The '''BakuMeter''' is a more portable and improved version of the [[BakuPod]] and the [[Gauntlet]], and is used in ''[[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders|Gundalian Invaders]]'' and ''[[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge|Mechtanium Surge]]''. It can project [[Synthetic Bakugan]] and [[Bakugan Battle Gear]], as well as [[Ability Card]]s and [[BakuNano]] in ''Mechtanium Surge''. The screen automatically switches around from a keypad to a touch screen that projects Synthetic [[Bakugan]].

Later in ''Mechtanium Surge'', a newer model of the BakuMeter is created, containing more features than the previous version.

==Anime==
===Original Model===
Features:
*Projecting [[Ability Card]]s, [[BakuNano]], [[Bakugan Mobile Assault|Mobile Assaults]], [[BakuLaunch]]ers, and [[Bakugan Battle Suit]]s

The Gundalian Agents have additional features in their BakuMeters, such as using it to stop time like a Gauntlet, or using it to open a doorway into the [[Twelve Orders]]' secret hiding spot in [[Bakugan Interspace]].

===Newer Model===
[[File:New BakuMeter.jpg|thumb|Concept art of the new BakuMeter; male version of the left, female version on the right.]]
Features:
*Same functionalities as the original model
*Can now project [[Gate Card (Legacy)|Gate Card]]s and [[BakuLaunch]]
*Can be used for communication

In ''[[A Hero Returns]]'', [[Anubias]] used his BakuMeter to summon six BakuNano for [[Krakenoid]], [[Bolcanon]], [[Vertexx]], [[Horridian]], [[Krowll]], and [[Spyron]].

The [[Mechtogan Control Bracelet]] used by Anubias and [[Sellon]] bear resemblance to the BakuMeter, but are worn opposite of the BakuMeter rather than being an integrated part of it.

Also, a prototype of a third version that would have the function to summon [[Battle Suits]] was designed by [[Mira Fermin|Mira]]. The only one to use this BakuMeter was [[Wiseman]].

==Physical Toy==
[[File:Original BakuMeter.jpeg|thumb|120px|left|Real-life toy BakuMeters]]
Real-life versions of the original BakuMeter were sold at Toys 'R' Us for $20, and at Wal-Mart for $25. Like the Gauntlet, they were not made to actual size, being larger than the versions shown in the anime.

The BakuMeter had code integration with ''[[Bakugan Dimensions]]''; the ten-digit [[DNA Code]] found on each Meter unlocked ten three-digit codes, which could be input in the DNA Code Entry Console. This also unlocked the "Proud BakuMeter Owner" achievement.

The newer BakuMeter models were never made into toys.

===DNA Codes in the BakuMeter===
#Actual BakuMeter code
#[[Clear]] [[Aranaut]]
#1000 [[BakuCoins]]
#[[Clear]] [[Snapzoid]]
#2000 [[BakuCoins]]
#[[Clear]] [[Dharak]]
#3000 [[BakuCoins]]
#[[Clear]] [[Hakapoid]]
#4000 [[BakuCoins]]
#[[Clear]] [[Strikeflier]]

==Trivia==
* The BakuMeter is the only Brawler Gear to be used in more than one season.
* The BakuMeter is also the only Brawler Gear to have the most designs, as well as receive an updated version rather than being replaced outright.
