Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Bey Brad - Jan. 12, 2009
Credit goes to our affiliate Beyblade Spirit for the scan of this L-Drago promo.
Early in summer 2008 there were early promo images released for MFB, containing Beyblades referenced as Pegasis, Cheiron (renamed Sagitarrio), Leo (renamed Leone), Bull, Cancer and Quetzalcoatl. The Beyblade referenced as Cancer was released as Quetzalcoatl, meaning that the names were switched around. But this left me wondering whatever happened to Cancer? (I can confirm that neither Gemeos, Escorpio or Capricorne are Cancer.)
Then, I saw this image from the recent Corocoro and it struck me as familiar.

This seems to be confirmation that they still plan to produce this "Cancer" Beyblade in this form; it was simply delayed extensively.

A blue and white design for cancers face.... I hope its 100WF, then it would be ultimate destwuction ^^. I wonder if takara tomy was abandoning this and replacing it with a stamania beyblade(libra) to strengthen the stamania section due to that saggitaro was pretty bad. The wheel pretty much wrecked that beyblade. So they released libra, it became uber, also released virgo, made stamania pretty powerful, but with d125 it became too powerful. They had to strengthen attack types to beat stamania types(since now no one is seeming to defeat me when I use my LibraD125S combo) And this might be the solution they made up. Still, if my hypothesis is true, the defence uber beyblade would be... horrifying.

Cancer is the one pictured with a yellow face. The blue/white is L Drago.
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - happyeric12 - Jan. 12, 2009
Oh, sorry. I thought the L drago face looked pretty like a pincher sticking out seeing only half of the picture. I didn't really notice the wheel...>_<

You mean the beyblade in the background? Isn't that L Drago?
(late reply XD)Still, this is great. I wasn't around in the summer so I had no idea they had plans to release Cancer. I can't wait.

It does resemble Quetzalcoatl, however, the question is: Is it going to be an Upper Attacker or a Force Smasher?
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Giga - Jan. 12, 2009
look how many stars there are 0_o
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Werkbau - Jan. 12, 2009
oh, wow. I though that crushed beyblade was a random one for the pages.
Or that design is a rejected one.

Oh God I hope it's Upper Attack.
If the track is low enough it should be....

Quetzalcoatl did look like one where it wasn't so the same thing may be possible for it as well, however, if not it may be interesting...
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Maz - Jan. 12, 2009
Looks to me like the weel is built for survival.
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Bey Brad - Jan. 12, 2009
It has no relation to Quetzalcoatl except that its name was mixed up on the original promo images.
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Neeek - Jan. 12, 2009
somehow i think they will change the weel shape to look more like pinsers

So, I do not know about TAKARA-TOMY releasing that Wheel under "Cancer" ...

really? I dint know that witch is quite bad cause my sisters a cancer
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Rocky - Jan. 12, 2009
Well I never payed much attention to the horoscopes until the lasts few years so I only learnt recently.
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - G - Jan. 12, 2009
I'm liking the wing design it. I'm not too confident in its attack based off of the look though.
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Giga - Jan. 12, 2009
the upper attack looks considerable; depends on the spin direction

But the wings do kinda bounce out rather than dip in if that makes sense....and there are no notches or anything to make have a good attack. It's incredibly round which is more of a defense thing (less friction).......
I still want it to be Upper Attack though. XD
EDIT: Actually, there are a few notches....but it still has a kinda shield look about it. >.<
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Giga - Jan. 12, 2009
but L Drago destroyed it
jk
it kinda reminds me of wide defense
depends on the track
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Aqua - Jan. 12, 2009
The way its shaped makes it look more like a survival or/and defense blade. But it could be a good upper attack blade depending on the height of the blade and the angle of the wing on the wheel.
and i dont think takara-tomy should call it 'cancer'. lol but maybe crab would be better?
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Rocky - Jan. 12, 2009
How about Cancerous? Seeing as they like giving them all weird endings. >.<
Actually it would probably be Cancerio. To be honest I quite like that.
RE: Cancer spotted in L Drago promo? - Giga - Jan. 12, 2009
thats the name of the sign but it may be changed (EG Saggaritus (i cant spell that for chocolate) was changed to Chirion however it might not cause its in japan
it makes me think of supermen for some reason
