Sniper TM and Ultimate Kcpj
Thanks. I tries to give it a unique look. Took me a while.
Lol, did I start a chain reaction. I asked for feedback, and now everyone is!
@sridbey17
someone just stole the competition! AMAZING BEY, but you may lose points for using Nebular Hydra. Kinda the same thing as mine, but hey, adding a R could give you more creative points. Point is, NICE WORK!!

Face Bolt: Supernova
The Face Bolt depicts "Supernova", that is a stellar explosion that releases tremendous amount of energy. As with other 4D Face Bolts, it is 0.1 grams heavier than the original Face Bolts.
4D Clear wheel: Supernova
Supernova has a design which shows Gravitational collapse of a star. It is translucent blue in colour with red stripes at the boundaries of the clear wheel. The Energy Ring is heavier and stronger since it contains metal filings that give it a glittery effect and also the lope through which the facebolt gets inside is made up of iron ring which shows the highly compressed neuron containing core.
Fusion Wheel: Cosmic
The Cosmic Metal Wheel has a two parts metal frame and a core. It has a total of two to six major contact points depending on the mode used .It suggests that the Wheel possesses almost an incomparable amount of Smash Attack and in another mode great offensive characteristics. This Wheel is almost completely identical to the Vulcan Fusion Wheel, but is heavier and better for attacking and offensive nature. It will be considered one of the best right spin fusion wheels of all Beyblades if made in real.
Metal Frame
The Metal Frame has two walls with a square-like curve on each of them. There are also two smaller wings like protrusions sprouting out of the frame opposite to each other and at a angle of 90% if we take walls as a line which exactly fixes into the core. It is silver in colour. The two smaller wings like protrusions are major contact points of metal frame.
Core
The Core resembles the Big Bang Core but instead of three spikes it has two spikes. However these spikes are placed as two semi-circular prominences similar to Vulcan wheel.
It has a striking resemblance to the Vulcan Fusion Wheel with two sloped semi-circular prominences. It has two modes, "Berserk Attack Mode" and the other one that is "Ultimate defense Mode". In "Ultimate Offense Mode" the protrusions on one side turn into one sloped semi-circular prominence and in the "Berserk Attack Mode" metal frame and its protrusions gets seprated from the core and create a highly offensive wheel as it divides the sloped semi-circular prominences from 1 to 2 parts as they [wings like protrusions] are the center of the prominence. These modes can be switched by adjusting [rotating] the Metal Frame on the Core. It is smaller than the Hell Wheel but total of two semi-circular prominences and two smaller wings gives breath to its design
4D Bottom: Nova Core (N:C)
Nova Core is a 4d bottom and has a mode-changing feature as its mechanism is like final drive but instead of using centrifugal force it uses clutches that were used in engine gear in the old beyblade series. Arming the clutch reveals and locks the defense tip so that it can save its stamina and keep the bey in defensive mode too and when making contact with the opposing blade, the vibrations caused by the striking of the bey may release the clutch and thus, the defense tip will retracts leaving place to the Metal Flat .Metal Flat variant in the bottom is a wide Flat Tip made of Metal, which has replaced the rubber part of final drive giving it an offensive movement. However, since Metal has more friction than plastic tips it has more Defense and speed, however, unlike XF, and WF it can keep the sliding shoot's pattern and also MF has more stamina than RF/R2F/WF/F/XF/LRF/LF/Q. It circles around the stadium very fast. It is of a similar height to 135wd when the Defense Tip is out.
Idea and why I choose cosmic supernova:
Well when I was young I was very interested in the astronomy and specially blackhole which came into existence after the supernova. As the theme was space so the first think that clicked in my mind was supernova only so I choose to use it as a part of my bey and cosmic came into my mind from the term “cosmic rays†which are energetic charged subatomic particles, originating from outer space so I added it too as both the words when said with each other sounds good. I choose defense tip as a part of nova core cause the cycle of conversion of supernova into a black hole or a neuron star takes many years and metal flat cause the core of the supernova is very dense and also it is compared to the supernova explosion which releases tremendous amount of energy and often briefly outshines an entire galaxy, before fading from view over several weeks or months.
