From the Face comparison, I wouldn't say this is likely.
If this wheel isn't heavy... I will cry.

Face isn't bad either, Escolpio, and even though I'm not happy about the 145 track, I want to try out WD.
If it is heavy it might be able to take out libra. The new cookie cutter combo would be EscorpioD125D.
Hopefully this will be heavy. I love the red on the wheel, too.
I really hope this turns out to be better than Libra. I think the design of Escorpio is better.
Update from Takara-Tomy!

   

Official name is Escolpio WD145B.

For the Wheel:

   

The description doesn't really say much except that it's good for Defense.

   

For the Track, it basically says that there are ball shapes around the periphery of the Track to deflect enemy attacks. Not sure how well that will work with giant gaps in the wings.
I can confirm that WD stands for 'Wide Defense'.

Also, I will try to look at the description of Capricorne later. There is an easier version of the text in the Information section.
It's possible this track isn't that good, but I have high hopes for it. Jesus it looks cool.
Yeah, that track looks badass.
I really want it, regardless of how good/bad it is.
It looks like some militarian thing, awesome!
That track looks as wide as the wheel. Hope it doesn't break easy....
BTW, the name change of this sux, Escorpio FTW. =P
Quote:It is dense first feature after all
“WD145” track/truck!!

The Return of the TRUCK :o
The track looks heavy as hellEee
Could be upwards of 5g. It might be able to improve on the LibraD125D everyones using.
The japanese translations often read truck, it sounds very similar to track.
It's called Escolpio due to the similarites of english R and L in Japanese.
I thought we confirmed the Track was called Track though?
See, you can't translate every language in the world into another one just word by word. I guess you know that.
It happens while Japanese is being translated to English or english words are written in japanese that words pronounced almost the same get mixed up.

It's "track", but as I said, translations or japanese descriptions sometimes read "truck".
Thanks guys Andrew
I can't wait for the results of Escorpio in battle.
tahu mistika: Those are the parts for Escolpio in your avatar, right? If it is, it looks awesome, especially the track XD

Definately.

But I hate how so many blades come with a 145 track.
I'm hoping Takara realizes the potential and releases a WD105, especially since there are almost no smash Wheels right now
