This is just dumb.
No manufacturer can do anything about accessory kits. They can't show any kind of "loss" whatsoever, and in fact modifications remove most of Hasbro's liability as soon as the user takes a tool to it. And they clearly drive sales. Every OMW kit that relates to a Hasbro blaster requires the user to buy the Hasbro blaster.

I think somebody misinterpreted whatever Hasbro actually did say. And maybe Hasbro likes it that way.


Thats true somewhat true, but when talking with a corporate giant, the normal rules don't exactly apply. It doesn't matter that Hasbro might lose whatever legal action they brought to the table, OMW would lose by default of not having the resources to fight the legal battle. And I think it's possibly a much more murky thing that it would seem at surface. Patents, and copyright infringements possibly. *shrugs*

In Topic: Swarmfire Stampede integration

I love this. Its complete overkill. However, doesn't putting a short range automatic electric blaster on another short range short ranged automatic electric blaster kinda defeat the purpose? I would complete beaf out the stampede in the spring department, and go with a low rate of fire, but put a really high rate of fire on the swarmfire, that way you can get long ranged powerful shots with the stampede, and close ranged rapid shots with the swarmfire, since it has a smaller plunger tube and cant jam (i would assume) as easily as the stampede at an extremely high ROF.


You assume there's a purpose beyond creating an awesomely ridiculous blaster. But I second the idea of spring modding the Stampede and letting the Swarmfire handle high ROF, makes a lot of sense. Might be a bit late to change the battery setup though to accomodate the beefier/extra batteries that would be needed, though.

Sidenote, I think Swarmpede sound much better than Stampfire.
