Our next Transformers gallery update is a toy who topped many favorite of 2016 lists. It’s the one and only, Triggerhappy!
Triggerhappy deserves his fame for good reason. First, he’s an excellent likeness of the original toy, right down to the arm transformation and the double-barreled lasers that make him look like something out of a 1980s shoot-em-up arcade game. Second, he has a clever transformation – dare we saw, the cleverest in the line until Topspin came along? Third, the robot mode looks every bit as excellent as the spaceship mode, with the added bonus of a full range of poseability. The great thing is, the robot mode is remarkably clean with a minimum of leftover vehicle parts, and there is little to get in the way of the poseability.
Triggerhappy is very much one of the best examples of what Hasbro is capable of doing with the Transformers in the current day. Check out his gallery to see why we’re being so positive about him.

Triggerhappy is one of those obscure Transformers characters that I thought would never get a modern toy. It's great to finally get a modern toy of Triggerhappy, especially when it's this good. Triggerhappy is by far one of the best toys in Titans Return. I hope Misfire and Slugslinger will be just as good.

Great gallery for a great toy – I can't wait to get mine later this year.
I can see why, the blue looks to be more vibrant on the Hasbro version (judging from these pictures against the official ones from TT at least) and I do kinda prefer the yellow eyes on the blue face as opposed to Takara's red eyes on the gold face.
I will still go for the Takara version as it makes more sense for me but I can't blame anyone who doesn't need the Blowpipe Targetmaster and can just buy a Hasbro Triggerhappy for like 15-20 bucks in a nearby store.
You’re still getting a fantastic toy that is properly painted.

I love X-Wing mold. I would like to see TF crossover.

I don't know where you live but Wave 4 just started popping up in my area and there's still some leftovers from wave 3. You still have a chance, pal.

I\'m pretty sure Triggerhappy had the rotating chest transformation before Topspin. Great gallery though!
Magneon Sentinel
I\'m starting to regret not picking him up when I had the chance. Still, excellent gallery for a line of toys that keeps impressing me.

"he has a clever transformation – dare we saw, the cleverest in the line until Topspin came along?"
I don't think Topspin has a more clever transformation than Triggerhappy. Topspin is a great figure, the 2nd best in the line but his transformation is a little more straightforward.

Triggerhappy is easily my favorite thus far. Cant wait for misfire, slugslinger and topspin!
Its weird but I actually Hasbro's version to the Taktom version, even though its got the targetmaster.

Last year's toy of the year for many of us, and I'm still pretty pumped for him, so, enjoy!
