Play Transformers today, Video and Pics of the Stern Party at Nickel City in SD

Guess the title says it all. Here are two small clips that show the gameplay a little bit better.

First Vid show a bit of a multiball

The Second Short Clip shows another angle of the machine. The only problem was that sometimes, the Megatron Canon was keeping the ball inside and was getting stuck; That only happened about 4 times and only in one of the machines.

Some Pics show the toys of this Pro Version Model. I really like the flow of the game, and my only complaint was the actual quality of the toys, I can see Optimus breaking often, and did not like the fact that Megatron was zip tight to the base where it was placed.

I was going to go to the launch party, but I had work. However, I'll be there tomorrow night for the Halloween party.

Classic.....maybe its time for Stern to test the features a little more before sending these things off.

True, I like Transformers, but like you said, they should actually test every machines they send out.

One machine at expo was doing the same thing today. Not a huge deal but caused a pause in gameplay. I had a blast with TF though. I really did.

It was a fun pin. Played a few games with coasterguy and gweempose. The flow is great. The left ramp is a little weird. Hope the LE is a big improvement.

OP
Quoted from tk375:

I don't like the Megatron figure/toy they selected. If I was getting the Pro I'd look to swap it out. Supposedly the LE version will be a standing robot version. Breakage wise, Iron Monger gets the snot beat out it on IM and it's holding up fine but I realize the OP is a different toy with extended arms/legs.

I don't the get complaints that some level on using "off-the-shelf" toys. Why would Stern want to spend the money in Design/production when someone else holding the license can do it to for less? Having said that, they really should have had at least one custom figure that actually transforms (if even partially) given the theme...again, perhaps on the LE.

I get both sides of the toy talk. I myself have said before I wished they had made the toys themselves but, maybe with licensing they can't. Maybe they have to use the toys sold places. I dunno. In the end a fun game is a fun game. I went to expo really thinking I might not like it. I am convinced now that I do.

Those are awesome!!!

Kmoore88, you are right, Iron Monger gets his butt kick, but at least he is on a base, Optimus has a couple screws on the legs where its attached, i can see that the figure is there to take a beating, and honeltly I would buy and extra figure just in case.

Not saying I did not like the game, i did liked it.
About Megatron, well he used to be a gun.... anyways, I think if you buy this PM, you are gonna be very happy, but you will soon think about modding some toys for it.
