- This article is about Hasbro's QS Disc. For Takara Tomy's DB Disc, see Forge Disc - Xanthus.
Xanthus-Q is a Forge Disc released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System and QuadStrike System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the Xcalius Power Speed Launcher Set.
Description
Hasbro's Xanthus-Q is a QS Disc based on Takara Tomy's Xanthus. As such, it has an asymmetrical shape like its Takara Tomy counterpart, which is intended to align with similarly imbalanced Layers such as the Xiphoid QS Blade. However, unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart, Xanthus-Q does not consist of a inner metal piece and outer plastic piece; it is instead a single metal piece, with a perimeter mimicking the design of the plastic piece of Xanthus. Xanthus-Q also lacks the "BU Lock" gimmick, featuring the "Xn" abbreviation in place of the BU Locks of the original Xanthus. Like other QD and QS Discs, Xanthus-Q is hollowed out on its underside, reducing its weight by about 9 grams. At an average weight of 23.5 grams, Xanthus-Q is the lightest QD/QS Disc released. As Xanthus-Q is purely a weaker version of the original Xanthus, there is no reason to use Xanthus-Q over Xanthus.
