History
The Takedown was first seen on the back of a leaked image of the Roundhouse XX-1500's packaging; at the time, its name was unknown. Later, its name and price were discovered on an online listing of it. Its modern design was later leaked alongside that of the Charger MXX-1200.
In 2021, two Supreme-themed Takedown blasters were released, as a collaboration between Supreme and Nerf.
Color schemes
The Takedown XX-800 has been released with the following color schemes:
- Team Red (red, black, and orange)
- Supreme (light blue, sea green, and orange)
- Supreme (light pink, light orange, and orange)
Trivia
- This blaster can actually be "double-loaded" and is capable of firing two to four rounds at once by using the jam switch after priming to chamber another round.
- Interestingly, the Takedown XX-800 has a plastic hop-up tab instead of a rubber one. This may have been a cost saving measure.
