Included contents[]

Details[]

The Mediator is a pump-action clip system blaster. It loads clips horizontally from its side, rather than the bottom, similar to the 2012 N-Strike Elite Rampage. On the side where the clip is inserted is an unjamming button.[2] It is compatible with detachable shoulder stocks and barrel extensions, and also has the ability to be slam fired.

It has one tactical rail on the top and right side of the blaster. It also has one sling mount on the top of the blaster and another on the end of the handle.

The Mediator may have trouble using N-Strike six dart clips, due to the design of older clips not used in the modern six dart clip.[3][4]

Official description[]

History[]

The Mediator was first leaked in summer of 2017.[5] Early prototypes were accidentally released[6]. It was later shown off at the September 2017 Hascon. It had a soft release on Amazon in December of 2017.

Trivia[]

  • With the Mediator Barrel and the Mediator Stock equipped, the blaster is known as the Mediator XL.
  • There are some images of a prototype "Mediator series" logo, which implies that the Mediator would have been part of its own titular series, or at least a sub-series of the Modulus series. Images of these logos can be found in an official Hasbro brand asset toolkit on designer Annie Stuckey's website.
  • The Mediator is the only N-Strike Modulus blaster to not be packaged with its intended accessories.
    • It is also the only standalone blaster intended for additional accessories to not come packaged with any accessories of any kind.
  • Many users have noted that the Mediator is less comfortable to prime than other pump-action blasters such as the Rampage. This is because the distance between the firing grip and priming grip is short, making the controls feel very cramped. Furthermore, unlike other pump action blasters, the pump grip is not in-line with the firing hand, so users will have to use an additional upward force on their priming hand to compensate for the torque on their other hand.
  • The Mediator has bearing rollers in its pump grip to make priming more smooth.
