Yo Bladers!
As we mentioned in the announcement for the Fifth WBO Anniversary, things aren't dead in Beyblade right now, but it's possible to imagine that a new series is upon us in the near future. What if we... tried to guess what was coming up? That's right, this Face Contest's goal is to create what you think the next Beyblade series TAKARA-TOMY will introduce will be!
Your entry has to have a visual support, and you must show at least
two example Beyblades, so that we can see the direction the new series of the toyline would take. You don't have to make two awesome Beyblade designs based on a totally new series though: you can focus on one of them more, and the second design could be a more simplified drawing as long as it shows a common essence between the two. Of course the most original entries will have a higher chance of winning, because as much as you want MFB to be continued or for plastics or HMS to return, it probably won't happen so we need to focus on innovation!
The winners will get their choice of:
As usual, there will be
two winners!
- You must give some sort of explanation of your series or system, because it might not be absolutely clear just from your picture, even if there are two Beyblades.
- Try to stay as realistic and reasonable as possible; for instance, no one-ton but small spinning top...
- Limit one entry per person! Your first entry will be the only one that's considered, so work hard on it!
- The WBO Committee isn't eligible. Again.
- You have until 11:59 PM EST Tuesday December 31st 2013 to submit your series. Any entries after that will be disqualified!
- Post your entries in this thread! (You can also talk about the contest, ideas, or whatever in this thread as well!) However, you cannot post drafts of your entry and ask for feedback!
Go ahead now, make Osamu Mashimo proud and continue his work with just as much innovation as he used to begin this whole toyline!
(There may be a physical prize revealed later for this Face Contest, but for the moment, get your point for the Scavenger Hunt by entering!)
I would show my ideas but people will criticize them so I probably won't tell. Not because I don't really have an idea, I do have one but I would prefer not to show it.

No, they will not. All entries are accepted here, we have kids from all ages who enter these contests and while their design are not 'professional', they still show creativity and that is what is important.
I'll think about it once I decide whether I'll make a Photobucket account or whatever.
Wow I have an major. Advantage Because. Of my 5D systems and I have an prototype for it.Can we use an prototype or do can we only draw.

It is design, so I suppose that as long as it is something visual, it works.
man looking forward to designing another blade! can the 2 blades (blade designs) have some aspects or features of the previous generations of beyblade, or does it have to be completely fresh? looking forward to this as i missed the last one! =)
You'd have a better chance of winning if it were something original, but I'm sure it's completely fine to base it off an existing system
.
Ok finally something I can actually (sort of, maybe, possibly...) do! I've had some ideas for awhile, can't wait to finalise them!
Thanks Kai-V and to other people behind this event. This contest is more challenging. Bey Spirit is charging up. Hope to see more of the participants work in this contest. Good luck for the participants.
OK. Here's my entry.
System Name: Polarity Core
The basic idea behind
Polarity Core is that every Bey has a "core" it's built upon. A tip is locked onto the bottom of the core, and up to 3 discs are slid onto the core and held in place by magnets. A cap is then placed at the top of the core to prevent dislodged discs from flying out of the stadium. The cap also has magnetic grooves for connecting to a Polarity Launcher.
Figure the core is a cylinder about 1.5 - 2 inches long. Depending on the core, the wheels can be placed at varying heights on the core. Some cores would have their own gimmicks, such as a sliding magnet that would cause a disc to raise or lower during a battle using the velocity of the spin.
Wheel placement on the core would be governed by a set of rules. The Equator Disc would always have to be between a slimmer upper and lower Pole Disc. This would be enforced by the magnets themselves. The upper and lower would use the opposite polarity of the main wheel so the main wheel could only be placed in between the other two.
Here's a rough concept of the layout of core, tip, and wheels:
Here's a really poorly modeled Equator Wheel:
Keep in mind that the scale on these images is not exact. I'm by no means a designer or engineer.
Several things would have to be considered when putting together a Bey:
- Weight of core
- Weight of Discs
- Placement of Discs
- Magnet strengths in core
- Magnet mobility in core
- Number of magnets in core
- Tip choice
- Disc size
- Adequate protection of your core
I like your concept Naijalak! It would be cool to see in real life.
Im definitely gonna enter this. Im already getting some bizarre and awesome ideas. I cant wait to see what I come up with.
Ball-Bearing System
In this Beyblade series ball-bearing are inserted into open holes in the beyblades metal wheel (Beairing Wheel) to alter performance. Each beyblades hole number & placement is different, by using different weight ball bearings even more customization options are available.
Window Wheels
Similar to the Crystal wheel of Zero G series The clear plastic top wheel of the beyblade acts to lock the ball-bearings into place and hold them whiten the beyblade while spinning.
Ball-bearings
The bearing come in variable weight and material. Wiffle Bearing, Crystal Bearing, Stone Bearing, Heavyweight Bearing and Gold Bearing
[Image: Untitled_1.png]
Wiffle Bearing (WB) - Plastic barring with hollow drilled holes
Crystal Bearing (CB) - Solid Plastic bearing
Stone Bearing (SB) - Solid Metal bearing
Heavyweight Bearing (HB) - Metal bearing with heavy metal core
Gold Bearing (GB) - *RARE* Gold colored stone bearing only obtainable in random boosters
Bearing wheels
A beyblade with a metal Bearing wheel has holes fitted to hold a bearring, or indented tracks allowing bearings to roll in position. Each wheel has different amount and placement of wholes to create variety. The holes can also be left empty.

