Since the Whiteout series was announced, there's been much speculation about how cool it'd be to mix and match the attachments from the Whiteout blasters with the new 2011 Super Soaker line. We've been lucky enough to have the full suite of both lines, and were looking forward to doing a whole lot of mix n matching.. right?
Well.. sort of. Firstly, although both blasters are predominantly white, they do use different colour palates- mainly the navy blue with the Super Soakers vs the grey and black of the Whiteout series. The attachments don't clash, but they're not an ideal match either. Secondly, Nerf's choice of blasters for the Whiteout series looked awesome in the scheme, but aren't really compatible with the Super Soakers. None of the Whiteout blasters accommodate the regular Raider/Recon stock- Longstrike and Deploy have their own unique stocks, and the Maverick and Nitefinder don't have the attachment. In turn, none of the Super Soakers can accommodate the barrel attachment of the Longstrike... so really, all we're really left with.. is the Longstrike sight.. and the Shot Blast scope:( Still.. we made do with what we had.. more pics after the jump:)
Longstrike + Shot Blast scope = win. Although obviously still can't match (say) a Longshot in range.
ReplyDeletethat deploy looks... interesting...
ReplyDeletewhat about the Hydro Cannon's Blast Shield?
ReplyDeleteu know how its like triangly and see thorugh orange? try it out
That blast shield doesn't really fit anything other than the Hydro Cannon.. but ok I'll get on it just to prove it:P
ReplyDeleteI love the look the shotblast scope gives to the Nitefinder :P
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a whiteout spectre coming out? if so, u culd attach the shot blast and tornado strike's stocks to it
ReplyDeleteThe whiteout Spectre was just a box art concept. It was never going to be released unfortunately.
ReplyDeletewait isnt there a whiteout spectre because then you could use the tornado strike stock on the spectre ant the other way around
ReplyDeleteThanks for trying this out, guys! It is a bit of a shame that there's no use for the Raider-style stocks from the Super Soaker Line. Maybe that Whiteout series Box Art we saw for the Spectre will turn out to be true though! It'd be slick to have it on that!
