Are those pics the right color too? because I have seen pics similar to those of released parts and they were the wrong color.

It clearly is shown in the magazine scans to be the same colors. Those colors are correct.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

-Anton Ego/Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

Nice pictures!

I feel good know to know such a simple mode change.

Thanks for the pictures, Kai-V. I hope pre-ordering Phantom Orion was worth it.

Good Very excited for this.

Thanks Kai-V again. I can't wait for weights on Phantom Orion.

EDIT : The Metal Wheel and Clear Wheel have a very simple mode change : you rotate the Clear Wheel from Stamina Mode to Attack Mode.

hmm, a mode change like the l drago series?

How would that work? Would it be basically the same?

Thanks for the pictures. Super exciting.

YAY! SOMETHING THAT CAN BEAT BASALT! ... oh carp. *facepalm* metagame? what metagame? THIS is the metagame when this bey comes out: MF-H Basalt Bull B
use it, or lose it. >:U CURSE YOU CUSTOMIZATION!!!!

Like people have said, it really shouldn't be hard to beat with an attack type. I would assume it'd be about equal to or slightly more powerful than 145WD in terms of defense; not much.

WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET. Let's stop speculating, we need to wait until there are vids and someone here gets this and does PROPER testing .

I have to go with Akylus on here.

A legitimate Bearing Component that is not yet released is already being ruled as outclassed by attack types. Come on now. That's like saying the next Jetta will flip upside down after its first run.

hmm, a mode change like the l drago series?

How would that work? Would it be basically the same?

Thanks for the pictures. Super exciting.

It does seem like it is exactly the same thing, but the Clear Wheel is just slightly more exposed sometimes.

I think you actually flip the metal frame upside down. I think that's what it's trying to say on the TT website: http://beyblade.takaratomy.co.jp/informa.../bb118.jpg

Ah, and in the Stamina Mode, the blue dots are from the blue, plastic Core showing ... Now I notice that it is not exactly the same shape. The official picture of the 4D Wheel did not really make it seem like there were two parts.

That makes sense now.

Thanks. What was the reference from anyways?

No problemo .

I think I had come up with that one, who knows, my memory has been failing recently.

I kinda wish a few other 4D wheels had a similar, compact construction like that. Not counting Jade, since that is pretty sleek and uniform.

But Jade is USELESS.

Good point.

Dear god how can you hit a face like that? (The metal wheel and clear wheel if anyone wasn't paying attention). It's so badass.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is going to be the first asymmetrical Clear Wheel?

EDIT: Other than the L-Drago Clear Wheels, of course.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is going to be the first asymmetrical Clear Wheel?

Am I missing something again or is Orion indeed symmetrical ?

Orion does indeed look symmetrical in the images linked in this thread...

Whoops, I meant Metal Wheel, hah. Sorry about that.
By this, I mean right-spin metal wheels. If there is a right-spin asymmetrical MW I am missing, I am an idiot.

EDIT: Yep, I'm an idiot.

Storm and Rock, hurr durr.

NEVER MIND MY IDIOTICNESS.

I just noticed this :

What the hell is this new type hah ?

I see the words "End" and "Defense" in there...

End of Defense?

EDIT: Nevertheless, the Orion CW is my favorite. Other than Giraffe, of course.

Does it change colors or something now?
Weird.
Am I the only one who thinks that looks like a Ketos?
The word of the day is Endureference.

How do I still have 17th most posts here...?

The colours in TAKARA-TOMY's pictures are really not often accurate, although they started using images of the actual parts recently and changed all the previous pictures, so such a pink Orion is definitely abnormal for what they currently do.
