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 in an improved design. It gives the face bolt a more edgy, flame-like design.

Clear Wheel: Unicorno II
-Weight: 3.27 Grams

Unicorno II resembles the original Unicorno Energy Ring but wider with an improved design and purple highlights replacing the bronze highlights on the original energy ring. The purple highlights resemble lightning, which is a representation of the beyblade's special move.

Blitz Metal Frame:
-Weight: 12.65 Grams

The metal frame isn't as light as the others in the 4D series, and that is in part that it is made out of metal, as opposed to plastic. It has two modes, Assault Attack Mode, in which the protrusions on one side turn into one large wing and Barrage Attack Mode, whereas the wings are separated. These modes can be changed by adjusting the frame on the metal wheel. Assault Attack Mode is usually the preferred mode of the two, as it is shown to have more smash attack.

Core: Blitz
-Weight: 31.07 grams

Blitz has a resemblance to Dark, with numerous spikes around the wheel.
Blitz is considered by many to be the best attack wheel, being able to KO Basalt Bull BD145CS/MB and other prominent defense combinations, even at a low height. Blitz has great smash attack and should be used competitively.

Use in Attack Customization:
Blitz smash attack can be used to great affect in the versatile attack custom, MF Blitz Unicorno II CH120R2F.

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.

Use in Stamina Customization:
100 can be put to use in the custom Scythe Kronos 100EDS (Stamina Mode).

Use in Attack Customization:
If 85 and 90 are not available, 100 can be put to good use in the combo MF Blitz Unicorno 100R2F.

Use in Defense Customization:
If 85 or 90 are not available, 100 can be put to use in the custom MF-H Basalt Kerbecs 100RS.

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 both Attack and Defense qualities. It moves in a more aggressive movement than SF because of its rubber material, but RSF has been tested primarily as a Defense Bottom due to its similarity to RS in its ability to grip the Stadium and prevent KOs from Attack types. Its drawbacks, however, is that it has shown major weaknesses against Left-Spin Beyblades such as Lightning L Drago, much like RS. RSF pales in Stamina when compared to WB, allowing Plastic and Metal Attack Bottoms to outspin it quite easily. Due to recent tests, RS has shown to be slightly better than RSF, having higher win rates for the most part in a series of tests comparing the two. With this said, RS should be bought over RSF as a Defense Bottom, making RSF outclassed.

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 only been released with the BB-117 Strongest Blader Set, but it is arguably the best attack wheel. Therefore, the set is a must-buy for attack-type bladers. The Blitz wheel has amazing smash attack and can defeat prominent defense combos. The 100 track can be used in place of 85 and 90, and RSF may be outclassed in terms of defense by CS and RS, but it is still a decent choice for defense. Every blader should own at least one of this bey.

I need some improvement in some sections, especially the metal wheel and metal frame. Bear with me, because this is my first draft ever.

You use Striker quite a lot, the name is 'Unicorno' on both. I have a question, do you own this bey? It usually helps to own it...
EDIT: Other than a few edits suggested, this is pretty good for a first draft. It'll obviously be changed here and there, but not bad, I guess.

First of all:
Use TT names. Not " Energy Ring", but Clear Wheel.
secondly:
There is no PC Frame.
Its just a Metal Frame and a core.

Nope, I don't anymore. And I made the edits.

I am not certain you should be writing articles if you do not know that the "PC" in PC Frame refers to PolyCarbonate, which is obviously a type of plastic. Every plastic part in Metal Fight Beyblade is made of polycarbonate, except PD.

It's preferred if someone owns it to write the article. And what do you mean by 'any more'? And yes, it's just a Metal Frame and Core, no PC frame...

I'll edit this post eventually with article edits when I have the time.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

-Anton Ego/Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

I am not certain you should be writing articles if you do not know that the "PC" in PC Frame refers to PolyCarbonate, which is obviously a type of plastic. Every plastic part in Metal Fight Beyblade is made of polycarbonate, except PD.

Okay, no problem, then you can close this thread if you want to. I just wanted to make an attempt because I noticed there wasn't an article for this bey.

You use Striker quite a lot, the name is 'Unicorno' on both.

does that really matter, I am just wondering?

I like hms, how bout you?
Watch my vids on youtube. channel: Drakio1000

does that really matter, I am just wondering?

Yes, all articles use the original names. We then use redirects to point a search of the dub name towards the actual article, but the latter must only contain the original name.

How does it resemble Dark if they look nothing alike? Also I wouldn't say it is argueably the best attack wheel since there are so many. Saying one of the best would be better IMO.

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.

Metal Frame:
-Weight: 12.65 Grams

The metal frame is considerably heavier than PC frames present in other 4D Beys. It has two modes, Assault Attack Mode, in which the protrusions on each side fit into the contact points, creating a single "Wing" on each side, creating a shape very much like Trygle from the Plastics Generation, and Barrage Attack Mode, where the frame deliberately misaligns these contact points, creating several more points of contact, along with opening gaps in the "Wings". These modes can be changed by adjusting the frame on the metal wheel. Assault Attack Mode is usually the preferred mode of the two, as it is shown to have considerably lower Recoil, while providing more actual contact force.

Metal Wheel: Blitz
-Weight: 31.07 grams

Blitz has three separate primary contact points, whereupon the metal slopes downward into a finer surface, creating "bumps" on the frontmost 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. This wheel has proven highly functional, and is considered a top-tier Right Spin Smash Attack 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 smash attack can be used to great affect in the versatile attack custom, MF Blitz Unicorno II CH120R2F.

It was also discovered to've been capable of easily and reliably KOing MF-H Basalt Kerbecs BD145CS in the low-profile combo Blitz Unicorno II 85R2F.

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.

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 around for Attack-type enthusiasts favoring Right-Spin. Every blader should own at least one of this bey.

I cleaned it up, and provided my spin on it, as I do own and have extensively tested this particular Beyblade. Little to nothing of the original content is still present.

Some manner of Octopus.

Hazel, you should probably point out that Unicorno II should be selected over Unicorno I because the CW is more elevated and thicker, providing more contact if it's hit from above. This can be particularly useful if it's on a lower track.

You should also make it a point that this MW is much like Trigle from the plastics generation. I think that would serve as a good benchmark in use if a veteran blader is trying to understand this wheel.

You should also point out that Blitz can KO at a low velocity. I'm not use if you've test Blitz vs. L Drago variants, but Blitz doesn't really stand a chance against combos like LLD/LDD CH120/90/85/BD145RF. It gets murdered by left spin attackers.

It would probably be beneficial to point out the weaknesses of this wheel.

EDIT: also, RSF is pretty useful with smash attack wheels that can simply KO from the center. Some wheels don't need to me moving very fast to KO, but can KO from the center. You can use RSF for this. It provides some movement and allows you to launch at full strength without the risk of KOing. I haven't done extensive testing, but enough to know it's possible. It's not super effective, but it happens if you "master" that particular launch (for a lack of a better term)

Since I've basically re-written the entire thing, I'm simply going to make my own thread for it. If you have any complaints, KiLL_SwiTcH, I will take it down/give credit for the source.
