Ok, first up, new head, which actually looks pretty sweet, being all silver with yellow eyes. Unfortunately not two tone like the promo pic suggested, but that's no big deal.
The rest of the figure is pretty much the same as the other releases of this mould, with one exception - the peg holes on the underside of his forearms actually grip his guns. About damn time.
Deco wise I think this is probably the best version of the mould I've seen, although the Takara Gold Bumblebee release is close. I don't have the Million Publishing Go Shooter to compare, but with the unpainted blue bits on his door kinda ruining the alt-mode, I'm giving the title to Carzap.
Definitely a great first release from this years TFSS, and had me looking forward to the next one.

PS, this contraption is totally useless for me. Kinda cool in concept, but I guess I'm just not a fan of Kreo, which feels like cheap Lego to me (though not as bad as Megablox). It is however, a pretty cool throwback to the cancelled Takara initiative...
