It's the 35th anniversary of both Ghostbusters & Transformers, & they've joined forces to make an Ecto-1 Transformer!

I want to get this. Since I love G1 Transformers and Ghostbusters... guess which decade I was a kid in...
But f***ing living in Australia man. Not listed on Amazon. And all the EBay listings are over aus$100. Sucks being a collector here.

I'm surprised they haven't done more famous cars from other franchises as Transformers.

I'm surprised they haven't done more famous cars from other franchises as Transformers. They did that tie in with Star Wars.. pre Disney. But they had Star Wars characters change into ships associated with that character.. Luke Skywalker into X-Wing, Han & Chewie combining into the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader into his curved winged Tie Fighter or a larger version where he transforms into the Death Star. But they did not create characters to transform into the Star Wars vehicles.

There's been a DeLorean transformer since the late 80s, Swindler. tfwiki.net/wiki/SwindlerFitting name, given how DeLorean ended up. They haven't done show licensed cars before because of the costs of licensing being added onto the costs of creating a limited run transformer they can't repaint and reuse. The parts count of even a basic transformer is higher than most figures at a comparable retail price so they'd be expensive for the size... However, the retail landscape has changed drastically, fans have proven they will spend more on exclusives so hasbro are more willing to try things.

Hope they make one of the Family Truckster from Vacation.
They could do a redeco of Ectotron since the vehicles are almost the same shape.
Trying think of a name: MegaTruckster?

They did a bunch of GI Joe ones about 5 years ago - the HISS tank, Sky Striker, VAMP jeep, Rattler and 1 or 2 others that I can't readily id at the moment. But that was an easy crossover since it was all Hasbro properties.
