Running Core

A Running Core fuses a Spin Gear and Blade Base into one Hard Metal System piece, forming the spin mechanism that most other components in the system are built to accept. Early releases kept the design simple, while later molds such as Samurai Changer MS's Battle Change Core and Dark Leopard MS's Tornado Change Core build in switching gimmicks and extra customization options.
