Parts in detail

One of three Random Booster 11 prize Beyblades, alongside Orca Diver and Manta Diver, issued in red/orange (Crab Diver's prize color), white, and blue; the only one of the three not also released by Hasbro.

SlotPartWeightSpinNote
Attack Ring Scissors Arm 4.6 g Left (Right Spin not useful) Its wide claw contact points hit with tremendous power in Left Spin, more than even Hayate Attack Ring, but the accompanying recoil is severe enough that it often self-KOs while KOing the opponent.
Weight Disk Random pull (Star Attack, Revolver Attack, Ten Heavy, Ten Balance, or Ten Wide) — Ships with a randomly assigned disk drawn from five options, so its defensive profile varies from copy to copy.
Spin Gear Neo Right Spin Gear (Metal Weight Version) shells 1.15 each (2.3 total); Metal Weight Core 2.5 g Right Neo shells are preferred over standard shells for their compatibility with Neo cores and the Heavy Metal Core; the Metal Weight Core itself runs slightly lighter than a Magnecore, so it rarely stands out but performs acceptably in Attack builds.
Blade Base SG Semi-Flat Base 4.7 g A predictable, easy-to-use semi-flat tip that wears quickly and is generally outperformed by Metal Change Base and, once worn, by Metal Ball Base.

Weights are single copies weighed on their own; a part can vary by a few tenths of a gram.