Special Thanks to:
A million thanks to kai-v and other mods for organizing such an awesome event, beywiki for giving useful information about different parts and gear system ,Akira’sdaddy for his vids which helped me to understand the mechanism of final drive and to google using which I checked out space related sites and got info about cosmic rays and supernova.

RE: Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space-Style! - NoodooSoup - Sep. 15, 2011
Alas, here is my entry!
Name: Retrograde Ouranos B:C
Type: Defense, Left Spin
Retrograde Ouranos B:C uses a new form of Beyblade. Just as there are Smash Attackers and Recoil Attackers, this bey is a Topple Defender. The beyblade purposely has an unbalanced clear wheel and an asymmetrical and angled Metal Wheel. This takes the advantage of low-defense combos, and takes it to a new level. With the unbalanced Clear Wheel, the blade starts to topple/wobble, as if it had a Sharp bottom. This is so the bey only needs to defend a small perimeter, without the need for a lower track or shorter bottom. When the beyblade is tilted at a 30° angle, the largest wall will be completely vertical.
The face depicts Uranus, the Greek deity of the Sky. It also represents the planet Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun. On the face, Uranus' planetary symbol is drawn, with a ring around it. This ring represents Uranus' asteroid ring. Above it, the name Ouranos is printed.
Weight: 2.9 grams.
The clear wheel, Ouranos, is very unbalanced. The weight distribution goes from top to bottom. At the top, or upper part of the Clear Wheel, it is the heaviest. Directly across from it, it is much lighter. This causes the beyblade to tip over a bit, thus making it a Topple Defender. This signifies how Uranus rotates on it's side, rather than vertically like all the other planets. The bumps on the clear wheel represent Uranus' rings, which are similar, yet not as visible, as Saturn's. It is a light blue color due to the fact that Uranus has a blue coloration, and the fact that it is the coldest planet in the Solar System. Also, just as Pegasis III has iron powder within the poly carbonate, Ouranos has glow-in-the-dark powder. This makes it glow in the darkness, which represents the fact that Uranus can be seen with the unaided eye (without a telescope). When paired with other Metal Wheels, it can be used efficiently in Upper Attack.
Weight: 31 grams
Retrograde is, as its name suggests, a Left Spin beyblade. The name Retrograde suits well with Ouranos because the planet Uranus, in fact, rotates in a retrograde or opposite way. It is also unbalanced and asymmetrical, just as Ouranos. The general design is a three walled design. The two walls on the lower part of the wheel are both symmetrical, and have the same slope. The third wall, on the upper part, has a higher slope, and it is angled. The design of the wheel consists of the walls, each with 7 "bumps", which represent how Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. The reason for the angle, which is 70°, is so that when it is toppling, the wall will be exactly vertical to the ground, for better defense. The word Retrograde is also engraved into one of the walls, similar to how Burn is engraved on the Burn wheel.
B:C stands for Balance Core, which is due to the metal rod and tip. It is colored a dark blue. It's size (not including the tip) is approximately the height of the 145 track. This bottom maximizes the potential for tilting attacks and gives the beyblade more stability. The way it works is similar to a Balancing Bird, because it makes the center of gravity the tip of the ball. Nearly all of the weight is concentrated on the very tip of the ball. Even as the rest of the bottom tilts, the rod and tip stay completely vertical, preventing it from self KO'ing itself by toppling too much. This weighted center can represent Uranus' core, which is the heaviest part of the planet. The reason for the ball tip is so that if it does get knocked heavily by an attack type, it can recover easily. It is one of the heaviest bottoms, due to being composed of a lot of metal.
So yeah, heavy on the symbolism What took the longest amount of time was the idea itself; hell, I didn't even think of the bottom until a few days ago! I tried to make something completely original, something that had never been seen in Beyblade before. I might win or lose, but either way, I had fun doing it Best of luck to the other people doing entries, too.
If you have any questions or stuff you're unsure about, comment on this thread or shoot me a PM. Thanks.
