The Shogun Ripcord Launcher (Japanese: ZEROG コンパクトなランチャー, Zero-G Compact Launcher) is a Launcher created for and is intended to be used in the Synchrom System. It was released under the Beyblade: Shogun Steel toyline and like the original Ripcord Launcher, it was released with all Beyblade starters, originally with Samurai Ifrit W145CF in Japan.
Its alternative is the ZeroG Light Launcher.
Hasbro has released the Shogun Ripcord Launcher in Fall 2013 with the Samurai Cyclone Battle Set.
Overview[]
Appearance[]
Compared to the original Light Launcher, the Zero-G Compact Launcher appears resembles an upgraded version. Firstly, the Shogun Ripcord Launcher appears more bulky and detailed, along with being thicker. Secondly, there is now a tool-like property constructed at the Launcher's right side, therefore it allows the same function as a tool but together with the Launcher. Next, there is a small white pocket where the Zero-G ripcord is inserted. Lastly, there is a hole at the bottom where the Beyblade is inserted in order to be launched.
The Zero-G ripcords resemble the Light Launcher 2 variants, but slightly more thicker and they come in an array of colours. They are not solely in a black colour, as a result.
Performance[]
Also compared to its opposite, the ZeroG Light Launcher has a gear ratio that is 1.1x superior than the Compact Launcher; and appears to make it much easier to launch in the Zero-G Beystadiums. Yet in general, the Shogun Ripcord Launcher performs just like a basic Light Launcher 2, sharing the same gear ratio as well.
