ecto 1A

A slight modification of the already original ecto 1 modified 1959 Cadillac hearse made for the ghostbusters 2 movie in 1989 .

In an attempt to refresh the new ghostbusters 2 films look , decision to modify the ecto 1 was made by adding new accesories on top of the hearse and two electronic bilboards on each side to advertise ghostbusting ads .

The overall new ectomobile was nice enough to not alter the already popular look of the iconic car .

Note that the car also comes equipped with a proton particle thrower and giant ghost trap ( featured in the atari 2600 , nes , sega games systems . ) never used in any of the two previous ghostbusters films , but was featured in the real ghostbusters animated series pilot .
The ecto 1a is the name of the ectomobile in ghostbusters 2 .

The ecto 1a is the same car as the ecto 1 but slightly modified .

ecto 3

The ecto 3 is a phenomenon by itself for in the real ghostbusters ( Slimer and the real ghostbusters) is a unicyle motorcycle with a side car , made for two persons .

The trouble with this vehicle is that the toy maker Kenner made their own version of the ecto 3 being a go kart with ghost swatter in the front so technically the ecto 3 is a motor unicycle and a go kart both made for and by the ghostbusters in the animated serie .
The ecto 3 toy is nothing like the ecto 3 from the tv cartoons .

Proton pack

The proton pack is a fictional piece of equipment (Prop )used by the Ghostbusters in every episodes , film and comic books , it is what makes the Ghostbusters what they are .

Proton packs are essencially nuclearaccelerators that are used to accelerate particles also known as Particle throwers .

The particles create an energy stream or ribbon used to catch ghosts , it does not trap them only direct them to the ghost trap witch is emptiend in the containment unitinside the Ghostbusters firehouse headquarter basement .

Important to note that particle stream or ribbons should not be crossed or enter in contact with each other because the results could be catastrophic according the Egon Spengler in the first movie , yet in the 2009 Ghostbusters game simply cause some painful thingling to the characters .

In the 2009 games it is also noted that the packs can be upgraded with slime thrower and other types of energy beams to help the Ghostbusters cope with different kinds of spooks .

Note that in the pilot episodes of The real ghostbuster the ecto 1 have a particle thrower canon mounted on a seat on the hearse roof witch can also be seen in the toy version of Kenner , and in the DS version , the only one you can actually control the ecto 1A you can use a similar particle thrower .
