Ask Vector Prime

When asked about the identities of Susan Hoffman's assistants, Bumblebee responded by playing a garbled clip of the Ghostbusters' theme song. What he meant by this is a mystery. Bee's Backtalk, 2015/10/09

But where's Tracy the Gorilla?

• Ectotron (July 8, 2019)
  • Accessories: Proton Pack, hose, Slimer figurine

The first figure announced for the Collaborative line, Ectotron turns into a General Motors licensed custom 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor, representing the Ecto-1. In robot mode, he features several design cues based on the Ghostbusters’ uniforms, including his own nametag and Proton Pack.

Ectotron shares several parts with the Combiner Wars Voyager Class Hot Spot/Onslaught mold, most evidently the upper arms and legs. He comes with a 5 mm-compatible particle thrower accessory, and a delicious-looking translucent figurine of Slimer.

Ectotron is packaged in a nostalgic Generation 1-styled box, much like the contemporaneous Vintage G1 line.

Announced in the run-up to Toy Fair 2019, preorders for Ectotron went up on Hasbro Pulse on February 15, 2019, before selling out within six hours. Ectotron will also be exclusive to GameStop in the United States, EB Games in Canada, and Zing and EB Games in Australia.

Notes

• The Ghostbusters have appeared as part of multiple IDW crossover events, including Infestation, in which an avatar of Britt stole some of Gozer's essence and created a zombie Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man; Mars Attacks, in which the Real Ghostbusters battled Martian ghosts; The X-Files: Conspiracy, in which they recaptured a ghost inadvertently released by the Lone Gunmen, and Deviations, which asks what would happen if they never crossed the streams. As no Transformers appear in these issues, TFWiki.net does not cover them in detail.
• Susan Hoffman's assistants in "Race with the Devil" are drawn to resemble Peter, Ray, and Egon, as they appeared in The Real Ghostbusters.
