    What’s the one mod you would do with this Proton Pack?
    For me I would replace the bracket that holds the wand with a strong magnetic plate so it’s easy to reattach the wand when wearing the pack. As it stands now it’s not really doable

    I wouldn't be too surprised if the lore reason the lights went faster in Afterlife is because Egon had to beef up the equipment for stronger ghosts.

    The extra switch is there on the actual pack, so Hasbro included it. They also made it a functional switch for the tinkerers in the GB community to use for their own modds.

      @GeekCulture  Год назад +2

      Thanks. Will be interesting to see what’s done with it. Would have made sense to use it as a switch from the 84 to 2021 sound profile instead of opening up the cyclotron

  • @WiGgYof09
    @WiGgYof09 Год назад +3

    I think I prefer the "afterlife" mode as well. The lights spinning quickly makes it seem like the cyclotron is actually moving and gives the lights a purpose. The original pack from 84 just had slowly blinking lights that didn't seem to serve a purpose.
    I hope they release another version of the pack made to look brand new and based entirely on the original pack, along with an 84 version of the wand.

      @Geek Culture if they did something magnetic then it wouldn't make for a very good replica. The prop connects using a similar setup. It is hard to put back on while wearing the pack though.
