Quoted from Rarehero:

Short version: Poor design

I'm a TF-LE owner and do enjoy the game, but for serious players it's just plain unfit. Stupid issues like inconsistent ball locks in the Megatron trough… for instance if the 4th ball goes in via the skill shot lane, but doesn't fall into line on the switch right away it can count as a lock. When starting Megatron multiball balls that fail to make the pops can fall in thru the skill shot lane too and cause legitimate shots to Megatron not to count. Balls bounce off Optimus & land in the Ironhide playfield & get stuck, then when they DO get released they count as a right ramp shot.

Simply the fact that auto-plunged balls don't consistently make it to the pops is a major downer & causes unnecessary grief. A game shouldn't need so much babying/tweaking to just LAUNCH a damn ball.

Quoted from Rarehero:

I hit the point where I just didn't feel compelled to hit start anymore.

For me I think it's sticking around. I go through waves of playing it quite a bit then it falls out of favor again. However, as a collector & long time Transformers fan it's a keeper, if for no other reason than the license & the artwork.

Granted, I'm the guy who still has unopened G1 Tranformers in boxes on my office bookshelf.

Quoted from metahugh:

I also didn't like being a test bed for Stern's decals. I got lucky with my game and I didn't really have decal issues. I did recently put the metal protectors on my TF and boy am I glad I did as I started to have a decal issue on the right front of my game. I think Stern should have mailed a set of those metal protectors to everyone who purchased TFLE, and especially to those who complained about decal issues and Stern mailed a set of replacement decals to. They can't cost that much to manufacture and a little customer service goes a long way.

I ended up with a new set of decals from Stern, but come on… am I really going to go thru the trouble of removing everything from the game and re-applying the decals myself? I don't think so. Yeah, it's a nice gesture but at the end of the day I still have torn up decals on my game.

Quoted from goodgameslover:

Wow, i do love my TFLE but the fake Peter Cullen is miles apart from the real one.

Totally agreed. I think it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have the REAL Peter Cullen's voice in there as well so you get a direct comparison. There is no substitute.
