haha It would indeed make more sense to have it jy-ra-fu
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - firelord767 - Jan. 29, 2010
Cow family? The first Giraffe was born of Chuck Norris uppercutting a horse.
Camelopardalis would have been a better name for this Beyblade, certainly. Why Girafu? Maybe this isn't a Giraffe after all. They didn't call Sagittario just Centaur, they got specific.

(at Chuck Norris)Camelopardalis is a long, confusing, and complicated enough word for an English speaker let alone a young Japanese child. Haven't you noticed the trend of simplifying some constellations' names; Taurus(Bull), Lupus(Wolf), Omniceros(Unicorn)...

Lol a giraffe, im imagining it being a tall blade
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - firelord767 - Jan. 29, 2010
Good point about the Japanese thing. There would always be a select few who would start complaining about how the names were shortened, while factoring how many ways it is possible to draw a heptadecagon. But then we have the NORMAL ones >.>
@ Beykid: 14.5 mm, sorry.
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - TheLVJ - Jan. 29, 2010
What does a 17 sided polygon have to do with constellations?
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - Zeox - Jan. 29, 2010
I think he means, You can draw a shape many different ways Like there are many ways to say a word
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - TheLVJ - Jan. 29, 2010
Meesa gets it now. The wording threw me off.
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - ChKn - Jan. 29, 2010
The face is gonna be so funny. Imagine an intense looking giraffe.

They would probably have to do an abbreviation like Sagittario if it was Cameloapardis(which the first thing that popped into my head was a camel
) to make it fit. Giraffe is much simpler and easier to identify. I'm sure TT has some clever way to display the face(as long as it doesn't look like Serpent).

I mean they'd be complaing that they can't use big words in a spinning top game, being such nerds that they even know what a Heptadecagon is at their age. I forgot to mention they're (the imaginary nerds), like, 8.

This has a rubber Track according to Mama-bey.
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - Benkei - Jan. 30, 2010
aghh you just beat me. Still this seems like it will be quite useless IMO.

RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - Benkei - Jan. 30, 2010
I suppose you are right. However the track name is very vague so there is little point in speculating anyway.
I was all excited this time, I had just read Mama-Bey's page and was returning to PM you to allow me to post but I found I was too late. You are a credit to this site on how quickly you obtain all of your information.

Consider the fact that TT has 88 official ones to chose from, any mythological beings/creatures or astronomical wonders to chose from.
In other words, "Nevah gonna happen!"
So...what happens when all the 88 constellations are used?

Takara Tomy shuts down beyblade production forever.
R145 sounds like it could potentially be like Roundshell, with a big ring of rubber around it.
If so, this release has jumped up huge on the list of things to get.
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - Bey Brad - Jan. 30, 2010
Seriously, Round Shell is one of the most underrated Beyblades ever. Thing could destroy WBMS.
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - firelord767 - Jan. 30, 2010
R145 sounds interesting. Rubber.
It could have uses on both sides of the Attack Defense spectrum. Maybe even some stamina. I have high hopes for this part.
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - Kei - Jan. 30, 2010
Praying that this will extend enough to have a similar effect to Grip Weight Core. I wonder if they'll be hesitant to include this in RBs, as they have been with RF.

The reason they leave parts like RF out is seriously due to manufacturing costs. Parts like RF, which are made of two materials and two pieces that need to be assembled together, are way more expensive to make (well, by "way more" I mean like 2-5 cents more, which adds up when you're making hundreds of thousands)

RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - firelord767 - Jan. 30, 2010
If someone says that this track will have a name that's not Rubber 145, this might become something like S Pegasis Starter's thread.
I'm curios to see, but who has any ideas of a name besides?
RE: BB-78 Rock Giraffe R145WB - Bey Brad - Jan. 31, 2010
maybe its "fiRelord stop posting" 145
