Stone Linwyrm L7 Fyquor-Q Zephyr-Q+Never-2' is a Balance and Stamina Type Beyblade that is a part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System. It was released in western countries as a QuadDrive Starter Pack for USD$11.99 in the United States.

Drive Chip - Linwyrm L7

Main article: Drive Chip - Linwyrm L7

Hasbro's Linwyrm L7 is a right-spin Drive Chip that features the side profile of a Lindworm, a dragonic creature with a serpentine body from European mythology. Linwyrm L7 has an above average weight for Drive Chips and below average Burst Resistance. Thus Linwyrm L7 is outclassed by other tighter right-spin Drive Chips.

Blade - Stone

Main article: Blade - Stone

Hasbro's Stone is an elliptical right-spin Attack Type QD Blade with two contact points at opposite ends of the QD Blade. Like other QD Blades, Stone can switch between Apex and Core Modes by swapping the position of the Gravity Ring from the top of the Blade (Apex) to below it (Core).

Like its predecessor Twin Nemesis, the elliptical design creates high recoil and Self-Burst risk. However, while its predecessor has high Burst Resistance to mitigate the Self-Burst risk, there are currently no Drive Chips available with high Burst Resistance. Furthermore, the light weight of QD Blades means QuadDrive System Layers such as Stone are even more prone to Bursts.

Gravity Ring - 2'

Main article: Gravity Ring - 2'

Hasbro's 2' is a Gravity Ring loosely based on Takara Tomy's 2 Armor. As such it has two blunt points opposite to each other. 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 - Fyquor-Q

Main article: Forge Disc - Fyquor-Q

Hasbro's Fyquor-Q is a three-bladed QD Disc with a shape reminiscent of the Metal Saga's Galaxy Fusion Wheel. Each blade is split into three segments, with two of the three segments having holes intended to create Upper Force. The three-bladed design synergizes with three-sided Layers such as those of the Valkyrie/Valtryek line. However due to its relatively light weight of 25.1 grams, Fyquor-Q is heavily outclassed by Forge Discs released in the Dynamite Battle Layer System.

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.

Armor Tip - Never

Main article: Armor Tip - Never

Hasbro's Never is an Armor Tip version of the Never 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. A QuadDrive Performance Tip with high Burst Resistance, such as Orbit-Q, is recommended.

Like other Armor Tips, it bears a resemblance to its Performance Tip counterpart, albeit with its shape modified and gimmick removed. the Never Armor Tip retains the sharp tip it is not free-spinning; furthermore, the polyoxymethylene (POM) plastic surrounding the tip has been removed. The sharp tip creates low friction with the stadium floor, resulting in high Stamina. However, this low friction between the tip and the stadium floor makes Never Armor Tip Combinations susceptible to Knock-Outs and thus have poor Knock-Out Resistance.
