Actually, I think it has 3 modes now with Infinite ring gimmick. The Infinite Sword (blue, attack), Infinite Shield (yellow, defense), and Speed mode again without the gimmick putting on (maybe for Stamina, I guess?)

Oh yeah, you’re right, even better I guess. I would consider a speed mode to be undefined by type itself but rather define by the mode of dimension.
Has the material for the extra ring pieces been revealed? I hope they’re not just normal plastic

Probably plastic.
What are the chances the gold Achilles is top tier for Defense?

This is one possibility. I can think of three more.
1: Throw it in an unrelated bey, sort of like how Driger F had Zan in Random Booster 14.
2: Do what they did with the B-123/B-124 launcher sets with the Xtend+ chip and Proof frame, including the other armor piece (probably the Defense one) in an additional product. This one sorta sucks.
3: Throw both armor pieces in the prize box and then make the rest of the booster heavier to make up for the added weight. 1B is rather lightweight as a double chassis, so... could 2 armor pieces plus the stock Infinite Achilles weigh as much as 1A, 2A, 3A, 2S, and 2D on other rings? GT beys with Wheel/GT disks? 00 on a frame? Charge'/Orbit Metal/Yard Metal/Bullet?
The third one gives me some serious hope here that this could actually be one of the best random boosters we've seen to date, though two Infinite rings would also be pretty sweet in its own right and make it easier to test the different modes against one another.
Because one is sword is straight and the other is curved, maybe that creates more recoil

Definitely this. I hope it's an alternate colour evolution to an older Achilles (DOUBTFUL).
Like, Holy Knight Achilles (with the yellow) or Purple/Gold Achilles that came with the Korean set.
With Infinite and its gimmicks tbh it seems kinda bizarre for Infinite Achilles to be in a Random Booster. Infinite itself has the Infinite Sword and Infinite Shield rings or whatever to put onto Infinite and it has a double chassis it may not be that strange though from the past 2 random boosters with Superking Beys we only got Superking Beys with Single Chassis no Double Chassis

I doubt they will do the thing with Driger since that was done for advertising Rise. And making the pieces come different prize beys would mean that 3 beys in the same booster would require the Infinite ring. I think both pieces will come with Achilles but will increase the random booster price to make more money from it
I just realized Achilles has 12 modes
this bey is like the god of customization xD

18 because you can probably also choose not to equip the shield or swords.
Im hoping both come with Achilles or its just packaged in with the second prize bey as an extra part.
I don’t want a second Infinite layer in this RBV. It would take away from the specialness of Achilles.
I’d also prefer it isn’t bundled with a launcher set like Xtend+/Proof frame for $ reasons.
I bet the prize is going to be Achilles with no swords, and they’ll just be packaged with some random cho-z bey.

the rings will probably be in the random booster. It would be disappointing if they made the Ifinite Rings be in the booster counted as full beys.
The true question is: will Takara-Tomy fix the Union Achilles main problem (lack of metal, please TT throw painted plastic in the trash can)?

Probably plastic anyway.

I had a similar thought as well.
But if Achilles is an RB prize bey, perhaps prize 1 is sword mode and prize 2 is shield mode... $$$
Is it the Infinite Achilles gonna come out in that booster?

And amen to that. We really don’t need it to have more than it’s returning gimmick.
I hope that they make stamina mode metal and the other modes plastic (I wish they had done that with Union where speed mode had metal and the Union blades were plastic).

There is no stamina mode (at least, there hasn't been a stamina mode leaked yet) and, while anything's possible, its EXTREMELY unlikely that they would make one of the Infinite attachments (Infinite Attack and Infinite Defense) out of metal, b/c metal contact points bad.

By stamina I meant without attachments.

Well there are 6 different modes for dimension. Then there is the infinite shield, infinite sword and potentially a mode without either of the sub rings.

It wouldn't really be a "mode" without any attachments then, would it?
And if Stamina mode without attachments had metal, how would the Attack and Defense modes not have metal as well?
