Then we can't see where we are launching.

Sarcasm ... dun dun dunnnn.

Also, this needs to be said (incase someone was getting the wrong idea):

THIS METAGAME DEVELOPMENT IS FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. ANY CONCEPTS/IDEAS WILL NOT BE INCORPORATED INTO THE WBO GAMEPLAY. THE WBO WILL KEEP IT'S SPINNING TOP GOODNESS!
Information from the reconstruction forum:

I'm going to do a simple cross-section drawing of the Beywheel Tangent Shell System parts assembly order. For reference purposes. Smile
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Shirayuki and Insomniac! No, the launchers have Left-spin prongs and spin left, and it is held so that the Attack Gear faces to your right and the part of the Spirit Axle with the wheel's insignia on it faces to your left, covered by the launcher.

In other words, put a Meteo L-Drago on it's launcher and tilt the launcher 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

I would assume these mean an overall bumpy ride Tired

Yeah, it actually does! I launched this thing a few times and as it rolls it kinda has this jiggly fast movement with some occasional bouncing.

Also, for anyone with questions on the launchers, I'm just gonna put all the answers here, wether they be answered or not.

1. These launchers DO NOT fit on MFB, the prongs are wide set apart

2. Every launcher for bey wheels is left spin.

3. The ripcord is a Light Launcher 2 ripcord, However the teeth are on the other side, and it WILL NOT fit in a LL2

4. They will not fit your launcher grip, though that is obvious by the shape.

If there's anything I missed, please tell me!

PS. I'm posting this just in case you feel like adding a Q and A section to the OP, Insomniac.
Well done Slee! I actually didn't know that the prongs were too wide!
Thanks everyone for the much valued information. I have added Slee's findings in the OP as well.

Damn, thats one hell of an OP Grin

Y'all voted for the second option (designing a new metagame). Do you have anything to bring to the table? Chocked_2

TriSix was able to buy a Doom Fire Drago. So we should have some raw test results/ performance portfolios up when people get the wheelz.

Info of the stadiums located! These are the stadiums for Beywheelz. They are the same stadiums, just a different colour. Comes out this Fall. Blue is Pegasus, red is L-Drago.

Um, also. Can any one enlighten me on the purpose of that small landing in the middle of the stadiums? Or is there no purpose? I'm a derp XD

Including the facebolt? I'd post this there but I figured I'd make this post worthwhile. Also, can you please take a picture of the bottom peice. I'd like to see the underside Eee

By small landing, are you reffering to the flat part in the center of the ground battle section, designed to reduce the advantage of a speed type by giving them a low grip zone, or the diamond shaped bit above the ramps? If it is the latter, I would assume that's to catch fallen beys after an aerial battle (possible if the two side ramps are used) but it's almost certainly highly ineffective.

Is it possible to prong swap with Hasbro ripcord launchers?
Yes, it is the diamond thing. Obviously ineffective because there is not a big chance that they will land right there and besides, the wheelz are quite big. I guess it helps for overall stadium stability. Also, if people have not figured it out by now ... clicking on the big picture in the OP is somewhat beneficial Wink
I found some new BeyWheelz. I'm not sure if you have or not. I've found 8 in all, but I only have 3 pictures.


I hope this helped. Sorry if any of the info changes.
Awesome finds!

I'm definitely digging the design on the Savage Blade Herculeo. I bet Raging Molten Fireblaze is gonna have some mad jelly of River Beast Gil's color scheme. I will inform AgentBlitz of these new releases and he will add their respective threads ASAP Eee

I like Hurculeo's design, aswell. I like Serpent's design, too. It took my awhile to find these. Apparently, there's gonna be a Wolf BeyWheelz, too. No info on that, but I'll look out for it. Smile
A lot of beywheelz have really cool "Spirit Guard" designs that should, IMO, be clear wheels.
I somehow see the designs creeping into Hasbro's Zero-G XD
IMO, Drago is overused. Lightning L-Drago. Meteo L-Drago. This drago, that drago ...

Oh and by the way, I think every pre 4D Beyblade will have some sort of a Beywheelz representation ...
And have these been released yet? If not, when? Because I'm usually able to find them very quickly, So I can do some practicing and morphing with the parts... I have a bro that could help out too...

With this, i could be able to post tests up in here...
The ones in the OP have been released. They're at my local Walmart. So yeah ...

Also, if you could -would you please weigh the parts too.

Other than general "roll" observations, I'm not sure what kinda "testing" would be done. If you end up getting some, make sure to note roll patterns.

I sure can do that. I also have a speedometer at home too, so I'll be able to measure some speed testing, too!

I better start looking!

Doom Drago is taken care of, so you don't have to buy that (unless of course you want to) XD

By general roll observations I'm saying like how the wheelz roll (bumpy? smooth? fast? wobbly?). Better yet, if you could just roll one and record it. So we can get a general consensus of how different wheelz work.

Sure thing, I know. I'll take care of it. Other people can help out, too...
Just got rampage stomper bull and slash warrior destroyer for my birthday. I dont have a stadium and my sister isnt thrilled about helping me do tests so...
I already saw all of these in the Walmart I got Kerbecs in. Savage is completely round, but there's huge gaps in between the faces, which is one of the reasons I've come to believe power types are meant to have weight and bounce.

Also, really like the design on Herculeo too. I had a hard time choosing between Kerbecs, Herculeo, and River Beast Gil for my only Beywheel. River has a really nice ornate segmented look to it, but I just kept looking at Kerbecs, and loving the awesome color scheme it had, as well as how all of the parts on it had something to do with kerbecs. Claw has those lumps with claw patterns going down the sides, and Shredder is designed to look like three dog heads.
