Face Bolt - Aries[]
- Main article: Face Bolt - Aries
The Aries Face Bolt depicts "Aries", the first astrological sign in the Zodiac. Aries is one of the 88 constellations in space, and is depicted in the design as a ram skull, with the word "ARIes" below it. Some Hasbro releases, such as Torch Aries 125D, omit the word and enlarge the ram skull.
Energy Ring - Aries[]
- Main article: Energy Ring - Aries
Aries is an Energy Ring featuring three "heads" which point outwards, forming a triangular perimeter. The design features rock-like protrusions, and the word "ARIES" is displayed on the stickers.
Fusion Wheel - Rock[]
- Main article: Fusion Wheel - Rock
Rock has six large protrusions with small, shallow gaps between each one. It also overhangs the Spin Track much like the original Leone Metal Wheel, although to a smaller extent. Rock is outclassed by later releases, with its weight being unable to compete with most Fusion Wheels, and its rounded shape being too passive to be any real threat in Attack combinations.
Spin Track - Eternal Defense 145[]
- Main article: Spin Track - Eternal Defense 145
Eternal Defense 145 (ED145) features three "wings" that can freely spin around the Spin Track. The wings and overall design are similar to Wide Defense 145 (WD145). Because of the wings' free spinning nature, Eternal Defense 145 mainly finds use in Defense Type combinations. However, Eternal Defense 145 is not as effective as others such as Boost Disk 145 (BD145), or even Claw 145 (C145), as it is unable to absorb hits effectively. The wings lack the mechanism of a bearing, hence creating friction between the wings and body of the Spin Track, resulting in less hit absorption.
Performance Tip - Ball[]
- Main article: Performance Tip - Ball
Ball (B) is a hemispherical plastic tip, providing a large area for contacting the stadium floor, hence increasing friction. Ball's shape also makes the Bey tend to stay in the center of the stadium, making ideal for use in Defense combinations.

Trivia[]
- Hasbro mistakenly categorizes Rock Aries as a Balance Type on its product releases.
- However, on BeybladeBattles.com, Rock Aries is the correct Defense Type.
- Two variants of the Starter Pack exist. The first initial release had black packaging, and a generic code card featuring the Metal Fusion cast. Subsequent reprints have the regular blue packaging, and a proper code card featuring Hyoma.