RE: Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space-Style! - Raigeko13 - Sep. 15, 2011
Great entry Noodoo! LOVE it!
Here's mine... Not that great o:
Face: Capricorne
CW: Capricorne (no photo, I couldn't draw it :/ )
MW: Colossal
I redesigned it after Fury and the original Capricorne Pre-HWS wheel! Much heavier, and the slopes are a lot better than their counterparts!
S:D (Spring Drive)
Capricorne has a bouncing gimmick, amirite? Not very original really, but this is designed after Trygle from plastics, which had a bouncing gimmick as well! The gimmick is whenever those two buttons are pressed, (or absorb enough shock from taller beys) they release the upper part of the bey in a slant upwards, to a height of 170 from 145!
PC Frame: Spike
Couldn't think of much, so I just drew this :p I like it. It's sort of like a Dragoon F AR! These "spikes" on the PC Frame stick out to blow a devastating attack to other beys. When other beys are lifted up the slant on Colossal, this gives a great attack for throwing beys out of the stadium. The PC Frame is reinforced with more metal and better PC (Polycarbonate) to prevent breakages, as without it breakages would be very common.
Don't expect to win, but hey, whatever lol
EDIT:
WHY.jpg
I just remembered a constellation I love... Ourobourous. FUUUUU-
RE: Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space-Style! - Mr. N - Sep. 15, 2011
Finally done… After toiling for days, I present to you… Sacred Nebula AR155VF! So let’s get started with the description.
Note – There is a 1/39 chance of obtaining a left-spin version of Sacred Nebula in its original release. There is no other way to obtain it.
Face: Nebula
This Face depicts the “Pillars of Creationâ€, a famous photo of a nebula. It also has a cursive N on it which stands for Nebula and is the way I’m signing my work.
Clear Wheel: Nebula
Weight – 3.0 Grams
This Clear Wheel depicts a supernova remnant, a type of nebula. The original release uses many colors.
4D Metal Wheel: Sacred
Weight – 44.2 Grams
Sacred consists of a Core, PC Frame and 2 Metal Frames.
Core
Weight – 15.3 Grams
The core is very thin and has no special design on it. The original release is black.
PC Frame
Weight – 7.9 Grams
The PC Frame was originally released in a red color, like Big Bang’s PC Frame. It can be flipped to change modes. Stars are made in nebulae and this PC Frame represents that. In the PC Frame, there are white balls of metal that shape the constellations Pegasus, Draco, Leo, and Orion. This is a reference to the anime; the Legend Bladers of the four seasons own Pegasis, Leone, L-Drago and Orion.
Metal Frames
Weight – 10.5 (each)
These Metal Frames are shaped to produce minimal recoil in Stamina Mode and are small. To switch modes, rotate each of them 180 degrees. These are the main sources of Attack but because they are fixed to one direction, VariAres has more use.
Modes
Stamina Mode
In this mode, the Metal Wheel is slants upwards and is very smooth. However, because the metal balls in the PC Frame causes imbalance, it has no use in Stamina. However, it does have use in Defense due to the extremely low recoil. The left-spin version is the first viable left-spin Defense wheel and can be used in the combo described below.
USE IN DEFENSE CUSTOMIZATION
MF-H Sacred Bull BD145CS/MB/RB is an excellent Defense customization and works well in both directions. The right-spin variant is more common due to the rarity of the left-spin version.
Upward/Downward Attack Mode
Sacred is in Upwards/Downwards Attack Mode when the thicker side of the Metal Frames are sticking out. To switch between the 2, flip the PC Frame to expose the upper part or the lower part. It has decent smash, but is outclassed by recent releases.
USE IN ATTACK CUSTOMIZAION
MF Sacred Nebula (Downward Attack Mode) 145R²F/LRF (depending on the version) and MF Sacred Nebula (Upward Attack Mode) 85R²F/LRF (depending on the version) are viable Attack combos and achieve decent win rates against top-tier Defense combos.
