Hi all,
This is a long shot....

It looks like I scored a Transformers Pro. (Apparently one of the few people that loves Transformers). I got the Pro because, frankly I loved the flow much better than the LE (the ramps). The things I do like better about the LE are:
- PF lighting....(easy addition of 2 spotlights)
- The possibility of a right loop shot orbitting around (Though when I played an LE this didn't happen that often)
- The Cannon on top of the Megatron hole (I love how it recoils when a ball is shot out of that hole)
- The right metal ramp

(Only one of the above 4 things has to do with gameplay)

Does anyone know if the right metal ramp is the same dimensions as the plastic PRO ramp? I am thinking if it is, I'll just order one to replace the plastic one.

Thanks.

Quoted from pinballcorpse:

Looking at photos, the geometry looks totally different between the 2 right ramps. The pro ramp sits farther back in the game and appears to curve slightly toward the left whereas the metal ramp on the LE is straight and would send the ball on a trajectory into Ironhide farther to the right of bumblebee than on the pro.

Thanks. I just picked up the machine today. You are correct.
Oh well, I am still happy with the Pro

I tried it tonight. I removed the one way gate that stops the right orbit shots. Wow it is fast!
Super fast. Now it really reminds me of JM. But I get very little pop bumper action. I might begrudgingly add it back. It really needs a controlled gate like the LE. IMO that second controlled gate is the only thing I like better game play wise on the LE.

OT:
I added an external powered sub and wow this game is awesome with that sub. Especially when Optimus Prime speaks.
