Drive Chip - Roktavor R7

Main article: Drive Chip - Roktavor R7

Hasbro's Roktavor R7 is a right-spin Drive Chip that features two symmetrical heads representing Ragnaruk, a winged demon. Roktavor R7 has an average weight for Drive Chips and low Burst Resistance. Thus Roktavor R7 is outclassed by other tighter right-spin Drive Chips.

Gravity Ring - 6

Main article: Gravity Ring - 6

Hasbro's 6 is a Gravity Ring based on Takara Tomy's 6 Armor. As such it retains the same general shape as 6, with six square protrusions and small nubs between each. Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart however, it is made of plastic instead of metal, and as such its weight has been reduced from about 13.4 grams to 1.5 grams. In theory, 6 has an even weight distribution at six points to increase Stamina. In practice however, since all Gravity Rings are plastic instead of metal like Takara Tomy's Armors, they are all around the same weight and offer no differences in performance, with the main difference between them being only aesthetic. As any differences in the weight distribution of a Combination are negligible, it is difficult to suggest using a particular Gravity Ring over another. Furthermore, most QuadDrive System Layers are lightweight and thus outclassed by heavier Layers.

Forge Disc - Giga-Q

Main article: Forge Disc - Giga-Q

Hasbro's Giga-Q is a symmetrical, octagon-shaped QD Disc based on Takara Tomy's Giga. It retains the same diameter and general shape as its Takara Tomy counterpart, but is thinner overall with a hollowed out underside; it is consequently about 8 grams lighter. Its weight is comparable to the likes of the Core Discs 0 and 00; however the aforementioned Core Discs can facilitate Disc Frames, which can increase their weight further, while Giga-Q cannot. As Giga-Q is purely a weaker version of Giga, there is no reason to use Giga-Q over the latter.

Performance Tip - Assault-Q

Main article: Performance Tip - Assault-Q

Assault-Q is an Attack Type Performance Tip and Hasbro's QuadDrive counterpart to Assault. Like its normal counterpart, Assault-Q features a wide flat tip and retains the same general shape. The wider surface area of the flat tip creates speeds greater than Performance Tips such as Accel, but comes at the cost of control and Stamina. Due to its speed, it is more difficult to perform a flower pattern by Banking or performing a Sliding Shoot with Assault-Q. Consequently, Assault-Q is most useful against Mobile Combinations that wander close to the Tornado Ridge.

Assault-Q features a slightly modified shape to accommodate two attachment points for an Armor Tip. Like all QuadDrive Performance Tips, an Armor Tip can be attached to Assault-Q, switching it to "Plus Mode". In this mode, Assault-Q is essentially replaced by the Armor Tip, and the height becomes similar to a SpeedStorm Performance Tip. As Assault-Q features a strong spring and thus high Burst Resistance, it is recommended to use Assault-Q as the base QuadDrive Performance Tip for an Armor Tip.

Armor Tip - Never

Main article: Armor Tip - Never

Hasbro's Never is an Armor Tip version of the Never Performance Tip. Like all Armor Tips, it can be attached to QuadDrive Performance Tips via two attachment points. When attached to a QuadDrive Performance Tip, it is referred to as the "Plus Mode", essentially replacing the QuadDrive Performance Tip as the main contact point with the stadium floor. The subsequent height becomes similar to that of a SpeedStorm Performance Tip. A QuadDrive Performance Tip with high Burst Resistance, such as Orbit-Q, is recommended.

Like other Armor Tips, it bears a resemblance to its Performance Tip counterpart, albeit with its shape modified and gimmick removed. the Never Armor Tip retains the sharp tip it is not free-spinning; furthermore, the polyoxymethylene (POM) plastic surrounding the tip has been removed. The sharp tip creates low friction with the stadium floor, resulting in high Stamina. However, this low friction between the tip and the stadium floor makes Never Armor Tip Combinations susceptible to Knock-Outs and thus have poor Knock-Out Resistance.
