![]() One shows a ghost trap and the other shows the Ghostbusters logo. There are also two Ghostbusters specific icons. statistics, there are icons used now (which gets around the problematic use of the term "firepower"). However, instead of "Strength, Intelligence." etc. Ectotron also has a tech spec, styled after the G1 character files. The trip down memory lane continues on the back of the box, featuring the beautiful package art from 1984. The sides of the box feature the figure in both modes along with the Ghostbusters logo. Next to that is the "Collaborative" logo for the Ghostbusters/ Transformers crossover. Taking another cue from G1 packaging, there is text saying that the figure "Converts from Ecto-1 to robot and back!". On the top of the box you see Ectotron changing from vehicle to robot mode in a (very generalized) 5 step transformation. To the left of that is the 8+ age recommendation and the classic 80's Hasbro logo. The bottom has a black and yellow bar with "Ectotron" and "Ecto-1" printed in them. There is artwork of the robot mode off to the right against a grid background with red and yellow colors. ![]() In terms of graphics, there is beautiful retro goodness here. ![]() At the very end, the "S" has some slime on it (presumably from Slimer, who comes with the figure). On the top is a large flap with the 80's Transformers logo printed on it. The shape of the box is rectangular, with a window allowing you to see the figure inside (in vehicle mode to boot!). If you're going to release a figure that celebrates the 80's, then the only packaging that is appropriate for such a figure is retro- Transformers packaging! Similar to the "Vintage G1" reissues currently at Walmart, this packaging uses graphics and even a box design right out of the 80's G1 toy line. A Ghostbusters themed Optimus Prime is due out at SDCC 2019 to go along with this figure. Hasbro is also using this to launch the new "Collaborative" line of Transformers figures. ![]() 2019 is the 35th Anniversary of both Transformers and Ghostbusters, making the two the perfect subjects to mash up in a crossover celebrating both brands.
