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.

First I've seen it, really want it, looks like it's out of stock. UGH. This would have been awesome for mass release.

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

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.

They're getting factory seconds from overseas sellers.

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!

Theyve done dead Movie Optimus but nothing from Dark Awakening yet.frogbat wrote: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...

Still, THAT one seem original enough to be worth getting.
The only questions is now how much and where to buy.

It looks like the walls/shelves are going pinch Ectotron. Hopefully the Ecto-35 will removed those.Scramjet wrote:AND ECTOTRON CAN FIT!!
How rad would it be to roll up with Prime, have Ectotrom pop out, then both transform and start feeling good, bustin'!

There, that's better.

edit: Also hoping there will be a variant with the yellow/black striping around his waist like in the promo pic. If so it will be a must buy

They are not close at all. One is voyager, one is leader

I think the real question is about the scale. If the Ecto1 can basically enter Opimu's trailer, like the MP cars, then both are in scale with one another and will look GREAT togheter.

He’s a CHUG figure. His robot mode looks to scale with Siege figures based on the comic art.
But his vehicle mode is a large Voyager, which scales with MPs
On top of this, we don’t know what scale Optimus’ Ectotron form will be in the comics. Although he doesn’t look to be leader sized.
But the comics seem to be using Siege Chromia as Gozer’s Herald and the storyline of the comics go out of their way to give us a Ghost Tetrajet Starscream which would suggest a Siege Redeco.
The comics are using Sunbow character models but appear to have created a Sunbow splinter continuity where the Ark left for earth and Megatron and the Nemesis opted not to follow them.
As to why IDW would do that, I’m thinking they wanted Ectotron and Optimus to have earth modes like the toy and Decepticons to retain Cybertronian molds possibly for unannounced toys.

Pretty sure the original question had the idea in mind of these two toys being 2 Ghostbusters on a shelf, so ideally being the same size. But they wont be, this is more like TFs with the ghostbusters theme and linking to the comic.

Of course, they are not meant as "Crossover" characters like those from the Star Wars and Marvel Crossover lines. As proper Transformers with a Ghostbuster theme, this work especially well.

The older voyagers (assuming Ectotron doesn't stand taller than his "mold mates") should scale decently with MP-10. Curious of the alt mode fits completely in the trailer with it closed up... I don't think the inner walls of the trailer are removeable/foldable are they?
