* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Given her relationship with Ray, the fact that her appearance is based on Donna Dixon, retired actress and Dan Aykroyd's real life spouse, is actually rather sweet. Bonus points for a dream sequence of Ray's that saw him and Jenny take on the roles played by Aykroyd and Dixon in ''Film/SpiesLikeUs''. Of course [[Film/TheBluesBrothers Jake]] then had to spoil the whole dream...

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Ron is based, visually, on 1980s Creator/ChevyChase.

* AnAxeToGrind: His signature energy axe returns, which he upgrades by plugging it into a proton pack.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Given her relationship with Ray, the fact that her appearance is based on Donna Dixon, retired actress and Dan Akroyd's real life spouse, is actually rather sweet. Bonus points for a dream sequence of Ray's that saw him and Jenny take on the roles played by Ayrkoyd and Dixon in ''Film/SpiesLikeUs''. Of course [[Film/TheBluesBrothers Jake]] then had to spoil the whole dream...
* CuteGhostGirl: [[spoiler: Ray certainly seems to think so. Of course, being a spirit in the Ghostbusters universe, she's not limited to 'cute' forms.]]
* FriendlyGhost: [[spoiler: Is currently this. As mentioned already, she's friendly because she's that kind of person. Piss her off and you get the...]]
** [[GlowingEyesofDoom Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: [[spoiler: Can turn these on and off at will. Surprisingly intimidating. She can also break out the...]]
** OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Being a ghost does come with perks. She seems to have mastered a degree of shapeshifting, at one point terrifying the ever-living snot out of some students by morphing into a screaming banshee with the head of a gigantic naked mole rat.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: At the end of the ''Crossing Over'' miniseries, she voluntarily enters the Containment Unit to prevent it from melting down.]]
* SummonBiggerFish: Tried this and failed: when the Ghostbusters were outlcassed by the spirit of a powerful sorceror, Jenny decided the best solution was to read a spell from the very tome said sorceror needed for his evil plot, one she understood might summon an even more powerful entity. It didn't work... in fact it sent her and the rest of the team (bar the spiritually immune Winston) [[ToHellAndBack straight to Hell]].

* [[VoiceoftheLegion Voice of the Legion]]: [[spoiler: Seems to be the only part of her 'ghostly' nature she can't hide when in corporeal human form: all of her dialog is rendered in the jagged white-on-black typeface that is used for ghosts within the comics.]]

[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes, you're seeing this right.]] The leader of the Autobots got a chance to bust some ghosts with the best of them. In this universe, Cybertron was destroyed by Gozer right after the Autobots left, killing all the Decepticons in the process. Left adrift for millions of years in space while searching for a new home, a signal on Earth--and a curious nature by the theoretical physicist Ectotron--sends Prime to Earth in search of a [[TheStarscream familiar looking specter.]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: {{Downplayed}}, as he's still [[BigGood Optimus Prime]], but he's notably more annoyed at some tendencies his crew has. Notably, when Ectotron confirms he's shortening his name, Prime is actually ''relived''.

* AnAxToGrind: His signature energy ax returns, which he upgrades by plugging it into a proton pack.
* BigBadassRig: His Earth mode is a 1984 Freightliner cabover truck, which he later paints in the Ghostbusters' colors.

* DeadpanSnarker: He has shades of this, notably when Wheeljack suggests not going to help Ectotron for being a little "nuts". Prime gently reminds him that people thought the same of the engineer...while the panel is focused on [[BloodKnight Grimlock]], his own creation.
* AFatherToHisMen: Aside from being mildly annoyed at his crew's antics, he couldn't be more determined to help them when needed.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Aside from the aforementioned relief he got at hearing Ecotron is shortening his name, he actually cracks a joke to Peter while discussing size changing amongst the Cybertronian race. Peter [[ActuallyPrettyFunny thought Prime was funny.]]
* PaletteSwap: He changes his more familiar red and blue colors to white black to better match the Ghostbusters. {{Justified}} due to him getting covered in graffiti.
* SixthRanger: To the OG Ghostbusters and Ectotron.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ghostbusters_2.jpg]]

* ButtMonkey: Not only do the other Autobots barely tolerate him, his time on Earth leads him to tripping over himself, having his ego knocked down a few pegs, and [[spoiler:getting possessed by a ghostly Megatron]].

[[folder: Villains]]

Tiamat is the sister of Gozer and the one to originally banish him from Earth. When Gozer is defeated by the Ghostbsters, Tiamat takes an interest in the planet and the Ghostbusters and invades Earth for fun.

-->'''Winston''': Giving up my friends, my family, [[spoiler:my WIFE?]] That's a sacrifice, all right.\\
'''Tiamat''': But it's not yours. If you want to banish me, you must live to face the consequences. I insist you choose another sacrifice.
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:After taking Winston's marriage as a worthy sacrifice,]] she pledges to permanently leave the Ghostbusters' plane of existence. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, all of the dimension-hopping adventures the boys have been on lately gives her [[LoopholeAbuse an interesting loophole...]]]]

* HumanoidAbomination: She’s a tremendously powerful DimensionLord and takes the form of a snakelike humanoid, is related to Gozer and is his superior when it comes to power, and possesses an extremely warped mindset that makes her both capricious and inimical.

* JerkassGod: She isn’t one for playing nice with her subjects, and when she feels like hurting someone to pass the time, is downright vicious.

--->[[spoiler:'''Real!Egon''': It's [Tiamat] been '''following''' us!]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Prime!Egon''': Worse - it's been '''influencing''' our situation.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Tiamat''': Of course! I ''want'' you to continue visiting other worlds, throwing ghosts and demons and things you can't even ''classify'' yet into fits of panic. ''Chase'' them. ''Upset'' the ''order'' of their environments. Leave ''chaos'' in your wake and ''increase'' my power - '''OR BE DESTROYED!''']]
