Hell, this can be backed up by the fact that so far, we have not been shown any Takara takes on TR figures that were target/powermasters turned into headmasters.
"But wait, most beautiful supreme goddess Kurona!" I hear you cry, if greatly paraphrased and peppered with compliments in my head. "They've shown Scourge and Blurr who are still headmasters and not targetmasters!"
This is true. However... Blurr, Hot Rod, Kup, Cyclonus and Scourge were only rereleased and retooled as Targetmasters in 1987 by Hasbro. In Japan, they were not. So from the perspective of Takara, this is not changing Targetmasters into Headmasters - just changing characters with no notable gimmicks originally into Headmasters, like Galvatron and Astrotrain.
Therefore, the possibility remains open that Triggerhappy and all the rest could be given their Targetmaster status and such back with the Headmaster gimmick omitted. At the very least, it remains very possible for Ginrai - especially given the extent of his retool and given we had comments on the smaller Ginrai figure apparently being altered.

While this is a valid stance, the fact that of those 6 targetmaster characters we only know of Triggerhappy, to my recollection, being done by hasbro at the moment. So there is only 1 figure that fits your hypothesis for now.
While I'm not discounting for statement, you are painting it with a rather broad brush
Aye, that's fair enough - though we also do know we're getting Getaway (originally a Powermaster) and there's rumours of Quake (originally a Targetmaster), as remolds of Chromedome and Hardhead respectively.
I guess I was saying it that way just to keep it a bit more open in case they expand beyond Triggerhappy and Ginrai, haha. That said, there is also the fact that Triggerhappy being a headmaster could be integral to his transformation; we don't know yet. We know from Magnus that being a headmaster isn't integral to Ginrai so he's fair game.
That said, it's just a possibility. If you're holding your breath over the idea he might become a powermaster, uh, probably don't do that. Could go either way, I just said what I did because we know they're doing an extensive remold already and there isn't exactly precedence for the
specific situation of Ginrai, Triggerhappy and whoever Quake and Getaway became in Japan.
Also keep in mind that the only other Masterforce stuff they've shown so far are Headmasters, but they were Headmasters originally anywho. Still holding out for that Minerva though.
You've taught me something quite interesting!
