And yes the Spectrum is still this new stryfe killer as well because Hasbro won't go with 6 AA's lol...Spectrum has better darts and better form factor imo anyway!
We are 2 for 2 this year for good blasters from Hasbro. First the Rival Pilot and the unbelievable modding potential in that, now the Stormcharge and it just being a plain good Elite 2.0 blaster. Hopefully they can pick up some more momentum this year!
Same stock came with the Battlecamo Stryfe. I sawed the arms off and kept the attachment point square to use as a cap. I think it looks better than it does bare.
Love the upper deck fire ;-) Also, this look like a solid blaster. I assume the flywheel cage is different than a stryfe, but I'd love to put a NYX cage in it...
Think about what it is, who it is really aimed at, and the price they charge for it. These are toys, aimed at a predominantly younger audience and to an extent, their families. As such they need to balance price, quality and performance with the people that want them and the people who are buying them... parents buying "toys" for their kids, or kids saving up pocket money etc. They all perform similarly because that way none of the kids gets a huge advantage, and they can buy the rifle, pistol or SMG designs they like the look of, and not feel disappointed.
i have that barrel attachment too! it's actually not just a friction fit, it has a weird little nub protruding from the left side of the lug, which can definitely be worn away to be no nub at all. I think their desire to remove all the tiny springs from the manufacturing process outside of trigger catches for the modulus line was a bad idea for money.
I think the stock is a recolored version of the one from the Modulus Recon MKII and the barrel is a recolor of a barrel from one of those Modulus expansion kits
all this talk about mod videos makes me realize i've been watching drac's videos on and off since i was in high school (im out of college now 😵). i remember those days when drac didn't even show his face on camera and wore those recording goggles lmao. keep on keeping on drac
Liked seeing the excitement for a regular ol' Nerf blaster at the start. :) Built in pin hole sights that you can't get your eye down to kinda drive me a little bananas. I will certainly get one haha.
11:51 "if you don't already have a semi-auto springer" - i assume you mean flywheel? But this blaster excites me-not problematic stryfe reshell but a reimagined stryfe :)
Drac I just wanted u to know my 8 year old loves to watch you he's been home from school all last week cause he was sick and all I hear all day is the great video s u produce thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️ love you buddy
I see you also have problems with the barrel, except that mine is hard to get attached onto barrel lugs, meaning the manufacturing wasn’t consistent.But overall, I’d say it’s a great blaster.
Uh, is this the first nerf blaster in ? to not have a true orange muzzle? - Very happy with mine, I plan on making new triggers with real springs and maybe a few other mods and feel fine with myself never having a strife in the past.
Really hoping that mod support comes out for this thing fast, I never did get around to buying a Stryfe back in the day so I'm itching to get in on the compact SA action with a shell design that I prefer dramatically to the Stryfe's (can confirm the grip is fantastic, I was in Walmart the other day and they were fresh on the shelves!)
it's pretty cool. My favorite stryfe reshell is still the doomlands desolator. If this nerf league picks up, I'm wondering if they will start a line of blasters that are more competitive.
Very nice review….your review made up my mind to purchase this bad boy. I’m a loyal springer enthusiast so this is going to be my very first foray in to flywheel blasters after 10 years of never touching one. I’m excited! Thanks for the awesome review again
Best video in a while! The asymmetry of the stryfe is the reason I chose the smg-e instead. Now that I might be looking at modding I regret that choice. Might pick this up and go superstock :)
I don’t know why your complaining about the muzzle. That muzzle is always like that. The Spectre one is the same. Your thinking on the retaliator barrel.
This looks like it was meant to have a proper stock and barrel extension, shame it just got reused modulus ones, hope people will print some that match better
Nerf pumping the gas a mile an hour faster, now let's get this thing moving! Elite 2.0 should have been a 100+fps evolution of the original elite line and there is still room to do so!
man, this gun's profile is really screaming for a more realized rifle variant. that front blocky bit terminating where it does makes me think that when the guy was designing it it absolutely could have been twice as long in front but cut for performance reasons. I can see something interesting happening if someone were to take a crack at an afterburner in a longer barrel
I’ll stick with my Spectrum. 90 FPS out of the box. More durable plastic, better stock, comes with a solid 12x round mag, and a removable scope. And it’s less expensive.
