I am upset that they didnt give Infinite Achilles a new chassis

It's fine, plus. Infinity Achilles looks the best without the shield or sword.

What would that mode be called for Infinite Achilles when it doesnt have the sword or shield

According to takara tomy, it’s balance mode. They said it in the advertisement video.

Sounds just about right

At 4 minutes mark they are showing their pull results out of 21 pulls, and it seems the rate is the same as the previous RBV.
At least the super satan with Xtreme' seems to have boosted rate at 1/6

My guess of the rates based on their result:
1/12 Inf Achilles Sword
1/12 Inf Achilles Shield
1/6 Super Satan Xtreme'
1/6 Dragoon Victory
1/8 Dead Hades
1/8 Driger Vulcan
1/8 Ace Dragon
1/8 Hell Salamander

That would be a Dream for rates

Probably this:

1/36 Infinite regular
1/24 infinite black
1/18 super satan
1/8 Dead Hades
1/8 Hell Salamander
1/8 Ace Dragon
1/10 dragon and driver (they have sword and shield)

Which pulls actually gets boosted rate of 1/6 is still unsure though, since we never know if they got their 21 boosters out of the same set (RBVs are shipped at 24 boosters per carton).

Especially since the plastic remakes with additional sword/shield part gets different rates in my previous assumption, which IMO should be unlikely.
I know a lot of us are chopping at the bit to see what Achilles is capable of just bare in mind that when Tempest first debuted a lot of reviews were saying it wasnt that good. Obviously that ended up not being the case.

To be fair Tempest's stock combo really doesn't do itself any favors. Achilles at least has a decent enough stock.
Apparently the rubber on the new Dm' is more higer than usual
The theme for this one seems to be high drivers

If that’s true then perhaps Dimension will finally see some competitive use. This driver always had potential tbh but the low protrusion of the rubber combined with its easy wearing was a problem.

FWIW, I think it's best to set expectation low for RBV releases.  Since GT, I think the only competitive one was Naked and that's not saying too much.  

On a side note, I enjoy to understand the history of colloquialisms, thought I'd share with you:  The head harness for a horse is called a bridle, with a metal bar that sits in the horses mouth called the 'bit'.  Before races or when simply eager to go, horses have a tendency to bite down, or 'chomp' on the bit.  Thus, the expression has extended to when someone is eager for something to occur, they can be said to be 'chomping on (or at) the bit'.  Definitely a correct usage of the phrase here though!

Have to admit, Infinite Achilles is looking pretty good aesthetically. Looking forward to possible 3D Printed extra attachment ideas for Infinite.

Hopefully some of the awesome guys like “Gauntlet” on shapeways put together some interesting metal options or even brand new designs.

I enjoy the customization part of the hobby, so it keeps me up to date with my nephew’s obsession in the hobby.

Shield mode looks really good. Hopefully, its actually good for what its meant to do.
Infinite ring w/chip - 8.58g
Infinite Sword - 5.37g
Infinite Shield - 4.91 g
(Infinite Achilles Sword - 13.97g)
(Infinite Achilles Shield - 13.52g)

If my math is right, Infinite Achilles, in either Sword or Shield mode, weighs around 64-65g while 58-59g in balance mode.

You got that right, I'm all about that stamina, so that's gonna' be the default "mode" of my Infinite ring, provided that it's competent at such
Potential meta combos?
