According to someone who says that they worked for Hasbro some time ago, there were some really early plans (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generations-classics-44/cancelled-universe-g2-megatron-and-triggerhappy-concept-art-182123/) to redo Deluxe Universe Cyclonus toy as Triggerhappy (with new head), and Deluxe Universe Galvatron as Gen2 Megatron (with new head).

These ideas didn't get beyond the first stage of a mere concept drawing of the new heads superimposed over a photo of the toy, so don't expect there to be any lost moulds out there.
This is more just a "what if" that might tease a few fans out there.

Triggerhappy would've been really cool! Megatron though, I would've passed on as I wasn't a huge fan of the mould.

I think most of us would have had a similar reaction to the Galvatron mold, I really don't think the cyclonus could have been repurposed without at least different wings, that mold was so distinct in both modes. it would look like Cyclonus with a new head.

Didn't really miss out on anything there. I want my Marauder Megatron (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megatron_%28Animated%29#Marauder) :cool: :(

I never knew about that, now I want one too:(
that head mold design is reminiscent of Shredder

I think the FOC seeker mold would've been good for a CHUG triggerhappy. this seems like a nice idea though.

Decent, but not that good. For the mould available at the time, they're alright.
