgo]]. It has since become more easily obtainable in the Starter version released by SonoKong and the Booster version released by Hasbro.''<br />
<br />
==Face: Virgo==<br />
The Face depicts Virgo, the sixth astrological sign of the Zodiac.<br />
<br />
==Clear Wheel: Virgo==<br />
*'''Weight:''' 2.8 grams<br />
Virgo was first released in a translucent yellow tint. Virgo has a smooth, easily flowing design to emulate a woman's hair, and features a small notch on both sides.<br />
<br />
==Metal Wheel: Earth==<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|}<br />
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, [[Defense]]-oriented Wheel available for competitive play. However, it has since been severely outclassed by the extremely heavy [[Basalt Horogium 145WD#Metal Wheel: Basalt | Basalt]].<br />
<br />
===IMPORTANT: Mold Variations===<br />
[[Image:10EarthAquila.JPG|thumb|Earth Metal Wheel (second mold)]]<br />
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]].<br />
<br />
===Use in Defense Customization===<br />
Earth is best utilized in the [[Defense]] customization, ''MF-H Earth Bull GB145RS''. The heavy weight of the Metal Face, and GB145 make it difficult to knock around, and GB145 provides exceptional Defense against low Attackers such as Vulcan Horseus 85R2F. And to top it off, RS is able to withstand powerful Attacks due to the strong grip created by the sharp, rubber tip.<br />
<br />
===Use in Stamina Customization===<br />
Earth also has exceptional [[Survival | Stamina]] capabilities and can be utilized in the Stamina custom ''Earth Bull AD145SD'' or the Stamina custom ''Earth Bull AD145WD''.<br />
<br />

|<font size="1"><b>Metal Balls Diameter:</b></font><br />
|<font size="1">5.0 mm</font><br />
|}<br />
<br />
GB145 is a wide, round track featuring two free moving metal balls. These balls move toward the outside of the Track while spinning, causing additional spin retaining force, similar to [[Draciel Metal Ball Defenser]]'s Metal Ball Base from the [[Plastic Beyblade | plastic generation]]. Weighing in at 4.5 grams, GB145 is currently one of the heaviest Tracks available, and as such is useful in [[Defense]] customizations. At release, it was seen by some as inferior to [[Metal Fight Beyblade - Track List#C145: Claw 145 | C145]] due to the lack of energy-absorbing free spinning wings, making it not as effective as against low attackers such as [[Quetzalcoatl 90WF#Wheel: Quetzalcoatl | Quetzalcoatl]] 90RF, which were popular at the time.<br />
<br />
Where GB145 does shine is when it is utilized in Defense customizations against high CH120-based Attackers, such as MF [[Lightning L Drago 100HF | Lightning L Drago]] CH120RF. These types of Attackers do not aim to hit the Track, and thus the free spinning wings of C145 are not necessary, and you instead get a significant increase in the overall weight of the customization. However, it has been outclassed for Defense customizations by [[Metal Fight Beyblade - Track List#BD145: Boost Disk 145|BD145]] and [[Metal Fight Beyblade - Track List#TH170: Triple Height 170|TH170]].<br />
<br />
===Use in Defense Customization===<br />
GB145 can be utilized in the [[Defense]] customization ''MF-H Basalt/Earth Aquario GB145RS''. The Bull Clear Wheel may also be used as a substitute if Aquario is unavaliable.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
BS offers very little movement and 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]]. BS has decent [[Survival | Stamina]], but it experiences the balance issues that the S series bottoms share because its tip is so fine. D, WD and SD are better choices.<br />

==Overall==<br />
'''Earth Virgo GB145BS''' has many positive attributes. Earth is a wheel with great [[Defense]] and [[Survival | Stamina]], and GB145 is an extremely useful Track for Defense. While BS leaves much to be desired, Earth and GB145 more than make up for it. '''Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade'''.<br />
