NOTE: Had a few people ask for these, so I got a handful more printed. If you are interested, please PM me. Price is $75 shipped in US, $100 worldwide.

Long story short, I had a WWFRR Prototype repro trans lite. It wasn’t the best. It looked kinda grainy/pixelated, and I wanted a better one.

So I got it scanned. I retouched it a bit, but still wasn't happy with it. I then contacted Aurich (he of the Shadow and Helen AC/DC trans) to help me retouch it. After working on it a bit, IMHO it looks MUCH better than my original repro did. I had it printed in the same manner as his Shadow trans, which as anyone who has one can tell you is the best quality trans you can get. Not off some crummy inkjet, but done on true photographic trans. So yes, it looks quite good. I’ve never seen an original prototype, so maybe they look a lot better...but I think this looks pretty darn nice. Pictures of it are attached.

wwflowres2.jpgwwflowres2.jpg

Should add it's a bit tricky to photograph these things backlit. Trust me, looks way better in person. The only difference from what you see in the picture is we’re moving the image down a bit so that the Royal Rumble logo isn’t so close to the top.

I know a few folks want this, so I’m doing a run of them with the printer. Price for the trans is $75 shipped in the USA, $100 overseas. PM me if interested.

Should have them within the next two weeks. Maybe sooner if we get lucky.

Just discovered something else...on this trans, there is a flasher right behind the WWF logo. Looks very cool with it blinking like that!

#15 10 years ago

Monday morning bump to see if anyone else wants in.

#17 10 years ago

No prob, will add you to the list.

#18 10 years ago
Quoted from goatdan:

Crap, I think I'm in... WWFRR now in my possession, I have the sort of blurry version of the translite, I really like the one that is in it... dang it...
When do you need to know by?

I am finalizing the order tomorrow, so it would be helpful to know if you are in by then if possible. Thank you.

#20 10 years ago

And right after the network launches.

#24 10 years ago

Glad to see so many people excited about this.

#27 10 years ago

Yeah, pretty cool seeing all the talent on there that they had back in 1992.

#29 10 years ago

Got you, Jason.

Anyone else want in? I am placing the final order today, so if you are interested, please PM me.

#30 10 years ago

Thanks to all for their interest! Order has been placed. I got a couple extras if anyone was late to the party. Should have them shipping out next week.

#33 10 years ago

Both of you are added. Anyone else?

#35 10 years ago

Added you to the list. This is pretty much last call time, so...last call!

#39 10 years ago
Quoted from jimster102:

Thank you been trying to get one forever are you going to be taking paypal?

Yes, all payments will be made via Paypal. I will let everyone know the address to send to via PM when I have them ready.

#43 10 years ago

Ok, just got the final proof and I am very pleased. Only one issue: I cannot quit looking for the WWF logo to flash, which is causing me to drain!! LOL

I've sent PMs to everyone who wanted one with Paypal info. I did go ahead and get a couple more, so if you want in, please PM me.

Oh yeah...it's time to Rumble!!

wwffinallowres.jpgwwffinallowres.jpg
#46 10 years ago

Thanks so much to everyone for the quick payments. Hoping everyone will enjoy these!

#47 10 years ago

Ok, told the printer to make me a few extra. If you want in, please PM me so I can make sure you are in before we run out. Thanks!

#49 10 years ago

I'd really like a new subway for mine. Poor thing is duct taped in!

#50 10 years ago

And The Hulkster has returned to WWE. Just in time for the trans shipment!

Ok, probably more for the WWE Network launch...

#52 10 years ago

One day I'd love to redecal with the proto side art. Hmm...

#55 10 years ago

Sadly there's not much out there aside from a couple shots on the IPDB.

#56 10 years ago
Quoted from Pinfidel:

WOW! GREAT JOB! That's only like...1000 times better than the original. Well done RDR.

Thanks. Just glad that it's no longer unobtainium!

#58 10 years ago

PMs sent to those who've asked. I still have a few if anyone else is interested.

#60 10 years ago

Wish I could find a shot of the front of machine. IPDB only has the side view.

#62 10 years ago

I'll be at the Louisville show on Saturday. Would be cool if the WWFRR going has the proto trans. I'll try to bring one with me (or more if folks will be there that want them)...

