In early drafts of the script for Ghostbusters II, the Ecto-1 was going to be named Ecto-2.However, he is depicted driving a motorcycle instead of the plane. In storyboards of " Xmas Marks the Spot", Egon leaves the Firehouse, with the three Ghosts of Christmas in a Trap, on Ecto-2.Everyone including all four ghostbusters, Janine, and even Slimer flew the Ecto-2.Egon and Ray also used Ecto-2 to track the migration of bugs summoned by Apshai but an Enlarged Dragonfly forced them to crash into a pond below. The projectile made a direct hit with Ecto's rotor blade and it crashed into the garbage piles below, burying all four Ghostbusters in trash. The Slob formed a cannon and shot at Ecto-2. They vacated the Firehouse and flew over to the Bay Bridge Garbage Dump in New Jersey. The plan was a success and the weapon was disintegrated.Įgon and Ray used Ecto-2 during the Slob incident. ![]() Winston had set his Proton Pack to automatic self-destruct and ejected from Ecto-2. Winston ejected Ray and flew Ecto-2 into Capone's swing radius. In order to trap Capone, his baseball bat needed to be destroyed first. During a TV special about Al Capone, the Ecto-2 was teleported to the Netherworld with the Ghostbusters and Slimer. Ecto-2 was rebuilt and used on standby during a rescue operation until Poso was trapped. After Winston managed to "land" it by the Firehouse, the Ecto-2 collapsed into pieces. During two failed skirmishes against Mee-Krah, Ecto-2 was briefly possessed by several ghosts and ultimately suffered irreparable damage. Peter and Winston provided support on Ecto-2 against the Phantom when the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man got stuck in an alley and Ray and Egon were left defenseless. After being captured by The Giant's Son and marked as a snack by The Giant, the Ecto-2 emergency beacon was activated and transmitted to every Belt Gizmo. Winston then opened fire on the One-Eyed Blue Terror, weakening it enough for Peter and Ray to finally trap it. During a battle atop of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, Winston piloted Ecto-2 and saved Egon's life. It was set to a higher frequency in order to induce pain to Ral much like a dog whistle to a dog. Ecto-2's loudspeaker was crucial in neutralizing the entity and allowing for its capture. Janine Melnitz piloted Ecto-2 to help save the Ghostbusters from Victor by providing cover fire and throwing them spare Proton Packs.ĭuring the Ral incident, Ray and Winston piloted Ecto-2 in the final confrontation. Ray and Peter stood on each side of the wing and fired while Winston piloted Ecto-2. Notably, Ray, Winston, and Peter rode Ecto-2 to trap the Haunted Blimp. Ray Stantz and Peter Venkman piloted Ecto-2 during a botched Thanksgiving Day parade in order to help lure Murray the Mantis into a final confrontation with the Ghostbusters. However, it was hit by Tiamat's pyrokinetic blast and crashed into a pond. Ray later used it during the battle against Tiamat. Ray and Peter used Ecto-2 to lay cover fire on Murray the Mantis to prevent it from fleeing Central Park prematurely. Slimer lost control and Ecto-2 plummeted into the river below. Slimer took the co-pilot seat and was instructed with blasting certain clouds with Silver Iodide to influence a rainstorm and draw out Simon Quegg's Horse and Buggy and the Dark Rider. It now more closely resembled its original design. While they pursued the Crimelord, the thrower was disabled.Įcto-2 was piloted by Egon during the Simon Quegg case. Like the rest of the equipment, the thrower was attuned to people's bio-electric field. It had an enclosed cockpit, seating for four, and a Particle Thrower mounted on the roof at the base of the rotor. Since they were making more money than they could spend, Ecto-2 was upgraded. Egon set it to full power overload and the resulting ectoplasmic explosion dispersed the entity while not harming anything else in the nearby vicinity.Įcto-2 was rebuilt and later refurbished when the Ghostbusters were briefly the Crimebusters. The Ecto-2 was once sacrificed to disperse the Toy Ghost. The usual pilot of Ecto-2 became Winston Zeddemore. He also flew it when having to deal with a dragon an ancestor, Zedikiah Spengler, dealt with and when the gang became the Crimebusters. He managed to do so without taking any flying lessons. The first Ghostbuster known to fly Ecto-2 was Egon Spengler. Ecto-2 can be stored inside the back of the Ecto-1 or on a helipad atop the Firehouse. Ecto-2 is an aerial vehicle used from time to time by the Ghostbusters.
