The 2nd Rendition of the Core Random Booster packs a punch!
CB-34 Core Random Booster Plus
Different from the previous CB-07 CRB Vol.1, this Plus Edition comes with 2x2 Recolor Cores (Stroke Core & Roll Core) and features a new Super Rare power type core, Break Core!
PlaKit Layout
Stroke Core
From CB-15 Stroke Orochi, Recolored: Clear Lime/White & Gold/Yellow.
The Stroke Core is a Control Type Core with a Special Trigger Guide connecting to its Trigger.The 'T' shaped guide slot design ensures that the Trigger slides in the 'Center' of the Core.
Roll Core
From CB-14 Roll Sasword, Recolored: Metallic Violet/Blue & Clear Magenta/Black.
The Roll Core is a Rapid Fire Type Core with a Special 'Ring' Trigger. This Ring Trigger provides a great thumb grip for 'push & pull' action for rapid firing.
Break Core
The Super Rare Break Core is a new Power Type Core. (Future Released in CB-49 Super Dragon Double Set).
The Break Core has a Extra Long Trigger that normally would be seen in a CB-35 Twin Core attached to a Normal Single B-Damarble chamber.
When fully launched, the Trigger Exceeds the Core Chamber. This enables the B-Der to make full power control over the Maximum Trigger Power. The more power your Trigger Push, the more Powerful the shot.
Break Power Trials
To simulate the Power of the Break Core, we will be challenging the Power Log Push obstacle. The Break Core is set with CB-01 Accele Dracyan with CB-25 Grip Arm.
9 B-Damarbles are set in a Tube placed 6" inches away from the Break Dracyan. In this Trial, a Single B-Damarble will be shot at the Tube to make it Roll along the Ruler. Distance will be taken to log Push Power.
When the Shot was Triggered, the Obstacle is pushed, rolling away from its original position. Stopping at a 12.5" inch mark, Remarkable!
To further simulate the Power of the Break Core, we will challenge the Double Barrel Break obstacle. In this Trial, 2 empty Big B-Da Targets are set in Series, 6" inches from the Break Accele B-Daman. A Single D-Damarble will be shot. And the final results will be log when Targets are 'Broken' through.
When the Shot was fired, the 2 B-Da Targets 'breaks' upon contact with the Powerful Shot from the Break Core. Results was a Maximum Break!
Summary
In summary, the CB-34 Core Random Booster Plus is a good Booster for those whom wish to add the Stroke Core or Roll Core to their collection without acquiring the CB-14 or CB-15 Starters. The Rare Break Core is a Good Power Core to add to the Power Type family but can be very difficult to master for B-Ders with lower Trigger Power. Overall a good Booster to try.
For those looking for a Power type B-Daman that really put Force in play.
CB-12 Torque Bearga
Torque Bearga is a Power Type B-Daman that puts Trigger Power as its main Force. Read on for more~
PlaKit Layout
Head Parts
Bearga's head parts are rounded in design and very much 'compact' in shape. Does not have any 'Targetting' assist due to its rounded top helm.
Arm Parts
The Arm grip if the Bearga is Huge! It is very wide to the sides and almost twice the area size of a normal Arm Grip (Comparison with CB-01 Accele Dracyan). Highly Recommended for B-Ders with a bigger hand size or wants more Grip Control over your B-Daman Shooter.
Leg Parts
The Leg Base of the Bearga is rather small when compared to its Huge Arm. The surface of the base is average, and mostly Frontal Balanced. This means the Magazine used is too heavy, the B-Daman will tilt over backwards.
Torque Core and Rear Safety Pack
The Torque Core is a very special Power Type Core. Though it might not seem so at first look. Heres the rundown.
The Trigger of the Torque Core is of same length as the Accele Core but has a long Curve Trigger Assist for better assess when firing a shot.
This design allows the B-Der to use two thumbs to Shoot, increasing in Power and Control over the B-Damarble.
The Torque Core is a twin B-Damarble grip system with a unique 'Three Way Force Compacting' arms.
With 2 main outer 'claws' and a center Hold Grip at the base, the Torque Core is able to compact force when launching a B-Damarble.
When B-Damarble is inside Core Chamber, it fits nicely in like any other Power Type Core with 2 grip points on the sides.
But when the B-Damarble is launch, it is Sharply Tapped by the Two main outer 'claws' just before it exits the barrel.
This Tapping Action of the 'claws' increases 'compressed' force to the B-Damarble. Complicating? Don't worry, here's the Science~
'Compact Force' Power Trial
To Further visualize the concept of what 'Compact Force' is, the CB-12 Torque Bearga will be compared to CB-01 Metal Accele Dracyan.
Three Blocks no, 1 and 3 being Yellow and no.2 being Red is set in front of B-Daman Shooter approximately 20cm away. The 2 B-Daman will take turn to fire at the Blocks and see the results.
Metal Accele Core fires at the Blocks, making a perfect and powerful Hit.
All the Blocks are pushed to the far side of the play area, due to its Accele drive force.
Accele Core's drive action, pushes All the blocks upon contact. The front spinning of the B-Damarble further drives the Force through to Blocks 2 and 3, pushing all blocks.
When Torque Core fires at the Blocks, in the pin point center...
Only Block 3 is blasted off to the far end of the area, while Block 1 and 2 remain minimally moved.
The 'Compact Force' caused by the 'Claws' of the Torque Core, Compacted the Generated Force of the Core to the Center of the B-Damarble. This pin point Force is transferred through the Blocks 1 and 2 delivering the Force all to Block 3, sending it Blasting off.
This Momentum Kinetic Energy is great when in impact with an opponent competing on a Block Target. The Torque Core's shot will be able to deflect or neutralize the opponent shot even through a Block.
Summary
Looking like a Normal Power Type B-Daman, the CB-12 Torque Bearga packs a punch with its unique 'Compact Force' shots and is very highly recommended for Power Type users. The Huge Arm Parts are great for B-Ders with bigger hands and have very good Grip. A 8/10must get for a Power Type B-Daman collector.
