I would have bought literally just a reproduction of the chassis manual with all of the Stantz/Spengler stuff done fictionally but in the same level of detail. Literally just the Haynes manual for the Ecto 1/1a.

Wish it was the ecto-1B instead of the reboot ecto-1

This book isn’t really thought out. “Don’t spin the trap dial counter clockwise when the trap is occupied”. That sounds like it would never happen by accident when the trap is in the back of the Ecto-1 lying among equipment. I prefer the idea that the silver dial is a conic entrapment field adjuster. Turn one way for a narrower but stronger entrapment field, turn the other for a wider but weaker entrapment field. You’d really have to know 80s technology and dial placing to make the most realistic interpretation. (The cartridge to trap sync is the “sync” button in front of the trap. The trap already had a sync button labelled as such in front of the trap, next to the NRADS dial. Why go out of your way to say sync is using another dial that isn’t even the type of dial for an 80s electronic sync feature.)

So sad that the books and comics are having to perform mental gymnastics to tie the two universes together, when ATC should have been in the same universe to begin with :(

[@LPTV84]

How is it mental gymnastics? Simple. Two universes. RGB and XGB are alternate universes. How has that been so difficult to understand now?

[@GhostbustersNet]

Ivan Reitman has stated that he would like to see the two universes come together in upcoming Ghostbusters film(s). Time will tell what's in store as Ghostbusters Fest draws near.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Ghostbusters.net in fairness, I don’t hate ATC, but I’d like to see it as a one off. Bring in the XGB, comics, or even RGB instead if doing an inter-dimensional story.

it's just a device for a comedy bit.
