There is just something wrong with a $5K+ pin's backglass looking pretty much EXACTLY like the freakin' DVD cover...
Plus i've seen the center image of the two reaching upward on other general schwag.
I can't really fault Stern completely ... I am sure Disney had it's say... but at the same time I'm guessing ole Stern didn't bitch too much... which is a shame.
But to each his/her own.
It looks ALOT better in real life...
The 3D effect is much better than Avaturd
It kinda makes up for it being unoriginal
But I was still kinda disappointed as well

If you listen to Borg's podcast they DID have another 3D backglass design but due to time constraints and trying to get Disney's slow ass to approve it, they went with that image because it was already approved. Borg said he may post the image sometime down the road they could have used. They said it did have the lightcycles and girls on the backglass along with some other cool stuff.

Borg is an awesome guy all around and most people point the fingers at Stern for pics and stuff when usually the issue is the license holders!

To be honest, the Transformers franchise has been a tedious, redundant, unoriginal and regurgitated for the past 10 years, Bay is just following the company line.

I've only got a couple of the recent TPBs. For some reason I can't easily find any places to get the individual issues. I've never had a problem with the comics, they usually come up with some great and original ideas. In some cases (Armada -> Energon) I actually prefer the comic stories to the TV stories.

Is it odd that there is not any leaks of design yet?
I haven't followed pinball much, but for something that is going to be released in a few months, you would think there would be something out there on the net.
For the actual pin itself, I hope they get fancy with the toys and rails. I think this theme has a lot of potential so hopefully they can capitalize.

Not a huge fan of the movies. Entertaining at best and I grew up with the animated series. My biggest problem with the movies is the ability to see what is going on. It looks like a tornado going thru a junkyard during the action scenes. Not to say this would make the game bad, but it can't help when dealing with the art side of things. Just not sure about this one. Tron Pro did not impress on the visual side of things ( have not played it ), but the LE looks like it could be nice with the colored tubes and such. Maybe Transformers will work out to be the same thing. Just not into the theme on this one that much. I really think it has to do with my impression from the first two movies. Not sure if that matters much in the long run if the game is good. I have a LAH, hate the theme, but I find it a fun game anyways. Will have to wait and see. Still waiting to hear about the Tron LE details and opinions.

Here's the confirmation: http://pinballhead.com/confirmed-sterns-next-pinball-will-be-transformers/
Looks like all you guys were right. Transformers will be the next pin.

What is interesting is besides Transformers it says G1....

Awesome.... can't wait. I wonder though, from that shot, where it says Transformers on the bottom, does it say GI for lighting or does it say G1 for Generation 1 Transformers, looks like a G1 to me, but you would think new movie stuff would make Stern a hell of a lot more money.
Edit.... Damn just got beat to it. I guess I typed too much lol.

Personally, I think that would be a HUGE WIN!
If that's the art style it is a 100% buy for me. Unfortunately it is not remotely possible.
