The Cyclone Beystadium is a Stadium released by Hasbro as part of the Beyblade: Shogun Steel toyline. It is the Hasbro equivalent of Takara Tomy's ZeroG Stadium Balance Type, and was included with the Samurai Cyclone Battle Set.
Description[]
The Cyclone Beystadium is the first Beystadium released by Hasbro for the Beyblade: Shogun Steel toyline. Like Takara Tomy's ZeroG Beystadiums, it is intended to have a swaying gimmick, and thus the bottom of the Stadium sits on the floor. The Cyclone Beystadium shares some some attributes with Takara Tomy's ZeroG Stadium Balance Type, sharing the same general shape. However, the Cyclone Beystadium is shorter and not as wide; the smaller size is due to price point and packaging constraints. The Cyclone Beystadium is also round on its underside, retaining the swaying gimmick; the ZeroG Stadium Balance Type has a flat bottom to prevent swaying.
Furthermore, the Cyclone Beystadium uses four clips instead of three, and is round on all sides excluding the penalty pockets. Another importance difference is the lack of Stadium exits. Takara Tomy ZeroG Stadiums feature cut-out holes for Beyblades to be Knocked Out of the Stadium. The Cyclone Beystadium instead has two penalty pockets, similar to what Hasbro had previously used for their Stadiums. However, this results in the Stadium being imbalanced, leaning towards the side with the penalty pockets. Due to Hasbro's decision to make the Beystadium's shape round (removing the straight side opposite of the penalty pockets), the swaying gimmick is retained, although the effect is less noticeable than Takara Tomy's ZeroG Stadium Attack Type.
