==Description==
Reboot’ is a plastic flat tipped Performance Tip that features an automatic tip change gimmick, akin to Metal Fight Beyblade's Final Drive, with a round tip like a smaller Accel and an eight pointed star tip like a larger Jaggy.
Early in battle, the centripetal force of the Beyblade's spin will force two spring loaded tabs outward which will in turn force the round tip out. As the tip's diameter is smaller than Blow's, the resulting movement pattern is only mildly aggressive, having trouble reaching the Tornado Ridge, but very controllable in a Sliding Shoot.
Later in battle, the drop in centripetal force will allow the tabs to retract along with the round tip, creating contact with the wider, Jaggy style tip. In theory this tip change is meant to create a last minute burst of attack power, but in practice the low spin velocity will make poor hits and reduce stamina when it is most important.
While poor in attack potential, Reboot’ has potential in Staller combinations as the tip change will keep a Beyblade away from the center for longer periods of time, allowing Reboot’ to act as a counter against stationary combinations that rely on weak launches.
However, Reboot’ has a history of being "sticky" where the tips do not transition properly, sometimes the center tip stays extended for the entire battle, retracts too late into the battle or failing to extend at all. It is recommended to use Reboot’ heavily in order to make the mechanism action smooth.
Something that makes Reboot’ better than Reboot is that Reboot’ has a golden spring to increase Burst Resistance.
==Overall==
Reboot’ suffers from slow speeds and lower than average stamina compared to other plastic flat Performance Tips, which makes this Tip outclassed by Accel and Zephyr for Attack/Stamina combinations. While Reboot’ can be used for Staller combinations, such usefulness is niche and Accel and Zephyr can perform comparably or better. Reboot’ is further hampered by the commonly "sticky" action which hampers its gimmick. As such, Reboot’ is recommended for collection purposes only.

Thanks to @[MonoDragon] for making the Reboot draft! It made it a lot easier to make this!
