Face: Quetzalcoatl

The Face depicts Quetzalcoatl, the Mesoamerican feathered serpent deity..This Face mark differs from the Metal System Quetzalcoatl Face however. It resembles more its first Face mark, but it has more colours, exaggerated traits, a more fierce design, as well as patterns in the sticker's background that got inspired by the Mesoamerican civilization's cultures. The design features Quetzalcoatl's face looking to the left with it's mouth wide open, sticking out it's snake-like tongue and appearing on a gold Face Bolt

4D Clear Wheel: Quetzalcoatl

Weight: 2.6 grams

The Quetzalcoatl Clear Wheel is of a pale golden colour and illustrates two winged serpents with a head more like that of a cobra. It contains metal fillings for added weight.

4D Metal Wheel: Death

Weight: 43.6 grams

The gimmick introduced in this 4D Metal Wheel is that one of the two metal parts, the Metal Frame, can be flipped to form another mode. Death has no PC Frame, only metal pieces, which makes it one of the heaviest 4D Metal Wheels available.

Metal Frame

When put in Attack Mode, the Metal Frame shows details of several serpent heads with fangs, enhancing the term "attack". . It has a series of upward and downward curves which gives it a serpentine-like look.The Metal Frame also shows more of a snake-like appearance in Defense Mode with it's various scales.

If the Metal Frame is completely flipped to be in Defense Mode, this other side reveals a design of serpent scales, which relates to the term "defense" and how animals defend themselves with their back, their scales, etc.

Core

It is straighter than the Metal Frame and features eight wing-like protrusions. These protrusions are slanted with various spikes to represent the wings of Quetzalcoatl.Death has two modes, "Attack Mode" and "Defense Mode". In Attack Mode, the Metal Frame has a more offensive appearance with a multitude of gaps that greatly decrease the opponent's spin upon contact. In Defense Mode however, the Metal Frame is flipped so that it rests on top of the Core, covering the gaps and thus giving it Defense-Type capabilities; it lowers surface impact in order to increase Stamina.The Attack mode is taller than the defense mode.

Track: 125

Weight: 1.0 gram

The 125 Track is a midway between the 105 and the 145 Tracks. Utilized in mid-height stamina combos, it is more difficult to destablize compared to 145 height stamina combos. It has declined in popularity as the choice mid-height track due to the release of gimmicked tracks of the same height, such as T125 and D125.

Bottom: Rubber Defense Flat

Weight: 1.1 grams

Rubber Defense Flat (RDF) is a Balance-based Performance Tip first released with Death Quetzalcoatl. RDF combines traits from RS, RSF, and WD.RDF functions similar to CS and RSF, in that when launched, it will have fast and aggressive movement due to the Flat Tip, but will then take a defensive position. In testing, RDF appeared to perform quite well for Defense. The only setback of RDF, is that the plastic ring surrounding it causes floor scraps and essentially, spin loss. RDF also has trouble against Left-Spin Attackers and has lower Stamina than CS.
