- Slimer is a Class 5 Full Roaming Vapor from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Slimer is a really hungry ghost that causes trouble for the Ghostbusters.
Fiction
Transformers/Ghostbusters
Toys
Collaborative
- Ectotron (2019)
- A translucent soft-plastic figurine of Slimer is included with the Transformers Collaborative Ectotron toy.
- He has a small 3mm peg-hole on his underside, which means he can be (awkwardly) attached to the end of Ectotron's neutrino wand accessory. This make him compatible with the Siege series "blast effect" pegs, if you're into that. Of course, his being soft-plastic means he's flexible enough to fit on slightly thicker pegs, but maybe you don't want to press your luck.
- Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition (Masterpiece, 2019)
- An opaque, painted redeco of the above Slimer figurine is included with Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition. He retains his "blast effect" capabilities.
Notes
- Though he debuted in, and was an iconic part of, the original Ghostbusters movie, Slimer was only named such in the cartoon series The Real Ghostbusters. As such, he has never been referred to as "Slimer" on-panel in IDW's Ghostbusters comics, which follow the continuity of the films — though the Tobin's Spirit Guide reference book, generally written by Erik Burnham to align with IDW continuity, did use the name and gave an origin for it, Slimer has otherwise only been known as "the green ghost" or "the Sedgewick ghost" (and briefly "Kevin Jr.") in the comics.
- Slimer was previously voiced by Frank Welker in The Real Ghostbusters and Troy Baker in Ghostbusters: The Video Game.
