I quite like these recolours, the Stone in translucent blue is quite nice as well. That pearl white Devil blade feels right out of the Holy Knight Belial, though I would've preferred fully translucent, this one's still quite nice.
There appears to be a new disk too, which at first gave me hope that we'd get more original exclusive QD beys, since I wanted more of those, but I think that might be Nexus-S. At first it looked a bit like the Saramanda chrome wheel in a way. I also wish we didn't have two very similar DB blades in one double pack, I would've preferred a translucent clear Katana, at least.
While definitely not perfect, in fact it's rather incomplete, it was nice for Hasbro to give us Violet Bahamut in a dual pack, and not do something stupid like locking an anime bey behind a big set.
Roar looks like garbage for the recolor, they met halfway for how it looks visually really sad to see, also not a fan of the random grey attachment doesn't even make sense more just cheap for not wanting to paint

Destruction Belfyre and Decay Perseus:
Roar Balkesh and Stone Balderov:
Decay is the Devil blade as suspected, and the Roar recolor hardly looks like the one we got from TT although I think that was what Hasbro was going for.
Parts for Destruction Belfyre are Tapered, Edge-Q with the Shot attachment, and the armor from Berserk Lynwyrm.
Decay Perseus has a new armor and disc, with Guard-Q and the Quattro attachment.
Roar Balkesh has the Wrath Cobra armor, Giga, and a new tip with what looks like a Drift attachment.
Stone Balderov has the 3 armor, Qq disc from Muramasa, Assault-Q and the Rise attachment.

Edit: As I look at the image of the driver for Perseus, it has the product codes for Guard-Q and the Quattro attachment, yet the image of the driver doesn't look the same as those parts so maybe there's some sort of error with the driver names or images
The Decay Perseus looks great. Props to Hasbro for using that slot to give us Devil instead of Savior - paint work not looking too bad either.
Hopefully the fused S Gear Disc has some use, although it's looking a bit thin.

Yeah the funny thing is they could have made purple Balkesh if they used less paint, but the use of additional paint ironically makes it not color accurate.
I just find it so funny how Perseus P7 looks identical to Baldarov B7 like the same paint job and everything. Also it’s kind of weird that it’s a balance type but I guess it’s fine I really like how the colour sceme is based on Saviour Perseus and not Dynamite Perseus. And also yes Roar Balkesh look horrible all they had to do was just paint the black parts purple and it would’ve been fine.
Also this does make me wonder how ever there gonna do Glory Regnar and Ultimate Evo Valtryek. I imagine the combos will be Glory Regnar R7 Over-Q Xtend++Activated Xtend+-Q-0, Ultimate Evo Valtryek V7 Legacy-Q Flugel+Variable-Q-9

No, I’m sure maybe we keep misreading the “Hasbro fanboy” situation. I think it’s becuz we only compare them with TT, when we shouldn’t.

It is always so funny too, the thread has to constantly repeat the cycle of the same explanation given to why people don't like MODERN Hasbro Beyblades.
"stop comparing the Beyblades to the original Japanese product" because....reasons? Then we compare it to Hasbro's own standards "You can't compare to switchstrike that was years ago" because.... reasons?
We need to stop excusing Hasbro because the garbage they put out is not good, the modern releases still do not hold a candle to the top releases from years ago that they did with SST or even some of Turbo, we have gotten at best TWO releases in Surge that can do OK , 3 in Rise? None in QD aside from Tapered-QD that work well for Hasbro stuff, and a couple of drivers for Burst classic.
Hasbro always has been doing less and less per year and creating worse quality products, so people can like the beys visually whatever and have fun but very much irks me when points get constantly mentioned and ignored.
I'm gonna be honest with you here p0l1w4g06: No front, really, but I think you should consider stopping your attempts of defending Hasbro here. It really doesn't work. They all are right, Hasbro does bring some good ideas and a fun/casual side of Beyblade, but if you look at certain releases from alone this year with QD (or even the whole series) you can't help but ask: Why are they doing these unnecessary, bad and annoying things and decisions to us, the community. I may have been influenced by many people on here or YouTube in the past 2 years, but these words still come from a Hasbro Fan, from someone who ONLY buys and has Hasbro Beys. Get this.
I expected almost nothing and they somehow exceeded what I thought
Spyrzen looks horrific. Absolutely brutalized by Hasbro.
Also, I like the colours on Perseus P7 and Stone Baldurov. Good recolours, IMO.

