What It Is
Hasbro's arcade-cabinet version of the BeyUltimate Shooter, fitted with a nicer clicky trigger switch but with its finger prongs replaced by a solid ridged plate, apparently to stop the cabinet unit from being used with real Beyblades outside the machine. The internal gear that would normally drive the prongs is still present underneath, so swapping the plate for a set of prongs is reported to convert it back into a working regular BeyUltimate Shooter. It shares the exclusive geared ripcord system used by the BeyUltimate Shooter and Bey Max Shooter.
How It Launches
12-tooth gear (2mm pitch) with the BeyUltimate winder, about 8.5-9 rotations; left spin only. Considered among the highest-power launchers of the plastics generation, though its bulk, exclusive ripcord, and required underhand pull make it awkward, and the power on tap raises self-KO risk with fast rubber tips in inverted-tip modes.
Rotation counts are given with the winder they were measured with; a different winder gives a different figure.
What It Fits
Uses the same exclusive ripcord/winder system as the BeyUltimate Shooter and Bey Max Shooter, not the standard EZShooter ripcord; the stock prong-blocking plate can reportedly be swapped for prongs to restore normal launcher function.
Releases
Hasbro/Tiger Electronics variant of the BeyUltimate Shooter, made as the launch unit for a Tiger Electronics "5-in-1 Arcade Challenge" cabinet; only documented in a left-spin Dragoon configuration.
Spin and gear teeth are given only where they are stated outright; the table leaves a figure blank rather than infer one.
