    When CHUG figures were being released, sometimes the instructions would show a different head on the figure, like a "easter egg" foreshadowing a future remold. i.e. - Thunderwing showing the future remold into Black Shadow.

    I'm trying to remember how many were foreshadowed, but haven't actually been released?

    the only one I can remember was the Perceptor mold, which seemed to show a Reflector head? are there many others like that?

    Lugnut had an alternate head in his instructions,
    but there was no word on the future toy.

    Scourge (Ratbat or Liozack are the main guesses)
    Warpath (presumably Hardhead)


    Can't remember any more, off hand... though didn't Lugnut have an alternate head?

    DotM Laserbeak also had an alternate head that never got released.

    More recently, didn't PRID Ratchet's instructions have an alternate head in them, too?

    I think Kup had an alternate head, did that end up being Swerve?

    I think so. Don't have the instructions in front of me at the moment, but I vaguely recall the head looking similar to Swerve.

    Probably why so many people assumed Orion Pax was gonna be the headswap.

    The head ended up being used for GDO Swerve.

    Supposedly Hasbro themselves doesn't know who that head is for, they just cooked if up because they could.

    Chug is an acronym for
    Classics, Henkei, Universe, Generations
    Hope it helps!

    Warpath had one I think, apparently it was Hardhead or something.

    I'm sure he was being sarcastic, making fun of that stupid acronym.

    I disagree...I could get behind CHUGURTSFOCGDO. Although I'd probably go with CHUGURTSFOCGDO3P, myself...

    DOTM deluxe Soundwave's instructions showed a new head that looked like G1 Blaster's head.
