Hasbro built this Extreme Top System line around gimmicks that trigger automatically mid-battle rather than needing the Blader to set them up, pitching each release as ready to "deploy and destroy" for what its marketing called more competitive play. Every entry ships with a Ripcord Launcher and combines a mostly plastic body with a metal-weighted base, spread across four waves beginning January 2012 in western markets.
