HASBRO’S TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS COLLABORATIVE: ECTOTRON (ECTO 1 FROM GHOSTBUSTERS)
Transformers: More than meets the *I ain’t afraid of no Ghosts!*
“Discover how these worlds collide in this Transformers-Ghostbusters mash-up pack! The iconic Ecto-1 Cadillac from the 1984 Ghostbusters movie is now a Transformers robot -- a converting Paranormal Investigator, called Ectotron!” - Hasbro
Last year, Hasbro revealed their first collaborative Transformer robot, with Ghostbuster’s Ecto 1 turning into Ectotron. Since then, they have announced another robot that would take the shape of the Delorean from Back to the Future, called Gigawatt, along with the plane from Top Gun, transforming into Maverick.
ToyFarce announced a few of the other figures that were leaked in a previous article ( https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/07/more-transformers-collaborative-figures.html ).
The packaging has that classic original look from the past, which is a great touch.
The Ecto-1 is very well made, and could easily pass as standard Ghostbusters merch, to an untrained eye. The Slimer figure that come with it is surprisingly detailed, in a creepy way.
Then, after a 22-steps (!) transformation, Ectotron is revealed!
Ectotron has a very serious face, for… some reason. The beige color reminds us of the Ghostbusters jumpsuits, and the ‘Ectotron’ nametag is a fun addition.
He comes with his very own proton pack and neutrona wand, and is ready to bust some ghosts!
Transformers… Robots with backpaaacks!
“It’s right here, Ray. It’s looking at me…”
As a first Transformers Collaborative robot, it is a fun robot. He could definitely have had a more friendly face, or even a scared expression, anything else, really. The Back to the Future one sold out in minutes, and a second release was already planned. Let’s hope we can all get our hands on that one, too!
More news at 11:00… and busting makes us feel good!
PS: Those pictures were taken over a year ago, but I was looking for something halloween related… I have more spooky stuff on the way, but the post system being a complete mess, everything has been delayed. Just so you know!
