What the hell is this new type hah ?

well i can read, Endurance or Defence... not like ketos as someone said
Meh, I've never seen a Ketos up close, my bad.
Anyways, you're right Kai-V, IIRC they've done that with a few beys in the past, no?
The word looks like mix of Endurance and Defence. JUST SAIYAN LOL
My question was rethorical. TAKARA-TOMY clearly superposed ENDURANCE and DEFENSE, for some stupid reason.
Hmm... I have made a conclusion: Takara Tomy felt that this blade is SO awesome, it cant be just endurance or defense... IT HAS TO BE ENDURFENCE! :F (lol sounds really close to en"derp"ence)

Haha anyways, nice pictures Kai-V!
So it was, hah, I was still wondering if they are two colors? I saw red and purple, what was it I saw? Different versions, or that color mistake TAKARA-TOMY does? I hated that VariAres lockdown they did that time..

I'm thinking that Orion is a shade of mauve that photographs differently at numerous different angles/lightings, or that they just waffled a lot on the color choice.
It is just purple/red. That official picture of the Clear Wheel is simply a render.
Hm, yet no Anime appearance, I just cannot wait for that "Orion's Whereabouts" episode!

And it is now confirmed that the character in image 4, I believe characterized with yellow hair, is the owner? No?

I am hoping it is similar to if not exactly like the purple from the magazine, hah.

Chris is the owner, yes. That was known.
Phantom looks like Burn to me.

The widest point of the MW does look a lot like the widest point on Burn, but the ridges and major contact points/details of the wheel are extremely different.
Blah, their shape looks similar, not TOTALLY the same.
Hah, this thread is finally open. Thank Kai-V for info, as usal. Also, a blend of Defence and endurance? Weird xd

Am I missing something again or is Orion indeed symmetrical ?

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.

also there is galaxy and ray and torch

also this bey is very interesting one question is is it going to be as game breaking as most people think
There will be a Big Bang Pegasis and Phantom Orion special Parts Set by the WBBA, if anyone was wondering how else B:D could possibly be gotten.
! WBBA is really steeping up their game, if that is the case.

I was wondering however, how the flip of the Core/Frame would affect the height of B : D, or any other track/bottom ..
Thank you kai-V for the update. You are great, as usual.
I think the mode change is flip. B: D looks a bit thin now. IIRC the Ketos clear wheel looks a bit like this.
There will be a Phantom Orion Skeleton Ver., another very rare CoroCoro-lottery version :

Are those eyes on Phantom just effects from CoroCoro or do you actually put stickers that look like that, hah ?

Darn it! I hate it when they do that. Coro2 lottery is near impossible to get.

Thank you Kai-V

This is such a slick recolour, as with most of the CoroCoro lottery prizes ... Sad. ;[

Thanks, anyway.

It looks like they're stickers with a bit of photoshop magic on them to make them look more vibrant.

This recolor is extremely nice, though - I like it a lot more than the regular Phantom Orion colorscheme, which I was already quite fond of. Nice find. Smile
Aw man that recolour looks sick. The Clear BGrin would go well with Basalt Horogium since it's clear.
Wow. Sadly the Corocoro one will be impossible to get...
TT's blog has been updated with a post on Phantom Orion: https://my.takaratomy-business-service.c...orer4.html
It's seems that the original color of the clear wheel was supposed to be purple. This image shows that the "eyes" are stickers: https://my.takaratomy-business-service.c...e/0004.jpg