Multi-Attack Mode
This is the better mode of Sacred, when the thin sides of the Metal Frames are on the outside and the PC Frame is flipped upside down. This exposes all of the Smash Attack points on Sacred and can be used in the excellent Attack customization described below.
USE IN ATTACK CUSTOMIZATION
MF Sacred Nebula (Multi-Attack Mode) CH120R²F/LRF (depending on the version) has the same amount of smash as VariAres but lacks the multi-direction advantage, so it shouldn’t be chosen over VariAres.
CRAZY Mode
The worst mode of them all, this mode is when one Metal Frame is turned one way and the other is turned the other way. It has absolutely no competitive uses, though it is fun to play with.
Track: Aqua Ring 155
Weight – 5.6 Grams
This Track consists of a ring of water completely sealed by plastic. When a light is shined through it, the water refracts the light, making something that looks like a nebula on the stadium. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, it also has uses in Attack and Stamina due to the momentum. DO NOT USE IT IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES.
USE IN ATTACK CUSTOMIZATION
MF VariAres AR155RF is a very good Attack customization and can defeat top-tier Defense with no problems. It does have problems hitting LTDCs, so shouldn’t be used over CH120.
USE IN STAMINA CUSTOMIZATION
Scythe Kronos AR155EDS is very good in Stamina and can even take a few hits from low Attackers because the water can absorb hits.
Bottom: Varied Flat
Weight – 1.3 Grams
This Bottom is flat and made out of 3 materials: rubber, metal and plastic. It has random movement patterns and shouldn’t be used over RF because it has less traction and friction. It is fun to play around with though. If you like it, buy a lot of these because when the rubber wears away, this will perform something like a Q.
Images are below, though I must tell you that my art skills aren’t the best in the world and if you have questions, please ask me, and I’ll gladly answer you.
Well, I hope you all liked it. I didn’t have time to draw the assembled Bey, so if you want to see it you could PM me after the contest is over. Please give me feedback and good luck to you all!

RE: Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space-Style! - Rf3K - Sep. 15, 2011
tl;dr description + large images:
Finality Quasar DU145RC
[Image: Complete-ModeSample-1.png]
[Image: Quasar_Face-2.png]
Face: Quasar
The face depicts a stylized quasar, a compact area of high energy that surrounds a supermassive black hole.
[Image: Quasar-CW-2.png]
Clear Wheel: Quasar
The clear wheel features spikes and edges that emulate the energy of a quasar. Its shape allows it to be used with certain metal wheels to improve their contact points.
4D Wheel: Finality
Finality was designed with the idea of combining plastic and HMS generation aesthetics with the design features of MFB. It features edges and slopes similar to those of plastic gen beys, and the "metal orb" aesthetic found in many HMS beys among other design features. The wheel is split into three parts, PC fame on top, metal frame in the middle, and metal core on the bottom. The PC frame has one upward slope on either side, followed by a spike. The spike fits into the grooves of the other parts of the wheel, and serve no purpose other than for visual aesthetics. The metal frame is made up of two metal rectangular prisms with grooves on their inner side to allow the PC frames spike to fit in. The metal core is the skeleton of the wheel and provides a cradle for the PC and metal frames. Although the picture doesn't show it, there should be walls near the center of the core where the PC and metal frames would lock into place, similar to that of Beat.
By rotating the metal frame and PC frame around the metal core, two modes can be created:
-Upper Mode:
[Image: Quasar-MWUpper-2.png]
In upper mode, the slopes on the PC frame are exposed to provide upper attack. Because the slopes are made out of plastic, this produces plastic-on-metal collisions when it makes contact with the opponent's metal wheel, which allows it to lift up the opposing bey with minimal recoil.
-Smash Mode:
[Image: Quasar-MWSmash-2.png]
In smash mode, the blunt points of the metal frame are exposed to allow for strong smash attack. However, because of the 4D wheel's build, smash mode also produces high recoil, which can occasionally be strong enough to KO itself. To minimize this recoil, a MF is recommended when using Finalty in smash mode.
Finality's attack wings reach as low as Scythe's lowest point. This low height makes it possible to use Finality in the upper/smash attack combo: MF Finality Quasar 85RF/R2F.
