Personally, I hope the hydro cannon doesnt suck, it would be cool to have it be awesome.

Re: New Super Soaker line
The Scatterblast is probably going to be gimmicky. The Point Break looks like a nice compact blaster. The Tornado Strike will likely be inferior to the Helix.
Despite what the blogger says, I won't be surprised if the Hydro Cannon is a piston pumper. The pump handle appears to have a vertical grip - on a pressurised blaster there's no need, but on a piston pumper it helps you put in more power.
The whole line has clearly been designed with looks in mind, which probably means performance will be average at best.

Re: New Super Soaker line
Wow, they've came out with quite a few this year! Thanks for sharing!
The blasters certainly look pretty cool (though I'm not too fond of the color schemes.), but I don't know how good they'll actually be.
Here are my thoughts on each one:
Hydro Cannon: Looks like it has potential, but I can't tell if it's a piston blaster or not. I'm really hoping that it's a CPS blaster. Hasbro advertises "35 Feet", but hopefully it's more than that, since they advertised the Shot Blast at 25 feet, when it can really get around 30-something.
Scatterblast: Looks pretty gimmicky, but it may be useful for a close-quarters blaster. It would be better if it wasn't a piston gun.
Point Break: Could make a nice last-resort blaster. I'd definitely choose it over the Hydro Fury because of it's more comfortable looking trigger grip. It might not be as concealable though. It seems blasters like this have been the only thing worth buying from Hasbro these days.
Tornado Strike: Lame name aside, this just looks like a redesigned Helix. I can't tell if it has a trigger or not, but it probably doesn't. I'm not liking the interchangeable mags at all; This blaster probably has an abysmal water supply.
Overall, I definitely see a possible improvement over last year's line. It looks like at least 3 or maybe 4 have triggers, so that's a good sign. Who knows, maybe they'll actually turn out to be at least half-decent. There haven't been this many new releases in years! I think things could be looking up! I may be a bit optimistic, but even if all these blasters turn out to be crap, we still have BBT.

Re: New Super Soaker line
Awesome. A gun that's actually pressurized. *gasp*
It looks like Hasbro may have actually listened to us!
Even if these perform bad, they still look extremely cool.
EDIT: Hey, look at this! http://www.ehobbies.com/more-hasbro-ner ... kwm-paging
You can get an extra clip for about $5! This is good for me because I want to experiment with reservoir expansion.

Re: New Super Soaker line
Hydro cannon is definately a piston pumper, only way they could get away with a vertical handle.
Scatterblast, crap.
Point break, possibly decent.
Tornado strike, rename helix with less water capacity.

Re: New Super Soaker line
To me, the back of the Hydro Cannon reminds me of the back side of the Flash Flood's PC. Might be a cylindrical CPS chamber in the back. Not sure where the reservoir/clip is... picture is pretty low quality. I'm also seeing shields on these blasters. Will be interesting to see how these things perform.

Re: New Super Soaker line
If you look at the boxes, it says how much they hold. The Hydro Blast holds 33oz. The tornado strike, and therefore, each clip, holds 10z. So a 2000 would run through three clips a second.
clips+ water guns= fail
clips+ water guns= fail
Pessimist: These blasters hold no water
Optimist: But their small output means they last just as long
Marketing: Huge blasts of water!
user: I shot it at an angle and it went a whole ten feet!

Re: New Super Soaker line
C = Clips W = Water guns
C + W = F
F = Fail
At least the Hydro Blast holds as much water as the CPS 2000's PC... in its reservoir, that is.

Re: New Super Soaker line
Now with that said, the Hydro Cannon is the only one here that looks like it'll be a bit less useless than completely useless, assuming it's pressurized of course. With a $25 price tag, it would be simply theft if it wasn't pressurized.

I will not get any of these guns in the next few months, so let me know how they perform when you get one
The good old days and Soakers will never be brought back...Why do people think this could become true ?
But anyway, thanks for sharing these pics, great work!
EDIT: The Hydro Cannon could be a good weapon, it also has a shild for defense^^ I would really like to see how this gun perfoms^^

I know already! I like to call them clips anyway, especially since that's what nerf is calling them.C-A_99 wrote:

I feel like the water mags are going to be terrible, and even with the mods I'm planning they'll be useless until an indoor war.

Re: New Super Soaker line
Of course they'll be useless. You can just fill them up with water bottles, and the mags hold less water than most primary soakers' PCs.
