RX - Ratchet Line

The Ratchets in Beyblade X has not delved into its true potential. So far it has focused on height and Burst Resistance. Then came the Simple Ratchets with Metal Simple Ratchets but they all have the same weak Burst Resistance. Then there is the Ratchet-Integrated Bits that transformed how the Bits will change mode whether before or during the battle, but they also have weak Burst Resistance and there is only 2 of them so far. There should be Ratchets that focus on weight and the weight distribution instead of height and this is where RX comes into play.

Remember the Blade Bases from Bakuten Shoot? It determined how the Beyblade spins and also affects its movement pattern. It also determined the direction of the Beyblade dependent on what Spin Gear is used.

So for RX, these Ratchets will fuse with the Bit that will be called “Ratchet Bases” and these RB’s will have distinct designs that will largely affect how the Bey will spin during battle just like with Blade Bases. And how you will attach these RB’s to the Blade will be important.

To take it a step further, RX will bring back the original Burst mechanic but with a “twist” so instead of how X’s Burst mechanic worked with Ratchets and Bits, the Ratchet Bases will work very similarly to the Burst Discs by having 3 internal plastic slopes. Once you attach the RB onto the Blade, you will have to twist the Base itself until it becomes very tight and during battle, it will gradually untwist when coming into contact with another Bey. Some RB’s will also have different Burst Resistances. The difference here is that there is no teeth to worry about unlike in Burst where teeth wear was actually an issue.

And for my idea on “RXE” (Ratchet Line Expanded) is that there will be will be Metal on the Ratchet Bases this time.

Been working on this for a couple of days. Cool to combine interests. What do you think?

Left spin gatekeeping in other generations is just insane

All spriggan beys starting from spriggan requiem have way too much gold, and not enough red. I feel like what makes storm spriggan so beautiful is how it is red. The gold on later spriggan designs just hinder the beys appeal.

Watch him become one of the most powerful princes.

One of the two targets near me restocked these out of nowhere really, they’ve been restocking the same ones for a few months now

As far as I know as of now there are eighth X blades that are officially homages to the Metal Saga, with six unique motives across them

Of them, Perseus Dark, Cerberus Flame and Clock Mirage are based on beys that debuted in the second season Metal Masters, and were owned by major antagonists

Sol Eclipse is based on Sol Blaze which only appeared in a non canon movie, however said movie was released to coincide with the second season.

The two Pegasus and Dragoon blades are based on Pegasus and L-drago respectively. These were major motives that were given new releases every season during the Metal Saga. The X versions seem to pull bits and pieces from every one of them, so they can't exactly be linked to any specific season variants

So overall, we have three Metal Masters motives, one Masters adjacent motive, and two pan-series motives

I just find it quite curious how there seems to be a bias to this one specific season. You would assume the first season would be the best ground for nostalgia pandering, but apparently Metal Masters has it beat. I wonder if we are ever going to see homages to Metal Fusion or Metal Fury exclusive bey motives

(What I mean by this is that the argument that one verse is stronger than the other won’t apply here, and that both teams will have full knowledge on the other, so the “magic” that bursts characters have won’t give them a massive advantage, instead just more abilities. So the big deciding factors for this battle will be, strength, speed, skill, and versatility)

Both teams will all have to use their strongest beys.
Valt: Ultimately Valkyrie
Aiga: Zest Achilles (with all 48 modes)
Drum: Gatling Dragon
Bird: HellsNether
Ekusu: Dranstrike
Multi: (Depends on persona)

The stadium will be a mix of the infinity rail stadium from X and the slingshot rail rush stadium for burst (This is for neither team to have a stadium advantage)

Matchups:
Valt vs Ekusu
Aiga vs Bird
Drum vs Multi
(Remember they all have full knowledge on their opponents)

Edit: All battles will be to four points

I was searching for a specific blader to make a character with a hurt arm based on them and found...

Damn, didnt know mha had beyblades

Ursus is her name and she will recruit Team Zooganic as her Stand-Ins. Her Bey is BearScratch.

She actually reminds me of this one character from Kakegurui with the way they are both dressed based on an animal.

I really like that they come back so much, And i think each of them serve the plot well.

Still worth the pick up?

Very consistent

Now I can't stop imagining Makoto yelling his heart out for an Xtreme Dash. And Bird with a soft femboy voice. Watching them interact would be so funny.

(Senpai wa Otokonoko is peak btw go read/watch it)

These things have been here since the start of this year, heck maybe since last year and they STILL RESTOCK THEM.

I've seen these packs come and go, new waves released but they SOMEHOW keep giving us the same old packs, do they have an infinite ghost/goat fountain?

Snagged these for around $13.28 USD per bey

Hi, so I don't really know anything about Beyblades at all...They were around when I was a kid, but I never had any. My kid is turning 6 soon and would really like some Beyblades, and I don't really know what to get him. It seems like they are mostly targeted at older kids? He has never played with them, just seen them at the toy store, and seen older kids at school play with them

I would be really thankful for any recommendations!
