Face Bolt: Unicorno II
The Face Bolt depicts "Monoceros", one of the 88 constellations in space. Monoceros is Greek for "Unicorn" , in which the Beyblade is based on. The design resembles the design on the original Unicorno Face Bolt but has a more elaborate motif, featuring an angled lighting effect on the tip of the horn.
Clear Wheel: Unicorno II
-Weight: 3.27 Grams
Unicorno II resembles the original Unicorno Clear Wheel but wider with Iron powder scattered throughout it, as is common with 4D Beys. The three "horns" of the Unicorn motif are now purple instead of bronze, as they were on the original Unicorno Clear Wheel. As this CW is thicker, more elevated, and heavier than its predecessor, it should take priority when selecting a three-sided CW.
4D Metal Wheel: Blitz
-Weight: 43.72 Grams
This Metal Wheel is made up of two parts. A Core, which comprises the bulk of the Metal Wheel, and a Metal Frame, which facilitates the primary gimmick of this Metal Wheel: Mode Change. This is accomplished by rotating the Metal Frame while the Beyblade is disassembled. The two Modes are:
Assault Attack Mode
In this mode, the protrusions on each side of the Metal Frame fit against the six contact points of the Core, creating a single "Wing" on each side, forming a shape very much like Triple Wing (Trygle) from the Plastics generation.
Barrage Attack Mode
In this mode, the amount of contact points or "Wings" is doubled from three to six by rotating the Metal Frame. However, in doing this, the length of each wing is shortened.
Assault Attack Mode is usually the preferred mode of the two, as it is shown to have considerably lower amounts of Recoil, while providing more consistent contact force with it's longer, more pronounced wings. This Wheel has proven to be highly functional, and is considered a top-tier right-spin Smash Attack Metal Wheel, and is one of few Smash Wheels with the ability to net a solid KO even at a low spin-velocity. However, this Wheel also suffers from extremely high recoil, and falls prey to an outstanding weakness to Left-Spin Attackers such as Lighning L-Drago/L-Drago Destroy CH120/90/85/BD145RF.
Use in Attack Customization:
Blitz's Smash Attack can be used to great affect in the versatile Attack custom, MF Blitz Unicorno II CH120R2F.
Additionally, the low-profile combo, Blitz Unicorno II 85R2F has been discovered to capable of easily and reliably KOing MF-H Basalt Kerbecs BD145CS.
Metal Frame
-Weight: 12.65 Grams
The Metal Frame of this 4D Metal Wheel is the piece that acts as the primary mechanism behind its Mode Change. It has three small protrusions, which fit in with the gaps in the Core, and the protrusions are smaller than each protrusion on the Core.
Core
-Weight: 31.07 grams
Blitz's Core has three separate primary contact points, whereupon the metal slopes down and outward into a finer surface, creating "bumps" on the front-most portion of each wing segment. These slopes provide an advantage in the form of allowing maximum contact with the primary contact points, and often throwing the opposing Wheel slightly off balance when used on a lower Track.
Track: 100
-Weight: 1.0 grams
This track is currently the third lowest track available, but is outclassed in terms of Attack and Stamina by the 85 and 90 Tracks. 100 usually has no problem with floor scrapes, and while it is generally an outclassed part, is still competitively viable, particularly in Attack customizations where it is able to make good contact with most opposing Beyblades.
Bottom: Rubber Semi-Flat
-Weight: 0.7 grams
RSF, or Rubber Semi-Flat, is an SF Bottom completely made out of rubber. It is essentially a flat tip with a smaller radius, affording it a firm, defensive grip on the Stadium, but still allowing for a somewhat aggressive movement pattern with the proper launch. Its drawbacks, however, are that it has shown major weaknesses against Left-Spin Beyblades such as Lightning L Drago, much like RS. RSF, like most Rubber Performance Tips, suffers from poor Stamina, although it has been shown to have slightly more Stamina than RS, due to a wider surface area, resulting in better balance at the end of a battle.
Mold Variations:
RSF has one Mold variation. The RSF's included in Random Booster Volume.7 Beat Lynx, specifically with the Bey Tornado Horuseus 130RSF. This mold appears to be made of a softer rubber, and thereby behaves more aggressively than other molds. This should be taken into consideration when choosing a method of obtaining an RSF. The RSF included with Blitz Unicorno 100RSF is of the harder rubber variant.
Use in Defense Customization:
RSF can be utilized in the Defense customization MF-H Basalt Bull BD145RSF.
Overall:
-Weight: 49.89 grams
Blitz Unicorno has thus far only been released with the BB-117 Strongest Blader Set, and is clearly one of the best purchases for Attack-type enthusiasts favoring Right-Spin. Every blader should own at least one of this bey.

As this is a full re-write of KiLL_SwiTcH's draft, I figured it deserved its own thread. Comments, critique, etc. thoroughly encouraged and appreciated!
Alright, so I've gone through and made a number of edits, both content- and formatting-wise. If no one else has any suggestions, it should be ready! Whoever ends up posting this, please be sure to follow the same formatting that was used for the Death Quetzalcoatl stub with regards to the "Metal Frame" and "Core" sections, and the same formatting from the Hell Kerbecs article that was used for the different modes of BD145.
The pictures you took Hazel are OK to be posted as well. However, could you please re-take the pictures of the Blitz Metal Wheel? I'd like them to be from a top-down (for both the top of the Metal Wheel and the bottom of it) view like all of the other current Beywiki articles. And, could you do the same for just the Metal Frame and just the Core (bottom is not necessary for these).
One question, though: it states in the Blitz section that the Assault Attack Mode is the "usually the preferred mode of the two", but then never states where Barrage would be useful. I do not have a lot of experience with Blitz, so could someone enlighten me? Or is that false and should it be made clear that Assault Attack Mode is the best mode in all situations?
