Description
Magical Ape MS is a Defense-type build from the Hard Metal System line, structured around the Ape Emblem Bit Protector, the compact Metal Ape attack ring, the heavy Circle Heavy weight disk and a Flat Core running core. Metal Ape is the smallest ring made for the HMS line, and its tight, centred mass gives the combination unusually fast spin along with a handful of attack points around its rim. As part of the Gimmick Specialty run, it can also be rebuilt into a Gyro Mode using a separate Gyro Adapter shell that houses a shaft, bearings and a cog, letting it be spun with a ripcord-style winder instead of a launcher. Builders prize Metal Ape mainly for compact-style customs, pairing it with parts like a CWD Defense Ring or a Metal Change Core.

In play and in the story
Its small size and centred mass make Metal Ape a favourite ring for compact attack-defence hybrids, and competitive builders consider it strong enough to knock out lighter stamina-focused rigs, though Gyro Mode itself is regarded as too weak in endurance for serious play.
