	* Also present in the parking lot of the travel plaza are a quintet of vehicles based on the Generation 1 [[Stunticon (G1)\|Stunticon]]s: a black tractor-trailer ([[Motormaster (G1)\|Motormaster]]), a yellow race car ([[Drag Strip (G1)\|Drag Strip]]), a black sports car ([[Wildrider (G1)\|Wildrider]]), a red coupe ([[Dead End (G1)\|Dead End]]), and a red and white car ([[Breakdown (G1)\|Breakdown]]).		* Also present in the parking lot of the travel plaza are a quintet of vehicles based on the Generation 1 [[Stunticon (G1)\|Stunticon]]s: a black tractor-trailer ([[Motormaster (G1)\|Motormaster]]), a yellow race car ([[Drag Strip (G1)\|Drag Strip]]), a black sports car ([[Wildrider (G1)\|Wildrider]]), a red coupe ([[Dead End (G1)\|Dead End]]), and a red and white car ([[Breakdown (G1)\|Breakdown]]).
			* The two punks who spray-paint Optimus are gender-swapped versions of characters from the Generation 1 episode "[[Auto-Bop]]"; the one with the purple mohawk is based on [[Furg]], while the one with the green hair is based on an unnamed member of Furg's gang, with the addition of a pair of visor shades.
	* Graffiti on Optimus Prime reads both "'84," referencing the debut year of both the ''Transformers'' and ''Ghostbusters'' franchises, and "HUMANƧ ARE WIMPƧ," the infamous message that the [[Battlecharger]]s spray-painted on the [[Statue of Liberty]] in [[Decepticon Graffiti!\|issue #23]] of the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|Marvel comic]].		* Graffiti on Optimus Prime reads both "'84," referencing the debut year of both the ''Transformers'' and ''Ghostbusters'' franchises, and "HUMANƧ ARE WIMPƧ," the infamous message that the [[Battlecharger]]s spray-painted on the [[Statue of Liberty]] in [[Decepticon Graffiti!\|issue #23]] of the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|Marvel comic]].

	In space, Optimus discusses the situation with both Grimlock and [[Wheeljack (G1)\|Wheeljack]]; Wheeljack is immediately skeptical of Ectotron's report of "Decepticon ghosts," and suggests that ''he'' be the one to head to [[Earth]] and investigate. Optimus politely declines, noting that part of being a leader is supporting your followers, and admits he himself is curious to see just ''what'' has Ectotron so worked up.

	In [[Brooklyn]], meanwhile, the Ghostbusters have arrived at their destination: an abandoned power plant. Egon detects high PKE readings, similar to those displayed by the [[~~Kremzeek (G1)\|~~Kremzeek]] entity during their encounter in [[Prospect Park]]. Remembering their last encounter with the ghost, the team sets about modifying their trap in order to better contain any potential electrostatic interference. Ectotron volunteers to assist, and though Peter is skeptical, it's [[Winston Zeddemore\|Winston]] who comes up with the plan: while he and Peter flush out the ghost, the other three will ready Ectotron's modified trap.

While he awaits Ectotron's return, the Autobot leader parks in a nearby alleyway for a rest cycle, unaware that he's been found by a pair of young hoodlums...
