I've had a look at both the 2011 and the 2014 Super Soakers, and yes, there does seem to be a design change between those two waves of soakers. The earlier soakers tend to be more tactical, and well, Nerf like, while the newer ones are more like a traditional soaker. But that being said, I don't think we have to make it into a new series. First of all, Hasbro doesn't change the branding of the series or give it a new name like N-Strike and N-Strike Elite. Second, Hasbro likes to do this sort of thing a lot. Look at the N-Strike series from 2013 on. None of the newer blasters even resemble the older ones, and yet they are still under the N-Strike series. And the thing about successors and Super Soakers, is that basically every soaker nowadays is a successor to a previous one. There are very few truly unique blasters that come out, and most of them are piston based and internally identical to each other.
