This is something that the WBO high ups will have to discuss.
Also, it appears Metal Fury is hitting the english shelves. I just got a Fury line Genocide Rex.
FB: 1.00g

EXACTLY!
Having WBO-specific names would kinda make it a bit more confusing, given the moderators' disgust for nicknames. XD
Hasbro does nothing but make things more complex, haha! We always have to pay for their mistakes...
The weights of those parts haven't changed much I believe? Genocide wasn't supposed to be heavy anyway...
- LOL! Genocide sounds pretty cool y'know! Nightmare is a funny substitute to such a cool name, though...
In plastics we just add the brand name onto things like that.
Twin Horn (Hasbro) being the standard name and Hasbro Twin Horn being the more relaxed/general conversation name. Of course in plastics it's easier to assume brand awareness and that people will be refering to the Takara version unless otherwise noted, unlike MFB where you have an influx of uninformed, unaware posters.
I guess something could be posted to tell people to specify what brand they're using but eh.

Yep, when I first posted, I mentioned that we'd need to add more content to our posts from now on. That additional content could be anything; the Brand Name being the most obvious thing to add, haha!
However, that is just one part of it. What about the posts of the past?
The thing is, if newbies start reading the threads, beywiki articles, etc; they are in for a bit of confusion. I think we'll need to update most of it with one word- Takara Tomy (OK, that's two words).
MFB being the current form of the game (and hence the most followed too), certainly has too many "unaware posters", as you call them.
Or rather, they are blinded by Hasbro's ways...
Plastics and HMS is FULL of veterans tbh. Only people, who actually know enough about them, dare to post in the plastic threads, haha!
I'm gonna try to figure out a cool launching technique. if u have any ideas, tell me.
not joking

I did forsee that issue, yes.

I have no idea what it weight before but it was never up there with 4D so I doubt it has changed much. I figured I'd post weights just incase though.

Legal reasons. Even TT couldn't be seen to advertise genocide to kids.
I'd love to find a niche use for Nightmare, since it was dismissed pretty early that it was already severely outclassed.
... but I don't want to ruin the paint job. >_>
That moment you realize that your about 95% of your areas meta

Since when was Nightmare painted? I always thought it came stock sliver unless there is a ver. I'm forgetting about.
I like plastics, but honestly know nothing about them, I feel like I'd get sniped through the window if I posted something ._. HOWEVAH, I am well educated in MFB. Not Zero-G though hah. I like 4D the most <3

That's what the Q&A is there for, though, and the others are, like any other thread, open to anyone. As long as people have actually searched the three main threads for each topic then there's nothing to worry about.

Uncustomised Genocide Rex seems to be on par with pre-4D stamina types from my experience. I can't make anything else out of it though and it's too light to have any defense.
Another random combo.
Death (Attack) Pisces TH170MB
Death : I used this in attack mode as the, um, teeth(?) is pretty jagged, so it can kinda grind the opponent.
Pisces : Used to expose the teeth (?).
TH170 : It's versatility helps this combo well.
MB : I wanted something that had at least some degree of defense, so I used this. CS, RDF and RS didn't have enough stamina, so yeah.
Death Pisces TH170MB vs. Duo Pegasis II AD145WD- This actually works pretty decently against this. Get's 70%!
Death Pisces TH195MB vs. MF-H Duo Pegasis II BD145CS- Not bad, but not good. 60%.
Death Pisces TH195MB vs. MF-H Duo Pegasis II BD145RDF- Excellent! It achieves 100% win rate against this! Must be because RDF doesn't have as much stamina as CS.
Death Pisces TH170/195/220MB vs. MF-H LDG BD145RDF
Death Pisces TH170/195/220MB vs. Phantom Cancer AD145WD/230D- Fails against both. Only 2-3 wins.
Death Pisces TH170MB vs. Duo Pegasis II 230D- Well it works against this.

I find that it's a pretty good pre 4d attack wheel.

Attack ? It was decent in Defense.

If you got it with the DS game it was painted. I also think the metal masters version was also painted just not the Metal fury version
Anyone has any idea when the Metal Fury is coming to Finland? D: We got Destroyer Dome already, 'tho.
The Destroyer Dome is part of the Metal Fury line, the rest should show up shortly.
EDIT: So Genocide is aAttack/Stamina Hybrid? Anyone tried it on MF?

Thanks! Tho' i'm really sad that Hasbro hollowed every single Metal Wheel.
Forbidden was relatively unaltered, contrary to what initial measurements suggested.

You seem to be forgetting "Genocide Circle", Death Gargoyle's AR.
True, but part names weren't quite so "visible" then.
As for everyone saying Nightmare was dismissed/an attack part, as Kai-V said it was known (largely due to her own testing, IIRC) to be a decent pre-basalt defense wheel. Its attack was always mediocre.
I never knew the part names besides the 6/8/10 Weight Disks and Dragon Breaker/Saucer.
Something to do with hasbro never mentioning them probably.
They were mentioned in the video games but nowhere else.
