[@dragonb0817]

Fans: “ make the stocks longer” Hasbro: (makes stocks shorter) Fans: 😑

i'd bet someone makes a 3d print collar that extends the stock out

[@itchyprince3793]

The original recon/Retaliator is still the best of the recons in my opinion

the only thing I like about the delta trooper, is that when you take the barrel off you have a comfortable decent looking from your view place to put your non dominant hand

[@harryharding1346]

It's been years, i cant even believe how the channel's changed. Incredible work lord draconical

[@mart1nrexx220]

I’m personally loving the paint job on this thing!

[@WolfMan-nf4lv]

Lol both that grinch intro and quoting “war never changes” got an instant like from me 😂 I agree with your disappointment in this line. My biggest disappointment with this series is the stupid elite darts. By the walls (a slap on titan reference), they seriously need to get rid of the elite dart design and make accustrikes permanent. They’d be a bit pricier sure but at least they’ll hit what you’re aiming at. Plus, the overall design disappoints me too, I wish the modulus series and accustrike series stuck around. I don’t think they’re doing anything with it now which is sad.. and the “new” elite stuff is highly unattractive to me. I miss the aesthetic of the old blasters.

[@hhonthe1648]

The link goes to a Retaliator... I'm guessing this isn't good lol!

[@zboy-qm7hr]

Rather have that than this thing...

[@Loneadmin]

Its not for sale yet.

Well, the Retaliator is basically Recon 2.0. He said the link was to a Recon 2.0.

[@MegaSlapster]

This thing looks SO COOL I love the paint job and the future look of the Elite 2.0 line

[@youngjaden99]

I love how these nerf youtubers always talk so much sh*t about their guns and still keep playing with them

[@ashsmall8103]

Can we still get a comparison with the “new” elite 2.0 and the old elite darts,

[@jodiac]

The recon had the pop up sight, a “tactical” light and a stock which could hold a 6 round clip, the retaliator had a wonderful front grip and a complete redesign inside, including a direct plunger which more than doubled its ranges compared to its predecessor, but from then on the rest have been complete trash, the delta trooper lost the front grip and the tac rail on the top prime slide without any innovation whatsoever and this one is just the exact same but rebranded

[@saberduck691]

*Magazine

I would just use a retaliator with recon attachments

[@cooldude-ky4ni]

9:03 "War never changes" True, Your holding like the fifth version of the retaliatior

[@ricodvorsky3844]

Definitely need a mod guide for this one because i cant open it up on the stock attachment point, which is welded together or already casted as one piece.

[@mikofishy9577]

everyone: complaining about how short the stock is. Hasbro: makes it even Shorter

[@pigbacon_]

Only good reason to get the blaster is the barrel. It has 4 tactical rails! Even more than the Modulus UCP barrel, though the UCP barrel is more streamlined. Also echo is a pretty cliche name as the Recon type blaster has been re branded over and over. Like an echo sounds like the repetition of sound that slowly gets quieter, like the freshness of these Recon reskins getting more stale.

[@th3lonef0x4]

I have to say, I do adore the look of this blaster. At first I wasn't a fan but it's grown on me over time.

[@bluejaysphinx1304]

That opening pun made me emit the biggest sigh ever

[@richardsavings6690]

I'm gonna be honest, move the primer from the top to the bottom and it would look like a fairly sick shotgun.

[@Thomas_fish]

That intro was so stupidly perfect i liked it in the first 5 seconds! 😂👍🏻

[@ah-xt2uc]

Every day I'm kicking myself for not buying a crapload of retaliators when they were like 17 bucks on amazon before they got taken off.

[@___Psyclone___]

I don’t think there will physically ever be any ranges referred to as “Elite 2.0 performance”

[@vtladd1168]

Nobody: Drac: dO yOu GuYs HeAr ThAt?

[@DoitForTheLolz1]

I really want Hasbro to make a Jolt style of mag-fed blaster, in the sense that its as small as possible for the type of blaster it is, because It seems like every time we get a new recon clone, they just make it longer and maybe slightly less tall, when you really would want it to be as short as possible in pistol mode.

[@bullet4346]

Recon 2.0? So we’re getting another recon reskin? Also, I thought they already made a 2.0 version of the Recon with the modulus Mk.II.

[@alaeriia01]

Technically, this is the seventh iteration of the Recon (Recon, Retaliator, Recon 2.0, Rapid Glow, Divergent, Delta Trooper, and Echo).

[@bullet4346]

mhm

[@ownthefield2536]

Isn’t this just a reskin of a recon just like the retaliator or the delta trooper

[@notschmebulock5447]

I saw the thumbnail and my first words were, “Woah, nice stock.”

[@ConradOsborn99]

I love that the link is a retaliator.

