Hmm...perhaps the 1st image of the Metal Fury Vulcan was a test shot for packaging only...in other wprds the images we saw were never shipped themselves, they only provided an example of what was to come.
Anothet possible explination is Kai-V's Gravity Destroyer likening. However, I think that maybe these silver wheeled Vulcans (assuming more than 1 exists) are limited to certain 1st wave releases, almost like 1st editions. Or perhaps these only belong to people who got them befire they were officialy put on the market.
Because Hasbro has already released Vulcan, something similar to the 1st explination sounds right. Personaly, I would not mind a silver Vulcan wheel. No pretty black paint to ruin, and it is a great attack wheel

Engineering analysis:
Hasbro could have an imposed density limit for how underweight a part could be. Not that you'd use Blitz legally without its frame, but their design team wasn't comfortable with separate parts having a thinner profile no matter what they are dedicated to. Or how they are supposed to fit. Blitz metal frame is rather thin, thus breakage problems with Takara's release meant compromise on Hasbro's end for Metal Fury.
A controversy over applying Beyblades to age groups, like specific categories might be in question. XTS and Beywheelz may be the only ones intended for the age range above standard releases. The "Fury" customize performance tops are set at a much more consistent level of complexity to that age group through removing mode switches.

Great post man. Well thought out. I would consider this an almost acceptable reason for Hasbro. It makes sense, and from an engineering/product design/
Hasbro economics point of view, this makes sense (even though Hasbro economics dont make sense to us)
I did say almost, Hasbro
