Also, the rubber kinda looks like it's both higher and a little more in than the plastic below it, if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully it has better consistent rubber unlike Brave.

thats not rubber, its blades that can pop out. You're seeing the image with the blades out.

Oop, thought it was rubber cause of Imperial.

I think it has something more to do with the ring expanding in battle, with the more launches you get.

the pop out blades also should be able to rebound opponents away, retaining the wing recoil/bound stinger rebound gimmick

Honestly I don't think theres enough room for a spring gimmick.  I still think its more likely, that the layer will gradually expand in battle.

yes there is, the blades could just be spring loaded and launch other beys. I think its more likely instead of slowly coming out they'll just come out when Dragon is hit hard enough, and also be able to rebound while out.

or it could be that the blades come out with a hit so hard they rebound other beys

They'd have to heavily nerf the tempest ring in order to add that.  There would have to be at least 2 layers on the ring itself, but there would also have to be springs and a locking mechanism in the ring itself.

SO what? Having them shoot out would work better in battle. slowly coming out isn't as appealing, and while they're in the middle of coming out they can barely do anything. Them shooting out during (battle or at least just coming out without an impact) makes more sense imo.

It doesn't matter if it's more appealing.  It matters if it's actually possible.

Yeah, it possible. And its more appealing so TT can make appealing trailers. We already know they will come out. Yeah, maybe they wont come out super fast and deal lots of damage, but coming out slowly just doesn't seem likely to me. Even if the wings used centrifugal force it should still come out at a decent speed.

I'm just saying I don't think there are springs in it.  There are other ways to persue the evolving gimmick than having springs.  I design beyblade as a living ( keep in mind I'm 13 lol ) so I know what I'm talking about.

Maybe not, but I dont think the blades will come out slowly (as you said earlier).

well gradually means they would come out over time. Thats slower then them just shooting out and staying out.

yes, they gradually come out and I got it wrong for saying slowly. But if they want to make the blades just shoot out with a big "shock" as they said, it would be easier to just incorporate springs or some kind of small launching mechanism instead of coming out gradually. I
