Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Based on the fact that like the Godmaster ones, the Headmaster Jr. Transtectors gained proper life after Masterforce? I mean, Minerva and God Ginrai appeared in Victory as proper Transformers, not as, shall we say, human-controled mechs.

Yup.

I know Goshooter (ugh that name) has his fans, but I am disappointed.
I have been into transformers since 1984. While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters. I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs. It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise. TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy

yeah sure if you say so, and Elvis didn't do no drugs .
Hmm, so Elvis did do "no drugs"?
In all seriousness, at the end of the Masterforce cartoon, every "-master" type Transformer became fully living beings that no longer relied on their toy gimmicks to transform or be alive, save for Hydra and Buster who were a different case.
It's a turn of phrase from Penn & Teller
Anyhow look, just because the cartoon said they becamereal boys, doesn't mean that we don't primarily associate them as (insert)masters. Here's an analogy, Later in their career, A-Ha did a heartfelt emotional cover crying in the rain, but that doesn't matter, all we'll remember them for is take on me. Goshooter = Headmaster, A-ha = Take on Me
Motto:"The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
Just remember, for every guy saying "Goshooter should be a Headmaster", there's another saying "Goshooter is no longer one, the story he's in takes place after Masterforce when the Transtector became alive and went into space to fight evil and such, while the boy who was his head stayed on Earth"

And here I thought Goshooter sounded stupid... 'Shuta' takes the cake!
But they both practically sound the same... "Shūta" just sounds more... Japanese.

Go was his family name. So Go, Shuta is most appropriate. What Shuta means........well.......
i honestly thought the choices were pretty meh. alpha trion was the winner to me, but theyve done enough with that mold already and ive got the original botcon A3. personally id have been happier with a black drift, as unimaginative as that would have been.
not only do i have no idea who goshooter is, but that IDW BB mold is the weakest modern mold i can think of.

GoShooter is Shuta one of the Headmaster Jrs. from Masterforce.
IDW BB needs a tune up but that little head remolded will not get the transformable treatment. Millionth Publishing best offerings have been Stepper and Artfire.

Wait... Alpha Trion didn't win? Heresy, I say!
In all seriousness though, I'm really surprised Alpha Trion didn't get it.
On a related note, will the other choices be something that can be churned out at a later date, i.e Takara decides to mass-produce and release to mass-retail the Fallen?

Source? I haven't seen anything that says that if Brainstorm sells (which I'm 99.99999999% sure that he will smash through expectations and make more money than they thought he would) that they'd consider making another Headmaster or -master based character.
They call me “Tanker Chungus”!

well, i meant i didnt know anything about goshooter until everyone started talking about him in this thread.

"Shuta Go", yeah. The name "Goshooter" comes from writing his full name in the Japanese format of "Last Name, First Name". "Go Shuta" = "Goshooter".
And for those wondering why he would even have a first and last name, well, he began his life as a human preteen:

Oh, he most definitely will come with some sort of Micron/Mini-Con, be it a Power Core Combiner Mini-Con mold (which I'm betting on) or an Arms Micron mold.
All ten of these guys were to come with a Mini-Con/Micron of some sort. Well, Alpha Trion would have gotten a companion made from a non-Micron mold: Vector Sigma redecoed from the Beast Wars Eggbot mold.
Mindmaster wrote:Wait... Alpha Trion didn't win? Heresy, I say!
In all seriousness though, I'm really surprised Alpha Trion didn't get it.
To me, the Alpha Trion redeco looks less like Alpha Trion and more like Scourge cosplaying as Alpha Trion, as that headsculpt is very very Scourgey no matter what color it's in.

I get the feeling that we'll probably have to rely on future Million Publishing Generations books to get all ten of these figures made real.

How come I always find out about these polls' RESULTS, but never the actual polls when there's still time to vote on them?
And why did both Alpha Trion and Beast Wars Silverbolt have to lose to some bot I never heard of?
PLEASE contact me if you have any of the following, or know where I can find them: [list] [*]Cybertron Leader Class Optimus Prime's wings [*]RTS Deluxe Optimus Prime's sword [*]Cybertron Voyager Vector Prime's sword

You wouldn't of been able to vote anyway, if I recall correctly it was only open to residents of Japan. Hence why a Japanese only character (for a while at least) won it.

Yeah you could vote with purchases for Shouki & Daniel. You'd write in the name of the figure you wanted to vote for. So it was limited to people in Japan (as you need a Japanese address), who purchased the Generations book, who purchased Shouki & Daniel.
I had a friend vote for me. Also limiting it to the people who purchased Shouki assured that they're limiting it to the population that is most likely to buy these exclusives in the first place, as they've already spent the money on the book and are committing to buying Shouki.

I don't know much about Diaclone from a Japanese perspective, but it looks like the fan club is correct, a Diaclone colored set of exclusives may not be like printing money... police sunstreaker got a very tiny percentage of the vote... Even less than a Fallen repaint on a cruddy mold...
Or maybe people dislike the sideswipe/sunstreaker mold more than I know. I remember all of the hoots and gasps when that mold was initially shown in slides at Botcon.
I like GoShooter as a choice. I don't love it. Even if I can get over that he's not a headmaster, Siren in IDW is not either that we know of, and with the info shared by others of him no longer being an HM anyway, but it's not an AWESOME choice. Please throw Magnificus into the category of Million Publishing home runs (I believe he was by Million, as was the cool black/grey/clear Mirage). Artfire was a great choice, but QC really caused that one to be less well thought of... I think.
