Ever had a bad Beyblade that you still like but you don't want to admit it? This is just a thread expressing which bad/unpopular Beyblades that get flak for their performance, aesthetics and parts that you personally like.
It can be from any generation, they just have to be beys that aren't well liked by a number of people. Your reason for liking these unpopular beys dosen't have to be based on performance (it's any personal reason). Your reasons for liking them can also be as absurd as possible but please be respectful if someone has a reason for liking a bey you hate. You may argue that "there's no such thing as a bad beyblade that you actually like" but IMO, there is. Some beys can be useless and still be fun or cool to you so as dumb as this thread sounds, I'm sure some people will have bad beys they still like. That doesn't mean you're a contrarian for liking unpopular beys.
These are just my opinions (below).

- Bump King - Already starting off with a bey from this era that is pretty much universally hated. I actually like Bump King TBH. Yeah, its performance does suck but it's really fun to play with just because of the horrible recoil which can lead to some crazy battles. This may also stem from my nostalgia as I remember seeing Bump King in Beyblade (Episode 18). I also think it looks kinda cool.
- Makendo - This also applies to Ultimate Dragoon and Megaro Arm. I like this one for being that simple and basic spinning top, back when it was at its early stage. It's like an empty base waiting to be expanded on.
- Trypio - Back then, the idea of a Beyblade that could fly sounded awesome but had poor execution. The idea was so crazy, I just love it and it also gave us mG.
- Dranzer F - Okay, I wouldn't call this one unpopular since I know a lot of people love it for Black Dranzer but it's not known for having good performance. I still love this bey just for the aesthetics and gimmick alone. It was the first time we had a triple bottom change gimmick and whilst the FCB and D:D aren't good parts, I like them a lot for their versatility.

- Draciel MS - Honestly, I don't know what makes me like this one so much. It has really horrible parts (except for the WD) and performs like carp uncustomized. Maybe I like it because it's so bad as it gets bounced around really easily.

- Flame Sagittario C145S - I'll admit I have some bias just because it was one of my first beys but what I love about this bey is the way it looks as the MW and the CW work so well with each other and C145 is fun against attack types.
- Wind Aquario 100HF/S - It has HF/S... I love HF/S!
- Storm Capricorne M145Q - I know, I know, you're all probably thinking, "wait what...?". M145Q has pretty much become a frequent target of mockery and yes, M145Q does perform terribly but I really like it. The idea of the bey is that it bounces and it is a useless gimmick, but at least it does what it's intended to do. I also think the bouncing gimmick is fun to mess with as it can lead to some really unpredictable battles... until your M145 wears down.
- Thermal Pisces T125ES - Okay, you got me. I like this bey because of the anime since the concept for what the MW could do was interesting in the show. Obviously it doesn't work but I like the idea behind it.
- Killer Gemios DF145FS - I'm a Gemini okay >.<
- Kreis Cygnus 145WD - It might be one of the worst 4D beys performance-wise but I absolutely love it. It's one of my absolute personal favourites for its cool gimmick and really beautiful looks. The Cygnus CW is one of my favourite CW and I love the Kreis wheel's design. I personally also don't think its defense is that bad.
- Cosmic Pegasus W105R2F (Hasbro) - People don't seem to like this one because it lacked a 4D gimmick (same applies to other Metal Fury beys) and F:D was removed but IMO, the bey uncustomized is such a solid attack type and I really like the Cosmic MW. Its high recoil and huge smash makes battles really crazy and I love it.

- Trident H.C - It reminds me so much of Kid Dragoon mixed with Flame Sagittario and since I like both beys, it's no surprise I love this bey too. It looks really nice aesthetically with some cool spear details and golden yellow colour. I also like Heavy and Claw.
- Yggdrasil R.G - I love the colour scheme and I really like Ring and Gyro (even if they're outclassed).
- Storm Spriggan K.U - C'mon, admit it... if you have this bey, you've most likely tried to perform a 'Counter Break' move by pushing S2. S2 also had an awesome design and cool parts.
- Kreis Satan 2G.Lp - Probably the least talked about God Bey due to consisting of mostly outclassed parts (save for Glaive) but the roller gimmick is really cool and the bey uncustomized has decent defense IMO. It reminds me so much of Roller Defenser except more evil looking. It really looks awesome with pitch black being one of my favourite colours.
- Killer Deathscyther 2V.Hn - No one will agree with me on this one but I like this bey, I actually have a soft spot for this one. TBH, I find it has some potential in attack and a bit of destabilization. The kD layer is especially fun with Jaggy (yes, you heard that right). I also really like the idea of its God Ability (even if it doesn't work). It's also the best looking one out of the Deathscythers IMO. The bey as a whole may not be very good but far from "the worst God Bey".
