Bandit Golem DF145 BS

Bandit Golem DF145 BS (バンディットゴーレムDF145BS Bandittogōremu DF 145 BS) is a Defense-Type Beyblade released as part of the Zero-G System. It was released in Japan on August 11, 2012 as Synchrome Booster. It was later released as a standalone starter in western countries by Hasbro.

Face Bolt: Golem (ゴーレム)
This Metal Face Bolt depicts a rock golem in a defensive position. Being brown in colour, true to its classical element, the golem bears a gladiator-esque helmet for its face with black nothingness yet carrying a bright yellow eye. It then consists of its two rocky arms which are quite jagged and bulky. Its left arm is lastly shown compromising a fist as a symbol for Bandit Golem's type.

Warrior Wheel: Golem (ゴーレム)

 * Weight: 29.6 grams

Golem finds the mythical golem namesake atop with the a gladiator-like helmet with two small "ears" pushing out from the "helmet". The golem's head is situated between its two arms where its right arm consists of three square-like "pockets" with cracks and dents from ground designed in them. The right arms ends where it "holds" the Element Wheel's crystal with various earth-enchanted crystals scattered around. Its left however, is detailed even more than its counterpart by bearing an increased amount of armour that is quite burly at that. Interesting though, is that the right arm is shorter than the left as a thin-enough gap in-between both appears.

Golem also features earth-like decals that consist of stones, pebbles, mud and silver spikes. This gives Bandit a camouflaged appearance that the military practice.

鎧（よろい）に覆（おお）われた全身（ぜんしん）と台形形状（だいけいけいじょう）で鉄壁（てっぺき）の防御（ぼうぎょ）を誇（ほこ）る.

Proud of an impregnable Defense, a trapezoidal shape and the whole body covered in armor.

Attack: 1 - Defense: 4 - Stamina: 2

Element Wheel: Bandit

 * Weight: 4.8 grams

Its original color is green. A clear derivative of a "bandit", Bandid oddly does not have a design reminiscent of those characters. It vaguely illustrates some longer daggers, but it mostly complements Goreim's shape entirely: like the latter, this Crystal Wheel has block shapes with ridges in them.

Spin Track: Down Force 145 (DF145)

 * Weight: 1.5 grams

DF145 has four upward facing wings protruding from the top of the Track, which aside from giving it extra weight are meant to push air downwards. It is on par with 145, while AD145 is superior by a small margin when used in Stamina combinations.

Use in Stamina Customization
If the aforementioned parts aren't accessible, DF145 can still be put to good use in the custom, Phantom Cancer/Cygnus DF145WD.

Performance Tip: Ball Sharp (BS)

 * Weight: 0.6 grams

BS's performance is quite similar to that of S. BS offers very little movement and as such gives no Attack potential. The pointed tip allows for very little friction between the Bottom and the stadium surface, which helps prevent the loss of spin velocity. BS has decent Stamina, but because the tip is so fine, it experiences the same balance issues that S does. D, SD, and WD are much better choices.

Trivia

 * Bandit Golem is the third Beyblade released with the DF145BS combo, with the first two being Virgo DF145BS and Libra DF145BS.
 * Bandit Golem's anime beast bears a striking resemblance to the monster form of Gorem (Golem in the Japanese version), a Bakugan from the Japanese-Canadian anime, Bakugan Battle Brawlers.
 * Also, Goreim (ゴレイム) and Golem (ゴーレム) share some of the same Japanese characters, even their Romaji names are very much alike. i.e. Goreimu vs. Gōremu
 * Bandit Golem and Berserker Behemoth are the only beys in the Anime to use a "reverse synchrome". Before Kira discarded it, the Synchrome Bey was Golem-Behemoth SR200BWD, but after disposing of it, Yoshio took Behemoth and made Behemoth-Golem DF145BS
 * Although classified as a Defense-type, it doesn't have much defense due to its BS tip.
