It's basically the replacement of the GT Weights that we saw from the previous Layer System. This time, those Plates (or Chassis) give more bulk and surface area compared to its older Layer System pals. If you do check on the recent introductions of the three Beys (Super Hyperion, King Helios, and Glide Ragnaruk), you'd notice that both Hyperion and Helios lack Disks (whereas Ragnaruk has Wheel Disk) which could mean that both Beys can be enhanced further by what Forge/Core/GT Disks we already have so far.
Edit: to those who didn't really understand Japanese and how they pronounce non-Japanese words (probably because they watch English dubs instead of trying to get into the Japanese dubs, but I digress), the reasons this thread as well as the succeeding releases are named "Superking":
1. the protagonist Beys have "Super" and "King" as part of their combo naming, which makes sense
2. when Japanese pronounce the word "Sparking", they actually say "su-paaaa-king-gu" which non-Japanese would hear as 'Super king", to which the Kanji they decided to use into the new series as '超王" which in romanji reading is "chou ou" (that actually meant "Super king" in English translation)
Edit2: I double-checked the image of 1A and 1B, and it looks like they already have the tabs integrated onto the Chassis unlike 1S which has no tabs from a Disk that allows it to have a Disk as part of its combo. From the looks of it, 1A has a shape like Under Frame while 1B looks like Meteor Frame. 1S looks like Proof Frame or 0 Disk. Which would probably prompt the question: 'if the Chassis can still be upgraded by Disks, will Core Disks+Frame or GT Disks fit?'
That is a lot of information, but it says that ALONG WITH 2 Beyblades and 2 launchers, there is a pair of battle plates. That means it is separate from the Beys.
