is this Pimp My Ecto?
The Ecto-Containment Unit used a significant amount of power and we saw what happened when you removed power from the equation - it went boom. In the words of Egon, "like dropping a bomb on the city . . "
I get the idea of a support vehicle - and to some degree a mobile containment unit, but at the size and scale you are talking about it just doesn’t make good sense. We’ve got two movies, two cartoon series, a videogame, several runs of comic books, and numerous other publications - at what point has a mobile command unit been needed?
Most of the advantages you have with this setup are easily incorporated into most Ectomobiles. You have in theory all of these sensors, you can put a laptop under the seat, pack an extra pack and a couple of traps . . . and if you really wanted you could have a tv too! In a much smaller application. Thats why this doesn’t make sense.
I had always considered the Ecto as a “mobile command unit” anyway considering all the doodads on the roof rack and inside the car…
thats what it is.
Just get a camper. Or something like that. Not some giant truck that you need a cdl to drive.
Hey guys - what about an Ecto Boeing 747? You know, since there’s so many international franchises now, what if there’s some SERIOUS ghost emergency, and they all need to be in one place at once? Here’s something I threw together - let me me know what you think:
I’m not sure if I included enough HDTVs in the plans or not, so any constructive criticism would be appreciated.
Needs a huge light bar more caution tape, and the stripper pole from iron man.
Those are all included on the right side of the plane mockup. I might need an extra $20,000 to make it happen in reality, though.
That would just be silly. So how SERIOUS can ghost emergency become without actually destroying everything that ever existed? Remember, it only needed the original four guys to send Gozer back to its plane, and that one had almost godlike powers. No need for all franchises to be all in the same place.
sure they do..all you can eat rib night at the sizzler..or .25 shooters at hooters!
Sure. Unless maybe there were ONE HUNDRED GOZERS?!?! At ONCE?!? Didn’t think about that, did you? Silly, indeed.
It’s sad that you’re be so quick to let the entire planet be destroyed over the relatively simple construction of the ECTOBOEING-1, which is clearly necessary for serious, international Ghostbusting emergencies.
Someone needs to build an Ecto space shuttle for those pesky ghosts on mars or those interdimensional crystal skull dudes that lived in that mayan temple
this is THE ideal ghostbusting mobile headquarters. i would see the possibility of busting ghosts whilst flying.
because ghost fly. havent any of you ever read a book?
It seemed pretty obvious to me, but once again, folks just have no logic when it comes to grave, sobering, real world issues like these.
From a cost cutting stand point I would say drop the 55". Use a couple 10" BW screens to link into remote camera’s so you could monitor locations your team wasnt actively in. It would also save you some juice too.
Mobile Ecto Containment Unit… Yeah isnt that what the Extreme GhostBusters used the garbage truck for in the series finale? Think of the scale of that sucker. I just dont see it being feasable.
One idea I always thought would be useful would be a box like device with EMF detectors, a remote controlled dvr camera, a PKE meter, just to name a few gadgets that one could simply drop in a room and either by wire or other means control/monitor. Call it a “Bust Box” or something. Heck throw a trap on just for good measure.
Also U-Haul and similiar agencies sell older trucks from time to time. Instead of Rent-A-Wreck you could own one. For a cheaper price. I am not saying your idea is a bad one, but I wont endorse it either.
You are my favorite new user ever.
I love you.
You make up for everyone else.
Thanks! You can prove your love by pledging your donation to the ECTO BOEING-1 foundation, newly established by ProtonCharger who (I hope I’m not betraying any trust here) has committed a grand total of five dollars ($5 USD) to get this project off the ground. Many thanks to PC for this generous contribution.
Won’t you give?
ECTO C-130 IS BETTER.
LIKE IN OPERATION DUMBO DROP.
I went there.
Screw all that! Getting a Aircraft carrier. USS Venkman, holds all franchises and tons of gear.
Haters gon’ hate. That’s fine. Y’all be real jealous when there’s 100 Gozers and y’all ain’t invited to come along.