Becuz massive disconnect, or the I/C is a *Rath Roar* hole.
I guess QD is rather weak, no motor strike equivalent, the tips aren’t even as accurate shape wise compared to Speedstorm, and they don’t even look that fun compared to HS or Slingshock (Love my Yard-S and Power-H going at sonic speed around my Tt standard)

Yeah, my son and I and my friend and his daughter played with the interstellar drop set during our national tour event. We used them in the finals. I ended up fixing it for them as they didn't know how to assemble it properly. I must say it was actually quite a bit of fun, especially for a 3 player match.

Terrible take. Absolutely they should be compared. It's so much harder for kids to play competitively thanks to Hasbro cheaping out on parts. The fact performance has regressed compared to SwitchStrike Beys meaning people new to the series who can't buy from Takara can't even face older Hasbro Bladers on fair ground kinda blows most arguments about balancing releases out of the water, especially when they could go some way to improving it by just giving chips that don't suck. Or even putting rubber on Vanish, a little metal on Guilty. Anything! They couldn't even get Over to 26g? Like, Giga was 25g and Over is wider than Giga, would that 1 gram of zamak really cost that much?
TT Beys in their regions are not really more expensive than Hasbro Beys in ours. It's just blatant corporate cost cutting and greed and anyone defending this aspect of what they do should be ashamed. You can have the fun driver gimmicks if you really want without cheaping out on layers and drivers.
As much as I, as someone who can buy from overseas, can enjoy Hasbro giving me parts for classic, limited and GT (though these are all getting fewer and farther between with the changing of ball tips to flat tips and bad chips), and find some of the gimmicks fun, it sucks for the kids who want to attend events but even if we do say, Burst Limited (or even classic now layers are leaving shelves) or even Hasbro Only without Pro, they don't really even have a chance there unless they have older stuff.

Now I don't blame Hasbro. I blame the R and D dept (they likely thought it was a good idea to do this).

Someone pointing out flaws in what you're saying is not throwing you into whatever weird reference that is or saying it's forbidden. But when you make a bad argument you shouldn't be surprised when it is rebuffed - if you're getting rebuffed a lot it might be time for introspection.

1. Ok, blame whoever they put I/C in that dept (like how the CN Execs ruined Ben 10). (Should have listened properly during my Business Module)
2. They all bad like H Beys.
3. Maybe you're right. I don't even care about the TT-Hasbro war, yet I argue for the latter becuz I watch a Hasbro-only Ytber. What have I done?
Ah yes, I got into the hobby becuz of the anime. The anime is cool, hence I picked it up. And then i started visting wiki and every part is garbo...which kinda pissed me off even though its the truth. Mentality busted?
I think reason I defend Hasbro is becuz I subbed to Zankye, his Hasbro criticism, while valid, kinda got so annoying to me that I stopped watching his vids on Hasbro stuff. I...have no words on what I've become. Who am I now?
I think I also for some reason desire fame and recognition in the community too, I guess. Hence my posting of many-a-dumb draft, mashing comments on semi-inactive threads etc.

It's not even that, direction for these things from way higher up in the company. R&D do not have that much power in toy companies, they are given direction on what to do based on accounting departments providing information to management who determine corporate priorities. This is all about money - and the decision relies with managers of the line and their superiors.

Yeah, but this is the only way I get to chat with other members of the community since I lack discord (and no plans to get it). I've used this for so long, I don't wanna part.
(Instinctively tries to defend himself but stops as it will start another drama).
I should just go back to making drafts.
Question is...is it wrong to like both? Hasbro vs TT here is starting to feel out-of-hand.
Hey, I have 2 ideas to "try" and improve Hasbro stuff:
1. Change.org petition.
Now, you may be wondering why I mention this, but I'm sure every member of the Beyblade fandom has a combined hate for Hasbro Beyblades, so we can leverage on that to try and force a change.
2. Toyhax Upgrade Kit
Toyhax is a name I hear a lot by watching a Transformers guy, and it makes stuff better. So...QD Upgrade Kits?
-Stickers
-Metal Recreations of H-exclusive armors (if possible)
-Coverups for Hollower parts
-Bahamut Rubber Locker?
