About This Part
Customize Grip Base is a tall Blade Base from the Magnacore System, debuting with Dragoon V2 in 2003. It carries a removable, magnet-loaded rubber tip meant for use in a Magnecore Stadium, sitting atop a wide shaft that can accept Support Parts alongside a range of Spin Gear cores at the same time. That combination gives it unusual range across Attack, Defense and Survival customizations, though its height and tip shape bring some real trade-offs.
In Play
Community builders treat it as one of the best value Attack bases available, close to Grip Base's raw speed while adding Support Part compatibility, though its rounded tip readily slips over a stadium's Tornado Ridge and invites self-knockouts; it is arguably even more prized as the backbone of Grip-Based Defense setups such as Defensive Zombies, thanks to its synergy with Wolborg 2's shaft.
- Released with Dragoon V2 in 2003.
The Competitive View
Customize Grip Base is described as one of the three fastest rubber-tipped Blade Bases of the Plastic Generation and, with its tip removed, a hub for many bearing Spin Gears plus interchangeable Support Parts, credited with pushing 'Zombie' (spin-stealing/endurance) customizations into top-tier status. Sample Upper Attack, defensive Zombie, and standard Zombie combos are given, e.g. pairing it with Driger V2's Upper Claw AR and Upper Attack SP, or with War Lion AR, Wide Defense WD, and Wolborg 2's Left SG (Bearing Version 2) for a defensively-focused Zombie.
Verdict as the draft gives it: It is considered more financially practical than the faster but pricier and rarer SG Grip Change Base and Grip Base, and the wide range of usable Spin Gears and Support Parts is said to make it worth owning multiple copies.
