We’ve got another great new gallery to share with you – a look at the second of the two Million Publishing Generations 2014 mail-in exclusives. Yes folks, this time we are taking a look at the Million Publishing exclusive Generations Goshooter!
Goshooter, or Go Shuta, was a human ally of the Autobots in the 1988 Japanese series Masterforce, and the son of the late Professor Go who was slain by the Decepticons early in the series. Taken in by the Autobot Pretenders, Shuta was eventually given the ability to become a Headmaster, and a patrol car to merge with to form his Transformer body, Goshooter!
Generations Goshooter is not a Headmaster – rather, he is an excellently executed redeco of Generations Nightbeart, the winner of a poll of ten possible redecos for the second Generations 2014 exclusive. Other than the lack of a lightbar, Goshooter looks exactly as he should compared to his Generation 1 counterpart, right down to the police badges on his car doors and hood. In lieu of a Headmaster, his partner Go Shuta is represented as a Targetmaster partner – a redeco of Blazemaster, who was included with the 2013 Legends Bumblebee figure. Go Shuta is equally well done, with a great deco that gives him a show accurate look – plus the gun really works on Goshooter. Overall, this is one of my favorite exclusive redecos to have come out over the last few years, and also my favorite version of this mold.

Now all we need is a Cab/Hosehead repaint from that oh so reused Generations Inferno mould and a proper Minerva repaint from a decent CHUGCWs.. mould and we're set! Im thinking a heavily retooled Generations Arcee guys… whaddya think?

Agreed. I'm loving the stickers on this.
Autovolt 127
I remember thinking that too at first.

Your not paying for the tampos/deco, you're paying for the exclusivity of the item itself.

A beautiful gallery Sol Fury!!!

"nightbeart" Typo…..

Looks decent, but no Headmaster = no interest for me.

This guy looks really good – any chance you guys can do a few shots of him next to Million's Artfire? I've got a feeling they'd be a great pairing on the shelf.

Wow this guy looks awesome. Very nice.

Probably my favorite incarnation of this mold. Never much cared for this mold, but it has grown on my the more times I have purchased it. Seems like they almost got better the more shots they had at repainting/tooling it.
Automorpher
Its a decent release back then…
However, I'll look up to the upcoming TR version of Nightbeat, which may lead us to a true Go Shuta that's a Headmaster. (If we're getting a full figure & not just a head instead)

Woah. Whatda great set of pictures on this guy.

As beautiful as the deco is, I can't justify that price. The most I can justify for a deluxe is around $65. This is ridiculous.
(Yeah, I know he's a premium exclusive but no)

I do really like this use of the mold. If I were ever to get him (unlikely, given his relative rarity and pricing) I'd also have to spring for a Goldfire just to take apart the door assembly and swap that incongruous powder blue for black. Even the original GoShooter dark blue would look better.

I wonder how much detailed tampos cost. If they're so expensive, why not make it a sticker sheet? TT cheaped out and made their Prime figures stickered.
Hot Shot.
I saw this from the forum index and thought we were getting a Target exclusive Masterforce giftset. Granted, I've never seen Masterforce so the reference didn't click.

Looks great don't like the blue door hinge thing its weird that it was unpainted but whatever also in the comic Hes in he uses the trainbot exclusive fogure (forgot the name I can never remenber any of the trainbots names same with dinoking) in his gun form at one point in the comic I believe I saw an image of something close of that and metroplex was in the background too

This guy looks great. It's a shame that in order to get detailed tampos I have to drop $100. Its more than a little insulting. Cost of retooling? For what this figure is going for I would expect it to have a light bar. That being said, he'd look fantastic with the rest of my police TFs, but I'm not gonna grab my ankles just go have him.
