I couldn't help myself. Turning the sensor equipment at the top of the Ecto-1 into the proton pack and neutrino wand was a clever idea.
What figure are they borrowing the general layout from? I can't quite tell.

See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?

What a fun idea for a Transformer. We need more franchise crossovers. I'd love a 60s Batmobile Transformer myself.

He appears to be getting G1 style packaging. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I like seeing only genuine figures from that era in that packaging. On the other hand, it does look good, and I like the green slime dripping from the character in the box art!

Can't say I wouldn't love that! How about an '89 Batwing?andersonh1 wrote:What a fun idea for a Transformer. We need more franchise crossovers. I'd love a 60s Batmobile Transformer myself.
They're both 35 years old, so why not harken back? I would have liked a little more Ghostbusters feel to the front, but the techspec has fields just for busting ghosts.andersonh1 wrote:He appears to be getting G1 style packaging.
