Seibertron member TrypticonCarne has linked us up to a Youtube video of newly revealed Generations Collaborative: Ghostbusters Ectotron's cameo in the TV show Goldbergs episode, "There Can Be Only One Highlander Club". Despite the glaring error of being 3 decades out of time, its an interesting plug for a sub-line toy like Ectotron and it gives us a good chance at seeing the actual scale of the toy. The video is viewable below, but can also be found on Ian Jone's Youtube.
You can view his reveal from our NY Toy Fair coverage here.
Has seeing this toy “in hand” (quite literally) pumped you up for is release or has the size put you off? Let us know what your thoughts are on this figure here at the Energon Pub on Seibertron.com!

eh, just as fake as everything else that tries to be 80s and retro I suppose. Not sure how they got one that early (meaning now before the release date, not 30 years ago as portrayed in the clip 
) or why not just use an actual G1 toy? Maybe I'm missing the point of the video. I dunno.

The only time I could see a slip up like using a new toy working is if they do a Back To The Future Deloran Transformer...

I'm still just so happy this is a thing. It has me so filled with joy, and it's got the Ghostbusters theme running through my head now!
ya know, now I really want him to fit in the MP-10 Trailer so he can go with the MP-10/Ghostbusters crossover MP coming later this year

Huh. The bio even teasingly mentions the fact he's a Hotspot remould. That's kind of clever.
I also want to extend my congratulations to Johnny216, who designed this character based on Cybertron Red Alert way back in 2005:
As thrilled as I am to see this (I never did end up making a custom based on Johnny's art), I really don't like the black knees and excess amount of white on Ectotron. The 'Busters don't wear kneepads, only elbowpads (and they're grey, no less), and if they just wanted to evoke the white military belt of the 'Busting suits, they could've just painted Ectotron's belt area in white.
Also, anyone seen the robot mode's pack? He's supposed to have some kind of Proton Pack accessory, but it just looks like the rooftop equipment rack ends up there. Has it been sculpted to have a cyclotron, or do they mean he just comes with a neutrona wand?

But the point isn't for Transformers product placement, it's for this specific figure. Then they can turn around and when this figure shows up at Gamestop they can advertise it as "as seen on the Goldbergs!" if they choose. And really, any transformer could have been used, but using one that came totally out of left field like Ectotron is something that will get people searching for info, a figure people have seen a million times isn't going to do that. They may not know if it's real, but they're definitely going to want to see for themselves. It's good advertising for the whole franchise.

The show itself is a deliberately anachronistic 1980s.
They addressed the Death of Optimus Prime in 1986 4 years ago and it’s not set in the 90s now.
In fact — and I’m not even a close follower of the show — I’m pretty sure that they cited deliberate anachronism as part of the show early on. They’ve referenced 80s events out of sequence, apparently intentionally. They’ve both indicated a desire to troll people about period accuracy and said that the show could go on for any length of time and still be set in the 80s.
A child could be conceived at the Ghostbusters premiere, grow up to watch Caddyshack in college, and die an old man at the premiere of Back to the Future.
It’s a fantasy universe where, effectively, it’s always been the 80s, will always be the 80s, things happen out of sequence, modern 80s nostalgia products (including t-shirts and toys) show up.
I don’t think this is sloppy. I do think it’s deliberate trolling on about three levels.

Why wait until Gamestop, they're doing it right on the front page of Pulse.
And yeah, it's back up for pre-order, but at the Gamestop price of $49.99.

The price of this guy has been all over the place. On monday, Gamestop had pre-order prices down to $37.49 before rising back up today when Pulse put pre-orders back up. I think I'm gonna keep my Gamestop pre-order honestly, never used them before, but there's a first time for everything

Thanks to YellaWolf Studios Product Photography, we have a bunch of new in-hand images of the upcoming Transformers x Ghostbusters exclusive Ectotron figure! Ectotron is a brand new character that transforms into Ecto-1, the classic Ghostbusters car of choice. He has engineering inspired by the Combiner Wars Hot Spot mold, though he has a bunch of unique tricks and parts to his toy.
He features a Proton Pack like back with the equipment from the top of the Ecto-1 car mode, and he also includes an awesome green Slimer figure to go with him. He is currently up for pre-order at Hasbro Pulse for $49.99, and is due out at the end of July.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Ectotron looks great in both modes. Based on a good mold, good recreation of Ecto-1 in car mode and appropriate accessory! If I can find him in Canada I'll be very tempted to get them at MSRP. Not gonna have another chance for a TFxGB crossover toy at this quality (looking at you MP10 redeco).

Video review from Optibotimus:
Fascinating to see he shares engineering with CW Voyager Hotspot. Had they gone the combiner route, they could have used Ecto 2 & 3 form the Real Ghostbusters animated series, and Ecto 4 & 5 from the comics.

This was something teased last September with plans to come out this year, but we haven't had any images of it yet.
I'm wondering if that is a real image of MP-10, considering that pricepoint is nowhere near what an MP-10 mold figure should cost. I'm hoping it's real and not a KO false listing or digibash of some sort

There is a lot of Ghostbusters crossover news this week. Firstly we have a video review from Tonton for Ectotron. Many fans sent us this info, the first was
Powermaster Ultra Prime. You can now see if the toy is worth your time and money. Also, we have our possible first image of the MP10 Ghostbusters Optimus Prime. The image seems more like something done digitally than the real thing though the real question is if it is an image from an actual source or not. The listing is from TFs-Express and they are currently asking for a 50 pound deposit. This was the first site to list the reissue of MP09 Rodimus.
UPDATE: The image below is indeed a fan made digibash used as a stand in image for a real listing.

You can tell the Prime is a digibash, mostly from the legs. Not sure if they are just giving us an idea of the toy, or if it is fake, but that's certainly not the original colors when the photo was taken.

All I want want out of the comic series is for Optimus to say, in a serious voice, “I am not afraid of any supernatural beings.” Please.

it REALLY looks like those knees should be able to lock in place, just like onslaught and hotspot did. you remember, the weird double-bend-click-in deal they had.

I'd like to know how reviewers have guys like Ectotron and MPM Megs 3-5 months before their release

They're getting factory seconds from overseas sellers.

It's been a long wait, and some even thought it was a myth, but we could now have our first look at the Ghostbusters Transformers Collaborative MP-10 Optimus Prime figure! Photos come via the @TFCLUB Transformers Alliance on Weibo and a tip from fellow Seibertronian Jtprime17. The figure, called the "Ecto 35 Edition", is a white and black version of Optimus Prime with red details and green windows. He comes with a very elaborately decorated trailer that acts as a Ghostbusters advertisement. Most interesting off all is Roller now doubles as a Ghost Trap thanks to an added part, how cool is that? He also comes with a painted Slimer figure. It's hard to tell, but there might be a Proton Pack sitting on top of the trailer.
While we look forward to official confirmation this is hopefully a sign that we're getting closer to release. Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub forums below!

Incidentally his colors are quite similar to an old G2 knockoff.

Not to shabby... kinda works. The head kinda reminds me of dead prime from the movie. Got me thinking... have they ever done a dead or zombie prime from dark awakenings? Maybe a dawn of the dead crossover...

Shajaki be like: "Sigh... Here we go again." Then open his wallet.
Still, THAT one seem original enough to be worth getting.
The only questions is now how much and where to buy.

Now all we need is a green-hued clear plastic Starscream to pose as Slimer. Or a Marshmallow Unicron.

I like the trailer, and roller being a trap is clever, but it feels like not having the trailer be a giant ghost trap is a missed opportunity.
