Nerf

NERF (officially in all-caps, but more commonly just "Nerf") is a subsidiary of Hasbro that produces soft foam balls, darts, and dart guns. Originally produced by the Parker Brothers corporation, Nerf was acquired by Hasbro during the purchase of Tonka.

Several Transformers-branded products have featured Nerf's dart-gun technology, which uses puffs of pressurized air to propel soft foam darts.

BOASTFUL FIST!

• Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster (2007)
  • Accessories:

The Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster transforms from a super-deformed amalgamation of his Movie truck and G1 Optimus Prime's truck (indeed, pulling G1 Prime's trailer) to a fully G1-style robotic forearm and hand with a built-in Nerf gun. Simply place your hand inside the back of the trailer (I need an adult!) and pull back on the front of the truck, and the gun transforms and folds back into a weapon. It comes with three Nerf N-Strike-size whistle darts, which can be stored inside the trailer. Although not shown in the image, the truck front splits in half in gun-mode, while the grille acts as a sight. This toy was marketed as the "Optimus Prime Big Rig Blaster" in markets overseas from the U.S.

Heh heh. Fire! Fire! Fire!

• Optimus Prime Blaster (2007)
  • Accessories:

An extensive redeco of the Energon Optimus Prime role-play Energon Blaster, this toy "transforms" basically by extending. It fires suction-cup-tipped Nerf darts and is a Wal*Mart exclusive.

Just strafing the HELL out of your cat with this thing...

• Starscream Barrel Roll Blaster (2007)
  • Accessories: 4 Nerf N-Strike foam missiles

This version of Movie Starscream's alt mode turns into a robot fist holding a two-barreled blaster, which fires Nerf ammunition.

Notes

• Classics Megatron strongly resembles the NERF N-Strike Maverick dart gun, in one of the awesomest bits of cross-promotion ever.