Track: Defense Upper 145
DU145 is the spiritual successor to Driger V2's support part, Upper Attack. Unlike the Upper Attack SP, DU145's two modes are used for completely different purposes: upper attack, and defense.
[Image: Quasar-TrackUpper-2.png]
In upper mode, the track has a slope that provides for mediocre upper upper when used with any wheel. It reaches low enough that it can even upper attack BD145 in normal mode. When paired with Finality, the combination creates two sub-modes: upper smash, and full upper.
Upper smash mode is achieved when Finality is set to smash mode with DU145 in upper mode. In upper smash mode, Finality's metal spikes interrupt the upper attack produced by DU145, creating a different attack experience. Because the opposing bey would be partially lifted by DU145's slopes, this should decrease the opposing bey's defense, and increase Finality's smash ability.
Full upper mode is formed when Finality(upper mode) is used with DU145(upper mode). In full upper mode, DU145's slopes align with the slopes on Finality, increasing Finality's upper attack ability.
[Image: Quasar-TrackDef-2.png]
DU145 can be flipped, similarly to BD145, to create defense mode. In defense mode, the track produces a partial wall that covers part of the circumference the metal wheel. Like upper mode, defense mode creates two sub-modes when used with Finality: full defense mode, and semi-upper/defense mode. Full defense mode is created when Finality(smash) is combined with DU145(defense). In full defense mode, the metal wheel and track combination forms a complete wall. This wall is made of 50% plastic and 50% metal, which increases its ability to absorb hits from attacking beys. However, defense mode is not perfect. The slope on DU145 leaves a small gap in front of Finality's smash point, which would allow for a critical hit if an opposing bey were able to hit it. Semi-upper/defense mode allows for an alternative to avoid this problem. Semi-upper/defense mode is formed when Finality(upper) is combined with DU145(defense). In this mode, two nearly gapless metal walls are made by the metal frame and metal core, and there is a small, upwards moving gap between DU145's inverted slope, and the PC frame's slope. This combination of fullmetal wall and upper gap gives Finality DU145 improved defense, as well as the possibility of upper attacking opposing beys.
All the previously mentioned modes were for right spin. DU145 can also be used with left-spin beys. In left spin, "upper" mode would produce some defense against low attackers, and "defense" mode would be used to produce force smash. The dual-spin functionality of DU145 can be put to use in MF Gravity Perseus DU145CS/RC. Perseus's dual spin ability, size, and weight allow it to use all of DU145's modes effectively. CS and RC would be chosen based on your attack/defense/stamina preference. RC for more attack/defence. CS for defense/stamina.
Despite its uses, DU145 suffers from one major flaw: its depth. In upper mode, DU145 reaches as low as BD145, but it suffers from floor-scraping to a greater extent than BD145 because it has a greater radius at its lowest point. Because of this, using DU145 in upper mode with a low bottom is highly unrecommended.
DU145 also has some restrictions on the metal wheels it can be used with. The small bumps at the top of its upper slopes make it impossible for it to be used with extremely low-reaching metal wheels like Scythe. Other than it's obvious compatibility with Finality, DU145's defense mode is also restricted to being used with only small metal wheels, such as those from pre-4D era, because of the wall created by the inverted upper slope. Because of this, defense mode will not work with Hell and most of the 4D era wheels.
[Image: Quasar-Bottom-2.png]
Bottom: Rubber Change
Rubber Change is a bottom that can be used in two different modes depending on how it is launched. When shot with a regular launch, the bey will go into defense mode and sit near the center of the beystadium. The rubber of the tip gives it strong defense capabilities, comparable to that of RS and RSF. When launched with banking or a sliding shoot, the bey will go into attack mode, and is capable of following the "flower pattern" that is created by using a sliding shoot.
In a way, this bottom is similar to CS in that it can be used for both attack and defense. However, because it is completely rubber, RC has a lot less stamina than CS. When knocked off the center of the beystadium while in defense mode, the bey will be forced into attack mode and it will circle the stadium, greatly reducing its stamina.
