nice list Swinks!

#6 11 years ago

so is this shaker motor worth it? Was there any code written for it where it activates on different modes or is it every switch activates the shaker type of thing?

Thanks for the help,

Chris

Absolutely! It's very well executed and there are different options depending on how much shaking you want.

#9 11 years ago

I added up 1-28 and came up with about $3000 (once you add shipping).

We should identify some of these as "essentials" to be used for a less expensive "Premium" model. The shaker and Cliffy protector are examples of "essentials". If you don't have a shaker on your IM yet, you're missing out! Here's what I have on mine, but I'm not done by any means...

4. Chest Arc Reactor Flasher Kit
5. Red Coloured DMD Lens
11. Leg / Cabinet Protectors (Red)
18. Shaker Motor Kit
23. Cliffy RHS Ramp Protector
24. Stealth Magnet Wear Protectors (made my own)
26. Arc Reactor Pop Bumper Kit
27. Plastic protectors

IM is definitely a modder's dream!

Thank you Swampfire, I will be ordering it real soon then!

#11 11 years ago

I have said it before, and I will say it again, Hooked's mods for this game are must haves (arc reactor lights in the figures, added drone figure, whiplash light up whips). They look like they should have been there from the start. Awesome product and seller with great communication.

Also, pinball_customs does some amazing custom shooter rods. I have his IM, SM, POTC, LOTR and TF. Contact him to see if he has any left for these game - if he does, grab them for sure.

Chris:

IM was my first game with the shaker. At first it is stupendous, but after a while even on maximum I found it fades into the background as I got used to it.

I agree; the only thing holding me back is that I want to learn how to do the EL wire mod myself. I'm just waiting to have some free time.

#14 11 years ago

I could sell anyone that would like to build the EL whips $35 shipped.

You would just have to .....
Deside / design whips and install how ever you see fit.
The Transformer would have the clips on it for flasher attachment.
I would just cut - test - install clips and mail.
I have yellow 2.3mm (thin) and standard 3mm white, just PM me

Thanks for the info Dan!

What about a metal apron?

Metal apron would be awesome.

#18 11 years ago

I like the ABS plastic, for the occasional ball bouncing back into play.

good point......I was wondering how the hell that ball came back into play tonight!

#20 11 years ago

I can't find this. Is it for the backbox?

Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
#21 11 years ago
Quoted from gprotein:

yes for the back box, maybe discontinued now???? it was a flasher light over his chest only

http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/installed-iron-man-backbox-flasher-kit-today

The list was put together a while ago as I bought a tricked out IM and was curious where it all came from so did the search to learn and then decided to help others, but I don't check to see if it is still valid / available but no harm in others posting where things are available and I can update the list once a month.

#22 11 years ago

I am working now with Mellisa at Coin-takers. She has a backbox kit available as well for Iron Man. Also I just got a little blue plasma circle off of Amazon-per Hemi's Thread and it actually looks really cool behind whiplash. With el-wire on whips it would really pop.

#23 11 years ago

I scored a metal apron from a fellow Pinsider, and am going to be painting it gold via the Treasure Cove TOTAN apron refurb method.

I also finished my War Machine figure mod. I put a red ARC reactor in his chest (accurate as to Iron Man 2) and managed to get a tiny Amber colored led into his smaller shoulder mounted gun, as well as in his rocket launcher. Lots of firepower, but in orange instead of red. I dig it.

I'd love to see pics of your War Machine mod with the red arc reactor.

I will shoot a video and dig up the thread I started last week. I have a new Iron Man with blue LED made, too.

#27 11 years ago

We all forgot the most important mod (for an LE) - clearcoating the playfield! After watching the HEP videos on IM, I'm tempted to do this. Looks awesome with the extra clear, and you'd have less of a concern about magnet wear.

#28 11 years ago
Quoted from gambit3113:

War machine has a white arc reactor. I just put LEDs in all the chests on my IM, too, and re-watched Iron Man 2 to make sure that was the color.

What resistor value did you use for the gun? I assume you tied it to the flasher...

#29 11 years ago

Depends where you look, I guess. He looks awesome in person with red.

image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpgimage.jpg

#30 11 years ago

I bet red means "target acquired and locked".

#31 11 years ago

I did notice that on the posters. I think it's like that in the comics, too. The reactor is white in the movie, though.

#32 11 years ago

Yeah I was going by memory from the comics, honestly. But with Monger being white and Whiplash being white, the red breaks up the bright white monotony.

#33 11 years ago

I had my War Machine modded with a red arc reactor a long time ago, I prefer it.. it breaks things up a bit. But yeah, it flip-flops all over depending on the source. Maybe it means "guns hot"

#34 11 years ago

Looking at the new Iron Man 3 trailer. Looks to me like War Machine is colored up like Captain America now sportin' the red, white and blue.

#35 11 years ago
Quoted from hassellcastle:

Yeah, he is. There is only one 3.75" figure out right now for him, and it isn't very cool. It's in the line that has removable and swappable arms and legs, and it isn't articulated or detailed very well. I have one made up with a white ARC reactor, but I looked on the Hasbro site and saw that much better IM3 figures are coming out later this month.

#36 11 years ago

Yup, the "Iron Patriot". Which is annoying because the Iron Patriot is actually Harry Osborn, but they can't use him because his ass is owned by Sony Pictures.

#37 11 years ago

I just did my figures. It was more work than I was expecting, but they turned out really well. photo-22.JPGphoto-22.JPG photo-23.JPGphoto-23.JPG

#38 11 years ago

Sorry. Either Pinside is choking right now or my internet is messed up.