Overview
More customization options will open the door to more variation and competitive testing. For example one Top-tier Beyblade could have many bearing combinations, each with slightly different results. This gives players a better ability to "fine tune" there combinations and custom tailor there results.

What is the 5d system?
A: The 5D beyblade system is an enhancement and a funnier improvement to the 4D system. But they do have so remarkable differences such as the Extra “D†I bet you where asking yourself what’s the extra “D†for well Your about to find out. The extra “D†Stands for the concept of Detachable Armor/Weapons to the system.
Why the Detachable concept?
A: Well I ve decided to make it for more interesting battles and maximizes the customizing rate of beyblade which makes an longer entertainment range for beyblade and the eagerness to collect and customize to be and built the best bey.
Parts of which the bey consist of
-Face
-clear wheel
-Evolutionary wheel
-Armor/weapons AR
-track connected with AR on it
-Tip
Prototype
The concept of the prototype is a Heavy AR this would be shown as a defensive armor in the detachable concept. I’m still working on the concept of the weapons like saggitario flame claw for example The blades of Claw145 is used for like an attack track. My work and examples of the proto type and a video is provided below and will be updated with more pictures and proto’s.
Series
The series I’ve come up with this system is called Beyblade: Metal Evolution. An instead of calling it a metal wheel or warrior wheel it will be called an Evolutionary wheel! Neat don’t you think? I’m still deciding on the characters main Bey It will be Deep space Pegasus or Soaring Phoenix. But I’ve come up with a reasonable story line With Very interesting Ideas I hope you ladies and gentleman find interesting.
Story plot
Year 2045 20 twenty years after the accident and the world tournament of zero-G A new era of beyblade has arisen with some remarkable changes. The new Metal Evolution has begun. This new era was stronger yet slightly wiser the beys evolution has been big with the new system of 5D the new weapons/armor system has been banging out beyblade all around the globe thanks to director Shinobi of the WBBA. The world has been in big changes But when the world sees the blader’s of this new Era they will witness the true big change.(This is all I have so far)
Thank you,
Sincerely, Xkai_dranzerX
Man, I must say The Bishop's idea is something I really did not expect ... Cool.
My idea is fairly far into the future, but definitely possible.
Basically what I'm asking is if this series we design has to be possible to be the next one TT comes out with, or if it can be something more futuristic yet possible.

As long as you do not go over a decade in the future, it should be fine.
If special launcher and stadium are needed for proper use, I suppose I can design them as well?

