New Image of Million Publishing / Hero-X Exclusive GoShooter

GoShooter with Gō Shūta... Well played.

I should note that to all the Japanophiles is that while the Transformer name uses Katakana (ゴーシューター Gōshūtā) the human as a native Japanese uses regular Kanji (剛 秀太 Gō Shūta).

I thought you knew he was coming with Shuta.

Just that he came with a Mini-Con.

No, he's a previously unknown Gobot. OK I was joking. Read the previous posts, Sabrblade has explained it already, so I'm not gonna repeat it

It's not the one I wanted most out of that poll, but I'll get him and place him beside Metalhawk.

A very nice figure, but i don't care about the ugly targetmaster wannabee or the "aqua" guns this mold comes with. Hopefully it will have a normal gun that you can hide somewhere. What they really should have done is actually make him a new mold and a headmaster.

I'll do JelZe to favor of say, yes, he is a G1 character, and a well done one at that.

Goshooter, better known as Shuta Go, was one of the Autobot Headmaster Juniors from the Japanese Super-God Masterforce cartoon. His toy was a redeco of the G1 Siren toy.



However, don't let that video clip fool you. Though he looks to be a mere human merging with a lifeless Transformer body when he transforms into robot mode in this video, the end of the series had all of the human-bonded TFs gaining their own life and separating from the humans completely, no longer needing them anymore.

This new toy of Goshooter represents the fully-living robot version of him after that series, so there's no need to worry about some human boding with him to give him life. But, the little Targetmaster this toy comes with is meant to be that same human, by now grown up into an adult, likely wearing a Targetmaster exosuit like those we saw the G1 Targetmasters wearing in the three-part G1 cartoon episode "The Rebirth".


Though, you did previously make this post in this topic, so this news about Goshooter shouldn't be new to you.

There's something in one of the bios about either Goshooter or Shuta being a "Godmaster Junior", but it's difficult for me to make out as it sounds like the smaller helicopter figure is the Godmaster Junor Transtector instead of the larger Deluxe figure (which would make more sense than the smaller figure, but it sounds like it is referring to the smaller figure, hence the confusion here).

Still can't believe this utter nobody Go-Shooter was elected rather than Alpha Trion. So pissed at that.

And we don't go BS crazy when an obscure character like Scoop gets a new toy?

The more I look at this, the more I wish this mold had become Barricade instead of BH Smokescreen.
