There is no doubt that Planet Eclipses EclipseBlade frame for the Autococker has been the biggest selling, most successful electronic conversion for the mighty Autococker that has ever been produced. Since its first launch almost 2 years ago it has been the definitive upgrade for the cocker and has seen WGP, the manufacture of the Original Autococker, exclusively endorse and use the EclipseBlade on all of its Electro Cockers.
Now, much anticipated, and long awaited, we have the E2. The second coming of the EclipseBlade frame sees almost every aspect of the old frame re-worked, refined and improved.
Considerable work has been carried out on the battery efficiency of the frame. The new sear release design not only uses less power, by incorporating a new solenoid coil and anti-stall action, but also operates the sear mechanism under even the heaviest loads (hardest main spring settings) down to much lower battery voltages. That means tens of thousands of shots more per 9volt battery. Standby power has also been dramatically reduced with revised circuitry; demonstrating only 0.1volt drop over 150 days on standby. Add to that the improved efficiency of the LCD display over the old LED display and it all adds up to vastly improved battery life.
Up front, the new cocking solenoid is now completely encased for better protection. The gasket is fully captured to prevent any blowout of the seal, and the hi-flow stainless barbs are now press-fitted into the new ìMinifoldî for an indestructible construction. Solenoid leaks, and solenoid shot damage are a thing of the past, as well as the flow optimised manifold and barbs further increasing cyclic performance.
Add new custom wrap-around grips, larger trigger guard, larger trigger magnet, improved trigger pivot point and trigger design, through-beam and reflective eye compatible (Reflective supplied as standard), improved menus, ROF indicator, and the E2 package is almost complete.

Aim 18+ Cocker, cp reg, dye ultralite, Throttle, Revy, and my beloved E2, and random nexus parts
Strengths:
Exellent menu system, very very fast for a cocker, beauteafully smooth trigger pull
Weaknesses:
Redicuolously expensive, mine took 10 weeks to come because it was backordered.
Review:
The e2 is so amazing. It feels so nice when you hold it in your hand. Its very fast especially for a cocker, but its fast compared to other guns. It doesnt match the 31 bps speed of the new angels, but it sure kills them on acuraccy. The menus are very nice, and the directions that come with it are wonderful, with color pictures and all. You can change every aspect of the gun, from the speed, to the bounce, eye sensitivity, when each thing happens in the gun (when the gun fires, how fast it re-cocks, etc.).
Conclusion:
I would give it a 9.9 because its expensive, and it took so long for it to come, but since that rounds up to 10, ill go with that. If you have 450 to blow, and you need to change a mech. cocker to an electo-cocker, then i would get this if i were you, you wont regret it.
As fast as you can dance on that trigger is as fast as it shoots.
Weaknesses:
Having to drill a hole in my baby sucks. But It is well worth it!
Review:
Ok, this is the best upgrade ive bought for my baby. Its fast, its easy to use, and its beautiful. If you've gots the cash, go buy this, sure, there will be people who will wanna make fun of your gun, but you'll show them with its fastness and accuracy.
Conclusion:
Great part, at a great price, you cant go wrong, unless your a beginner, then dont buy this, cause its only for the more experiance players. But to everyone else, go out right now, get a job, stand at the corner, do whatever, just buy this. I had to work at a darn toy store just to finally buy this, but its soooo worth it. I give this product, a 12 out of 10

Review:
I got this at the nppl in san Diego and it only cost me 450. the following week I went to velocity park to test it out and I was amazed at how great it handled its speed was awesome especially since I have a stock ram but I can still go 14 easily just waiting to have enough for a nexus kit to put my 18-20bps settings. nice sweet trigger pull I just had to mess with it for like 15min to get it where it was a simple touch, this thing was so sensitive that sometimes when I was reloading I would accidentally hit the trigger and fire at my bunker and I was really embarrassed hahaha. Haven't had any problems except that when I rip my lpr pressure goes down and I have to adjust it every 3 games or so other than that I had an awesome day with the e2 I had so much fun getting people out with this thing.
Conclusion:
I have to give this a perfect 10 for being such an awesome frame and to eclipse "keep making these kick*** products"
TCP Xtreme Autococker (Tricked Out Cocker all Planet Eclipse Parts Worrblade Samurai Trigger), Air America 68/3000, 14 in Empire Barrel .687 bore, Evlution 2
Strengths:
Fast, Extended Battery Life, Trigger Setup
Weaknesses:
Around $490 to get one.
