I wonder how much of a role Hyper played in cancelling the Edge variants of the Kronos and Helios as I was curious about how well the holster and drum respectively would have worked. At the time, I assumed it had entirely to do with corporate bean counting and were ditched in favor of selling more vanilla RIVAL variants without these new accessories, but with what we know about Hyper so far, I'm starting to think those cancellations were meant to start winding down RIVAL so Hyper could potentially take its place.

I have similar thoughts about Elite 2.0 vs. the cancelling of the Ghost Ops Stability Kit and the evident repurposing of the Hammerstorm for Alpha Strike.
