It looks really cool and it could potentially be competitive with the Awakening Gimmick like Tempest was. Also, I really would like to slap the D Gear onto my Nexus, it might be a Good Replacement for Nexus+S since I don't want to have to buy the Whole Astral Spriggan Set and I wanted to get Tempest but didn't want to spend the money for it but now it is just in a Booster but upgraded lol. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick this up when I get the chance, and Karama and Charge Metal' are good releases to pick up. I really have a lot of High Hopes for this Bey and I'll be sad if it turns out not to be good lol.

There's also the nice detail I saw someone point out that the 2 big rainbow stickers have GT on them.

I know Tempest was, but the TT parts page never seemed to mention anything about springs or bound attack, as I imagine the Dragon chip is meant to do that instead. For all we know, it could just be loose wings. Looking at how Chain Kerbeus didn't retain any kind of bound gimmick, I can't help but wonder about Gatling too.

The design overall really is just Tempest Part 2 and i'm not really too surprised that the Dragon Core has a bound core, i just hope the teeth are better executed than they were with Valkyrie1.

Charge Metal' is lol but i had a feeling they would release it at some point.

Its best that everyone to not expect all new part. Its a surprised that kerbeus got a new disc. Honestly thats probably the best they will do 1 new part (Not counting the layer and chip)once awhile like a new disc, driver or Armor with a 1 bey each lol

The thing is, Charge Metal' doesn't really count as a new part in my opinion, it's merely an upgrade of a driver that was never really that good. An actual new driver or a new Armor for Dragon would've made more sense and would've been more cooler than Dashing pre-existing Drivers and giving an Armor that doesn't even make sense for an attack type bey like Dragon. Even if Gatling or Dragon is good, for me the only point of value and interest in this release is the D-Gear imo.

Agreed. Like, I'm happy that we got Charge Metal' but it really should've been put in the Kerbeus RB instead. Granted, it's probably difficult to come up with a new "evolution" to previously used drivers, since Dragon's really only had Charge, Ignition', and Charge Metal. It's kind of in the same boat as Longinus and several other motifs in that regard, where you eventually get to a point where there's nothing else you can really do with that driver design.
