GenBull Chromium Wheel & Bandid Crystal Wheel


The GenBull is Stamina Type ChW. Designed with the motif of a 'Turtle Shell', the structure of the wheel is made out of a six sided polygonal design. The inner section also has two tentacle-like whips and a small 'turtle head' at the base of the ChW.


The inner structure of the GenBull Chromium Wheel is as similar to all the Stamina Type ChW. Weight Mass are distributed in a circular design and have most of the weight balanced around the outer circumference of the Wheel. The Six cut in points around the polygon created 'weight points' on the underneath section and are equally angled to improve stamina and balance capabilities.


The GenBull Chromium Wheel weighs approximately at 30.66g 


The Full Synchrom GenBull ChW weighs aprx at 61.20g

The Bandid Crystal Wheel is similar to the Bandid Goriem in performance but only differ in color. 

Free 230 Track & Twin Ball Bottom 


Exclusive to the Bandid GenBull Bey is the Free 230 (F230) Track and the Twin Ball (TB) Bottom. 


The Free 230 is the first Free Spinning two axle singular Track that can accommodate an interchangeable Bottom.   


Although the F230 does NOT have a bearing like the Bearing Drive (B:D) in its structure, it is fairly Free Spinning even out of the Box. Tried to hand spun it and it managed to spin for a good 7 secs.


Another new Bottom part also comes exclusively to the GenBull. The Twin Ball Bottom (TB). The TB is a very wide designed Bottom with the same Diameter as the Big Wide Defense (BWD) of the Begirados. Design puts a Ball on a much Bigger Ball, double tier. It pretty much looks like a 'Swell Up' or Up-sized version of the Ball Sharp (BS) Bottom.


The Twin Ball has very high Balance properties and is able to resist against very odd angle tilts of the Bey with the right Chromium Wheel. (Not Recommended with Attack ChW)

Performance


Launched the Bandid GenBull F230TB in a Standard ZeroG Attack Stadium to sample the behavior of the Bey. Upon stadium contact, the GenBull immediately goes into a semi Attack mode and started to do a 'Flower' circular motion around the Stadium, making the Stadium rock and move vividly.


At this state, a forceful tilt was manually induced and the GenBull was able to keep its Balance even when tilting quite badly.


As the Spin ratio decreases, the GenBull stayed at the center of the Stadium, recovering for its Bad Tilt angle from the stadium movement and goes into 'Stamina State', Impressive #1.


In this 'Stamina State' a timer was started and the GenBull was able to stay in Stamina for a good 2 minutes and 23 seconds before wobbling out of it due to low Spin Ratio. Impressive #2

Bey Battle Trial


To put the Bandid GenBull F230TB Balance and Stamina to test, we will be putting it against its own kind, Earth Elemental Stamina Type Bey, Berserker Begirados SR200BWD!


Upon launch, the two Bey waste no time sending each other recoiling to the edge of the Stadium and rocking the whole battle around. Both beys put up quite a good defense with their wide surfaced Bottom Parts (TB and BWD) making sure Both stayed in the Stadium!


After 6-7 times of such Recoil due to Begirados high Recoil capabilities, the Begirados starts to lose its Stamina. and started to slide to the center pit.


Being higher in Track Height, the GenBull was able to do a minor 'Smash Attack' on the Begirados causing it to tilt quite badly. Having higher Balance and Stamina, the Genbull was able to tilt back to 'Stamina State' even after impact.


The Begirados soon loses its Spin Ratio and was unable to regain its Balance, causing the ChW to contact the Stadium Surface losing All remaining spin power. The GenBull wins still maintaining its Spin Ratio in 'Stamina State'.

Summary


The Bandid GenBull F230TB is a very well designed High tier Stamina Bey, it kind of performed similar to the champion combo of Hell Kerbecs 230MB back in 2011. The Free Spinning capabilities of the Non Bearing track F230 is more than impressive out of the Box and will prolly perform more better after some wearing out. The high Tilt Resistance Twin Ball Bottom Part, performed really well when regaining Balance from bad tilt angles, but do note that the performance also rely on the Chromium Wheel weight and Balance. The GenBull ChW is a great Stamina and Balance Chromium Wheel to have.
Overall, the Bandid GenBull F230TB is a must get for all Stamina and Balance Bladers that like a bit more out of a boring Stamina Battle.


Extras

 
For those whom gotten themselves the whole set of ZGRVB3  would by now have noticed that the other Beys consist of a Fossil Amber color, 'F230' and 'TB'. Sadly, the other Bandid Chromium Wheel is Cyan in color and not the same. But similar to all the Previous ZRBV1 "Hidden Rare" Thief Pheonic E230GCF - Crimson Version, the ZRVB2 The Archer Gargole SA165WSF - Blood Version, the ZRBV3 has...


