that sucks, megatron would have been awesome.
Guilty of paying 300, talked to Matt and he said he is never making them again. I think it enhances the value of my machine if I sell. I offered 200 and got no bites plus competitors wanting the same thing. Posting an insane price was my only option to push someone over the edge to sell it.
$300 for this topper is not insane to me....It is beauty of a topper!!
And no, mine is not for sale either!!
Agreed. This IS Matt's best topper that I have seen. And no offense to other topper makers (as I own those too), but Matt's toppers are the best quality.

I still like his LOTR topper the best but this is a close second IMHO!
I like his POTC topper and hated to sale the Transformers topper but at auction that could be an entire game. I have offered 225 to 250 and cant find his Ironman topper. Even offered to buy 10 and sell them out of the store s it might look on Avengers. Somebody else convince him to make more!

I think it looks great too. I wouldnt sell this topper for 300 as I like the pin too much. Wish I could find an Avatar topper and my Ironman topper from MN would arrive then I have that entire section with toppers.
Anyone know what type of bulb is in the cannons, I just bought a machine with this topper and have one bulb barely working, 1 out of three LEDs.
Quoted from Tseamans:Anyone know what type of bulb is in the cannons, I just bought a machine with this topper and have one bulb barely working, 1 out of three LEDs.
I believe they are just 47 3 LEDs bulbs.

first tray to change the places of the leds, on my topper one of the wires was connected wrong. Maybe you have the same problem.

i would live to have that topper on my machine! does anyone know if it is still available somewhere?
ha....the line forms in the back.
There are many that want this topper. Matt at first had said he would not be making any more, but then I believe he reconsidered. Havent heard anything more in a few months.
Love this topper. I'm just glad it doesn't say "Transformers" on it. I never understand toppers that only say the title of the game when the title of the game is right there on the back glass literally six inches below a topper. Keep it unique.
Quoted from Apollyon:Any one else in on Matt's new run of the TF topper? Has your's been sent out yet?
I got in on one. I paid him last week. Just waiting for it to show up at my door step.
^^ Were you on the first or second run? I'm on the second run and probably have a few more days. Upload pics!
I emailed Matt a couple weeks ago. No response so I have one being custom made. Enjoy this beauty when you get it y'all!
I sent payment last week. Nothing yet. You can't rush Matt. He is trustworthy and stalwart in his endeavors!

I took your guys advice and went to pinball life. Kept blowing the three bulbs but they hooked me up with a couple of 4 bulb ones that are amazing and working great. Thanks Pinball Life!
Just got mine today.
First things first, if you ever have the chance to do business with Matt, DO IT! I cannot say enough. His toppers look outstanding. Top notch quality. He could charge more but doesn't. Fast shipping. Great communication. Great packaging. Installation instructions. Matt even estimated shipping to Canada (which I paid), then he ended up having to pay a bit more than the estimate, but he did not charge the extra amount.
As far as this TF topper, it looks great on the combo. The blue glow in the eyes is amazing. White lighting from the bottom. Couldn't capture it in the pics, but the guns fire red when the pops are hit.
And on that topic, Matt even installed allegator clips for easy install to the pop bumpers at my request (because I was hesitant to solder).
Buy with absolute confidence.
What an absolute pleasure to deal with as always.
Pics installed.
Here are some pics of my "unholy triumvirant". TF LE, Avengers LE, and Xmen LE. Three games which get a fair bit of crap here on pinside, but which seem to be growing in their popularity as time goes on. I think more people are realizing the fun in these three. I know I am!
Also, the pics show the work of three different makers of toppers.
Transformers by Matt McKee.
Avengers by Laseriffic.
Xmen by Creative Acrylics.
Three different styles, but all work well.
Quoted from Rustyck:Does anyone know what the middle replacement tube bulb is for this topper?
Mine went out too
I just added a RGB strip on top of all the fixtures and fixed the issue

Nice! Mind taking a pic and sharing?
How's it look and where'd you grab the parts?
I have one for sale - let me know.
