Zeal Achilles A8 Giga-Q Massive-Q+Quattro II-10 is a Defense and Balance Type Beyblade that is a part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System and the QuadStrike System. It was released in western countries as a QuadStrike Starter Pack for USD$11.99 in the United States.

It is the successor to Infinite Achilles Dimension' 1B in the anime and Infinite Achilles A6 1B-D Dimensioning-SP in the toyline.

Hasbro's Achilles A8 is a left-spin Strike Chip that features an armored face and a shield, representing the Strike Chip's namesake: the Greek mythological hero, Achilles. Achilles A8 has an average weight for Strike Chips and average Burst Resistance.

Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart, Achilles A8 is only left-spin, and not dual-spin. Despite not having dual-spin capabilities, non-functional details resembling tri-wing screws are molded onto the chip.

Gravity Ring - 10

Main article: Gravity Ring - 10

Hasbro's 10 is a Gravity Ring based on Takara Tomy's 10 Armor. As such it retains the same general shape as 10, with triangular shapes at ten points. Unlike its Takara Tomy counterpart however, it is made of plastic instead of metal, and as such its weight has been reduced. In theory, 10 is stable due to an even weight distribution at ten points. 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 - Giga-Q

Main article: Forge Disc - Giga-Q

Hasbro's Giga-Q is a symmetrical, octagon-shaped QD Disc based on Takara Tomy's Giga. It retains the same diameter and general shape as its Takara Tomy counterpart, but is thinner overall with a hollowed out underside; it is consequently about 8 grams lighter. Its weight is comparable to the likes of the Core Discs 0 and 00; however the aforementioned Core Discs can facilitate Disc Frames, which can increase their weight further, while Giga-Q cannot. As Giga-Q is purely a weaker version of Giga, there is no reason to use Giga-Q over the latter.

Performance Tip - Massive-Q

Main article: Performance Tip - Massive-Q

Massive-Q is a Defense Type Performance Tip and Hasbro's QuadDrive counterpart to Massive. Like its normal counterpart, Massive-Q features a tip that sits at a standard height, with three tabs. Unlike its normal counterpart however, instead of having a wide ball shaped tip, it has a semi-flat tip instead. This change is intended to increase speed in a QuadDrive System Beystadium, but also heavily reduces Stamina as a result. As Massive was already outclassed as a Defense Type Performance Tip, the semi-flat tip of Massive-Q renders it even worse competitively.

Like other ball based Defense Type Performance Tips, the tabs around Massive-Q are meant to act as brakes against Knock-Outs at the cost of Stamina by striking against the stadium floor. However, in practice such contact is rare, giving Massive-Q weaker Knock-Out Resistance than other Defense Type Performance Tips.

Furthermore, Massive-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 Massive-Q, switching it to "Plus Mode". In this mode, Massive-Q is essentially replaced by the Armor Tip, and the height becomes similar to a SpeedStorm Performance Tip.

Armor Tip - Quattro II

Main article: Armor Tip - Quattro II

Hasbro's Quattro II is the second Armor Tip adaptation of Takara Tomy's Quattro Driver. Like other Armor Tips, it can be attached to QuadDrive Drivers via two attachment points. When attached to a QuadDrive Driver, it is referred to as the "Plus Mode", essentially replacing the QuadDrive Driver as the main contact point with the Beystadium. The subsequent height becomes similar to that of a SpeedStorm Driver.

Quattro II is a QuadStrike Armor Tip, and as such has a bulky and wide shape, akin to a HyperSphere Driver. Although Quattro II has a flat tip, the overall design does not appear to be based on any particular mode of Quattro, and has a Balance Type classification.