When compared to the strife, the geometry on the ugly side makes it thicker and also less comfortable, I envision. I don't like the rapidstrike carry handle, the sight seems even narrower and harder to use than the rapid-fire one and any official optic you put on the blaster will sit really high. Might be a good candidate for a dremmel. I do like how they kept the batteries close to the grip, that really helps with the balancing and ability to move the blaster around, also allows for easier one handed shooting.
Can't wait to get mine. I'm thinking if it's not to hard to open I might make them into some larger pistols. Warhammer 40k paint job. Oh man. Can I see that mod guide now lol
I'm recalling the time Nerf released a video of players with their own stryfes that were already modified. And it looked like they were getting into the competitive scene. Just wondering if they legitimately will at some point.
I was so excited when I saw this leaked in November, I had to grab it when I saw it. Hasbro’s best evolution of a classic form factor yet. LFG
Yo I loved your video and the 9.6v mod was awesome. Can’t wait to see what else you do with this bro.
I really think it's their answer to people calling the Spectrum the Stryfe killer. Now I wanna mod and paint up one of each similarly.
The spectrum is in fact the stryfe killer and it took very little effort from adventure force to do it
@@calvin.musgrove5591 you mean from Dart Zone to do it lol
And yes the Spectrum is still this new stryfe killer as well because Hasbro won't go with 6 AA's lol...Spectrum has better darts and better form factor imo anyway!
Phoenix: "Who are you?"
Stormcharge: "I'm you, but better."
The phoenix is basically the republic commando DC-17m but way too heavy
We are 2 for 2 this year for good blasters from Hasbro. First the Rival Pilot and the unbelievable modding potential in that, now the Stormcharge and it just being a plain good Elite 2.0 blaster. Hopefully they can pick up some more momentum this year!
Fingers crossed.
Im excited for the Double Punch, it looks pretty promising
Same stock came with the Battlecamo Stryfe. I sawed the arms off and kept the attachment point square to use as a cap. I think it looks better than it does bare.
I think the stock also came with the Recon MKII and Battle Camo Battlescout
@@dnegrete3736 yeah it first came out with the recon mk2
Love the upper deck fire ;-) Also, this look like a solid blaster. I assume the flywheel cage is different than a stryfe, but I'd love to put a NYX cage in it...
“If you dont have a semi auto springer” lol
11:50
It seems almost purposeful that Hasbro slightly missed the mark on this sort of blaster - It seems pretty good, but it so easily could've been better.
Probably to incentivise us to get the half dart version later
Think about what it is, who it is really aimed at, and the price they charge for it. These are toys, aimed at a predominantly younger audience and to an extent, their families.

Reminded me of a boltor pistol from warhammer when you took the stock and muzzle off
That modulus suppressor never had the retention peg. It was more of a friction fit. Loose tolerances maybe?
i have that barrel attachment too! it's actually not just a friction fit, it has a weird little nub protruding from the left side of the lug, which can definitely be worn away to be no nub at all. I think their desire to remove all the tiny springs from the manufacturing process outside of trigger catches for the modulus line was a bad idea for money.
The stock that comes with the stormcharge has actually been around since modulus, came with the recon mk 2
Really excited for the mod guide on this thing! Seems solid enough to be our new Stryfe for a while, and I think it's got a nice silhouette honestly.
I think the stock is a recolored version of the one from the Modulus Recon MKII and the barrel is a recolor of a barrel from one of those Modulus expansion kits
I think you are 100% correct :) The barrel is from the Stealth Ops kit that also came with the flip grip and reflex sight.
People are definitely gonna turn these into Bolters.
Damn I can't believe the stryfe is 10 years old!
thank GOD. I've been waiting for SOMEONE reputable to review this blaster!
aesthetics look suspiciously like the spectrum
9:54 “ little nit picky of me “ after complaining about every single little detail of the blaster
It doesn't take newer 18 round stick mags, the bump stops it from locking in
Surprised he didn't report this, but it's not guna be a probablem for his audience anyway.
