The Bit Protector is constructed entirely of blue ABS caul plastic and comes complete with two sticker decor options:

The RC is probably one of the best features of this Beyblade because of its ability to switch from attack mode to Endurance mode. The RC of this Blade is different in Hasbro than in Takara and have few differences. The Takara version suffers from balance issues at lower spin velocities, whereas the Hasbro version attempted to address this issue by giving it a Semi-Flat tip, but while improved the balance problem, its performance suffered in the stamina category. Either don’t make much movement unless placed on attack mode which has an overpowering speed causing the blade to fly out of the stadium constantly. One of the earlier Hasbro releases has this problem worsened because the base is wider and flatter, causing the beyblade to violently attack. In Endurance mode most movement is made in the center of the Bey-stadium which can be good or bad depending on the opponent.

Overall Review

The Dranzer MS Beyblade features a manual switch gimmick in its (SC) that enables the player to adapt to different situations without resorting to customization. This Manual Change Core allows Dranzer MS to switch between attack and stamina modes after each round. This gimmick was seen in an earlier model of Dranzer Beyblade: the Dranzer Spiral. Overall, the Dranzer MS performs decently, but the height of the Manual Change Core compromises the effectiveness of the Spiral Upper (AR).

Trivia

• When first released, the head of the Spiral Upper attack ring was somewhat fragile and broke at some point. Takara has now fixed this problem.
• Other Versions:
  • 5 Saints Booster pack: Grey.
  • HMS Booster Act 4: Pink and Red.
  • The sono kong RC seems to be thin and also very fragile as well.
