Quoted from Fieldsweeper:

Pff, Ain't no one gonna buy that from you. LOL jk. Thanks again for delivering this for me.
Not sure if this is a "dead" thread or not but as a first pinball machine for me and new owner to this game thanks to mrm_4 I wanted to browse around for the
owners thread" but seems like this is the next best thing? I see some other machines with an owners thread.
I do have one question. Is the ball supposed to bounce off Primes nuts and onto the plastic? or do I have the let right leveling off? also is it possible to turn off the flickering effect mid game that matches the music because Damn that is annoying especially in low light situations. I cannot quite tell which bulbs its coming from.
Also how can I find covers for the LEDs? I believe these were not originally LED? but some of the lights are directly in your face and diffusing it would be more of a pleasant experience?
I thought about splicing a variable resistor in the wiring for the blubs but figured that's a waste of time and effort. unless light covers for pinball LEDs do not really exist?
If anyone has any suggestions on this game like settings to set etc I would be happily open to hearing them.
Thanks

I have an Autobots LE and it has leg winking bad. Can anyone point me to a place I can buy a decal set?

Quoted from YZRider926:

I will be putting mine up for sale soon. Wish I could keep it but I just don’t play a lot of my pins these days and I have other things I could put the money towards.
Still a great game though, but ready to move on and maybe get another Gomez game, thinking DP premium eventually.

Quoted from YZRider926:

I hear you. I also have LOTR and MBr so I figure moving on from this one won’t be a big deal. Who knows when or if I’ll ever get a DP though. My reason for selling won’t be to find another pin at this point.

Still better than my Monopoly, ha! A.....red.......board

Quoted from EchoVictor:

Hey all,
Getting back into my TFLE after it being wrapped in plastic while I finished my basement. Decided to upgrade in a few spots.
First off, I changed out the Bumblebee that I had previously mounted above the Extra Ball sign. The regular Transformer toy's joints I had up there (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/transformers-club/page/3#post-2754384) weren't as robust to the shaking/nudging as I'd like, so I replaced him with an "action figure" type toy. In fact, he's from the same series ("Robo-Fighters") as the other Bots on the game (Prime, Starscream, and Ironhide).

Pop the figure's legs off, and the posts mount right in between the bulb housings on the back of the sign. I am working on a custom bracket right now to make the mounting a bit stronger.
Later,
EV

Quoted from EchoVictor:

Second mod I did was inspired by Neo's custom Megatron he did in this thread;
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/custom-megatron-for-tf-le-decepticon
I've never liked the stock Megatron either, so I decided to go with the same "Robo-Fighter" line figure for him as well. After reading about the difficulty Neo had with his conversion, I looked to see if I could do something simpler. If you leave all the bracketry in place, you can remove the stock moving Megatron rather easily.
First, you unscrew the two Philips head screws holding the plastic on his back with the single red LED. This plastic from his back can just be wedged into the layers of the plastics under the cannon, and pointed back towards Starscream. I may try to unplug this underneath the playfield, and then wire in a new LED that I could mount inside Megatron to make his eyes glow...

Then, there is one pivot rod up high that holds him to the big mounting bracket, and one pivot rod lower that connects him to the motor/actuator. Remove the simple "E" clip on one end of the rod, and you can remove the stock figure.
Old and New

Then, all I did was pop the legs off the "Robo-fighter" figure, and pose him so that he wedges on top of the pre-existing bracket. I'm still working on another custom bracket to make him more stable. For now, he's jammed in there pretty tight.
Only other thing I had to do was to tape the actuator rod to the new figure's back, and then go into the Adjustments Menu and disable the Megatron Motor, so that the rod wouldn't move.
Current state

Overall, I think he looks much better.....plus this mod is completely reversible.

Quoted from EchoVictor:

Final mod I did was to grab these little figures of Mudflap and Skids, whom I refer to as "the Idiots".
A little bit of two-sided tape, and they perch right above their stand-up targets.

Quoted from northerndude:

I went to a thrift store and bought a bag of dinky cars for $3 that had a yellow sports car in it. My original got banged up and fell apart

Quoted from Trekkie1978:

Just constant abuse from getting hit from the Newton ball.

Quoted from Trekkie1978:

That’s what happens. Roof breaks.
I have around 5 extra cars to be on the safe side.

Quoted from snyper2099:

Yes, and when you lite them all solid, that means that you have completed that "sides modes" and for Autobots, you qualify "Roll Out" mini wizard mode... for Decepticons, you qualify the "All Hail Megatron" mini wizard mode.
For ALL LIT SOLID, you qualify "Battle for Cybertron" main wizard mode.
Most people that own this game don't even know that you can can play all the modes for both Decepticons and Autobots, no matter what side you pick at the start of the game.

Quoted from Stealy70:

How hard is this playfield to remove from the cabinet? I have art blades to put on and this playfield is a tight fit.
