Description
Shūta Gō begins as a human transformed into an Autobot warrior via advanced technology. After his father, Professor Gō, perishes during a Decepticon assault on their observatory, Metalhawk bestows Master-Braces and Transtectors upon Shūta and his friends. This grants them the power of Headmaster Juniors. Shūta adopts the codename "Go Shooter," merging his surname with his passion for soccer.
His Transtector transforms into a white Mazda RX-7 police car armed with a rifle and head guns. In robot mode, Shūta's head becomes the Transtector's head, though he lacks the flip-down chest panel of larger Headmasters. A spring-loaded Tech-Spec meter activates upon Shūta connecting to the Transtector's neck socket.
Initially impulsive and reckless, Shūta values justice and protecting innocents above combat. Early missions teach him restraint, exemplified when he rescues a baby from a fire rather than directly confronting Decepticon Headmaster Juniors. He forges close bonds with fellow Headmaster Juniors Cab and Minerva, sharing a friendly rivalry with Cab and mutual affection for Minerva. His soccer skills prove vital in battles, including using kicks against adversaries like Smokescreen.
Following Devil Z's defeat, the bond between humans and Transtectors severs. Shūta reverts to an ordinary human, while his Transtector gains independent sentience, retaining the name Goshooter. This autonomous Goshooter inherits Shūta's personality and soccer prowess, holding life sacred due to their shared history, and departs Earth to battle Decepticons in space.
In expanded media, Goshooter commands the Second Army in G Nebula 89, repelling attacks by Decepticons like Darkwing. He reunites with Shūta during conflicts involving The Fallen; Shūta, now utilizing an exosuit, partners with Goshooter to combat enemies. In one battle, Goshooter frees himself from energy spikes and kicks the Vector Sigma orb at The Fallen, later wielding a Raiden train-bazooka for a final strike.
Goshooter is considered for recruitment into Thunderclash's Wreckers team in the 2019 IDW continuity.