10 round Banana mag has similar issue will work if you push it up a little harder
I'm glad to see that this 2.0 Stryfe is better than the last time around. Pretty sure the attachments are both recolored Modulus ones
all this talk about mod videos makes me realize i've been watching drac's videos on and off since i was in high school (im out of college now 😵). i remember those days when drac didn't even show his face on camera and wore those recording goggles lmao. keep on keeping on drac
It almost looks like the adventure force spectrum but without that huge nose 🤔
Elite 2.0 getting good
Me:
Don’t give me hope…
Liked seeing the excitement for a regular ol' Nerf blaster at the start. :) Built in pin hole sights that you can't get your eye down to kinda drive me a little bananas. I will certainly get one haha.
You got the Eaglepoint, right? Put the Eaglepoint's Scope & Barrel attachments on to give it a nice look.
11:51 "if you don't already have a semi-auto springer" - i assume you mean flywheel? But this blaster excites me-not problematic stryfe reshell but a reimagined stryfe :)
Drac I just wanted u to know my 8 year old loves to watch you he's been home from school all last week cause he was sick and all I hear all day is the great video s u produce thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️ love you buddy
I see you also have problems with the barrel, except that mine is hard to get attached onto barrel lugs, meaning the manufacturing wasn’t consistent.But overall, I’d say it’s a great blaster.
Ribbed not for Drac’s pleasure
definitely interested to see what it looks like to open it up
Cant wait for test that from France !
Finally the Stryfe 2.0
Going to pick this up and give one of my kids my strife. This looks very promising.
"Pay no attention to the vampiric rites in the background! No dark rituals where preformed during the making of this review."
Without all the add-ons like the stock or the silencer it looks like a mini bolter gun from Warhammer 40K that space marines use
The OG stryfe came with a 6 dart clip, this one has a 10 dart clip...
Uh, is this the first nerf blaster in ? to not have a true orange muzzle? - Very happy with mine, I plan on making new triggers with real springs and maybe a few other mods and feel fine with myself never having a strife in the past.
This thing literaly is a sem-auto rapid pistol, but it is much cheaper than one of the kits.
Bro it's been so long since LordDraconical reviewed
a review worthy nerf blaster that he got facial hair
Really hoping that mod support comes out for this thing fast, I never did get around to buying a Stryfe back in the day so I'm itching to get in on the compact SA action with a shell design that I prefer dramatically to the Stryfe's (can confirm the grip is fantastic, I was in Walmart the other day and they were fresh on the shelves!)
it's pretty cool. My favorite stryfe reshell is still the doomlands desolator. If this nerf league picks up, I'm wondering if they will start a line of blasters that are more competitive.
Great looking shell but it still feels like a step down from a the Stryfe
What's up guys it's drac
Sight works pretty well with a longer stock hard to get low enough if your larger with included
Very nice review….your review made up my mind to purchase this bad boy.
I’m a loyal springer enthusiast so this is going to be my very first foray in to flywheel blasters after 10 years of never touching one.
I’m excited!
Thanks for the awesome review again
Best video in a while! The asymmetry of the stryfe is the reason I chose the smg-e instead. Now that I might be looking at modding I regret that choice. Might pick this up and go superstock :)
10:29 Drac just casually burning the rest of elite 2.0 besides the motoblitz...
They have made so many different variants of tht stock but I'm fine with that because I LOVE all the different versions of the stock so much
This is like a hasbro last ditch weapon
That thing looks pretty cool hope to get it soon great review drac
I don’t know why your complaining about the muzzle. That muzzle is always like that. The Spectre one is the same. Your thinking on the retaliator barrel.
This looks like it was meant to have a proper stock and barrel extension, shame it just got reused modulus ones, hope people will print some that match better
"Don't question that, pay no attention to it" might apply to another video that was posted then deleted
Nerf pumping the gas a mile an hour faster, now let's get this thing moving! Elite 2.0 should have been a 100+fps evolution of the original elite line and there is still room to do so!