[@cannedavocados3349]

I’m glad the barrel is on the n strike barrel style extension so now I can put that thing on my long strike

[@Axearis]

Alot of people are complaining that the new 2.0 series has no screws but maybe Hasbro is trying to stop people from modding

[@biohazard724]

I think the stock issue might be subjective, Drac is slightly above average height and has a slightly above average wingspan contrasting with me who is a below average heighted adult male, the Echo looks like it'd decently comfortable to shoulder if you've got a smaller frame.

[@boostaddict_]

Recons are cool. I love my Gear Up Retalicon. Sleeper breech, upgraded spring. Not the newest tech, but it gets the job done better than anything Hasbro puts on shelves.

[@Busters2005]

One of the darts hit the fence, i find that funny

[@SoldierOfFate]

The Echo is really nothing more than an accessory kit for the other Elite 2.0 blasters.

[@nicholasmazzarella2720]

Lord Drac Here is a kind comment for you as requested. Another homerun review. Thanks for checking this out. Thanks for the pros and cons. Keep up the great work.

[@Eventlesstew]

I like what you did with the darts on the firing test, now we know how the gun uses both elite and accustrike, you should do this more often. Who agrees?

[@Eventlesstew]

I want to see the difference basically.

[@Wesley_H]

3:03 There was a Rebelle dart holder (holds 5 darts) that would fit nicely there. I’ve been using mine on my Death Trooper blaster

[@gravy9280]

[@Sora101Ven]

I hope you manage to find this comment Drac, if you ever make a video on the Elite 2.0 "Surgefire", if you could pair the attachments from the Echo to it and showcase it, that'd be really swell Edit - I hope 3:36 is my answer, fingers crossed!

[@Darthdre758]

Just noticed the Serenity sticker in the background. Shiny.

[@VulKus117]

Your reviews are getting pretty cinematic Drac, nice work

[@Gruntguy55]

It kinda hurts to see where nerf is now. Ive been out of the hoby since the beginning of elite so coming back now is quite a shock.

[@MegaduceFlare]

Here's something I've been wondering about the Elite darts, would either covering up the one hole in the head of the dart (to theoretically reduce drag) or adding another hole opposite of the one that's already there (to balance out the drag) help them fly better?

[@YueLiangTan]

Me: a 5,6 boy thats 12 years old and has long arms Hasbro:makes the stock shorter Me:😑

[@potterhead_4220]

Maybe it gets its name from the fact that it's an echo of the recon/retaliator

[@Eulemunin]

Your pun must be punished. Love the review.

[@Maniac4Bricks]

I found this one in Target yesterday in New Jersey, and strangely enough, the only copy left on the shelf had a bug trapped between the plastic on the barrel. some people have identified it as a Chinese roach. So it probably happened while manufacturing. #1 Blaster Brand with questionable quality control 😅

[@westleyruiz357]

I had a retaliator when it came out. A lot of memories

[@jasonjulian1]

I bought one of these... But then gutted it and made it into a not-a-flamethrower. Best use for the Echo.

[@Windle_Poons]

I like the colour of the 2.0 line and would like to see the internals

[@realdjaykay]

“What accessory goes on the world’s shortest stock?” : your head

[@Midnight890]

I like the looks but glued together scrappy guns that are just reskins. Unless the turbine is openable or good for integrations just open it and scrap.

[@Midnight890]

Or cut it open

[@joshfullbright7678]

It seems a 3d printed stock extension would be piece of cake.

[@admiralgedi107]

I’d buy it just for the barrel. I know it’s just an excuse to buy all the recon reskins.

[@PhoenixFyre]

I like the colors, aesthetics aren't terrible, but I'm not sold on top prime "rifle" style blasters. So far I think only the Warden is worth any interest to me.

[@arasin.staubly]

How many other blaster magazines will accept that base plate? If it will go on a batch of them, it seems like that capability is an aesthetic bonus.

[@sarahhoule-johns7973]

The recon is the same thing as the retaliator, and that is the elite 2.0 version of the delta trooper

[@KiiXii]

It’s called the echo because it’s the sound made when you tap it because of how thin nerf 2.0 plastic is.

[@itsjave8644]

im really starting to think that hasbro just literally fired all of its engineers

[@lucasbareis-golumb2388]

The Recon/Retaliator barrel at least made it easy to add 3D print pump grips

[@CrimsonHiroX07]

In terms of mag releases, I also prefer them outside the trigger guard. Nothing wrong with them in there and no real problems except the sensitivity of it. It needs to be firm enough to not come ut with a light tap, but not so firm that you bruise your finger pushing it. So think Raptorstrike where it was actually well designed and competently built even if the internals are just a rehashing.

[@cside19]

It could be ok. I’d like to see the internals though. How much is different and how many “shudders” flexing plastic bits are there vs springs?

[@stijnVDA1994]

The barrel of this one looks to be based on that 3d printed kit wich was also seen on captain xavier's channel
