I would have been a lot more bummed if I didn't have Avengers to play. I'm loving TFLE but I have high hopes for the update. If I were Gomez I'd want to take TF to the moon. Beyond the obvious requests. Make the rules more elegant and special. Something for the naysayers to choke down!

I actually like the transformers rules as they stand. My only wish is for the mb completion road block to be resolved.
I agree. Fine as is...allow playing all modes to postpone roadblock or add progression. I guess i mean adding features. I have heard a few really good suggestions about stacking autobot versus decepticon modes, adding some combo rewards, adding jackpot callouts, make starscream EB challenge a multiball and give a prize or something for completing super spinner/pops....that and an attract mode flipper button callout and whatever else would give the game a little polish.
I'd also like high score initials that have a cool font, like in lotr and som other games. Gives the game character.
Btw,is the all spark shot really a design flaw in your opinion? I wonder if GG made it so it wasn't such a gimme.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Btw,is the all spark shot really a design flaw in your opinion? I wonder if GG made it so it wasn't such a gimme.
I think so. It's kind of like the doc orc shot in SM. If you pitch the game to 6.5 degree's then it holds most of the time. Up that up to 7 degrees plus and it seems to be 50/50. I put some dead foam in mine at 7 degree's and it holds 90% plus of the time. It's an easy fix

+1
Furthermore, consider what great Power Pack the XM folks (me included) got. From now on my "hype" about code updates will be after release if it is good. I will not get excited and be waiting for anything "cool" ever again. Oh yes, I am disappointed as it was just a bit of bug fixing, some things got worse and there is nothing that deserved the name "Power Pack" 
Quoted from TomGWI:I have a feeling no TF update. My spidery senses are tingling.
I sure hope your kids, Walker and Texas Ranger, can continue to enjoy the game without the new code.

Imagine all this excitement and I am betting there will be no significant changes in the code on this game. I was sure hoping for some major changes the last time Stern put out a "power pack" for TFLE and unfortunately was really let down.
Nothing major changed in the last code update for TFLE so I wouldn't expect anything miraculous with this one.
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:I sure hope your kids, Walker and Texas Ranger, can continue to enjoy the game without the new code.
Dear Baby Jesus, Thank You for another great Year. Hope next year will be a good one as well. Please help the people at Stern Pinball release the TFLE code so that we can all enjoy pinball goodness. Also, thank you for blessing me with a hot wife.
Amen.
Quoted from AkumaZeto:8lb 6oz baby jesus
lol Hey I'm Ricky Bobby, I can say whatever I want.
Shake & Bake Baby.
They're 0 for 2 on powerpack updates.
TF pack ver.1: let down
Xmen pack ver 1: no power, buggy to all hell.
TF pack ver.2: ????!
My prediction is they'll take the hat trick and go 0 for 3 on POWERpack updates. However, I am happy and glad they at least recognized TF needed an update. So there is some positive, as well as hope.
Quoted from TomGWI:Just a big rumor to try to help distributors sell more games they are sitting on.
Or to take the heat off of George's seminars at PPE and Expo.
People posted they were going to be vocal about the games they bought at his seminars.
One rumor of update and all is forgotten. At least until it happens ?
LTG : )

) I don't think baby Jesus knows shit about Code. Just saying.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:
He does know when it will be released though.
1 week later
I can assure you now its coming and it will be awesome. How do I know, because I am about to sell mine. Doh!!
Quoted from AkumaZeto:it was power packed....in the owners you know what........
LOL! You always have a way with words my friend! 
It is coming, that is a fact. No one wants to pen a date specific. My info is solid and in the business but I will not say who. Stern and Co. just want it to be the best it can be as a nice big update to please the fans. It is unfortunate the delay over Christmas but it is what it is. I would say very soon.
As well, new Tron code VERY soon, it has been under test for awhile now.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:And are they going to sort out the mess XM has become? Really hope they do or no more Sterns for me - eva!
Yes.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:XM could be so good......why no versus modes like Avengers??
Aren't villain fights technically "vs" modes? It's you (X-Men) vs. the villains?

Great, but why can't Stern ever release any news updates about stuff like this? Why do we always have to hear about it second hand?
Quoted from GoBlue:Great, but why can't Stern ever release any news updates about stuff like this? Why do we always have to hear about it second hand?
In case something happens, then second hand takes the blame and not Stern.
LTG : )
Quoted from Jediturtle:LOL! You always have a way with words my friend!
linguistic master i tell you. Its still being worked on. A certain member of pinside was asked recently for thoughts on changes... that is all.
Quoted from GoBlue:Great, but why can't Stern ever release any news updates about stuff like this? Why do we always have to hear about it second hand?
They're to concerned about where everyone is playing pinball this weekend. Yet unless I go to someones basement, there are none around.
Quoted from LTG:In case something happens, then second hand takes the blame and not Stern.
LTG : )
That makes sense.
As XM owner think best to wait for another code update........
Melbourne
Quoted from mnpinball:As well, new Tron code VERY soon, it has been under test for awhile now.
Gee I wonder who is testing the Tron code to make sure it isn't complete garbage? Someone who actually gives a shit and takes pride in their work?
Quoted from AkumaZeto:PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE they are all working on Metallica now.
And thank god for that.. it means I can take a break from buying NIB's till SRP's Star Trek comes out.
Quoted from AkumaZeto:PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE they are all working on Metallica now.
..........so they can release another game without features promised and another year and a half to release code.
Quoted from AkumaZeto:PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE they are all working on Metallica now.
Can they finish XM first - please
Quoted from TomGWI:..so they can release another game without features promised and another year and a half to release code.

Sounds like WoZ code to me.
