New Gallery: Transformers Collaborative Universal Monsters Dracula x DRACULUS

Posted by Seibertron Oct 31, 2025 at 2:07pm CDT 7,762 views
Happy Halloween from Seibertron.com! Just in time for the spookiest night of the year, our latest addition to the Transformers Collaborative galleries sinks its fangs into the lineup with Draculus!

The ninth figure released in the Collaborative line, Draculus is a retool of Titans Return Mindwipe and transforms into a robotic bat. This mash-up brings Universal’s 1931 Dracula to life through a sculpt that specifically captures Bela Lugosi’s iconic portrayal of the Count. His robot mode features a sculpted tuxedo, a soft-goods cape, and a black-and-white deco inspired by the classic black-and-white film.

Draculus includes a blaster, his "Impaler Claw" weapon, and a removable cloth cape that can be worn in both robot and bat modes. His new head and torso replace the Headmaster-style transformation of the original toy, so his head stays attached during transformation. The cockpit from Mindwipe remains, but the interior is remolded and no longer fits a Titan Master figure. His weapons can still combine, and they can attach as a tail in bat mode when pegged into the 5mm port under his head.

In true Collaborative fashion, even the packaging gets a horror twist. The box is designed to look like a VHS tape, complete with a slide-out sleeve that reveals the figure and insert artwork styled after an old video release.

Draculus was released in late 2021 and remains a fan-favorite among crossover collectors. You can find listings for him currently on eBay.

Be sure to check out Frankentron and our other Transformers Collaborative galleries for more unexpected mash-ups where worlds collide.

Draculus is a nice collab. The head sculpt, the tux, the cape. All nice touches.

For some unknown reason it shelf warmed in Oz.

I still haven't gotten around to opening mine, and had no idea he could look that awesome loose. Great gallery!

Still, while I understand that leaving the Headmaster gimmick in would've posed too many questions that the X-over line didn't need, removing it seems like time, effort, and cost expended to de-mold a toy into something less awesome than it could've been (nowhere near as egregious as the de-limbification of Siege Chromia, but it still irks me). Because you could customize Titan-Masters with faces representing different actors that have played Dracula, unlocking limitless possibilities: Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Frank Langela (Shapeways has a Skeletor faceplate that could do double duty for him), hell, even a Count Floyd, to give him the vampire-howl ability!

Speaking of horror hosts, a Svengoolie fan even sent a Draculus in to his show, for a MeTV X-over!

Draculus was great. But WAY too pricy. They learned their lesson from Frankentron, but I worry that it didn't do well enough.

I think they shoulda left the Headmaster gimmick in there too. It has a coffin built in! Come on! It could have been literally Dracula!

I feel like there could have been a comparison with Convoybat. If Seibs has him. Could have had a fight scene with CB acting as Van Helsing. Technically, the early BW stuff is bioengeneering on the G1 OP and Megs so the lab setup could have been used for Crocodile Megatron and OP now that I think on it, but I don't remember if they made a new version of him to match.

They're back to bust some ghosts, Cybertron-style! Seibertron.com proudly unveils our latest Transformers Collaborative gallery - the 2021 edition of Ectotron, inspired by the Ghostbusters: Afterlife film!

The crossover between Cybertron and the supernatural continues with this redeco and slight retool of the original figure, now featuring a movie-inspired aged and rusted Ecto-1 design from Ghostbusters: Afterlife. This updated version gives the Autobot ghostbuster a more seasoned look with cracked Ghostbusters logos and plenty of paranormal wear and tear.

While the first Ectotron was released in 2019 as part of the debut Transformers Collaborative lineup, this later version adjusts several details to better reflect the on-screen vehicle. The car's roof ladder has been moved to the left side, and the robot mode debuts a new head sculpt with lowered goggles and a raised face shield. He still transforms into a licensed 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance, and his proton pack continues to form from the roof-mounted equipment. The figure also includes an unpainted translucent green Slimer figurine - identical to the one packed with the 2019 figure - and introduces a new ghostly partner, Muncher, molded in translucent blue plastic.

Ectotron was first offered as a Target exclusive in the United States, going up for preorder on November 13, 2020, before later appearing as a Toyworld exclusive in New Zealand. This release also includes a reprint of Transformers/Ghostbusters #1 and swaps the original boxed format for a blister card. Designed by Hasbro's John Warden, the 2021 Ectotron keeps the spirit of the Collaborative line alive by blending the technology of Transformers with the humor and hauntings of Ghostbusters.

You can explore the full Ectotron (2021) gallery, along with Muncher and Slimer. Fans can also revisit the original Ectotron (2019) release, still available on Amazon, or check out the SDCC 2019 exclusive MP-10G Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition and his premium-painted Slimer.

This gallery wraps up our Halloween weekend celebration of Transformers Collaborative releases, following Frankentron and Draculus. From ghost traps to proton packs, these spooky crossovers prove that even in the afterlife, there's still more than meets the eye.

In addition, I updated Gigawatt's gallery to include his iconic pose that I originally forgot to do as well as comparison pictures with G1 Swindler (the first Transformer with a DeLorean alt-mode ... I always thought it was a Fiero).
