Beyblade Engine Gear System | Blade Base Types

Engine Gear tops were introduced with the G-series, and retain the same major design of a typical Beyblade, including a Bit Piece, an Attack Ring, a Weight Disk, and a Blade Base; Engine Gear tops, however, replace the typical Spin Gear with a more advanced Engine Gear, which affects the movement of the top during the battle.

Each Engine Gear includes a Turbo Winder to wind up the engine core. When in action, the Blade Base releases the Engine Gear determined by the Blade Base's clutch lock system. This series of Beyblades available were the last ones to be made of plastic parts with the exception of the weight disks. The later ones were semi-metal or completely metal.

Turbo Engine Gear

The default engine gear that comes with most Beyblades is available at https://beystation.com/products/basalt-horogium-beyblade-bb-104-twisted-tempo-145wd in G-revolution, but their tip is varied. First released with the left-spinning Dragoon GT, the Turbo Engine Gear gives an even more powerful release than that of the original engine gear that comes with a larger turbo winder.

Reverse Gear

The Engine Gear spins in the opposite direction of the rest of the top. This engine gear is only bundled with Dranzer gt, which uses this gear for a reverse zig-zag attack. Although this attack can be very effective, the Beyblade loses spin when the gear kicks in. As with Dragoon GT, it comes with a larger turbo winder.

Gyro Engine Gear

This unique type allows the tip of the Beyblade to spin independently. Thus the Beyblade can be launched without a launcher, as a ripcord can be inserted into the Beyblade.

Blade Base Types

The Engine Gear triggers at the beginning of the battle, resulting in a type a large burst of speed almost immediately after launch.

Heavy Metal System

Beyblade HMS is a line of Beyblade toys released after the Engine Gear line of blades with respect to the anime series. This series, unlike the ones in the past, use smaller pieces made mostly of metal. HMS Beyblades have a distinct advantage over previously released Beyblades, that being that their spin velocities are 1.5-2× faster.

Attack Ring

This is composed of an inner metal part screwed to an outer ABS caul. Typically there would be a ring made of plastic that connected to the second ring made of metal. The attack rings were fashioned in many different styles.

Weight Disk

HMS Weight Disks are completely round, unlike plastic Weight Disks which were shaped as Hexa-, octal-, and decagons. There are also customizable Weight Disks, which have plastic and metal parts, the plastic parts giving the Weight Disk a certain feature.

Running Core

The Blade Base of HMS. It goes through the weight disk and attack ring and attaches to the Bit Protector. This piece also replaces the Spin Gear/Engine Gear. Spin direction is now determined entirely by which launcher is used.