Bandid GenBull F230TB - Gaia Version


(note: I changed the CrW into Bandid Goriem's Emerald Green one as i find the color nicer, if you are wondering LOL)

BBG-18 ZeroG Random Booster Vol.2

Apologies for the delay, BeyGenSG has finally gotten its BBG-18 ZeroG Random Booster Vol.2 and here is a short review of its Super Rare Sky Type Elemental Bey~ Archer Gargole SA165WSF!

 

BBG-18 ZeroG Random Booster Volume 2

Archer Crystal Wheel - 5.12g
Gargole Chromium Wheel - 29.87g
Switch Attack 165 Track - 6.21g

Stickers & Instructions

Beys in this RBV2 includes:
Archer Gargole SA165WSF (Super Rare)

Samurai Revizer SA165Q (Rare)

Gargole Chromium Wheel & Archer Crystal Wheel


The Gargole is an Attack type Chromium Wheel. Its surface motif design is of two Symmetrical Winged Gargoyles with their "jaws" biting onto the Crystal. The Winged areas of the Wheel have Six hollow portions which creates very high Recoil factor when on impact with another ChW.


The Gargole ChW is also holds an average level of Stamina capabilities and this is due to its Solid Outer Ring Structure. The Gargole ChW, unlike the others, has a fully filled Wheel Structure which makes the weight distribution around the wheel well balanced, increasing in Stamina.
 

The Gargole Chromium Wheel weighs approximately at 29.87g


And a Full Synchrom Gargole ChW weighs aprx at 59.51g

The Archer Crystal Wheel is similar as the previous Archer Gryph reviews only differs in color.


Switch Attack 165 Track & Wide Semi Flat Bottom


Exclusive to the Archer Gargole Bey is the Switch Attack (SA165) Track and the Wide Semi Flat (WSF) Bottom.


The SA165 is a two piece inter-flip-able Track that have two Modes, Normal and ZeroG Attack Modes.


In Normal mode, the SA165 slope surface is placed facing down, creating a sloped defense wall. The Bey at this point has only one Point of Surface Contact. High Resistance to Tilts and Recoils. The small "Studs" on the Outer Ring of the SA165 is able to execute a Repetitive Attack action to the opponents Bey, and depletes Revolution Ratio. 


In ZeroG Attack mode, the SA165 Ring is placed slope up. This makes the Outer Ring of the Track perform like a CF or Elevator230, increasing the Surface Contact points to 2. This mode increases the Revolution Speed of the Bey when in Contact with the Stadium Surface, also increase in Attack Impact.

 
The Wide Semi Flat (WSF) is the widest rendition of the Semi Flat series. The Flat Area of the WSF is greatly significant when compared to its previous variations like Bladed Semi Flat (BSF) and Rubber Semi Flat (RSF).


Performance



When the Archer Gargole SA165WSF(Normal Mode) is launched into a ZeroG Standard Attack Stadium, it makes average sized circular movements tilting the Stadium as it covers almost all the surface area in the Attack Zone.


The Gargole has a very high tolerance to sudden high tilting ratio and maintains its balance quite well though risking its Stamina due to its Wide surfaced Bottom WSF.


Bey Battle Trial


To test the Recoil capability of the Archer Gargole SA145WSF, a trial battle was set up with Attack Type Fire Bey from ZeroG RBV1 - Thief Pheonic E230GCF in a ZeroG Standard Attack Stadium.


When Launched, both Beys makes huge circles around the outer sections creating a profuse rocking movement to the Stadium.


After a proximate 4 rev, the Beys made contact and a few small recoils were made and Pheonic was able to Smash Attack Gargole due to its taller Track. But the Gargole high Tilt resistance and WSF came to action and regain balance after a few small revs around the Phoenic.


The Higher Stamina ChW of Gargole soon starts to deplete the Phoenic's jaggered surfaced ChW and a Sudden Recoil Attack from the Gargole sends the Thief Pheonic into the Stadium Out pocket.

Summary


The Archer Gargole SA165WSF is a well balanced Attack Type Bey. The Gargole ChW have several useful Stamina and Recoil Capabilities when going against an Attack Bey. Not Recommended for Stamina Users or against High Stamina Beys as the WSF is very low in Stamina. The Switch Attack 165 Track in Normal Mode is a highly useful Track to keep opponents attacks off and regains balance quite effectively. 
The wide Revs around the Stadium that the WSF makes also dangers the Bey as it gets too near to the Pockets at times. (Probably better off with BSF ot RSF combo). 
Overall, the Archer Gargole SA165WSF is a good Bey to have in a collection but needs tune up to be used in battle.


Extras

 
For those whom gotten themselves the whole set of ZGRVB2  would have noticed that the other Beys consist of a Red 'Archer CrW', 'SA165' and 'WSF'.Like the Previous ZRBV1 "Hidden Rare" Thief Pheonic E230GCF - Crimson Version, the ZRVB2 also has its "Hidden Rare" version...
