Don't forget about MooMoo Hurricane.

Quote:Metal Wheel: Thermal
Weight: 30.5 grams
The Thermal Metal Wheel consists of two large wings which are pointed at their respective beginnings and ends. Thermal is largely based on the Metal System Pisces, and as such, the three notches on the Wheel are representative of a shark's gills. Although it has relatively sharp contact points, they do not protrude far out enough to provide any significant Smash Attack. The Wheel does possess moderate Stamina capabilities due to its relatively round shape, but is considered outclassed for this purpose by Earth, Burn and Hell.

Quote:Note: Thermal Pisces T125ES was first released in BB-57 Hybrid Wheel Reshuffle Set (Stamina & Defense). It was later released as a Starter by Sonokong and Hasbro.

Face: Pisces
The Face depicts Pisces, the twelveth astrological sign of the Zodiac.

Clear Wheel: Pisces
Weight: 2.7 grams
Pisces was first released in a translucent midnight blue colour. Pisces depicts two sharks circling clockwise around each other with the head, dorsal fin, and tail of each shark breaking through a series of waves. This Clear Wheel is best combined with Screw, as its shape and slopes allow proper space to enhance Screw's own slopes and it does not get in its way for attacks, maximizing the contact areas.

Metal Wheel: Thermal
Weight: 30.5 grams
Thermal consists of two large wings in the shape of sharks with a small gap in between. This Metal Wheel is meant to be the Hybrid Wheel version of the Pisces Wheel. Each wing possesses three small notches which represent a shark's gills, and those wings also have a noticeable slope leading up to the thicker center. However, despite this slope, Thermal generates no observable Upper Attack. In addition, even though it has relatively sharp contact points, they do not protrude far enough outward to provide any significant Smash Attack. Although Thermal’s design is mostly continuous and interrupted by only two small gaps, it only has moderate Stamina qualities at best, and is outclassed by multiple Stamina Wheels such as even Earth and Burn. It can destabilize other Beyblades to an extent, but never good enough to find its way onto any period’s top-tier list.

Use in Stamina Customization
Thermal can be used in the Stamina Customization: Thermal Bull AD145WD.

Track: Tornado 125
Weight: 1.7 grams
T125 has four upward-facing wing protrusions spaced apart widely. The Track is designed to work in a similar way to DF145, although this effect of downward force it produces is highly negligible. The performance of this Track is similar to D125, and as a height, is generally overshadowed by CH120.

Use in Attack Customization
Although CH120 is considerably more versatile than T125, T125 can still be used to a moderate degree of effectiveness in MF Gravity Perseus T125R²F (Attack Version, Counter Mode). Metal Wheels that were released subsequently to Gravity and that do better in Attack, like VariAres and Blitz, can also fit well with T125 and other 125 Tracks, however the combination of Gravity and T125 is notable because Gravity cannot perform as well at any other height.

Bottom: Eternal Sharp
Weight: 1.0 grams

Eternal Sharp features a free-spinning tip attached to a metal shaft which is held by the Bottom. This part was one of the most heavily anticipated parts in the MFB lineup when first announced, but ES is actually a hugely disappointing part in terms of performance.

Firstly, ES lacks a metal bearing, which would significantly reduce the friction between the free-spinning tip and the rest of the Bottom. All of the best free-spinning tips, notably Bearing Core, had NSK Shield Bearings which allowed unhindered spin.
Secondly, the tip shape of ES is not conducive to optimum Stamina; the sharp nature of the Bottom means it is easily destabilized. Consequently, as all Sharp tips do, Eternal Sharp also has trouble regaining balance, hence making this a poor choice for Stamina. That said, ES still remains superior to BS and S as a Stamina Bottom.

Overall:
Thermal Pisces lacks any worthwhile parts. There is little reason to own this Beyblade outside of collection purposes.
