Hasbro will bring TAKARA-TOMY’s Metal Fight Beyblade toyline outside of East Asia by March 2010 for Canada, but in September 2010 for the United Kingdom and the United States under the name “BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion”.

They will start by only releasing the Hybrid Wheel System Beyblades. It seems they will never release the Metal series even if they acknowledge the four-layer system. Each Beyblade will come with a Right Launcher and a character profile card. The Light Wheels have been abandoned, therefore Clay Aries will be released by Hasbro as Rock Aries, for instance. Hasbro has decided to give new names to the Beyblade parts, notably Fusion Wheel (Hybrid Wheel), Spin Track (Track), and Performance Tip (Bottom).

It appears the Beypointer device has also been rejected. Instead, special codes found in all releases that include Beyblades will give players the opportunity to “compete against other Beybladers from around the world” on BeybladeBattles.com
More information about this new site is currently not available.

Hasbro has of course designed their own new Beystadiums, including the yellow Pegasis Thunder Whip and the Super Vortex Beystadium.

Electronic tops will also be released, and some of Hasbro’s old shooters will be reused. The Beylauncher will come out as a separate item and its handle has been slightly improved for an easier grip. On the subject of grips, the Launcher Grip will also be released separately, and it will automatically come with a Grip Rubber.


These will be the first types of releases:
