Tempo or Horogium (ホロギウム, Horogiumu) is an Energy Ring released by Takara Tomy. It debuted in Japan with the release of the BB-104 Starter Basalt Horogium 145WD on February 26, 2011, and in western countries with the release of the BB-104 Starter Pack Twisted Tempo 145WD.
Description
Tempo is a circular gear shaped Energy Ring with Roman numerals reminiscent of a clock decorating the circumference. There is a rectangular gap where "III" is supposed to be, and two clock hands causing irregular weight distribution.
A common misconception is the usage of the Roman numeral "IIII" instead of "IV" being an error by Takara Tomy/Hasbro. While the proper Roman numeral for the number 4 is "IV", "IIII" is commonly used on Roman numeral clocks, and hence its usage on the Tempo Energy Ring.