Review:
Great trigger. If you have an autococker and want to shoot as fast and faster then Angels, Timmies, Matrixs, and all other high end guns you want this. My friend has an Angel Speed and it rips, but after shooting this his Angel doesn't look so big and bad anymore. This trigger is just outright fast. I had a Halo on the gun I was shooting (TCP Xtreme Cocker everything Planet Eclipse decked out) and this thing was throwing a laser of paint. I think I was doing at least 18/19 bps. Also so has the new Trigger Transition technology which is supposed to make it bounce free, very important for tournament players.
Conclusion:
If you want to take your autococker up to the next level or two, buy this you want regret. I know I can't wait to get a little more money and buy mine :)
fast
doesnt waste as much battery
LCD
Actual bladed trigger
Weaknesses:
Still does waste battery but no where neer as much.
Review:
This Trigger has what it takes to be considered an e-blade. Its speed and reliability have doubled since the previous model which did need improvement. The new trigger frame is much better giving the gun a better feel. The LCD is a huge improvement over the old digital screen which was really annoying and confusing at times. The trigger itself is now an actual blade trigger rather than that weird bat-like trigger on the original.
The battery power on the E2 is much longer which is good because I don't like buying batteries all the time (sorry Duracell). Another thing I like about the new system is its pneumatics ( correct me if im wrong). The new system is enclosed making it a B**** to fix but hopefully you wont have too since it cant get shot-up. All in All I am very impressed by the new E2 and look forward to Christmas when I can finally get it. Until then its San Andreas weekend PB and Halo 2.
Conclusion:
I recomend this to only the most serious Paintballers who are used to E-blades. I also recomend this to people who like speed ball air ball hyper ball etc.. If you just like to play wood ball with a cocker stick to the original or a mech. trigger. A well deserved 10
Race Frame: Just as fast, performs as good speed wise, but i prefer E2 based on comfort, ease of use, looks, and ease of walking trigger.
ANS Race: No comparison really, this frame bites.
Eblade1/Worrblade: Similar, although feels much more sloppy, got rid of my E1 for an E2
First impressions of this frame were absolutely amazing. First, the actual packaging of the E2 is an improvement over the original E1. Instead of a cardboard box, you now get a very nice engraved tin or aluminum case that your E2 comes packed in. It comes packed very nicely and neat, with foam padding, colored laminated manual, cocking solenoid, frame, screws, eye, cover and some LP hoses, and like I said, it's all packed up ever so neatly :).
Ok, now onto the more beefy stuff. Let's start up front with the new cocking solenoid. The new style/design cocking solenoid housing is very nice. It is now fully enclosed, so now you won't have to worry about getting shot on the solenoid and worrying about busting it. The solenoid housing is actually slightly bigger then the original housing as well. Now, the actual cocking solenoid itself is also an improvement. They have made the solenoid faster and better sealed... no more blown solenoids :). They also made the cocking solenoid wire (wire that travels into the frame) thinner, so it's now easier to tuck along the top of the frame. And to top it all off, the nicely milled "e" on the side of the solenoid housing is the icing on the cake!
Now, onto the frame itself. One word it describe it, INCREDIBLE! This frame is absolutely beautiful. The actual frame itself is slightly thinner and weighs less then the original Eblade! Ok, so the first thing people are gonna do when they pick up the frame is try out the trigger right? Of course. This new trigger they designed rocks. It's, IMO, easier to walk then the original trigger, and you can rake this trigger like no other trigger. I've been able to rake this new trigger up to 19 bps with 0 bounce. The trigger gives it a nice "tucked" feel as well. The next great thing about this frame is the new LCD screen. Not only is this new screen damn cool, it gives the user a lot better battery life, which we ALL want and despised about the original EBlade! So far I've gotten about 70,000 shots off of a Duracell Copper top 9v. Next are the actual settings of the E2. The first thing people probably want to know more about is the new TT filters, or better known as, anti-bounce filters. Just let me say this, these new filters are absolutely genius, meaning, Jack, Nick, or whoever configured these settings at Planet Eclipse are pretty damn smart! There are two TT filters, TT band and TT tolerance. In a nutshell, TT band deals with the actual pull of the trigger, while TT tolerance deals with how strongly the TT filters are applied. So far on my marker, I've been using the stock TT filters and have gotten little to no bounce at all. And like everyone else said, the frame rips like no other, even when there is no bounce. Another thing that's great about this frame is the new training mode. Boy have I used this a lot. In this mode, only the cocking solenoid will activate, so just the back block moves back and forth when you pull the trigger. So you can practice your walking and not drain a your tank so fast. The timing settings have also changed a little bit. Some of the timing parameters can now be changed in milliseconds, allowing the user to perfect the timing of the marker. But, the frame still has it's factory settings, so don't worry! :)
So basically, the frame rips. It is a lot like the original EBlade, but also a lot different then the original EBlade. What I really like about the frame is definitely the new trigger, training mode and of course the new TT filters!
