Wait!!! What?!?!?
Who you gonna call?

That is RAD!

Well that's the hot spot retool I was not expecting.
Looks ok I guess, problem would be it being extremely back-heavy if that were not obvious already.

It also looks to have next to no heels, pity, it looks like a fun figure

Cool toy, sucks for Starscream's ghost though

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 9:41 am**

Cool idea, but looks pretty terrible tbh

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 9:41 am**

Pre-ordered! Hope this sets a precedent for a Marty Mcbot and a Meister Chief down the line

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 9:42 am**

This is just super dorky, and unlike Transformers and GI Joe crossovers this really cool. I'm not super into ghost busters, but I may purchase him. They made this work really well.

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 9:42 am**

Well that's a very random crossover. Can't say I like that robot mode too much but it's cute it has the gun and tube and such.

The Ecto-1 looks great though. Just not into the bot.

I pre-ordered the Fell out of this guy! Hope they do more in the future!

I'm not going mad- that's definitely Hot Spot under there, right?

I see what everyone is seeing to make one think it could be. Shapes, and transformation. But, I don't think it is.

Maybe more of a case of "shared engineering"? It's hard to say.

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 10:07 am**

Now that was truly unexpected.
I'd like it, but not if it's some sort of US exclusive that must be imported at high cost.

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 10:10 am**

this is actually pretty cool - not a super robot mode (and seems to use the CW engineering patterns). The alt mode though looks the part and I appreciate the robot mode is an original character. Didn't care for the other transformers where for example a TIE fighter would transform into Vader... rather than an original character or a TF character like Megatron.

Wow, I cannot escape buying this mould 4 times can I? :lol:

If it isn't an extreme retool, it definitely shares engineering.

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 10:20 am**

Oookay this came out of nowhere. I like the concept tho, and seeing that this gonna be a line, not just one-off, i am kinda worried, because while i can resist this just fine, i'm pretty sure there will be some down the line that will mess up my budget plan.

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 10:43 am**

Anyone else think that this guy has hurtful shoulders and an addiction to Jaam? Because I am totally getting the Hot Shot vibe from this. Car mode looks great, robot mode... not so great. Dunno, but it seems like a knockoff.

Also, the "Transformers Collaborative" signature means we can expect more crossovers?

I'd love a Back To The Future Transformer if that's true

It BEGINS....

The BTTF Delorean
KITT
The Mystery Machine
The A-Team van
The General Lee
Christine
Bill & Ted's Phone Booth
Green Goblin Truck from Maximum Overdrive

The BTTF Delorean and KITT are PRIORITIES. The rest would be nice to have. Would Christine make for a nice Shatter? :-?

I guess a Doctor Who TARDIS would maybe satisfy those nerds fans :lol:

Plenty of possibilities, but sadly, little chance of a Gundam crossover :-(

There are worse molds. Like... Most of them. Most of the moulds are worse. I have this mould six-times.

Kind of, but at this point does it really matter?

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 11:14 am**

Cool mash up. Kind of like the mash up I did. Which I’m surprised that it hasn’t been done since Hasbro now own Power Rangers.

HASBRO REVEALS TRANSFORMERS-GHOSTBUSTERS ECTO-1

COLLABORATIVE FIGURE AND IDW COMIC SERIES

'More than Meets the Eye' Collides with 'Who You Gonna Call?' for Transformers & Ghostbusters™ 35th Anniversaries

PAWTUCKET, RI – Feb. 15, 2019 – Autobots, Decepticons and ghosts?! Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) and Sony Pictures Consumer Products today revealed the first-ever TRANSFORMERS-Ghostbusters Collaborative figure, the ECTO-1 ECTOTRON, available at GameStop summer of 2019 and for pre-order starting February 15 at HasbroPulse.com, GameStop and EB Games Canada. This year marks the 35th anniversary of both the TRANSFORMERS brand & the original Ghostbusters film.

When fans of the iconic Ecto-1 from the 1984 Ghostbusters movie look a little closer at this nostalgic interpretation of the car, they will be treated with a new "robot in disguise" named ECTOTRON, a converting Paranormal Investigator. The figure is packed in a G1-inspired box featuring classic tech specs and comes with its own proton pack and Slimer accessory, and converts between two modes in 22 steps – a seven inch Ecto-1 vehicle and a TRANSFORMERS robot.

TRANSFORMERS robots have always been more than meets the eye, but now, through the TRANSFORMERS Collaborative, fans can experience these larger than life characters as they team-up, mash-up and meet up with other characters, teams and people. It is a world of constant change where things are not what they seem. A combined world of TRANSFORMERS and Ghostbusters where heroic Autobots, evil Decepticons and now ghosts can be discovered!

The Ghostbusters have a new, out of this world teammate and fans will be able to meet the all new TRANSFORMERS character ECTOTRON in his epic origin story by IDW Publishing. A brand new 5-part series from creative team Erik Burnham & Dan Schoening begins in June 2019.

The ECTO-1 ECTOTRON figure is available at GameStop starting Summer of 2019 and for pre-order starting February 15 at HasbroPulse.com, GameStop and EB Games Canada. And be on the lookout for other possible TRANSFORMERS and Ghostbusters items. When these two iconic franchises come together – anything is possible!
