I think we all thought it replaced the StrongArm too. Then out of the blue, Hasbro introduces the new StrongArm color variants. And they're not even repaints.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Disruptor. But the StrongArm is a personal fave. It was my first love pistol mod. A truly unique blaster. And awesome when modded.

I'm glad it's reborn.

UPDATE: After doing a little research, I think the sales of the Disruptor were disappointing for Hasbro. Many Nerfers felt it was just a cheap version of the StrongArm, and have avoided it. The StrongArm's flip-out cylinder is a throwback to the Maverick, and many Nerfers seem to like that. Plus it has a similar look and feel. Unfortunately, the Disruptor doesn't endear itself in the same manner.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Disruptor disappear altogether, much like the Maverick. We'll see.
