Gambit Dragon D8 Karma-Q Zephyr-Q+Eruption-4' is a Balance and Attack Type Beyblade that is a part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System and the QuadStrike System. It was released in western countries as a part of the Gambit Dragon D8 and Ambush Achilles A8 Dual Pack for USD$16.99 in the United States.
It is the successor to Triumph Dragon Charge Metal 1A in the anime and Triumph Dragon D6 Armed Charge Metal-SPM in the toyline.
Strike Chip - Dragon D8
- Main article: Strike Chip - Dragon D8
Hasbro's Dragon D8 is a right-spin Strike Chip that features the head and claws of a dragon, the Strike Chip's namesake. Dragon D8 has an above average weight for Strike Chips and high Burst Resistance.
Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart, Dragon D8 does not have the "Bound Attack" gimmick. Despite this, non-functional details resembling the spring used for the gimmick are molded onto the Strike Chip.
QS Blade - Gambit
- Main article: QS Blade - Gambit
Hasbro's Gambit is a right-spin Attack Type QS Blade based on Takara Tomy's Gatling BU Blade. Gambit has a round shape similar to its Takara Tomy counterpart's pre-gimmick activation "Slashing Hit Mode". Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart, Gambit is a single plastic piece and does not have a mode change gimmick, and is unable to switch into a "Consecutive Hit Mode". Despite its Attack Type classification, due to its round shape, Gambit is best suited for Stamina Combinations. Its general shape is nearly identical to Hasbro's SpeedStorm System Triumph Ring, and as such provides the same traits along with a heavier combined Layer weight. Like other QD and QS Blades, Gambit can switch between Apex and Core Modes by swapping the position of the Gravity Ring from the top of the QS Blade (Apex) to below it (Core). Furthermore, the 4 and 4' Gravity Rings are recommended, as they are the heaviest Gravity Rings available, weighing 1.7 grams each.
Gravity Ring - 4'
- Main article: Gravity Ring - 4'
Hasbro's 4' is a Gravity Ring with an octagonal shape, with eight sides of varying length. In theory, 4' has an even weight distribution at eight points to increase stability. In practice however, since all Gravity Rings are plastic instead of metal like Takara Tomy's Armors, they are all around the same weight and offer no differences in performance, with the main difference between them being only aesthetic. As any differences in the weight distribution of a Combination are negligible, it is generally recommended to use the heaviest Gravity Rings, which are 4, 4', 10, and 10'.
Forge Disc - Karma-Q
- Main article: Forge Disc - Karma-Q
Hasbro's Karma-Q is a QD Disc based on Takara Tomy's Karma. It retains the ten upward sloping blades along its perimeter, meant to create Upper Force in Left-Spin and Down Force in Right-Spin. However, the blades have been shortened, and the number of edges reduced. Furthermore, the lower half of Karma has essentially been removed, making the Disc thinner overall and reducing its weight by 4 grams. As Karma-Q is purely a weaker version of Karma, there is no reason to use Karma-Q over the latter.
Performance Tip - Zephyr-Q
- Main article: Performance Tip - Zephyr-Q
Zephyr-Q is Hasbro's QuadDrive counterpart to the Zephyr Performance Tip, and thus features a hollow plastic flat tip with a small diameter. Like its normal counterpart, this design creates an aggressive movement pattern, which can be controlled by launching at an angle. Its speed is comparable to that of Accel, capable of reaching and stalling on the Tornado Ridge. Like other plastic flat tips, Zephyr-Q can lose its Banking Pattern somewhat easily, and the low friction means that Zephyr-Q is liable to Self-Knock-Outs.
Zephyr-Q features a slightly modified shape compared to its normal counterpart, and two attachment points to accommodate the use of an Armor Tip. Like all QuadDrive Performance Tips, an Armor Tip can be attached to Zephyr-Q, switching it to "Plus Mode". In this mode, Zephyr-Q is essentially replaced by the Armor Tip, and the height becomes similar to a SpeedStorm Performance Tip.
