I'm posting this earlier than i anticipated but after seeing all the entries so far, i feel like my chances of winning just died so it makes no difference when i post it. i'll just post it now.. =/
my entry: Diamond Triangulum S: D
Type: Defense
Face: Triangulum
Clear Wheel: Triangulum
Weight: 3.3g
Metal Wheel: Diamond
Weight: 42.3
4D Bottom: S: D (Suspension Drive)
Weight: TBA
If any confusion with the Bearing's parts: http://www.fastelectrics.net/images/manu...earing.jpg
Creator's comments:
Quite honestly, i was trying to be original with the bottom. i've played with yoyo's bearings before and i know well how well they work regarding free rotation vs friction. I really think the color version for the Diamond wheel should be black representing rare space diamonds. When i first came up with diamond, i wanted to come up with something that had upper attack, smash attack, and decent aerodynamics. i made multiple sketches for hours and hours trying to come up with ideas. i put Triangulum minus with Triangulum to show that it is not a forgotten star constellation. =)

my entry: Diamond Triangulum S: D
Type: Defense
Face: Triangulum
Spoiler (Click to View)
The face of Diamond Triangulum depicts Triangulum and Triangulum Minus, two of the 88 constellations in space. The Triangula depict the Triangles however Triangulum Minus is included in this beyblade because it is obsolete but not forgotten.
Clear Wheel: Triangulum
Weight: 3.3g
Spoiler (Click to View)
The Triangulum Clear Wheel is in a green tint. It features 4 Triangula with 4 Triangula Minus in between each pair.

Diamond is the first dual spin, asymmetrical metal wheel which has 2 modes depending on the direction of the spin. In right spin, it's attack mode, there are 3 main smash attack points which are located at the end of each blade. Each Blade has 3 protruding diamonds that stick out for additional smash attack points. It's unique shape and slopes makes it capable of upper attack as well. In left spin, the shape grants Diamond the ability to deflect or lift any smash attacks in a similar way to Bakushin. This is it's defense mode. It also has upper attack potential but more has to be proven to say otherwise. According to study, there is much to be said about rare black space diamonds except that it is believe that there are planets that have diamonds like how we have diamonds on our planet. (Black is the colored version... in other words).

4D Bottom: S: D (Suspension Drive)
Weight: TBA
Spoiler (Click to View)
Suspension Drive is a hybrid bottom that is a mix between multiple tracks and tips. The base of the bottom has the smoothness and aerodynamics of Flame Byxis' 230 track and a similar dome shape to Gravity Perseus' AD145. The tip of the bottom is a mix with Phantom Orion's Bearing Drive (B: D), any eternal tip, RSF, and DS. Like the bearing drive, there are ball bearings inside the blade for additional stamina however, unlike the Bearing Drive and more similar to a yoyo's ball bearings, the outer race of the bearing is held stationary by the bottom itself which spins with the rest of the beyblade. The inner race spins freely and is connected to the shaft and RSF. While spinning, the RSF creates friction with the stadium causing the RSF to barely spin and is "suspended" from motion. When contact is made with Diamond Triangulum, it will barely move thanks to the RSF's minimal rotation and moderate friction. if there is any imbalance, the DS ring around RSF will prevent too much loss of balance but in return, a loss of stamina.
