ORIGINAL Beyblade: Phantom Spider
[Image: aTvcBqMh.jpg]
For this contest I really wanted to challenge myself, so I wanted to choose a Beyblade that wasn't that well known or even thought out so through searching I came across Phantom Spider owned by NET(bey & bit beast,no bit chip sticker, in image) and thought it was a perfect choice, because I've always been a fan of certain spiders & as a bonus I definitely forgot about this bey, plus I don't think it was even ever manufactured and didn't really have any gimmicks to go off of(not even a bit beast sticker) So I basically had a lot of freedom when it came to redesigning it from scratch.
My Burst Redesign: Syndicate Spider- R.P(h) or Reverse. Phantom

This is the Bey incorporated on what I envisioned the front of the package would look like if it were a real product Showing that it's an attack Type, Double Layer, Burst System Beyblade with all The Japanese Translations, also at the Top it has the English & Japanese Translations of its Name from top row to bottom(tryed my best) and in the top Left corner in the Hexagon it states That its a Booster B-00 in English & Japanese(really hard to see though, unfortunately I don't have the best camera sorry) plus The Symbol for the Bey/layer in the middle is 2 Capital S's Crossed over eachother In a Cross Shape manner to Stand for Syndicate Spider.
DOUBLE LAYER: Syndicate Spider

Since the original design was quite simple, pretty proto and didn't have a bit chip sticker I thought the best way to redesign it would be to make it a Double Layer and switch the color scheme from the general color being Red and stickers being Purple from the original, to switch places So that the stickers are red and the general is purple. Also The Spike in the middle of the spiders Fangs is actually the Spike from the Disk being exposed from underneath(hence why it's unhinged by 2 "clicks") That will be explained further in the next paragraphs.

This is just The same image of the layer but with Capital "R" outlines On the 2nd Layer to show that I designed it's shape Based off of the Letter "R" to match the Letter of the Disk in order for them to correspond with eachother more closely, not only that but The legs of The "R's" are also the legs of The Spider with each Leg split in Two(by the slope, but still connected to reduce breakage issues) with The outer Leg on each one being lower then the inner Leg to give it a slope for upper attack, and each leg is to be fairly thick and close to the rest of the Bey & radius of each Legs contact Points to Reduce Breakage, plus you can Count that there is 8 Legs like a real spider, The Head of the spider is incorporated in the 1st Transparent layer with 8 eyes with the top Row being bigger then the second to add depth, and it has fangs That line up with the Disk on the 2-3 "click" during battle To expose contact with The spike on The Disk like a poisonous BITE!!!!
Teeth of the layer (Image may not work)

The Middle 2 teeth are to be just a tad longer then the rest to slightly increase The chances/time for the Spike to make contact with the opposing bey, when exposed through being unhinged on its 2nd to 3rd "Click"
Disk - REVERSE (click to open)

As you can or can't see the Disks shape is Made up of 2 Capital "R's" (to match the 1st letter in the name) connected Parallel to eachother with the two inner legs forming a Spike protruding further then the rest of the Disk(a bit more than shown) for enough exposure for contact when lined up with The "fangs" on The Layer, since it would be covered By the 2nd Leg on The right side of the Layer at first before the 1st 2 "clicks" I also purposely Shaped The R on each side of the Disk with Holes so each R slightly resembles the number 8(# of Spiders Legs) with its Curves. Its also named Reverse to simply state that it becomes more effective when unhinged in "Reverse" during battle when the Spike is exposed in combination with the Syndicate Spider Layer.
Driver - Phantom
I purposely named it Phantom to pay credit to The Beyblades original name & describe it's movements in a mysterious manner due to its 2 manual change modes, and the logo carved in the middle is a P diving into an H to stand for Phantom as well as represent its 2 modes.
Modes
[Image: a0bmbf3.jpg]
Light Attack Mode - when the additional "Spreaded Rubber Flat" tip isn't attached, the driver tip exposed is a hole flat for less aggressive attack movements but more stamina making the Beyblade more balanced then broken and overpowered.

Heavy Attack Mode - When the additional "Spreaded Rubber Flat" tip is plugged in, the driver is slightly taller giving it some smash attack potential and the Rubber is spread out in 4 segments (# of spider legs divided by 2) in a circle with a radius equal to a giga flat to yet again Balance it out so That despite The Speed you can't flower pattern with it and it's Stamina is equal if not lower than an r2f meaning that this mode would really only be useful for 1 hit K.Os against other attack types yet again allowing the Bey not to be unbeatable, plus the Rubber segments are slightly thicker than shown to reduce breakage & wearing.
Anyhow if you got threw all of my images & info about the Bey "Congrats" and I really tried to put a lot of thought into this Redesign, So feel free to share your opinion on it and Good Luck to everyone in this contest!
