Attack Ring - Turtle Survivor is a Attack Ring released as part of the Spin Gear System. It debuted with the release of Metal Draciel and Master Dranzer.

Description[]

Turtle Survivor is a thin AR that has four wings which are headed by beaks. Two of the wings have two sharp ends which provide smash attack. The other two have blunt bulges at the end and these parts only create recoil. This AR is quite variable with completely different uses in right and left spin. In right spin the pointed ends of the wings deliver violent smash attack. While it is equal to other top tier smash attack ARs such as Triple Wing and Cross Griffon it has lots of recoil and breakage issues due to how thin it is on the sharp ended points which make it less desirable than the other two. In left spin the AR has use in Zombie types with the points on the end of the four wings stealing spin and wings lining up well with Wide Survivor weight disk which is the best one for Zombie combos. However the points on the AR which go over the Wide Survivor weight disk are this AR's downfall as they provide recoil which impedes its performance. As such it is outclassed by other ARs such as Tiger defenser, Scissors Attacker or Twin Horn and apart from Twin horn these are not hard to find.

Weight Disk - Wide Defense[]

  • Weight: 15 Grams

Wide Defense has a completely circular shape with six inset notches and one outset notch. Despite its rather large width, it is relatively light; roughly the same weight as Ten Balance and more than a gram lighter than Ten Heavy.

Spin Gear - Right SG[]

Main article: Spin Gear - Right SG

Right Spin Gears allow for right spin when used in tandem with Right-Spin Shooters. In a Right-Spin Spin Gear, two tabs (situated close to the right sides of the Spin Gear) would attach to the Right-Spin Shooter, allowing a Beyblade to be spun clockwise.

They have plastic casing surrounding a metal ring and gear which is placed into the Blade Base and held in place by base clips. The core (centre pieces) is not interchangeable in Standard Spin Gears. Different variations have now been released that feature weights, bearings and even an engine inside the Spin Gear.

Blade Base - Metal Ball Base[]

Main article: Blade Base - Metal Ball Base

Metal Ball Base is the most valuable part in this Beyblade. It has the screw-in base from the 4-layer system which gives the impression of it being out of date, but it is still a good defense type base in due to the additional weight that can be added to it. MBD comes with one set of metal balls that go inside the BB.

When spinning rapidly, the metal balls in MBD's base roll up the ramps inside to a position closer to the outside of the blade. This gives a higher center of gravity and increased stability, due to a more uniform distribution of overall weight. As the blade slows down, the force of gravity overcomes the centrifugal force and the metal balls roll back down the ramps towards the center of the blade. This hampers balance and stability, but increases spin time. The concept is to essentially remain motionless (in the lateral plane) for the first half of the battle, and then outlast the opponent's blade near the end. However, the design is somewhat flawed, in that the ramps aren't very steep at all, so nearly any rotational motion causes the metal balls to slide up the ramps.
