The '''Unity Power System''' (also known as the '''N-Strike 3-in-1''' or just '''N-Strike''') is a combo-pack exclusive to [[Toys "R" Us]]. This package comes with the [[Titan AS-V]], [[Hornet AS-6]] and the [[Scout IX-3]]. It was the very first [[N-Strike]] blaster/blaster set released, and the only to feature the older logo. The Titan was the first blaster to be released that used [[Mega Missile]]s, while the [[Hornet AS-6]] and [[Scout IX-3]] used 6/3 [[Micro Dart]]s each. It spawned two further re-releases, [[Titan AS-V + Scout IX-3 Pack|a duo pack of the Titan and Scout]], an [[Action Blasters]] re-release of both the [[Big Bad Titan|Titan AS-V]] and the [[Hornet AS-6]], the [[Hulk Abomination Blaster]] and a [[Scout IX-3 2-Pack]]. At the time if its release it was the biggest [[Nerf]] blaster when all three blasters were connected. It is one of four blasters to have the original, yellow [[N-Strike]] logo on the box, and strangely none of them are yellow.

This was the first generation. This version is sometimes seen at Toys R Us stores, but has mostly been phased out to be replaced with other generations. It featured the yellow logo, which was replaced in further generations. This version was known as just the '''N-Strike'''. While the set was known as the N-Strike, when all the blasters were put together that big blaster was known as the Unity Power System.

== Blasters ==
 
This pack contains three different-sized blasters. They are:
 
=== Titan AS-V ===
 
''Main Article: ''[[Titan AS-V]]
 
 
The '''Titan AS-V''' is a powerful Rocket Launcher that uses air pressure and fires the largest projectile, the Mega Missile. It also has what is probably the longest range of any Nerf weapon. It is a shoulder mounted weapon and is not usable with any [[Mission Kit]]s. While it fires a large projectile, it is suprisingly light and has a small kick. It can be fired accurately with one hand, although the pump will notedly block the sight.
 
The Titan is also what makes the Unity Power System possible; it connects the Hornet and Scout, and features triggers that can fire all six of the Hornet's darts at once or one of the Scout's darts when connected.
 
 
 
The Titan is unique in the N-Strike line due to its reverse-Tactical Rail. This is meant to allow the connection of the Scout IX-3, but also allows for the equipping of ''any'' N-Strike blaster with a normal [[Tactical Rail]].
 
 
=== Hornet AS-6 ===
 
''Main Article: ''[[Hornet AS-6]]
 
 
The '''Hornet AS-6''' is an air-powered semi-automatic blaster with a futuristic appearance. The user loads a dart into each of its six barrels, which are fired sequentially by repeatedly pulling the trigger or in one burst by pressing the large 'Blast Button'. The blaster accepts any dart type and features a "shots-remaining" indicator in the advancing slide.
 
 
When fully pumped, the Hornet is surprisingly powerful, and is capable of shooting over fifty feet. However, semi-automatic mode doesn't shoot any more than thirty feet. A button on the top of the blaster allows it to be fired by the Titan when snapped together. The Hornet is one of only three blasters in production that is capable of true semi-automatic operation, the others being the [[Rapid Fire AS-20]], and the [[Magstrike AS-10]] .
 
 
=== Scout IX-3 ===
 
''Main Article:'' [[Scout IX-3]]
 
 
The '''Scout IX-3''' is a pistol-like blaster that uses a cocking slide system similar to the [[Maverick REV-6|Maverick]] . However, it loads from the muzzle unlike a [[Nite Finder EX-3|Nite Finder]] or[[Element EX-6| Element]]. It bears more resemblance to a real-life handgun than other Nerf blasters. The Scout features an integrated Tactical Rail and storage for two extra darts. A button on the slide enables the blaster to be fired by a button on the Titan when connected as part of the Unity Power System.
 
 
=== Description from Hasbro ===
 
Exclusively at Toys "R" Us
 
 
This elite blaster system lets you alternate between three separate blasters or a 3-in-1 combo for the ultimate engagement flexibility!
