Hey guys,

Got the word there was a Transformers Pro at Marvelous Marvin's here in Michigan and went to check it out. I got a couple vids.

Just a heads up, I'm quite the novice when it comes to playing the pins. There isn't a whole lot here to see, but it's something. I got my niece to help with the video.

No real opinion except that I want to play more.

Nice job getting some video of it. I'm sure alot of people (myself not included) here are planning on getting one. BTW, does the PF really look that red in person? I think the PF artwork is terrible, but that's just my opinion and has no affect on how fun it is to play.

Not sure if I mentioned it in a thread here or somewhere else, but I totally agree. That lower playefield art kills the look of the machine for me. It looks jammed together and has a distracting repetitive pattern. Have to see this one in person to really get a feel for it.

No, it doesn't look that red. It's pretty low light at Marvin's and the iPhone video seems to make it look redder than it really is.

There's a lot going on in the game, and I can't say I was distracted by the playfield (but I agree, it's a very busy playfield). But again, I'll need more time on it.

i still want one....soooooooooo not gonna happen NIB right now though. may look into getting one a few years down the road though.

right now, i'm picking up the last pin in my lineup friday (gilligan) and i just picked up another fan favorite this past weekend (slugfest). good news is that i'm completely PINBALL DEBT FREE right now. no outstanding money on anything. whew. :)



bad news is that i am tapped out for any $5K+ purchases at the moment. oh well. there's always next year. ;)
 
btw, anybody else think that backglass (translite) looks kinda old school? at the end of the first vid, there's a zoom in on it. i thought it had that metallic look to it.....like, straight outta the late 70's/early 80's kinda thing.

maybe it was just the lighting....but i liked what i saw.
 
Likes:

-The sound package looks like it's coming along nicely. This is still early code and I'm not hearing any custom voice yet...but I've heard that will be in an update before the launch parties. The "More than meets the eye" music sting on the skill shot is awesome, as are the transformation sounds when you hit the Optimus shot.

-Lots of custom dots! Seemingly more than usual. The Allspark gadget transformations, Bumblebee driving across the screen, Devastator pop bumpers animation, Mudflap & Skids getting hit in the face w/ the ball, Allspark mystery award, Match sequence.....

-Movie-rip dots look clearer than usual...might just be due to the distance of the phone ,but it almost looks like more of an effort was made to make the backgrounds "brighter" and the characters have a darker silhouette value

-True modes! I wasn't sure all the character inserts would relate to modes....but the fact that we see "Bumblebee Battle" while the Bumblebee car starts 2x scoring is proof of this.

-I'm sure it's just 4 pieces of plastic...but the Allspark Cube looks cool. It's gonna spin on the LE....woot!

Dislike:

-Guess we'll just have to get used to those fucking TWINS....glarghghh...at least the ball hits them in the face. ;)
 
Yeah, I'm looking forward to some launch party vids with updated software. I don't mind the twins. I know they act stereotypical, but are funny in spite of that. I'm disappointed soundwave didn't make it in, but I know there is only so much space and time. Really amped up for this game. Haven't looked forward to a Stern this much since Spidey. Good times.

There are just so many better characters in the Transformers universe and movies they could have used...but I guess the Twins have a lot of quips they can use for voice drops. I would rather have seen Jazz in there ..."What's crackin' lil' bitches!?" ;)

I'm with you. I hope we hear some quotes from Jazz, Sideswipe, Soundwave and that little decepticon, the Doctor, even though they are not represented by inserts. They all had some good quotes.

That was EXACTLY my thought, Jazz would have been better than the Twins, the only reason the Twins are there IMHO is because they appeared in two of the films.

I don't recall the twins in the last movie.
 
Yeah they were only in Revenge of the Fallen....they weren't in Dark of the Moon cuz everyone hates them...that's why it's surprising they're in the game. Perhaps the toys sell well and Hasbro requested it.

I can't view facebook from work. What are they teasing us with, today?

I could have sworn I saw them in a scene in their alt modes... if that's the case then I see no reason for them to be in the game
