Mad Minoboros (マッドミノボロス, Maddo Minoborosu) is an Energy Layer released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dual Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the BG-05 Random Layer Collection Vol. 5 on February 7th, 2017 and was later released in the B-90 3on3 Battle Booster Set on August 11th, 2017.
Description
Takara Tomy's Mad Minoboros is an Attack Type Layer, based on the Greek legend of the Minotaur. It has a shape similar to the original Minoboros, but it is more aggressive in design, with the blades being more curved and flared out. It still retains a similar imbalance, however, unlike Minoboros, this Layer has less Stamina due to its more aggressive design traits. Despite the design however, this Layer does not have as many major attack points as its predecessor and therefore is not as good at Burst Attack as the original. Mad Minoboros features strong teeth to the point of "sticking", it does little to compensate for the poor performance.
Overall
While Takara Tomy's Mad Minoboros does have strong teeth, its reduced Stamina compared to its predecessor, and the lack of notable attack points, makes this Layer outclassed by others such as Xcalibur or Valkyrie. Furthermore, with the release of the SwitchStrike/God Layer System, Mad Minoboros is too light to be competitive.
As such, Takara Tomy's Mad Minoboros is recommended for collection purposes only.
