Here's my entry!
I hope you all like it. I have tried very hard to make it, because I suck at drawing.
Also, you may make fun of my drawing and handwriting. I am quite infamous for both in my school.

Here's the article. Towards the end, I've written a special note which acquaints everyone with the basis of my ideas.
STARBLAST QUASAR B: H
FACEBOLT- Quasar
The face depicts a Quasar; a very energetic and distant active galactic nucleus.
CLEAR WHEEL- Quasar
Weight- 3 grams
Quasar is a heavy, irregular clear wheel. It comes in various colors, which can be obtained randomly. It is shaped like a quasar, and also resembles the shape of the traditional Beigoma. Its weight makes it suitable for Defense and Stamina customs, but the irregular design mars its performance. It may still be used as a clear wheel for revealing the contact points of a few metal wheels. The main feature of Quasar is that it is compatible with both, Left Spin and Right Spin Metal Wheels.
METAL WHEEL- Starblast
Weight- 39 grams
Starblast is an extremely unique metal wheel. Starblast’s original release is a pearl white color. Starblast represents a stellar explosion, which accounts for the numerous spikes, and white color. Starblast’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it is made to counter low-height combos. A MFB equivalent of the legendary 8 spiker, it boasts decent smash. Starblast seems to have an attached core, which bears 8 spikes too. These 8 spikes lie below the original set of spikes, and are made to counter low height combos. They lie a little lower than the original set of spikes, resembling the normal mode of BD145. Starblast has got a lot of attack, but like Basalt, Starblast has a design which hinders its balance.
On top of the wheel, there are extremely small spike-like protrusions which represent the fragments of a star. The spikes hold resemblance to the spikes on BD145. This bad weight distribution could be put to use against low track combos, as it produces a ‘Wobble Attack’. As the bey wobbles, the spikes at the bottom make contact with the low track combos, producing a powerful attack. Unfortunately, when used on a low track, this wheel has scraping problems.
4D BOTTOM- B: H (Black Hole)
Weight- 15 grams
As the name implies, this 4D bottom represents a Black Hole. Surprisingly, its white colored. The 4D bottom has an interesting gimmick based on the weight of the metal wheel. Black Hole consists of a XB (Xtreme Ball) encasing a black colored HF bottom.
The opening up of a white colored XB to reveal a black HF signifies the death of a star.
That is, a huge, spherical star (XB) explodes and forms a Black Hole (HF).
The bottom consists of casings which open up due to centrifugal force. As the casings open up, they become parallel to the metal wheel, and act in a way similar to C145, except that the casings do not spin freely. XB is made out of Polyoxomethylene (POM) plastic, a type of plastic which significantly reduces the friction of the bottom with the stadium floor; aiding for smooth mode change. The mode change of Black Hole from XB to HF is weight based-
If the bottom is carrying an overall weight (Face+CW+MW) of-
33 grams and less, there is an immediate mode change from XB to HF.
34 grams-40grams, results in a mode change soon after the battle has commenced.
41 grams and more, results is no mode change, or a mode change towards the end.
To loosen the casings so that they may open, the bey needs to make harsh contact with the opposing bey. To open the casings of the light weight beys (33grams and less), contact with the stadium floor is enough. Its height equivalent is a 210 track.
OVERALL-
Starblast Quasar B: H is a decent purchase for everyone. Be it a competitive player or a collector, Starblast Quasar is promising. Starblast provides extremely powerful attack, and B: H has its uses. Low friction due to POM plastic accounts for great stamina, while HF gives decent attack. Though Quasar’s uses are negligible, it is a part of high collective value, as it is released in various colors.
Notes by Janstarblast-
Well, Starblast Quasar is based completely on the theme- “Death of a Starâ€. I have tried to make the parts useful, though they have a few flaws to them. As every maker wants his beys to sell a lot, he tries to make them useful or beautiful. As Quasar was a useless part, I made it a ‘cosmetic part’ by releasing it in various colors which may account as a ‘business trick!’ I hope you all like it!
While making this bey, I was extremely upset about my bad drawing. Hence, I made this bey more analytical than beautiful. A LOT of time has been spent to check if everything works well or not. I’d give a brief acknowledgement here-
Thanks to wikipedia for the photos of a quasar, this helped me draw the Face and Clear Wheel.
Thanks to Beybladespirit for the name of the plastic used for PD bottom.
Thanks to a McDonald’s Pokemon toy for the idea of B: H.
Thanks to 8 spiker for the design of Starblast.
Well, that’s it! I hope everyone liked my bey, and hope it shall be considered at least. I am sorry as the circumstances here didn’t allow me to complete my drawing. So, I hope that my drawing shall at least explain the concept of my bey. I know it might be a bit unclear, so I’ve posted it 2 days before the contest ends… Actually I wanted to post my entry earlier, but as I said- It was tough to do everything due to LOADS of work from school.
EDIT-
SHOOT ME DOWN WITH QUESTIONS!
