Finally, my entry!
Beyblade 3D-H System
3D Printing:
A customization aspect never before seen in Beyblade! You can order a Beyblade made via 3D printing. Each part is made with the same materials used now (Polycarbonate and zinc alloy), but via 3D printing! Available online thru the Takara-TOMY website, you can order parts seen in regular starters and boosters, but also parts only made thru 3D printing orders! This special process only costs 1,000 yen more than regular Boosters! Note: Must buy full beyblade, tool comes for free, no launcher.
Holograms:
The Beyblade project holograms during the battle, that “interact†with other 3D-H beyblades within 5 feet of each other when both are turned on. The holograms are turned on when the Bey is rotating at 5,000 + RPM. As the RPM start to decrease, they Holograms start to flicker and slow down, more and more with the less RPM they beyblade is at.
The interaction:
The interaction is when the hologram, based on type, moves. Attack types have holograms that “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee†and look like boxers, Stamina types simulate the hologram (a runner) running on a very flat surface, and defense types have holograms that depict a sort of humanoid rock (See pics below).
Customization:
There is a polycarbonate ring on top of a solid piece of zinc alloy, and these two pieces cannot be separated. This piece is known as the Assault Halo, or AH. The Assault Halo is similar to the Attack Ring of the HMS generation, but heavier and larger in circumference. Next, there is a polycarbonate ring below the the Assault Halo, and smaller in circumference. This is known as the Force Saucer, or FS. There are 4 basic Force Saucers that come with regular starters and boosters, however with 3D printing there become more options. And finally, there is the Running Apex, or RA. Running Apex’s come in all different shapes and sometimes sizes, with some of course special to 3D printed customs.
All of these parts are screwed together by a bolt which projects the hologram. The hologram can be replaced with a different type. For example, if your screw that you were using was labeled Stamina type by Takara-TOMY but used it in an attack type of setup, you could switch out the hologram projector for a different one. You can also buy special packs of projectors that come with all three types. There is also the option to remove the projector completely, but why would anyone do that???
