What happens when two iconic brands share a 35th anniversary? A must-have collectible.

Ahead of Toy Fair New YorkHasbro and Sony Pictures Consumer Products revealed the first TransformersGhostbusters collaborative figure, the Ecto-1 Ectotron, available at GameStop this summer. Fans can preorder the figure now at HasbroPulse.com and GameStop.

This year marks the 35th anniversary of both the Transformers brand and the original Ghostbusters film.

Meet Ectotron, a converting Paranormal Investigator. The figure is packed in a G1-inspired box featuring classic tech specs, and it comes with its own proton pack and Slimer accessory. It also converts between two modes in 22 steps — a 7-inch Ecto-1 vehicle and a Transformers robot.

Additional Transformers/Ghostbusters mashups could still be on the horizon.
