Gravity Ring - 2[]
- Main article: Gravity Ring - 2
Hasbro's 2 is a Gravity Ring based on Takara Tomy's 2 Armor. As such it retains the same general shape as 2, with two pointed ends opposite to each other. Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart however, it is made of plastic instead of metal, and as such its weight has been reduced from about 13.7 grams to 1.5 grams. In theory, 2 has an even weight distribution at two opposite points to increase Attack. 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 difficult to suggest using a particular Gravity Ring over another. Furthermore, most QuadDrive System Layers are lightweight and thus outclassed by heavier Layers.
Forge Disc - Aquilon'-Q[]

Aquilon'-Q is a three-sided QD Disc, with protrusions forming a triangular shape. Although intended for three-sided QD and QS Blades, Aquilon'-Q has very poor weight distribution and Stamina.
Performance Tip - Needle-Q[]
- Main article: Performance Tip - Needle-Q
Needle-Q is a Defense Type Performance Tip and Hasbro's QuadDrive counterpart to Needle. It consequently features small bumps on the area surrounding the tip. The studded design is meant to increase friction with the stadium floor to prevent Knock-Outs. Like its SpeedStorm counterpart and unlike its normal and SlingShock counterparts, the tip of Needle-Q has been flattened instead of being a ball. This change is intended to increase speed in a QuadDrive System Beystadium. As Needle was already outclassed, the flat tip of Needle-Q renders it even worse competitively. Other flat Performance Tips serve the role of an Attack Type Performance Tip better, and Needle-Q has too low Stamina and Knock-Out (KO) Resistance to be effective for Defense. Its Burst Resistance is also low due to a weak spring.
Unlike its normal, SlingShock, and SpeedStorm counterparts, Needle-Q features a modified shape and two attachment points to accommodate the use of an Armor Tip. Like all QuadDrive Performance Tips, an Armor Tip can be attached to Needle-Q, switching it to "Plus Mode". In this mode, Needle-Q is essentially replaced by the Armor Tip, and the height becomes similar to a SpeedStorm Performance Tip.
Armor Tip - Hunter[]
- Main article: Armor Tip - Hunter
Hasbro's Hunter is an Armor Tip version of the Hunter Performance Tip. Like all Armor Tips, it can be attached to QuadDrive Performance Tips via two attachment points. When attached to a QuadDrive Performance Tip, it is referred to as the "Plus Mode", essentially replacing the QuadDrive Performance Tip as the main contact point with the stadium floor. The subsequent height becomes similar to that of a SpeedStorm Performance Tip.
Unlike most Armor Tips, Hunter barely resembles its Performance Tip counterpart, with only a vague similarity in shape. Like other Armor Tips, Hunter lacks any gimmicks and is a solid plastic piece, and thus lacks the rubber of its Performance Tip counterpart.
