Really though it gives me Spriggan vibes more, though that could just be the angle.
I think imitate like the metal blades on top of plastic blades of Z Achilles because that would be cool to see since I think it would really give the "swords" vibe. Everyone thought Union's blades were metal but wasn't, which was kinda dissapointing imo.

If you look closely you can see those two tiny gaps followed by the edges of the reversed swords. Personally I think it might actually be the second sparking bey after Valkyrie to not retain its gimmick because while it does have those two swords it seems pretty round so maybe the ring actually does have some beat lynx mode change type of thing going on here.
Ok I basically thought this silhouette looked like spriggan too, but if this does get a beat lynx type gimmick with the ring, than that will go with my previous speculations. Either way, I hope this bey has some good parts

Agree. It looks pretty round to me as well. But maybe it's just the angle. It would be really awesome if at least the slope of sparking Achilles' sword would trend a bit upward.

And a good gimmick that could be used for competitions as well.
I wonder why Hasbro change Aiga name?
Aiga ▶Aiger is OK.
But his family name has meaning.
In Japan his family name is Akaba and means red sword.
But in USA his family name Akabane means red wing.

Well somehow it feels as if americans and europeans may have some difficulty in pronouncing the japanese names.. Thats my best guess as i am not an american nor an european

If you can read Akabane I think you can read Akaba Can't you?

like i said i have no idea at all as i can easily pronounce aiga akaba. Closest analogy that i can give is that many of the words in my language have also been modified ( when translated in english) such as 'rama' instead or 'ram' and so on
this silhouette is very similar to the new spriggan
This is just me or am I seeing things anyway looks like it will have blitz and the silhouette seems to make achilles look like a pure Cz A, so maybe this bey will have a single chassis probably 2B and a new driver

The driver will probably be dimension', but I could be wrong.

If not dimension' and/or xtend+, what then? For me, I hope it will be a better version or variant of xtend+

Then can really just make an entirely new driver. Heck, they can make a metal Xtend+ as some people have said earlier.

If they were to make a new mode changing driver, I actually wonder what it would look like.
Judging by the silhouette it might have
1.) cho z awakening gimmick since it looks round
2.) mode changing gimmick that silhouette is probably the defense mode or stamina or whatever it is
The Silhouette gives me a feeling that this will be more of a Spriggan than an Achillies judging by its round design

Its Achilles for sure, since Achilles is the next one in the anime.
I don't know how people still think this is a Spriggan. It's quite easy to determine this is Achilles. The Two swords are going upwards like Achilles's design. The two typical "shields" between the swords is also easily visible which follows Achilles' design. Also, the next few episodes of the anime are centered towards Legends' Festival and Aiga's debut so Achilles is obviously going to be this release.
It makes sense why Spriggan will be in that Random Booster on October. Also for the parts I do expect a new double chassis in Achilles (2B?) and possibly Dimension'.
TBH, I don't think it's going to be another xtend or xtend+ with other variations. They can easily plot a Dimension' as it was originally released in the previous Achilles. PLUS, There is NO other bey to follow the same driver of it's previous generation besides a few exceptions such as Cho-Z Spriggan and Mad Minoboros. (Cho-Z Spriggan cuz they were lazy to make another new driver for Spriggan, and Minoboros cuz they didn't have another jumping driver back then before Operate even came out.)
I don't know why no one posted this

It has that Spriggan shape, but we know its Achilles.
I see how it could look like both in some ways. You'd think it would have some blades that stick out pretty far after having Union... maybe there's some sort of gimmick

It's possible that the silhouette is of a Defense mode to throw us off.

I don't think that's likely. I think maybe the silhouette is tilted, similar how that did that with the Union silhouette.

Of course it's tilted. Plus, I said it's possible. I never said it's a 100% chance. If this isn't a Defense Mode for the new Achilles, then that'll surely be interesting. One last thing, there's a part of the silhouette near the bottom that looks strikingly similar to the Blitz Disk, which might be some kind of hint, but I'm not sure.
