Description of Trans Point
First released with BX-38 Booster Crimson Garuda 4-70TP as part of the Xtreme Gear Sports Basic Line system on November 2nd, 2024, Trans Point (or TP) is a Balance type Bit.
As its name suggest, Trans Point is the Trans variant of the Bit Point. Trans variants allow players to change the combination height, thanks to the addition of a plastic guard above the tip. Therefore, Trans Point can be played in “Low” or “High” mode : the combination will sit 1mm below or above the average height.
Players can choose a mode manually before the Battle. Moreover, height can also change during Xtreme Dash attacks : the tip will rotate when engaged on the X-Line, sometimes resulting in a mode change.
Like Point, TP has a a flat tip with a small ball shaped tip in its center. However, TP has a smaller diameter than Point. The smaller tip makes Trans Point easier to control than Point, adopting a stationary behavior with ease when launched flat (parallel to the stadium).
Furthermore, while TP initial behavior can be very docile, it can create accelerations when launched at an angle, or struck by the opposite Beyblade. Therefore, when played aggressively, Trans Point can reach the X-Line and perform Xtreme Dash attacks. However, it is worth noting that Xtreme Dash Attacks can be inconsistent and risky, due to the “Trans” gimmick.
If players launch TP in Low Mode, the plastic guard rotation can be stopped by the Ratchet wider part. This can cause unpredictable, erratic Xtreme Dash Attacks. When the Trans gimmick is stuck in Low Mode, the TP combination can skip the X-Line, thus preventing the attack to occur. It can also result in very fast Xtreme Dash attacks, draining stamina and creating a high self knock-out risk.
Therefore, if players are looking to attack and use Xtreme Dash Attacks, we strongly recommend to launch Trans Point in High Mode. This will create a smooth transition from High to Low mode during the Xtreme Dash, thus resulting in a smoother X-Dash Attack as well.
Final Thoughts
Trans Point can be very interesting thanks to its Low Mode, although it comes with weaknesses : the necessity to launch the combination in High Mode increases Burst Risk, while the smaller tip also increases Knock-Out risk.
Therefore, Trans Point is outclassed for competitive use, although it remains a nice addition in any Beyblade X collection.
