General Hasbro BEYBLADE:Metal Fury/Shogun Steel/Beyblades Legends -FALL 2014 [HOBBY]

That, and probably Hell Beelzeb, colors notwithstanding until confirmation.

I want Dark Leone C145B in a Metal Fury booster damn it lol.
Unless they also make Hades Crown 130FB
It can be proto nemesis though. I know it's hasbro, but it's still a bit early for diablo nemesis to be released.
While it is early for Diablo to show up, when was the last time Hasbro made a new bey, the Legend series or something? I mean, they're going to have to change a good bit to make Proto work, and I don't know if they actually want to go to that trouble. I'm going to be in the boat of "Proto is Hasbro's way of saying Diablo" for now, though I'd love to be wrong in this case.
I wasn't sure wether to post this here or Random thoughts, but it involves Hasbro's Metal Fury line, so here it is.

I recently bought a cosmic pegasus, and I'm fine with how it looks, even though some people look at it as hideous. The reasons behind me liking it is basically a combination of the thought Hasbro put into it, the color they chose for the clear wheel, and how the colors come together and sort of pop out at you like it's no one's business. I know it doesn't look a thing like the original or any of the beautiful recolors Takara Tomy has released, but for a bey by itself, cosmic pegasus looks pretty good to me. The thought put into the design choices for this bey is pretty good.
With Hasbro's game plan of cutting costs by fusing the 4d wheels and making them as light as the other metal wheels, they needed to still emulate Pegasus in the the show somehow. Cosmic was painted silver is because they needed a base coat before putting the red details on the wheel to mimic the PC frame (similar to the metal system metal wheels, and the hyper metal wheel, which are painted silver to be able to add color accents). This of course, means they needed to make the clear wheel opaque to make it look blue over the red backdrop.

The bey could have been better, but with all things considered, I still like cosmic pegasus, even though it looks completely different than big bang. I couldn't say the same for some of those hasbro two pack beys though.

By the way, I'm also looking forward to seeing how proto nemesis will look.
I think Hasbro will have Prototype Nemesis made into a whole bey. Prototype as a wheel, then nemesis. And AD145WD as the bottom of it.
The track and tip have to interchangeable, even hasbro knows that.

Knowing Hasbro, it probably wouldn't.
i wonder if they will re-name the Hades energy ring from fusion Hades since they have a metal wheel named Hades and iv seen in a beyblade geeks video were the r2f from cosmic Pegasus made black streaks everywhere on the stadium whats up with that

Well I think think thats why they released Divine Crown, not sure but could be likely because they probably want more gimmicks.

Slee - And what about your excuse of Hasbros lack of stickers
Cut costs, that's really it.
Stickers are nice at first, but over time, they begin to look horrid. They aren't a necessity either. You can live without them.

If you knew how cheap stickers cost ...

OK, the economy right now is not super, but there is really no reason to cut everywhere they can cut ...
Some questions here:

1. What has happened to the F : D on "Cosmic Pegasis"?
2. Is "Blitz Striker" even out yet in stores?

I searched but couldn't find a pin-pointed answer, sorry for that.
I don't know the exact prices for production or anything, and I realize stickers probably cost less than the box, but it's the only logical solution I can muster up.

@BBS
Just a simple part change.
From what most people have seen, no, but I'm sure one is somewhere on shelves in the world.

There is simply none, you will probably never see it from Hasbro.

Not really.

True but without stickers look plain most of the time
Cutting out stickers from HUNDREDS of packs do cut costs. Several hundred dollars I bet. Stickers are cheap, but that ink they use certainly isn't.

Probably the same reason every game I buy has a black and white manual.

Also factor in that they have to have new molds made for each wheel.
Also those "green" purposes. Always about the environment....
Entertainment Earth updated, but nothing new that we haven't seen in the past few days...
Wave 21
Revision 1
Revision 2
Revision 3
Team Pack Wave 3 - Note: these are those Legendary Blader two packs; Part of the description is copied from the Metal Masters Team Packs...

Some Stealth Battlers; nothing new:
Wave 4 Revision 1
Revision 2
Oh jeez, I almost died when I saw that beautiful MLD and the other combo that comes with it. I cant wait!
About the "green aspects" of Metal Fury wheels, if they aren't refurbished prototypes that is, if the less metal used, possibly the dyes used which explains color discrepancies.

Kinda reminds of the Dark Flare version.
Anyone think Proto Nemesis is actually Diablo Nemesis, renamed by Hasbro? I think it could be possible.

Especially considering there's no way they'll keep the Diablo name.

Even though in Bakugan they have Diablo/Angelos Preyes???
But then again this is Hasbro and Bakugan is NOT Hasbro
