I wish I was home to photoshop a picture. This gave me a mental image of a “Trojan Tank” arriving at the gates of the Canadian Parliament building as a gift from American Pinball. Lol!

Quoted from pinchamp:This playfield cover must have something to do with fold and fight. What else would the function of this folding flap be? It is larger than the top of the back box.

Dust cover and protection for the expensive Invisible glass.

And to look like a complete tank when folded. It's all just cosmetic.
I think bigger issue with the tank on the back is that it's going to limit where folks can even put the game, having to be much further from the wall than they are used to.
Had a fever dream last night, we are over thinking this fold and fight….. clearly you can drive this thing…. Secret hatch in the bacK for the player to enter, full tank controls inside…. Along with a small lawn mower engine for power.
The best part here is that we can all just drive the thing up and down the stairs to the basement 
. This is going to be the best!

9 inches. That is the measured space behind a slanted backbox when the rear legs are pushed to the wall.
Quoted from LORDDREK:9 inches. That is the measured space behind a slanted backbox when the rear legs are pushed to the wall.
And it looks like the back box is tapered more than a standard head to allow more room.
Ok. Now you’re just talking crazy.
It’s clearly a plasma cannon
And you need a Time Machine to travel into the future to get more ammo reloads.
Good news is tho
The GTF pins come with 5 rounds included. Yay
Quoted from ataritoday:Live artillery rounds not included.
Quoted from Wariodolby:Can’t wait for a real poster!
I cheated and printed out one on photo paper.[quoted image]
I love it! Although date is still cut off on bottom. But so what! Looks like it belongs there.

I still wonder who will have the patience to put down the back glass past first installation just to enjoy looking at the tank.
It looks pretty cool on social media though.

That backbox actually looks pretty thin to me. I wonder if the head upright will still have enough room for the tank head to be flat up against the back? I'm excited to see it in action.

It just folds back when he backbox is up. Don’t read anymore into it.
Quoted from Roostking:I wasnt talking about any mechanical lift, i was talking about some sort of game inside the head when folded down or somwthing to do with the cover being partially lifted. You know, fold and fight. Isnt that what speculation threads are about? To speculate?
Try to keep up and bless your heart.
Cant wait for the reveal.
Speculate on things That are based in reality. This thread has turned into a wishlist sadly. One of worst reveals at this point outside of Bond in recent times. People are overthinking things that might be in the game.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:People are overthinking things that might be in the game.
Buckle up my friend. This is your future on Pinside for every new game reveal.
Quoted from Zablon:And occasionally good ideas come out of them, which are either implemented by the coders, or modders.
Come on pleasure cannon!

If you don't like what people are writing here then maybe find something else to read or somewhere else to post where you'll get more enjoyment out of it. Why hang around somewhere that you aren't happy?
You're not going to change people's thoughts and they have the right to post their thoughts the same as anyone else.
Do you really not see the hypocrisy in wanting to be able to post whatever you want in a forum but then posting to criticize what other people write?
Quoted from EaglePin:Why hang around somewhere that you aren't happy?
Because miserable people like making everyone else feel miserable too. If they're not happy why should you be?
Quoted from Aurich:Because miserable people like making everyone else feel miserable too. If they're not happy why should you be?
Lol, my error. I forgot the number of people in the world who will only tolerate things being exactly the way they want things to be.
I'm looking forward to seeing more about this game!!!

Nice, you get all pissy in your pants about things posted in the SD thread but then come in here and do the same......???
Maybe this guy can help..??

CAAAAAAANNNNNNN YOU FEEEEEELLLLLLL THE LOOOOOVVVVVVE TONIIIIIIGGGGHHHHT! Let's all be friends! Agree to disagree and move on. Pinball is supposed to be fun! GTF!!!
Quoted from punkin:So a call to reason doesn't exist as a valid option in your world?
Either enjoy anything i feel like typing or fuck off is then only two options?

No, the better option is to be okay with the idea of someone posting thoughts or ideas that you don't agree with and not criticizing them for having their thoughts/ideas.
There's a difference between saying "I don't agree with this, I think this instead" and saying "You shouldn't think this" or "You shouldn't post this"

Thumbs down button. Or as Robin named it years ago, the disagree button.
I thought we were all just having fun coming up with absurd ideas for what we have seen so far? Did someone actually believe the tank head was a moving pleasure cannon? Or that that we could drive it around?
Quoted from Zablon:I don't care what's posted or if the opinions are negative, but he needs to realize/understand his hypocrisy in how he approaches hype threads.
Same thought process: he NEEDS to understand. Why? Frig it. Let people post and don’t respond. Waaay worse than engaging. Drives them nuts!

Hahaha take all the tank speculation out and this thread would be ten pages long.

It certainly got them attention.
Just think how much more media hype Oktoberfest would have gotten if it transformed into a keg!

Love it, same sentence complaining about hypocrisy shows same hypocrisy.

I didn’t know how to post it without posting it! He NEEDS to understand!

Alright, back to our regularly scheduled program.
Let's talk more that retro space theme.

No no not at all. His intolerance of what people said in the Scooby hype thread is well known. I didn't slam him or downvote him. I called him out for how he acted to others doing the same thing.

Putting a keg in an Oktoberfest? Brilliant!

Legit. He is kind of a:

Wouldn't the turret need to be mounted to the bottom of the cabinet for this?

I think there’s heaps of room. Modern games actually sit a fair way out from the wall. Looks to be far enough to accommodate the tank head/gelato maker.
