To the surprise of assistants and fans at Comic-Con Colombia, the Transformers X Ghostbusters MP-10 Optimus Prime and Masterpiece Movie MPM-08 Megatron On Display at the event.
Comic-Con Colombia is being held from May 31st to June 3rd in Corferias, Colombia. The display of Hasbro Colombia; also sponsored by Pepe Ganga stores; included the impressive MP-1GB Optimus Prime Ecto 35 Edition and Masterpieve Movie Megatron.
We hope this is a hint for these figures to hit Colombian stores in the future, or even other markets in South America. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Is it just me or they mistransformed Meg's wings again?

Does the Roller/Ghost Trap actually open?
Is the proton pack the same mold as the Ectrotron version? (Not the actual gun obviously but just the part that hooks onto the back of the figure and the hose.)
Where does that attach in vehicle mode? There's a square hole on the trailer that I imagine it would store in vehicle mode but I think it would be better on the cab itself. Maybe options for either one? Or do you just store it inside the trailer with Roller? Which I suppose you could do anyway if you don't like having that on top of the vehicle. I just wish there were actually pictures of the vehicle mode.
I'm a little surprised as I was expecting this to be nothing more than a basic repaint. Did not think Optimus would have his own Proton pack and ghost trap.
Would also really like to see Roller in hand with Ectrotron. He does have that handle on him now but wouldn't it be a little over sized to actually be held that way? Maybe it's not as big as I'm thinking and will look fine but since Ectrotron doesn't have his own ghost trap I'd really like to see him posed with Roller…
Also if the doors open someone really needs to take one of those clear translucent Ghost of Starscream toys and pose him standing over the open ghost trap with Optimus and Ectotron standing on either side pointing their Proton packs at them.
I'm not normally a big fan of effect parts but that would really help complete that look if Hasbro wanted to make a new Starscream figure specifically for this.

Not digging that Megatron

Seems like a lost episode of those "Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters" short segments.

I love 95% of Ghostbusters Optimus, but a part of me still wants to clean the slime splatter off that trailer. Maybe if it wasn't so massive, I'd have less of a issue with it.

He is holding Slimer like \"who put gum on the undercarriage of my trailer??\"

For first time I do see green mold on figure it’s paint job it’s something not worth another buy of same figure
Sixwing
No way I'm gonna get either, but they look awesome.

Now that is an Optimus Prime with a backpack.
I really don’t need another copy of the MP-10 mold, but this is strangely tempting.
Chaos Prime
That Optimus is awesome!
That Megatron is…That Optimus is awesome!!!
Requiem Prime
Busting Prime and Ectotron would be a fantastic duo, but I don't have that kind of money. AND they're both limited release so good luck to everyone waiting for another opening.

That Prime looks really cool although pretty expensive. I like that it is not just repaint with stickers. I love the roller and the proton pack. Really nice.

For some reason I couldn't get myself to buy the Ecto-1, but I think this thing is great even without being a full on MP-10 completionist. Trap Roller is fantastic. Transformer who is a Ghostbuster, awesome. Ghostbuster vehicle who is now a Transformer, meh (still don't know why for me). Now if they give me a delorean, gamechanger.

Ghostbusters: "Who ya gunna call?!"
Optimus: "I am Optimus Prime!"
Ghostbusters: "WTF???!!!"

Beyond the bad choice, there's also this issue of relying on Optimus too much. The choice tells me that Takara/Hasbro is afraid to take risks.
In other words, this MP Optimus is likely the safety net for producing Ectotron. Such a risk-averse approach to business is alarming – think about all the BB-overload conversations we've had on these boards!
But Optimus is NOT BB. So it's okay to keep using this mold for every crossover EVER. Kudos to the fans who don't get tired of this convention. I kind of admire the pride they have for their Optimus collections.
But it's okay to try a different ice cream flavor ONCE in a while!
I like the crossover, but the Optimus choice confuses me. I think I'm more interested in a Sneaker-crossover Optimus.

I had the same idea as soon as the crossover was announced, to me a Ghostbuster version of Wheeljack was the obvious choice, i still like the Prime but it's still too bad that they went with him.

As an anti-Optimus, I'm not as tempted as some of you. Especially when a Ratchet makes more sense (to me) in this role. Or WHEELJACK, for that matter.
Optimus is getting milked to death. I imagine the average display has at least 3-4 MP Optimus variants by now. And if not, wait a couple of months.
