The Demolition Boys (Neo Borg in the Japanese version) are a group of fictional characters in the popular Beyblade anime and manga series. In the first Beyblade series, Tala is the captain of the Demolition Boys, a beyblading team controlled by Voltaire, Kai's grandfather and Boris Balkov. The other members are Ian, Spencer and Bryan (even Kai later on, towards the end). The team is determined to win the Beyblade World Championships, so Voltaire and Boris can take over the world, by using the captured bitbeasts of their team's opponents.
The team reappeared during the third series of Beyblade, Beyblade G-Revolution to enter the World Championships once again. However, their team name changed from Demolition to Blitzkrieg Boys, and Ian is no longer with the team. Although they only came in second in the Beyblade World Championships, when the BBA (Beyblade Battle Association) is mysteriously brought down and the new professional Beyblade league appears (Beyblade Global Entertainment Association, or BEGA) Tala, Bryan and Spencer attempt to close BEGA down when they realise Boris is the man behind this.
Only Tala remains for the rest of the series after the horribly failed attempt. Spencer and Bryan disappear from the show (expect in the special credits of the final episode in the original Japanese) after Tala's devastating loss to Garland.

[edit] Tala Valkov (Yuriy Ivanov)
Age: Season 1- 13, Season 3- 15
| Tala | |
|---|---|
| Beyblade character | |
| Japanese name | Yuriy Ivanov |
| Bitbeast | {{{Wolborg}}} |
Tala (Yuriy Ivanov in the Japanese version) first appears as a Russian beyblader who seems to be really obsessed with power.
Boris and his scientists experimented on Tala in order to upgrade his battling skills and added components and a program into his brain, eventually causing his brain waves to go beserk (he goes slightly insane in the match with Tyson Granger). He loses Voltaire's chance of World domination and his own chance of becoming a World Champion by losing to Tyson. People say it's because he didn't have much faith in the end.
In the third season (Beyblade G-Revolution) he is still a part of the Demolition Boys with Spencer and Bryan, but now they are all fighting against their previous mentor Boris who has a new team of powerful players: BEGA League.
He is easily angered and has an abnormal hate towards Kai, because Boris favors Kai. Although he was trained not to show any emotion at all, he does just that sometimes. Biovolt decided to make Tala completely without emotions, so they made him into a cyborg for safety measures. However, after the World Championships Final it is shown that their experiment didn't work as Tala is seen shaking hands with Tyson.
Tala is a natural born leader with a fiery personality. In the manga he will do anything to win and he is less loyal to Boris. However in the anime he works to impress Boris with his skills and becomes jealous when Kai Hiwatari joins the team.
He was used as an experiment to connect with his mutated bitbeast, but contrary to popular belief, he was not actually turned into a cyborg, the dubbed version just called it "cybertisation".
In Beyblade G-Revolution, he detests Boris after what he put him through and vows to stop him take over the world of blading. He attempts to bring Boris and his new BEGA league down, but is so badly beaten by Garland Siebald that he collapses and falls into a coma. He awakens during Tyson Granger's match against Brookyln to call out his bitbeast, Wolborg, in order to aid Tyson.

[edit] Ian (Ivan Papov)
Age: Season 1- 13?
| Ian Papov

|
|---|---|
| Beyblade character | |
| Japanese name | Ivan Papov |
| Bit-beast | {{{Wyborg}}} |
Ian (Ivan Papov in the Japanese version) only appears in series one. He is seen as a mischievous and smart-mouthed blader who works for Boris. He has respect for Boris but not for his opponents. He is a tricky blader to fight since his bitbeast can dodge the other Beyblade around the stadium. He is quite a confident blader who believes Biovolt is a great power that will succeed and make him stronger. However in G-Revolution, he stays in Russia due to the fact he looses to Kai in the preliminary rounds. He is still very much a part of the Blitzkrieg Boys team and puts his loyalties into his team mates.
Ian is the shortest member of the Blitzkrieg/Demolition Boys. He has a long nose, a wyvern bit beast called Wyborg and wears goggles. He is typically cool and cold, like Kai. He can often be seen with Tala, although the two never really talk much. Ian's eyes are magenta red. Like the rest of the Blitzkrieg Boys, he's probably had a bad past. He is small but tough.
In Beyblade G-Revolution, Ian disappears when the rest of his team forms the Blitzkrieg Boys. It is highly likely he still owns Wyborg, although he may have upgraded it. Though in the manga, Ian and Kai battled to see who would be granted a place on the Demolition/Blitzkrieg Boys team to enter the World Championships. In the manga it is shown that Ian lost and so Kai took his place on the team.

[edit] Spencer (Sergei)
Age: Season 1- 14?, Season 3- 16?
| Spencer Petrov | |
|---|---|
| Beyblade character | |
| Japanese name | Sergei |
| Bit-beast | {{{Seaborg}}} |
Like Tala, Spencer (Sergei in the Japanese version) has been trained from a young age to be a beyblader, he is large in stature, but generally a very quiet person. However, when he speaks in his battles, he speaks volumes. He is known as a competitive player who doesn't like to lose (like all his teammates).
Spencer was trained in the Abbey like the other Demolition Boys. He was the only blader physically strong enough to harness the power of Seaborg. He works to please Boris in season 1 but fails even when he beats Kai, as he took too long. He remains loyal to the Blitzkrieg Boys and despises Boris like the rest. He only trusts his team and like Bryan, does not trust Kai being on it. He is a character with few lines, but when he has something to say it's always meaningful. In G-Revolution Spencer's blade, Seaborg, is upgraded to the powerful Seaborg 2.

[edit] Bryan (Boris Kuznetsov)
Age: Season 1- 13, Season 3- 15
| Bryan Kuznetsov

|
|---|---|
| Beyblade character | |
| Japanese name | Boris Kuznetsov |
| Bit-beast | {{{Falborg}}} |
Bryan (Boris Kuznetsov in the Japanese version) is an emotionless blader, ruthless and not restrained to immobilize his opponent to critical point. As the only member of the Demolition Boys to prefer attacking the beyblader instead of the bitbeast/blade, Boris sends him to finish Ray Kon (episode 49: A Wicked Wind Blows) by harnessing wind as a weapon.
Bryan is a ruthless blader who was raised at the abbey from a young age. The scientists who trained him worked on turning him into an ultimate fighter. They taught him to attack the blader as well as the blade. After losing in season one, his personality changed. He remained in the Demolition boys team and planned to get revenge on Boris. In Beyblade G-Revolution, he is not as vicious as he was and he only trusts his team mates. He is a very skilled and quick blader, his attack involves breaking the opponent's blade to pieces meaning 100% victory.
Bryan was specially trained by the Biovolt Corporation. But because of his experiences, he tends to be extremely wary of trusting anyone other than his fellow teammates. With Kai Hiwatari's return to the team, Bryan is forced to take the back bench with the Blitzkrieg Boys.
