Ecto-X was a robot built by Egon Spengler to help the Ghostbusters bust ghosts. Unfortunately, Ecto-X worked too well and started to overshadow the Ghostbusters. Things went worse when a Computergeist possessed Ecto-X, captured the Ghostbusters, and went to the Firehouse to open the Containment Unit and free his imprisoned brothers and sisters. Fortunately, Slimer managed to save the Ghostbusters. The Ghostbusters were able to capture the demon because he surrendered. Since then, Ecto-X was remodeled into Ecto-Maid, and was now programmed to serve the Ghostbusters snacks.