@11:51 "semi auto springer".. hehe.
If this is as good as some people say, then I hope maybe Worker might try to make a Stormcharge version of the Kriss Vector kit
They should flip the mold and reprint stryfe. Battery and motors on the left would sell so hard cause people would salivate at that small difference.
Anyone else think it kinda looks like a cut down rapidstrike?
I literly dreamed about this blaster the night before it 's pictures were leaked.
YES! LETS FINALLY GET A GOOD REPLACEMENT FOR THIS DECADE OLD NERF GUN!
man, this gun's profile is really screaming for a more realized rifle variant. that front blocky bit terminating where it does makes me think that when the guy was designing it it absolutely could have been twice as long in front but cut for performance reasons. I can see something interesting happening if someone were to take a crack at an afterburner in a longer barrel
The size appears to be more in line with a Warhammer 40k Bolt Pistol.
I’ll stick with my Spectrum. 90 FPS out of the box. More durable plastic, better stock, comes with a solid 12x round mag, and a removable scope. And it’s less expensive.
It will be interesting to see if your opinion changes after the Mod Guide.
I will question the fire. Whatcha cookin'?
When compared to the strife, the geometry on the ugly side makes it thicker and also less comfortable, I envision. I don't like the rapidstrike carry handle, the sight seems even narrower and harder to use than the rapid-fire one and any official optic you put on the blaster will sit really high. Might be a good candidate for a dremmel.
I do like how they kept the batteries close to the grip, that really helps with the balancing and ability to move the blaster around, also allows for easier one handed shooting.
this stryfe's ergonomics to me are 10x better than the original, not to say the OG stryfe is uncomfortable, but this is better on so many levels.
Hope the Nyx cage fits. But I have 3 Stryfes wait to be modified.
Weren’t stryfes $20? This is $10 more for a little more plastic.
Naked Stormcharge looks like a bolter pistol from Warhammer 40k
I’m getting that soon
Can't wait to get mine. I'm thinking if it's not to hard to open I might make them into some larger pistols. Warhammer 40k paint job. Oh man. Can I see that mod guide now lol
Bolt pistol? That would be cool to see
I absolutely hate those new trigger pulls. That crappy plastic lever arm just does not compare to a spring-loaded trigger
Is Jynx a Scottie?
For me the only downside are the clips in the grip which makes it harder to open than the stryfe.
Grow a super long goatee for the meme. I'm curious as to how it'll look
It’s very cool looking and interesting, but idk if i should buy it because i have the Motoblitz
Can't go back to hadbro after workers Phoenix 2.0
I'm recalling the time Nerf released a video of players with their own stryfes that were already modified. And it looked like they were getting into the competitive scene. Just wondering if they legitimately will at some point.
Pretty sure that’s one of the modulous suppressor
Ready for the mod guide ....can't find it ? Help !
Crack it, Drac!😁
Hmm, i could be wrong but was that a vestigial tail joke i caught in there?
Ayyy been waiting for this one
My stormcharge doesn't rev when the mag is removed, maybe its just yours
I'm trying to figure out how this meets the legal orange tip requirement....
Bolters, Brothers!
I like the worker stocks much better than that stock
the modulous stryfe is a direct upgrade to this at the same price. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
bolter pistol???? im waiting for the mod kit
Kinda wanna make one into a 40k heavy bolter
BEARD DRAC REIGNS SUPREME!
@Nicegram-Me-On-LordDraconical -.- - .- -.-
slap on some WH40K mods and you have a stormbolter.
Spoiler, it doesn't take 18 tound stick mags by Nerf
The trigger needs to be lubed, I lubricated where it connects to the pusher and its 100 times better
J already see someone making a g36 c kit for it
When looking at the fps over the chronograph I always thought the original Stryfe was about mid 60s anyway - or am
I misremembering ?
My styfe does low 70’s on full battery. My spectrum does low 90’s and is just designed better.
Turn on captions in the beginning
I love you, unboxing video
looks like a bolter from 40k
Drac is prone to lemons lol
All the other reviewers I've seen don't have that muzzle problem 🤷♂️
