'''Note:''' This Beyblade was re-named "'''''Poison Zurafa S130MB'''''" and released as a Starter instead of inside a Set by [[Hasbro]].

==Face: Giraffe==
The Face on this Beyblade depicts Camelopadalis, one of the 88 constellations in space. The word "Giraffe" is written across its body, even in Hasbro's Zurafa version.

==Clear Wheel: Giraffe [[Image:BeywikiBannerBad.jpg]]==
*'''Weight:''' 2.8 grams
The Giraffe Clear Wheel was originally released in a transparent yellow-green color with orange details. The Clear wheel is oval-shaped with curved lines of orange fire, as well as two small notches sticking out, resembling giraffe heads. In this release, it is a clear white with black details. Considering its odd shape with its mundane weight distribution, Giraffe simply finds no use in competitive play compared with much heavier, more well-distributed, and rounder Clear Wheels like [[Wind Aquario 100HF/S|Aquario]].

Poison has fifteen rectangular protrusions on its circumference, each the same size and about 4 mm apart at the widest point. While this is not wide enough to provide useful [[Smash Attack]], it still produces relatively large amounts of [[Recoil]], making this part useless for [[Defense]] or [[Survival|Stamina]]. Furthermore, similar to [[Flame Sagittario C145S#Metal Wheel: Flame|Flame]], the Metal Wheel is raised at the base, exposing the Track to opposing Beys, making it even less useful for [[Defense]] purposes.
This Recoil is worsened by the light weight of the Wheel, which allows it to be easily knocked around and KO'ed by opposing Beys. This means it has little to no use for Attack either. Due to these factors, Poison has absolutely no competitive use.

Made only of plastic, S130 has a horizontal disk attached to its centre. This disk consists of eight arms linked by some relatively round webs of plastic, which overall forms an imperfect circle. In this release S130 is of a dark grey color.

S130's inferior weight compared to Tracks like [[Hell Kerbecs BD145DS|BD145]] and [[Earth Virgo GB145S|GB145]] render it outclassed for [[Defense]] purposes. However, where this Track has found a home is in [[Attack]] combos. S130 adds much needed weight to an attacker without obscuring its contact points. Also, its mid-sized height allows Attack Metal Wheels to score hits on a number of opposing heights. This makes S130 viable to be used with some Attack Wheels, including [[VariAres D:D|VariAres]] and [[Flash Sagittario 230WD|Flash]].

===Use In Attack Customization===
S130 can be put to good use in the Flash combo '''MF-H Flash Escolpio/Pisces/Orion S130RF/R²F''', adding a decent amount of weight to Flash without covering up contact points, and placing the Metal Wheel at the height where it is most effective in dealing hits, due to its design.

MB is a variation of the Ball tip, with its bottom surface made fully out of metal. It has a wide surface area and heavy weight, making it a very versatile tip. Being metal, it provides the low friction needed for longer endurance. Its lack of traction makes it very easy to KO and destabilize. As such, it has only found a home in a small number of combos.

===Use in Balance Customization===
MB is a vital piece in the Duo combo '''MF-H Duo Aquario/Cancer/Cygnus 230MB'''. This combo works as a wobbler combination. Due to the maximal height and the ball-shaped tip, the combo has the ability to wobble at extreme angles and recover. It uses destabilization and force grind to defeat opponents. Because of the nature of MB, its greatest weakness is [[Attack]] types however.

===Use in Defense/Balance combo Customization===
Although now outclassed, the combo ''MF-H Basalt ___ BD145MB'' was one of the first combinations to find competitive use with Metal Ball. This combo has good synergy which means that, as a whole, it works well together. Due to its heavy nature, it couldn’t be knocked out easily. Metal Ball also worked well with [[Hell Kerbecs BD145DS|BD145]] as it requires tall tips to avoid scraping. Lastly, this Bottom can go into aggressive movement patterns if launched a certain way, which works well with Basalt's nature to knock out and/or destabilize others combos.

==Overall==
Even though this Beyblade has some outclassed parts, it provides an easy way to acquire S130 and MB, both of which have survived the passage of time and still serve in top-tier customizations. While this can be acquired from the more competitive [[L-Drago Guardian S130MB]], this Beyblade is easier to find and cheaper, so it is an easier alternative. For those only with access to Hasbro releases, it's the best option, especially to make the [[Basalt Horogium 145WD|Basalt]] combination since this manufacturer hasn't released the good mold of [[Duo Uranus 230WD|Duo]]. It can also provide spare MB tips for cheap. In conclusion, '''this is a worthwhile purchase'''.