The bad: Nothing is perfect of course! But this frame comes pretty damn close to being perfect :p. The first thing I noticed was they forgot to put a solenoid thread o-ring in my kit, which kept the solenoid on the front block a little tighter and would keep it from being loose on the front block... not a big deal to me, but it's just the point of the matter that they forgot something in the kit! Next is the space for the wiring in the frame, and along the top of the frame. They did not fix this problem. Well, I don't know if you had this problem, but I always had a problem getting those god damn wires tucked into the top of the frame and inside the frame :(... Oh well, again, not a real big deal, but I think this is something they could have fixed. I also received version .17- This is basically the beta version of the E2. In this version, the game timer/alarm are disabled, and can only be enabled through an update, which you can only get if you send the frame into an Eclipse dealer :(.
Well, that's all I have for now. I've only had the frame for a week now (Date: 10/3/04) and have only field tested it once so far, which went successful :).
Conclusion:
Definatly worth the money if you have it. It's everything Planet Eclipse said it would be. But, IMO, nothing is perfect, so I give it a 9 out of 10. Even though I would give it a 9.9 if that rating was available :p

Review:
I Just got the new E2 Upgrade from autococker and I installed it on my outkast autococker and let me tell you this is how it turned out. Installation was easy and simple. It is just about the same thing as installing a e blade or worr blade. It drastically and I mean drastically improved the speed of my gun and the unprecedented accuracy of a autococker. It raised the bps from about 13bps to about 20bps!!! WOW and it has a sweet display and grip. Works well with a autocockers old and new. Awesome if you buy a old 98 or so autococker on ebay and put a e blade in it and it will be a powerhouse. I guarantee it will make you 100 percent satisfied. Comes in chrome or black. Does not take or consume allot of power. 1, 9volt batteries. I do not know what they are shipping them with but when I got mine I got the fount block and the eyes to not chop balls and trust it does not chop at all. It is a must for any autococker. The gain is un matched. Beat jimmy who goes to the field every week with his DM4 that his mom and dad bought him for 1,400 dollars. The price is a Little high and it burns a big hole in your wallet. it costs almost as much as a impulse without the eyes.
**NOW THE SPECS**
Considerable work has been carried out on the battery efficiency of the frame. The new sear release design not only uses less power, by incorporating a new solenoid coil and anti-stall action, but also operates the sear mechanism under even the heaviest loads (hardest main spring settings) down to much lower battery voltages.

Add to that the improved efficiency of the LCD display over the old LED display and it all adds up to vastly improved battery life.
Up front, the new cocking solenoid is now completely encased for better protection. The gasket is fully captured to prevent any blowout of the seal, and the hi-flow stainless barbs are now press-fitted into the new ìMinifoldî for an indestructible construction. Solenoid leaks, and solenoid shot damage are a thing of the past, as well as the flow optimised manifold and barbs further increasing cyclic performance.
Add new custom wrap-around grips, larger trigger guard, larger trigger magnet, improved trigger pivot point and trigger design, through-beam and reflective eye compatible (Reflective supplied as standard), improved menus, ROF indicator, and the E2 package is almost complete.
But with the new Patent Applied for TT has the ability to completely remove every trace of bounce that has so far plagued the cocker due to its heavy moving cocking mass. And it does it without placing any limit on the guns rate of fire, it doesn't slow the gun down, and it doesnít stutter and stall. Regardless of the new trigger design, the TT filtering allows the E2 to rip like no other electro cocker before it.
Conclusion:
overall it was a definite good buy once your fingers touch the trigger and pull it for that first time WOW it it sweet. BUY it.
