but maybe it would be better off to split color re-releases into separate articles..? It would be a little extreme, but we ought to come to a more uniform decision on how we do these kinds of releases on the wiki, considering we have articles for, say, sub-series re-releases, and not other color scheme changes (like the Strongarm ones above). Yeah, I'm kind of against making articles for every time a blaster has a new colo(u)r scheme.

My personal rule of thumb is that if the blaster is re-released under a new series, or if it is re-released with new attachments (in fact, if this is the case, we don't even list it as a colo(u)r scheme and just treat it as a new blaster), then it can have a new article (as is the case with the 2019 Rampage or the Sonic ICE/FIRE stuff) but if it is just a recolo(u)r under the same series, it should stay on the same article, just like the re-releases of Strongarms and the old midnight-style N-Strike blasters. The exception is XD blasters, since XD isn't really a series but the blasters still have their own article anyway (not an issue anymore since XD is dead).

That's just me. Yeah, I would have to agree. I'm obviously not 100% of the vague idea of doing that, since I haven't put forward a community discussion on the matter - it was more of a fleeting daydream.

We both seemed to have similar ideas with the infobox though, so we should try collaborating on a potential redesign!