Absolutely, make your entry as complete as possible.
A whole new system, for sure~
EDIT: Beaten.
The Metal Armed System
Overview of Concept
This system has been designed to incorporate the best parts of the Hybrid Wheel, 4D, and Zero G Systems by incorporation of various features of each. Like all previously mentioned systems, the beys will feature tracks and bottoms. The difference is in the wheels. In this system, there are three different types of wheel. The Attack Metal, which normally incorporates the most design and determines spin direction, the Base Metal, which is placed below the Attack Metal and sometimes features a gimmick, and finally, the Zero Attack Metal, which mostly affects weight and is placed under the Base Metal. Also, to hold it all together, there is a simple bolt with a long screw called the Square Face.
Image:
How it Works
The Attack Metal has two different modes. Launch Mode is the mode in which it can be launched from bey launcher. This is only compatible with the Metal Armed System. In order to use it, you simply set it on the Base Metal. In order to change it to Attack Mode, you simply flip it over and twist it onto the prongs of the Base Metal.
The Base Metal has two different connection areas to connect the Zero Attack and Attack Metals. For Attack Metal, you simply put the gaps of the Attack Metal wheel over the tabs or prongs of the Base Metal. For the Zero Attack Metal, you simply put it together as you would a Zero G bey.
The Zero Attack Metal has only one mode. It uses this to connect to Zero G and Metal Armed beys.
What's So Special?
This system was designed to be compatible with all other systems in the MFB series. In order to be compatible with 4D and Hybrid Wheel, all you do is detach the Zero Attack Metal, flip the Attack Metal over, and attach a Clear Wheel. This will be held together by a Stone Face due to the height of the Attack and Base Metals together.
When combining with Zero G, the Zero Attack Metal is all you need. It will provide you with more customization. A Stone Face will hold these parts together. Note: You cannot use the Zero Attack Metal to launch.
Image
Naming
Just like in every other MFB type system, the names will go from bottom to top. An example would be Legendary Dual Chokuto. Legendary would be the Zero Attack Metal, Dual would be the Base Metal, and Chokuto would be the Attack Metal.
Legendary Dual Chokuto D125 XF (Attack)
The first bey in the series, it is designed to use its large gaps to cause massive amounts of recoil.
The Square Face features a flaming chokuto.
Chokuto, the Attack Metal, features four sword emblems and four hilt-shaped cut-outs on it and with designs. It weighs about 20 grams.
Dual is an oblong Base Metal with two spikes to attack. It weighs about 15 grams.
Legendary is the Zero Attack Metal, and provides the weight this bey needs to be strong. Weighing in at almost 30 grams, it is one tough wheel.
D125 provides this bey with a semi-tall height to meet other Metals.
XF provides this bye with stamina and crazy fast attack power.
Image
Ideal Free Bouche ED145 EW2D (Balance)
The second bey in the series, it is designed to deflect attacks and out spin all others.
The Square Face features an image of a bouche shield.
Bouche is an Attack Metal with grooves cut all along the side. It has two gaps in the inside of the Attack Metal that increase stamina, two large cuts to provide strong attack when necessary, two smaller cuts to wear down opponents, and two sets of three grooves to also wear down opponents. It weighs about 20 grams.
Free is a thin Base Metal with a neat little gimmick. It is able to spin freely due to its tabs being on a track. It weighs about 10 grams.
Ideal is a Zero Attack Metal that is designed to be light weight and have excellent weight distribution due to gaps in the wheel towards the center. It weighs about 15 grams.
ED145 provides a good defense with its free spinning wings.
Eternal Wave Wide Defense is similar to Wave Wide Defense, but it features a free spinning center.

It does not mean that entries already posted with this idea have no chance to win at all, but guys, we mean a whole new series : technically, a system to go right after Zero-G or 4D inside the Metal Fight Beyblade series is not a whole other series.
Shoot. I was so excited, I guess I forgot that part. Oh well
