Number 5 is alive!

[SlyTF1]

Must buy!

[Sabrblade]

Must buy!

Whoa! Dude! You have enough money to buy and entire arcade game machine?!!

[Seibertron]

Fellow Chicago Transformers fan Jason Blue Boost will love this! He's a pinball expert and does tournaments and such. Would love to hear what he thinks about this.

[kirbenvost]

lol whaaaat? Crazy dramatic trailer for a pinball machine? That's totally awesome! I actually do love pinball. I hope someplace around here gets it.

Decepticon, Autobot; this Christmas, the only distinction that matters is whether you are or aren't foolish enough to think you can control...TILT!

The Space Wars have begun, and your actions will decide whether he aids the heroic Defenders or evil Maladroids. Whirl and Roadbuster Chopper and Wheels will be waiting...

Seriously, others here must remember what toyline this transforming pinball machine is REALLY an homage to.

I had a little transforming pinball machine toy when I was a kid. Here it is:





The bio reads, "Looks friendly and harmless. Can be very dangerous to those who think they can control him."

Some of the guys from this line are kinda funny. I like the roulette wheel and slot machine, Vegas and Bandit, lol.

Why didn't you report it here? However, I did see your post and their news back then, this trailer just made it more newsworthy IMHO.

Did not know which forum to post as I thought this was mainly a toy only forum.

Guess I know to put in general discussion now.

No big deal, but yeah we pretty much have forums for everything, and a news submission link at the top of the page. If you come across anything newsworthy feel free to post it or drop us line.

Love the use of the Orson Welles "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast in there.

[Michael Alex Kawa]

[dinogeist]

I've never played any pin ball machines.

Remember the Transformers pinball machine that Stern Pinball teased us with last month? Top Score Gamerooms has posted a couple of images of the finished product. As you can see in the images mirrored below the machine is movie universe themed. You can add this piece to your game room or Transformers room for $4,699.00 with free shipping!

[YRQRM0]

The side image designs could be cooler than those stock CG poses...but this is still pretty awesome.

[prowl123]

Who the hell can spare 5,000 bucks to get a pinball machine?

[AshesOfPain]

I'f only the would do a Unicron themed pinball machine. That'd be hot.

[Rated X]

Im 35 and I never played pinball. Im not knocking anyone who does, but arent we going back a little farther than the G-Wuner's with this ??? Perhaps baby boomers ???

[Sabrblade]

Video arcade owners? Arcade enthusiasts?

Yes, yes we do. This is awesome. Wish I had 5 grand to spare.

In the time I worked in a hotel we had two pinball machines in the bar. I could play for free over and over again. Pinball rules and with TF-flavoring, I'd happily fire my balls in to that machine.
