Given your history of threads, I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not…
To answer your question seriously, yes, I was being sarcastic.
And don’t be an ass. Of course people have noticed these differences before. But new people are always arriving on the scene, and I don’t see any thread dedicated to enumerating these differences; forcing individuals who wish to make their prop movie accurate to do all the research themselves.
As obvious as you make it sound like the differences are, I think you’ll find if you look through the fanmade props section that almost nobody has gotten the all details on a GB1 trap correct.
Did they do that intentionally, for aesthetic reasons, or because they simply don’t care, or aren’t detail oriented? Or was it because sometimes little details like that can slip by you when you’re looking at the big picture and having so much reference material can be overwhelming? I don’t know. But I suspect if they’d noticed that the GB1 trap had a silver knob on the front, then when they decided to replicate the number of rivets on the side, or the color of the dowels, that they’d have replicated that detail as well, if they’d been aware of it.
Furthermore, it appears it was only recently discovered that the resistor on the GB1 pack Ion Arm was different than the ones seen on the GB2 pack, as evidenced by a recent thread about it. Yet that too was right there in the movie for anyone to see. Should the fellow that noticed that not have made a post about it because folks like you might chastise them over a detail which has long been known about?
I rest my case your honor.
Ps:
If you’re the guy from SomethingAwful that made that RC Killdozer, then that was awesome.
I have been lurking here since about 2003 or 2004. I just made an account recently. It was my way of not spending money on stuff that I could not afford when in school. I like to think that I know the differences, but still find it nice that you are doing this.
Does anyone know the definitive length, width,p and height of the GB1 hero trap vs the GB2 hero trap? (Excluding handle and knobs, so just the “box” itself?)

Unlike the Proton Packs that were on display in the lobby at Sony, I’m not aware of anyone being able to make detailed measurements of any of the Ghost Trap props, so what measurements out there are approximations.
Digging up this thread to ask what label is on top of the battery compartment on the GB1 trap? Is it the white data label or red warning label?
A red label, based on the smoking Trap prop:
Nice one, thanks. Wasn’t sure as other reference pics had what looked like the white label from above the side knob on there too.
The non-RTV Afterlife trap has a white sticker there, the photos aren’t clear enough to tell if it’s the same as above the knob on the side, or the same as on the GB1 pedal though.
