Thanks!
Metal Fight Beyblade or Beyblade Metal Fusion progressed into a second series known as Metal Fight Beyblade Explosion or Beyblade Metal Masters and then into a third in japan known as Metal Fight Beyblade 4D.
The first 2 Series are pretty much the same, just with different parts, but in the third series almost every Metal Wheel comes in mutiple parts, allowing a mode change, and many of them have track and tip fused into one "4D Bottom", often with a mode change aswell.
Series 3 is now being released by Hasbro under the name "Beyblade Metal Fury" but they have fused the Metal Wheels into single pieces and (by the looks of it) lessened their weight, aswell as replacing the 4D Bottoms entirely. It will be very different from the original japanese release.
Finally, japan is now getting series 4, Metal Fight Beyblade Zero G, in which the Metal Wheels, Clear Wheels and Face Bolts have an entirely new design and are now known as Chrome and Crystal Wheels and Stone Faces. The "Crystal Wheel" may be replaced with an additional, inverted "Chrome Wheel" in a method known as "Synchroming". The tracks and tips of these beys are the interchangeable with the old ones but are largely new parts designed specifically for use in the new tilting stadium.
