    Default What could have been - Universe 2009 Triggerhappy & Megatron

    According to someone who says that they worked for Hasbro some time ago, there were some really early plans 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.

    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.
