GB145S (グラビティペルセウススタミナバージョンGB145S, Gurabiti Peruseusu Sutamina Bājon GB145S) is a Stamina Type Beyblade released by Takara Tomy as part of the Beyblade Ultimate Custom Set Perseus Ver. set on November 20, 2010. It was released in western countries by Hasbro with the Beyblade: Metal Masters video game and later in a Starter Pack.
Face Bolt - Destroyer[]
- Main article: Face Bolt - Destroyer
The Destroyer Face Bolt depicts "Perseus", a Greek hero and one of the 88 constellations in space. In Greek mythology, Perseus slayed the gorgon "Medusa" by cutting off her head. He later used the head of Medusa to defeat "Cetus". The design displays a Greek gladiator helmet design, with the name "Perseus" written below it. When the Face Bolt is viewed upside down, it resembles the head of Medusa, a reference to Gravity Perseus' Special Move, Eyes of Medusa.
Energy Ring - Destroyer Stamina[]
- Main article: Energy Ring - Destroyer Stamina
Destroyer is a Dual Spin Energy Ring designed to work in tandem with the Gravity Fusion Wheel. Destroyer features a mode change gimmick; when the Destroyer Energy Ring is rotated 180 degrees, it can switch between "Counter Mode" and "Defense Mode". Depending on the mode, the "eyes" of the Gravity Fusion Wheel will be covered by the Energy Ring.
Destroyer Stamina is the largest and heaviest of the three Destroyer variants, expanding the Defense variant's three large and three small protrusions into two sets of three large protrusions. This means that Gravity will be covered up significantly, regardless of which mode it is in.
Fusion Wheel - Gravity[]
- Main article: Fusion Wheel - Gravity
Gravity is intended to be used with the Destroyer line of Energy Rings. As such, it features three curved pockets meant for a Destroyer Energy Ring to rest in. Gravity is a thick Fusion Wheel, and is dual spin, lacking the protrusions that usually prevent a Fusion Wheel from being used with the wrong direction launcher. When a Destroyer Energy Ring is rotated 180 degrees, Gravity Destroyer can switch between "Counter Mode" and "Defense Mode", covering the "eyes" of Gravity depending on the mode.
In Defense Mode, the Energy Ring covers the jagged protrusions, increasing metal on plastic contact, reducing recoil. In Counter Mode, these jagged protrusions are exposed, leading to high recoil and an increase in Smash Attack.
Spin Track - Gravity Ball 145[]
- Main article: Spin Track - Gravity Ball 145
Gravity Ball 145 (GB145) is a wide, round Spin Track with two free moving metal balls. These balls move towards the outside of the Spin Track while spinning, causing additional spin retaining force. While the Spin Track is relatively heavy due to the inclusion of the metal balls, it has been outclassed by later releases of Stamina Type Spin Tracks.
At release Gravity Ball 145 was seen as inferior to Claw 145 (C145), due to the lack of energy-absorbing free spinning wings, making it not as effective against low attacker Beyblades, which were popular at the time. Gravity Ball 145 later found use in Defense Type combinations against Change Height 120 (CH120)-based attacker Beyblades. These types of attackers do not aim to hit the Spin Track, and thus the free spinning wings of C145 are not necessary, and instead a Beyblade could be given a significant increase in the overall weight of the customization. However, it has been outclassed for Defense Type customizations by Spin Tracks such as Boost Disk 145 (BD145).
Performance Tip - Spike[]
- Main article: Performance Tip - Spike
Spike (S), or Sharp, is a pointed tip that allows for very little friction between the tip and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of spin velocity. However, due to the fine nature of the tip, it has little movement and is easily knocked off balance, and hence is outclassed by alternatives such as Defense (D).
