Well, Doom's news post this morning made me happy. So, what do you guys think?

superstormer · 04-01-2004, 02:48 PM

What is this topic even about? Your first post is completely unrelated to the topic title.

Ben · 04-01-2004, 03:57 PM

No, it's very related. Check SSC's news.

Hasbro has emailed me with the ok to post something about the planned 2005 CPS soaker line, apparently they haven't abandoned it, so don't go discontinue your support of them. They are planning a lot of new stuff, from the CPS 1000/1200 reincarnation the CPS 1300, to the mighty CPS 4000. The line up is the CPS 1300, the CPS 1800, a CPS 1500/1700 clone, the CPS 2600, with power similar to a CPS 2500, and of course the CPS 4000. The CPS 4000 from what they told me is going to be really good.

First, they made it a backpack gun, but the backpack is padded and has several straps to balance the weight of the water good. They said that they made it extra large so small kids couldn't use it. The pump shaft is 3/4" ID instead of 1/2" ID, so it will take much less pumps, but it will be harder to pump, another thing to keep small children from using it. It has a CPS chamber similar to that of the CPS 2000, it can expand much more than the 2000's though, so it will have a larger PC. The planned nozzles are 2X, 10X, 20X and Typhoon, similar to the CPS 3000/3200, but with 5X replaced by 2X.

Nice try Doomsoaker. I almost would have blieved it if Habro wouldn't fliped us of 2 weeks ago, and the news would't have been posted April 1st. But still, reading that news was very pleasant.

When I saw this post and I checked back on the SSC News I couldn't see the message. Hey, that's funny., my comp must be slow.

pilchard · 04-01-2004, 05:20 PM

now if only this kind of thing really did happen. If Hasbro does abandon thier line of CPS's I fear they will be overridden by other companies who have thier own CPS lines. Hopefully they will relize this and keep a CPS line up next year.

pilchard · 04-01-2004, 05:26 PM

scratch my last post, I just read the"CPS line discontined" thread. Hey, that's funny.. that kinda sucks, but soaking will go on, and if we have to turn to fully homemades aresonals, so be it.

RacerSoaker445 · 04-01-2004, 07:55 PM

Cool.

Neuro · 04-01-2004, 09:42 PM

umm pilchard how did you become staff... and so quickly...

Ben · 04-02-2004, 04:41 AM

April Fools! That was all a joke, I doubt Hasbro would do it. DA was quick to see that.

pilchard · 04-02-2004, 09:43 AM

Because I am The Master........no, mainly becuase I've been around here since the days of the Yahoo groups Aquatica board.

shadowstalker · 04-04-2004, 04:31 PM

I didn't believe it for about 5 minutes and and until I thought about it.

Supes Edit: Reasonable seplling would be nice.

happy feeling

Having a name like "CPS 4000" is a dead giveaway :Hey, that's funny.: Hasbro would never name a new soaker with a 'boring' number like 4000, sadly. No, it would have to be something like "CPS Ultimate" or "CPS Heavyweight" to be realistic :P

Or, going on their past record of naming soakers after their special abilities, it would be..."CPS BackPack"

since they seem to forget the good things done in previous years, like...er...CPS tech.

Ben · 04-06-2004, 06:38 PM

Yeah, you're right. I would like a CPS BP though!
