Yeah they do. They're Beyblade Burst. 3 parts: Layer, disk, driver.

Layer is the top part that you see on the pictures above. Each layer has teeth on the bottom to determine the strength of the locking mechanism. Attack types have it strongest while defensive has it weakest. Of course the locking mechanism refers to the burst mechanic where the driver and layer move across the teeth until the reach the end where the beyblade simply just bursts apart. Layers are plastic and are where beys make the most contact on.

The Disk is just a metal disk that mostly determines movement considering it weighs the most. Heavier means more stable or hits harder while high and smooth is more aerodynamics for mobility. Drivers are the bottom part that locks together with layers and have the tip on the bottom. They're all the same height as well. Some are just remakes of metal fight tips (Accel is Flat tip, Survive is Semi Defense, Xtreme is rubber flat.) while others are improvements on older parts (Hold is an upgraded and better Circle Flat, Claw is a better claw spin track, Gyro is a much better Eternal Sharp.

Of course we have some unique parts too. Liner is a driver that is a a wheel at the bottom that can spin like a wheel, but also spins like a coin on a table creating some unique attack movements.

Dang. I never before realized the intricacies of what was basically fancy spinning tops.

Fondling GemsJan 5, 20171 votes

I know right? Here I thought they were just fancy dreidels.

AirKingNeoJan 5, 20171 votes

This is what happens when you used to play with them and you're friend who buys practically everything beyblade pulls you back into it.

But hey, at least this time attack types are strong.

Attack types always were. I ran a Quetzelcoatl Nemesis Turtle thing idk what its called now and whatever the type transition one was in attack and it rest everything in 1-3 hits while being unkillible because being hit would prop it back up. It even lasted for 30 seconds on grass. #TOTALLYNOTOP

but yeah, some attackers were bad. Some really stood out though.

Whoah! I never realized there was anything to Beyblades. :0

AirKingNeoJan 5, 20171 votes

Launching patterns for attack types is interesting too. Launching it in the center to hit the opponent then it starts circling around thus hitting the target further and further away from the center is one launch. Angling your launch to hit the opponent in the center with a barrage of a attacks is another is another. Massive angling for drivers like Impact and Hold to smash the opponent is even harder to pull off.

Wait, they released more Beyblades? Dear god those actually look cool, can they still have their parts swapped around?

AirKingNeoJan 5, 20171 votes

3 part system: layer, disk, driver. Plus the bursting mechanic makes attack types always relevant. You can probably look up any unboxing video to see what it's all about.

Legacy HydralphaJan 5, 20172 votes

Dang this sounds way more complicated than I remember, I think the ones I had were like this.

AirKingNeoJan 5, 20171 votes

Not really. Back then you have Bitbeast (the useless facepiece), the top layer, the metal layer, the engine gear (the the parts of if to work with specific bottoms), and the bottom.

Legacy HydralphaJan 5, 20171 votes

That sounds like what it was, I remember there being an extra part between the metal layer and bottom.

Papa AndreiJan 5, 20176 votes

Wait Beyblade is still a thing? I remember playing those when i was like 5 and the most complicated had a cool sticker on it

JusticePauldronsJan 5, 20171 votes

Alright, I never got into the new beyblades because the last ones seemed cheap. But god damn those are super cool looking.

DanjengJan 5, 201717 votes

Hehehe, and you going to make them grind up against each other, right? You sly dog.

The thumbnail...I see what you did there!

######There is a part 2 of this (I think this is the artist), where the real Katarina and Garen gives him a beating over that doll play...until he turns into Mega Gnar and uses the both of them as dolls. But I am unable to find it, neither on the net or the one I got locally stored somewhere. >-<

CowseedJan 5, 20173 votes

Well I 'figured' it would be something like this.

AAhhh? Ahh? :3

JusticePauldronsJan 5, 20173 votes

Beyblades were super fun until you figured out the formula. Let's face it, whoever had the better weight disk won. I customized my Draciel with a modified weight disk which made it basically indestructible and left it in the center of the stadium, it was the best way you could piss off your friends who would send theirs bouncing around just to waste energy and bounce off it.

Heretic LunariJan 5, 20172 votes

They were indeed, I remember when i was in elementary school everyone had them, except me. Because I hated how they aren't as cool as the anime lol.
