Parts in detail

No further release history given.

Slot	Part	Weight	Spin	Note
Attack Ring	Roller Attack Ring	4.2 g	Right only	Built around rollers meant to reduce stamina/speed loss when the ring hits stadium walls without a Tornado Ridge; an asymmetric design (one side raised before the roller, the other recessed) with thin, breakage-prone sections. The resulting poor balance hurts its otherwise-plausible Defense/Survival role, and it has too much recoil for Compacts due to notches and an exposed face on one side; small size and poorly angled contact points rule out offense.
Weight Disk	Balance	14.1 g		Light with an unremarkable weight spread; its large points and wider shape create recoil risk against low opponents.
Blade Base	Flat Base	6.5 g	Right only (built-in Spin Gear)	Very low profile lets it get under opponents, but it can't take a Heavy Metal Core, ruling out Traditional Upper Attack use; light weight and modest grip limit recoil control, and it's somewhat hard to keep in a flower pattern. Decent Life-After-Death gives it a role similar to Semi-Flat Base Stamina setups, best paired with Wide Defense and a compact or small defensive ring.

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

Community testing, Aug. 05, 2012 — summarised

The competitive view

Roller Attacker's thick, rigid-edged attack ring is fitted with two rollers meant to deflect an opponent, but the gimmick is considered to fail because most of the energy from a hit just spins the rollers instead of landing a knockout; the ring performs better defensively, thanks to its round, compact shape, than as the attack piece it was designed to be. The roller gimmick is regarded as a likely misstep from an experimental phase of the toy line, since no later release repeated it.
