    Robot mode actually looks really cool, but the altmode is a bit of a mess.

    That Astrotrain is actually really cool too, very clever colorscheme layout.

    Here's to hoping Reprolabels does a Siren conversion sticker set for go shooter.

    The robot mode works surprisingly well.

    GoShooter looks really nice, here. And a Targetmaster now? Kinda makes sense when you think about it (if Timelines Chromedome gets a Stylor this way, why not GoShooter?) I'm kinda tempted to get him now... Dangit.

    Shouki-from-Astrotrain with Daniel Witwicky Targetmaster is still looking kinda bizarre to me. A cool redeco, but strange nonetheless.

    Not bad, even if the Generations Bee mold is kinda subpar as far as engineering and articulation goes. Astrotrain/Trainbot looks nice but I really wish Takara or some 3P made an over-sized (Voyager) version of it so it could be displayed next to Generations Blitzwing.

    Shooter is looking good despite the mold.

    My exact reaction. I HATE the mold, but... I think I will buy this.

    Loving the mistransformation of the shoulders to make him GoShooter/Siren accurate. It really works for me. May have to that to the eventual Nightbeat as well.

    I don't understand why there is that random blue on front fender in car mode. I'm pretty sure that isn't a separate piece and should have been able to be molded in the car colors, or at least painted. Other than that, I think it looks great!

    OK, now I'm convinced and bought Hasbro Nightbeat. But I'm also keen for Go Shuta. Of course he will be Siren for me :D

    So he's a Targetmaster now?


    Could be worse I guess.

    The Astrotrain repaint is actually Thunder Arrow and his targetmaster is Skystalker.

    You do realize that he finished first in a poll of 10 different choices? People obviously care. Don't go talking out of your ass.
