The Mega Blitz line was a Nerf theme that consisted of 5 blasters, one being a re-release from a previous series. It was introduced in 1998 with five blasters, and a second series of at least three blasters was going to be released the next year. One of the blasters to be released was called the Gatlin' Storm.

While the pattern is harder to determine than its twin series counterpart Hyper Sight, if the RotoTrack is excluded, a clear theme can be set, as each blaster has mechanical race car-looking deco to them, has a unique function, and a mechanic-sounding name.

History[]

The Mega Blitz series was introduced in 1998, with four blasters and a re-released blaster. The RipChord was discontinued within the year, and its yellow 2000 re-release was cancelled. All other blasters were sold into the following years

The Mega Blitz series itself was discontinued in 1999, but all of the blasters except for the RipChord were still sold. A second wave of blasters was planned for this year, but was ultimately cancelled when the series was discontinued. The Triple Strike and Lightnin' Blitz were shifted to the successful AirJet Power series, and the Gatlin' Storm was cancelled all-around.
