What It Is
Hasbro's standard launcher for the Metal Saga toyline, bundled with every Metal Saga Starter Pack. It is styled after Takara Tomy's Light Launcher, with grip indents and a hexagonal socket for a Face Bolt sticker, but its ripcord reuses the 45-tooth Original Series EZ Shooter winder mold instead of the Light Launcher's 68-tooth one, despite sharing its internal mechanism. Early releases color-coded the launcher red/yellow/green/blue by Beyblade type, a scheme dropped from Metal Masters onward.
- Hasbro's default launcher across the Metal Saga toyline; included with every Starter Pack.
- Styled after Takara Tomy's Light Launcher, but its ripcord uses the shorter 45-tooth Original Series EZ Shooter winder mold rather than the Light Launcher's 68-tooth winder.
- Legend Beyblades Starter Packs originally color-coded launcher and ripcord by type: red (Attack), yellow (Defense), green (Stamina), blue (Balance); dropped starting with Metal Masters.
- The left-spin version reuses the Original Series Dragon Winder handle shape but keeps 45 teeth.
- Lightning L-Drago 100HF's left-spin launcher is a distinct white variant styled after Takara Tomy's BeyLauncher L.
Spin and gear teeth are given only where they are stated outright; the table leaves a figure blank rather than infer one.
