Bit Protector (BP): Turtle Emblem
The Bit Protector of this Beyblade is Turtle Emblem. It is the second mould of Bit Protectors.
Attack Ring (AR): Turtle Crusher
- Weight: 21 grams
Turtle Crusher is a heavy AR with its weight focused entirely on two adjacent sides. Its Metal Frame has two large, blunt projections at each end. On the underside, hidden by the ABS Caul are two small metal nubs. The entire Metal Frame is bluntly designed for Smash Attack.
Because the weight of Turtle Crusher is focused on adjacent ends, it has very poor balance. However, this poor balance works perfectly with the design of the Metal Frame for Wobbling. You can build a Wobbling combo with very high Smash Attack capability using Turtle Crusher.
Unfortunately, Turtle Crusher lost a lot of its use when Aero Knight MS was released. Its AR, Knight Crusher, has the same Metal Frame as Turtle Crusher, but the ABS Caul has better Smash Attack.
Use in Wobbling Customization
- AR: Turtle Crusher (Round Shell MS)
- WD: CWD Circle Attacker (Phantom Fox MS)
- RC: Bearing Core (Wolborg MS)
Turtle Crusher's Metal Frame is the same as Aero Knight MS's Knight Crusher.
Running Core (RC): Grip Weight Core
- Weight: 20 grams
Rubber Weight Core is unique in that it takes the position of both the WD and RC. It is essentially a weighted cylinder with a layer of rubber on the outside and a semi-flat plastic tip. This is the only Beyblade designed with rubber that is designed to make contact with the opponent, which makes Rubber Weight Core a completely unique part that cannot be substituted.
The function is the rubber is to act as a defensive mechanism by absorbing the shock from contact with the opposing Beyblade. In practice, this function works fairly well; most clashes will result in a soft sound and Rubber Weight Core losing little ground. However, there are issues with using Rubber Weight Core as a primary Defense RC.
- Most HMS Attack-types work using Upper Attack, not Smash Attack. Rubber Weight Core does not protect against Upper Attack as well as a free-spinning CWD does.
- Rubber Weight Core's tip is plastic, and does not have very much friction with the stadium. While this increases Survival ability, this tip is very easy to knock around the stadium.
Another great function of Rubber Weight Core is its Force Smash ability. The lower rim of the rubber shell is on a diagonal angle that gradually forces the opposing Beyblade downward into the stadium floor. This strategy is very common in a specific Wolborg MS-killing combo that is listed in this article.
For this RC to function properly, it has to be spinning in the same spin direction as the opposing Beyblade. If it is opposite, this RC will perform very poorly. It will not be able to deflect hits properly and can be outspun by even aggressive Attack-type Beyblades.
For pure Defense-types, Jiraiya MS's Bearing Core 2 is a better choice. However, this does not mean this RC has no use.
Use in Force Smash Customization
This combo in the same spin direction has a high rate of victory against combos based on Wolborg MS's Bearing Core. The high spin velocity combined with the Force Smash and halting capabilities of the rubber means it is able to outspin Bearing Core.
- AR: Metal Ape (Magical Ape MS)
- RC: Rubber Weight Core (Round Shell MS)
Running Shooter
Included in this package is a grip called the Running Shooter. However, for it to function, you must already have an HMS Customize Grip. The part that is detachable from the handle of the HMS Customize Grip is attached to the Running Shooter.
It is a very small grip that is molded to fit fingers. For shooting techniques that require the shooter to move quickly, it is often a better choice than HMS Customize Grip. However, if you need to hold the shooter still, HMS Customize Grip is still a better choice.
Overall
G-Winder of this Starter is made of polyamide plastic. It's harder to straighten and much stiffer plastic than the older, polyethylene G-Winders.
Round Shell MS's AR, Turtle Crusher, is okay for wobbling attack, but we have better choices such as RBA3 Circle Upper (Death Gargoyle MS) or Knight Crusher (Aero Knight MS). Its RC isn't bad. The defense is very good, and the force smash of the rubber part is admirable. However, now we have Samurai Changer MS for defense types, so this RC quickly lost its use.
The gimmick of this Beyblade is amusing. Using the Running Shooter, you can shoot Round Shell MS sideways, and it will race across the ground like a tire. You can race with other Round Shell MS's this way. Running Mode is not legal for battle.
The most useful part of this package is the included grip, Running Shooter.
