About This Part
Quake, shortened to Q, is a Performance Tip Takara Tomy first sold in Japan on October 24, 2009 with the BB-50 Booster Storm Capricorne M145Q, reaching western shelves through the matching Storm Capricorn starter. Rather than a round Flat, its base is elliptical, giving it small hops similar to a Wide Flat's pattern but with an off-centre wobble. It was built to pair with the Move 145 Spin Track, whose sliding gimmick shifts the tip's position and changes how often those hops occur. Two distinct moulds exist: an early sharp-angled version sold only in the original Storm Capricorne booster, and a gentler second mould used for every later Takara Tomy, Sonokong, and Hasbro release.
In Play
Its stamina is weak on its own, so competitive players mostly leave it for low-height Spin Tracks like 85 or treat it as a collector's piece rather than a tournament pick.
- Debuted in Japan on October 24, 2009 with BB-50 Booster Storm Capricorne M145Q.
- Reached western markets via the BB-50 Starter Pack Storm Capricorn M145Q.
- Hasbro and later Takara Tomy/Sonokong runs all switched to the second, gentler mould.
- Its function and shape carry through to a Quake tip in the Burst Series and a Quake Bit in the X Series.
The Competitive View
When it fails to hop, Quake performs poorly and is outclassed by Xtreme and Accel; when it does hop, the notable combo Xcalibur Oval Quake pairs Quake with the Oval Disc's imbalance to hop far more consistently, though it remains a gimmicky setup that needs a skilled blader to control.
- Off-center elliptical flat tip
- Debuted in B-21 Custom Set Attack & Balance Ver., released November 16, 2015
- Takara Tomy releases: B-21 Minoboros Oval Quake (Beyblade Attack & Balance Reshuffle Set, translucent purple); B-57 Victory Valkyrie Upper Quake (Triple Booster Set, translucent pale blue); Single Top Pack Minoboros Oval Quake