For some reason, the color scheme ended up being Kamen Rider W, even though the bey has nothing to do with him..
RE: Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space-Style! - Janstarblast - Sep. 15, 2011
Whoa! Extremely good entries those!
@Noodoo- Great entry! I liked the Topple Defender idea! Quite similar to my wobble attacker idea.
@Raigeko- I liked the idea of Spring Drive!
Well, almost over! The contest will end in a few minutes, I suppose.. I hope I win at least something...
Everyone's appreciation will also be a great prize for me! But yes, I would love to have the set, but that is almosr impossible to get because of so many breath taking entries.
Lets see! All the Best to everyone!
RE: Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space-Style! - Deikailo - Sep. 15, 2011
I haven't seen all the entries so I have no idea if someone used any of my ideas. This took me forever to do and I JUST finished. Please take into consideration my theme over my drawing. I dislike it. :x
ENTRY: REVOLVE SPUTNIK F:L
FACE: Face depicts Sputnik, first Russian space shuttle. Throw the shuttle's frame and flames, Curly, the dog that was launched in the shuttle, is visible.
CLEAR WHEEL: The clear wheel (Sputnik) extends over the metal wheel and clasps onto the three points of the top metal wheel. Its center is smaller than most clear wheels. This clear wheel goes right spin, like Sputnik's orbit.
METAL WHEEL: The metal wheel comes in two parts with the PC Frame in the center. The top of the metal wheel can be flipped over to offer two different modes: orbit and landing. They each have a three piece fitting on the inner part of the metal wheel (like fang, but inside) with a curvature inward to create a cavity for the PC Frame. There are a total of 9 hatches at the bottom of the wheel to take away from the overall roundness of the wheel. This metal wheel is very light.- In Orbit mode, there is no hindrance to the PC Frame; it will freely rotate. This helps prevent attackers and spin-stealers.
- In Landing Mode, the top metal wheel is flipped to place metal bits in between the four points of the PC frame. This stops the PC frame from rotating and creates four stationary points on the wheel.
PC FRAME: The exposed points are coated in rubber with its main frame enforced with plastic. The rubber (in landing mode) creates a grip for spin stealing. Because the PC frame is so thin, it is prone to breaking in battle. This is how Takara Tomy would make a profit from this Bey.
F:L (FINAL:LAUNCH)Final launch acts like every other final 4D base as it is activated during the end of its life. It will shoot up an additional 70mm (going from height 150 to 220 using a spring release. At the end of battle, the user must pinch the base back to 150. This is ideal for beating 230's with an "upper cut", however, it throws the bey off balance significantly due to its low recovery rate and such a low velocity. Although the tip is red, it is not rubber; it is plastic. It's red to represent the flames of the ship during launch. The pink is for heated metal. The tip is wider so when you push it back in, you don't push it too far. It also (theoretically) should help re-stabilize after "launch".
Overall, I drew a lot of my inspiration from the newer 4D beys and gravity. It took all month to figure out how I was going to put everything together. I liked how the dog is at the center, riding sputnik. The metal wheel was painted a dark indigo to represent space and there are four points on the PC frame because there were 4 points on sputnik. Since it is a rocket ship Beyblade, why not incorporate a "launch"? ;)
NOBODY TELL ME I'M GOING TO WIN. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT UNLESS YOU'RE COMMITTEE. Everyone has done a great job and it's going to be a tough decision for the committee. There's no telling who's got this.
RE: Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space-Style! - Janstarblast - Sep. 15, 2011
Well, good idea, Dei! I really liked it!
Well, good way of making profit, eh? Reminds me of CH120's fragility.
And, Final Launch reminds me of Einstein MS's RC. But yes, this is completely different!
RE: Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space-Style! - Kujikato - Sep. 15, 2011
one word: AWESOMENESS it is really original! i like F:L the most, imagine that w/ Basalt would it work
RE: Face Contest: Design a Beyblade, Space-Style! - Deikailo - Sep. 15, 2011
Really? I think it reminds me more of Trygle's, but actually working...
Thanks, Jan!
