I just installed a full set on mine. Go to Cliffys site, Passion for Pinball. He stays behind. 2 hole protectors,outhole protector,eject protector, & shooter lane. You got to modify the Megatron. There is a post on this. I had to cut 1 side off on mine, but, they sure are nice.

I see no Transformers on Cliffys site, looked three times today. I'm on this page http://www.passionforpinball.com/protectors.htm
Quoted from HIPPY:Does anybody know where to get a set of plastics protectors? Tried Pinbits, several months, no response. This game really needs them.
Quoted from northerndude:I see no Transformers on Cliffys site, looked three times today. I'm on this page http://www.passionforpinball.com/protectors.htm
I finally found them in the "See whats New" link
If your looking for 3/4 inch round PETG plastic fender washers I have them for sale 35 cents each + shipping.
I'm not seeing plastic protectors on that link. Just the round PETG washers.
I also would love to add a set to my game but as far as I'm aware, I don't think anyone's made a set for this title.
Quoted from 85vett:Warm to touch - Normal. If they are hot (you can't hold them for a couple seconds) not so normal.
Get Kinda weak - Not normal for a correctly playing game. They will reduce in strength as they heat up but it should be very minor. Most likely your coils are dirty and need to be changed. I would also look at the pivot bushing for both the plunger as well as what goes through the PF. I replace those when I do a sleeve as they are cheap and can also effect flipper performance.
Took my flippers apart today and replaced the coil sleeves, coil stops and the plunger assembly. Coil stops and plunger were kinda worn and plenty of black stuff everywhere. Probably not 100% necessary, but figured while I had it all apart might as well replace the worn stuff.
Snappier and stronger after the rebuild. I'll keep ya posted on if they get weak on a long game.

Welcome. Did your TFLE come with a red dmd? Mine has the orange one.

The color dmd will surprise you it does a lot for the game. I got an Autobots LE, love it. If you like multi-balls, it is for you.

Yes, mine came with a red one. The ColorDMD can't get here fast enough >___< ...!

I love it - I know of 3 MBs now - OP, Megatron, and M&S mode. Are there an others?? What # LE you got? 105 here.

I so cannot wait to hear the sub on this. Just the stock speakers alone actually sound decent. I think this one may have upgraded speakers. Need to check. Did LEs from Stern come with the "standard $15 speakers" ?
My very first LE - back when they were like $5500 instead of $8000 
. Got this one for sub-$5000.

I got #118, it was still new at Automated, about a year ago. 5K, had to do all the updates, it was stored in their warehouse. Lots of trouble at first, but, worth it. Check out Cliffys, he has a nice set, the holes get a lot of action.
You named all the multis, they are pretty steady. If you go with Cliffys, I can give you guidance, needs modification. Enjoy.

Also, you can see mine at post # 768. Check the topper, still at Tilt Toppers. There is another one from McKee listed, too.

Did you modify the cliffy for Megatron on the back side? Mine still gets hangup every now and again.

Put Mylar on playfield before the Cliffy. It helps get rid of the problem.
Quoted from cpr9999:Put Mylar on playfield before the Cliffy. It helps get rid of the problem.
I tried that, still happens enough to aggravate during a good game. Tried layers of Mylar at entrance, too. I ended up cutting the entrance on the top side out. Works 100%. You can Mylar the edge instead.
RGB speaker light kits with TF are great, too. They are at Cointaker.
I have layers and layers of Mylar there and ball still get hung up. I need to take it back apart and clip the fluffy off at that point. And add Mylar on the edge.
When i pit my cliffs on I put some Mylar on the front entrance of the Megatron scoop too.

I cut the protector. Still works great everywhere else on the hole.
Quoted from NPO:Did LEs from Stern come with the "standard $15 speakers" ?
Yes. Before Iron Maiden LE all versions of the games got the same speakers.
what settings are you guys using for game play? I have owned this game for over a year and have never made it to Roll Out or All Hail Megatron because I have everything set in either hard or factory depending on the objectives. Ive played other machines on locations that I've noticed its way easier to get modes completed. Am I cheating myself by making this game too hard? I put up some big scores with these settings and play 30-45 minute games but I can never close out all the modes for mini-wizard...

Do you have the GC on your game?
Quoted from Deez:Do you have the GC on your game?
I started a timer and was giving you Deez 5 mins before you trolled me hahaha You don't disappoint.
Yes I have GC on the Autobots, lost the Decipticon side this summer, but what I noticed as I cycle through all the scores. No QRK anywhere to be found. 
Edit: Alsoooo this forum is for members only, you just sold your machine 2 weeks ago 
Adjust it to where it's fun for you. First go back to factory settings and go from there. If you want a tad more help increase the timers of the modes so you have more time to complete them.
Man, every time ColorDMD supports a game, I have to get one. This one is no exception. Man, this game look SO much better - especially the movie clips.
Also added the Polk PSW10 subwoofer under my game. Found out someone before me upgraded all the speakers with a varistor volume control directly to the front speakers. Dude, my game sounds like a home theater system - the glass nearly shakes!

Told you that polk makes this game so awesome!!! What frequency are you at with the sub. i think i put mine around 90 or 100 or something before it gets muddy. I need to check.

I'll check a bit later as my girl is konked out (she's been having trouble getting a good night's rest lately), and I don't want to wake her. I'll tell you this: this particular Trans Auto LE has Lanzer speakers with a varistor volume knob, upgraded Polk cabinet speaker AND the sub I put on externally. Holy smokes, this thing is like a home theater setup. I've had people come over and tell me they can hear the game outside, and we have an all brick home. Unreal.
She was playing yesterday, and I couldn't help but take a video. Needless to say, I think I made a good purchase here ; ).
Quoted from sportecto1:Put a Starscream on my Pro. Looks great!
Looks real nice..
In my house Starscream is referred to as Richard, because he can be such a Dick on the LE diverting the shots off the ramp.

Mine does that, too. Does the Iron Hide against the back board catch pinballs, too?

On my LE he will catch some airballs.
