I don't see any mold differences on Astral. Even if the mold or rubber was somehow different, I doubt it would cause any massive shift in meta.

Metal DB Core teeth would just wear Driver teeth tbh. It's not like Metal Drivers did much in terms of improving Drivers.

Also I think a new Perseus would be amazing.

(Custom Parts for Perseus) Crest Perseus, Fortress, and Maybe an Electric Driver?

Perseus core with metal teeth with be insane for meta. Just saying.
Peter Pig for some reason says change the center piece of a driver (the circle part).
Eh not really feeling this hello kitty collab bey tbh. the core looks a bit too plain imo it could've been better and yeah ig its a dual spin since it has the triwing crews on it. On an up note the astral blade looks gorgeous.
The Astral blade is what I like thats the star here its beautiful . I wouldnt mind a Quattro dash if its not a new driver tu e chip well its hello kitty looks like hello kitty so yea its just that simple.
Personally I think the hello kitty bey is comedy gold. Especially since they actually bothered to make it a new core, rather than just a regular recolor (yes i know it's probably the exact same as spriggan but it still counts). On top of being funny though, it's just a genuinely pretty recolor.
So essentially this is just a stock Astral Spriggan (presumably, since all confirmed parts so far are Spriggan), but with a modified Spriggan core? Hopefully we get either Qt' and if possible, I would adore a clear Qt or clear pink Qt.

With that being said, the modified core is unique, I'll give it that. However, it feels very low effort, because it's just a flat surface with a Hello Kitty doodle on it. I could literally sand file a Spriggan core and paint the surface myself. The side parts of the core are unique, I think, which is at least kinda cool. The simplistic design is a huge contrast to the intricately detailed Astral blade. It almost makes me wonder why they even bothered selling out with this collab when it feels like the bare minimum was put in it? Real inclusive there TT.

This collab is just weird in general. With that said, this bey is unique for the DB core, so I might pick this up because it might be a good collectable. It is still different than just a full recolour, despite almost being that. Plus it's a very unique and kinda nice recolour. Not often do we get light pink.
My thoughts exactly on the Core. Its underwhelming, just like those MFB promo Face Bolts (Unless they metal).
Can't believe the only Burst promo part that is actually useful for its time to may knowledge is still only Outer.

Metal Drivers + Metal Locks bro. Think how broken that would be.

Also I do have a theory about RB-30. it could possibly be a Valkyrie themed booster with Beigoma beys (Blue Kerbeus, Ragnaruk, etc). I think it would be a pretty great way to end off.
We don’t need Valkyrie shoved down our throats. Ultimate is enough of
Also, notice how Divine’s last gear is yellow. I repeat yellow. This shoots down the H Gear theory as Hyperion’s primary color is red…
The last gear has to be a from a Bey that’s yellow. The only ones I can think of are Zeus and Anubis(which is too random). Could be Garuda, but aK already does that, so unlikely. Trident is also in the running.

I'm no scientist but I don't think Dragon's primary color is blue.

Or Zeus's is yellow.

True, but the part that the D-gear is based off of (Sting), is blue. Other than the V-gear (and let's be honest, nobody knows what part of Valkyrie the V-gear is meant to be based on) every gear has been colored based on what bey/part they take inspiration from.

Yeah I know, i'm just saying those weren't the primary colors (though funny enough zankye's so-far-reliable source says it is hyperion and helios. Not 100% confirmed of course).

Also correct me if i'm wrong but didn't the anime said the v gear was based on valkyrie's speed? Doesn't exactly answer the design part which is anyone's guess, but better than nothing.

V-gear was actually based on the Shot "Driver gimmick" and the kick driver as well oddly enough.
New Xcalibur seems to be BU compatible and the design is like Sieg Xcalibur for the blade and the core have Xeno Xcalibur design and weirdly enough this bey is anlign like this

Oh I saw what is supposedly that new Xcalibur, and I think it is legit.

See, the thing is, if this was fan made, fans would instinctively put the sword on the normal orientation, not this... wacky 45° angle. We'll get to that.

Anyway, my thoughts on what I saw so far. I do not like it. The DB blade looks too rounded for an attack type, the design feels a bit too simplistic for DB blade standards, and the shaping is just... I dunno, it feels so uncanny. Even with the wacky orientation, it's not pleasing to look at so far, nor does it at least seem promising for attack.

My theory behind the 45° angle of the sword alignment, is likely to incorporate some kind of gimmick, which seems evidenced by the metal sticking out of the launcher slot, and I assume it's like a mixture of Buster and any Bahamut bey, maybe even Kukulcan. I thought the orientation was just so they could use a new one sided armour to line up with the sword... but from what I saw, that's a 2 armour.

Not really feeling this one so far, it looks so underwhelming for a big release. Let's hope future developments change my mind.
Can't find the pic. Are you sure its real?
If so, then thats a big nerf...

It’s real, was posted by JandJ, can’t share images of leaks but you can find it there
Ok...
I guess the sword had to be sacrificed somehow-
wait, does that turn Xcalibur into a bladed Knockout? Or is just the blade's no longer aligned?
I saw the image and all I can say is: its wONKy.
I mean it looks so offcentered and just looking at it makes my feel weirded out.
Idk why this isn't what I expected at all

It's a pretty obvious design
How am I supposed to know what it looks like.
*Prays it isn't going to be like Reboot Stinkfly or Omniverse Big Chill*

If ur talking about xcalibur just search up j&j store on insta. The post is there
If anything this Xcalibur should be called "Quad Xcalibur" as a joke because of the fact that it's literally orientated like a Quad Drive Bey. The Core will look so weird on other Blades, I know it. But hopefully this is just like a concept and the official release will be different, even though I doubt that.
Hopefully Xcalibur can sorta make Attack relevant again, becuz I'm getting a little sick of LAD this, LAD that, LAD everywhere...
(For Right Spin stuff, Guilty already covered Left Spin Attack, and recent tournaments Ultimate and Savior AWOL)

If the designer can make Xcalibur looks so bad, they deserve to get fired lol. This remind me of salvage valtryek off center core.

even this fan made are much better than the concept art
