So I'm not satisfied with this but I can't put my finger on it. Rip it apart!

I'd throw a dark band of reflection just under the big light diagonal stripe. It will make it look a bit more chromish. Dark areas directly under highlights kind of act as a hint to the eye that you're looking at something metallic. These metallic hints are hard to get right, fiddle with them a bit. Maybe look at some reference pictures of shiny objects to get a feel for how the dark blotches next to light reflections hint at metal texture. The end of the barrel could use a bit of foreshortening along the y axis to bring it into perspective. Same with the base of the barrel I think. The hatch in the chest is off center, but I don't know if that is intentional. Also he seems to gain an odd stray pixel in the mouth area when the gun fires. The peep sight on the end might benefit from being a bit smaller and less snowflake like. It's a good start though. ------------- http://www.shmup-dev.com/forum/">

| The ,,spikes'' from the laserbeam look kinda weird...a big round explosion...but when you wanna keep the spikes (because its a prefrence thing) then dont make them so thick and les poiting towards the front... |

Alright!
-Rounded the beam explosion. -Removed stray pixel. I'd throw a dark band of reflection just under the big light diagonal stripe. It will make it look a bit more chromish. Dark areas directly under highlights kind of act as a hint to the eye that you're looking at something metallic. These metallic hints are hard to get right, fiddle with them a bit. Maybe look at some reference pictures of shiny objects to get a feel for how the dark blotches next to light reflections hint at metal texture.
This is something I'll need to study as I don't get it at the moment. -moved and fixed the hatch. -Changed the perspective for the side, tried the y axis but it didn't look right. Before:

I can't tell what the arms are doing. Is it a thumbs up or does the toaster need to rub the gun for it to shoot?
It's also... really fast? |

It bothers me that the first two rings don't light up. If they're supposed to be a brace of some sort, they'd need to be a bit thicker, at least moving the shadow. Going with what TYB3N said, maybe you could also make more room for the hands. A few other points:
