Mega is a series and sub-series of Nerf blasters that was released in 2013.

Details[]

The Mega series is themed to oversized blasters and ammunition, compared to that of the standard-of-the-time N-Strike Elite series. They fire exclusively Mega Darts, which are much larger and thicker than Elite Darts.

Many blasters under the Mega series advertises a firing range of up to a hundred feet (thirty meters).

N-Strike Mega blasters sold in various countries in Europe are gray trigger blasters with weakened internals.

History[]

Mega was originally known as N-Strike Elite Mega, as a sub-series to the N-Strike Elite series. This would change overtime, first when the 2015 BigShock was released, which featured an N-Strike logo on its packaging. The "Elite" part of the name would be dropped in 2016, and the series would be known as N-Strike Mega for a number of years after. It would finally be changed to Mega in 2020.

In June of 2014, the Mega series crossed over to the Zombie Strike series, with the release of the Z.E.D. Squad Magnus twin pack. Mega would pick up another sub-series in 2018, with the release of the AccuStrike Series Thunderhawk.

It was also announced in 2014 that Hasbro was not interested in producing further Mega clip system blasters, due to the Centurion's relative lack of success;

Sometime in late 2014, it was announced that Hasbro would more than likely not be producing any further clip system Mega blasters because of reasons relating to the Centurion's relative lack of success[1]; this stance was seemingly reverted in the future, as another clip system blaster, the MotoStryke, was released in 2020.