#63 10 years ago

Ok, putting together shipping labels now in prep to send out this week.

I still have a couple spares, anyone else in?

#66 10 years ago

Hoping to pick them up either tomorrow or Friday, shipping that day or the following day.

I have all but three of the folks interested paid up, so everyone else is set.

Cannot wait to get these out to everyone!

#68 10 years ago

Just a quick note that I have received the trans, and they will be shipping either late tonight or first thing Saturday morning. Thanks to everyone for your patience!

#69 10 years ago

A note to everyone!

The trans are now shipping! When you receive them, there is a release liner on the front. You will want to peel that off. It is there only for protection during shipment.

I look forward to hearing what folks think of the new trans!

#77 10 years ago

Ok, just a note that we are currently out of these. I do have two of the original versions that are slightly off from a size perspective, I would be happy to let someone have these for $35 each in the US. I just felt the logo was too close to the top of the machine.

If enough people are interested, I will contact the printer and get a few more of the final version run.

#79 10 years ago

Cool. Post a pic if you can, I like seeing them on machines.

#81 10 years ago

Yes, on the ones that the size is off a bit it would be $35 shipped in the USA. PM me if interested.

#85 10 years ago
Quoted from pmWolf:

I got it, and like it.
I did have a proto-translite in my game already, but it was not as high-quality as this one. (Don't get me wrong...it still looks pretty good, and worked fine as there were no "true" protos out there).
The old one was a bit "grainy", and just not quite as sharp. The new one is a lot heavier. If you have Aurich's Shadow trans, then you know what this new WWF "feels" like.
I haven't put it in my game yet, but I'm assuming, like The Shadow trans, that it will be a little bit 'darker' when the game is off. (I'll put up pics later).
Here are some comparison pics of the two proto-translites. Left side is of my old copy, right side is of this new version.
Nice job, really.

Thanks. Did you take off the protective cover on the front? It should look kinda glossy, I couldn't tell from the photos if you had or not...

#87 10 years ago

Yeah, for sure you want to take that off the trans. Will make it look rather glossy and really pop.

#103 10 years ago

Just a note that I do not have any more of these at this time. I'd be happy to get another set printed, but I'd need around 10 folks to justify it. If you are interested, PM me and I will start putting a list together.

I also still have, at the time of this writing, one of the original trans that is slightly off from a sizing perspective. It is the one on the very first post in this thread.

#104 10 years ago

Also very glad folks like it! Make sure to take that protective cover off the front, now, y'hear?

#108 10 years ago

Ok, just need a few more folks to commit so we can do another run...who's in?

#112 10 years ago
Quoted from z28makanic:

Hey,
been looking for one of these for a while I'm in just let me know on payment info and I will be prompt.

Thanks, will add you to the list. Just need maybe 3 more people to make a second run happen...

#113 10 years ago
Quoted from Aurich:

WTF, seriously?

Thats a poster, not a trans.

#118 10 years ago

Just a quick note that it looks like we have enough folks interested for a small run. Please PM me if you've not already and are interested.

#124 10 years ago

Back layer stays on. It is a diffuser, definitely don't remove it.

#125 10 years ago

Ok, have got the next batch and have PM'ed those who were interested. Have a few extras if anyone else is interested, please PM me.

#127 10 years ago

Have two or three left. If interested, please PM me.

#128 10 years ago

Ok, have exactly one left. Anyone want it? PM if you do.

#130 10 years ago

And that's that! All gone. Hope everyone is enjoying them like I am!

#132 10 years ago

Good idea, done!

Ok, got enough folks in. If anyone else wants to jump aboard, please PM me.

#139 9 years ago

Love Taker, but it was overdue. He just looked so, so old.

#140 9 years ago

BTW, Prospector Paul Orndorff was the highlight of the night!

#145 9 years ago
Quoted from pmWolf:

Yeah, but losing to Lesner? That just seems like kind of a waste. Shouldn't it have gone to someone that could have used the heat, or does more than three matches a year? Heck, Lesner could be out of the WWE in five years...
Do you think that was how it was supposed to go, or did a real injury change the script?

That was the way it was supposed to go. UT wanted to end it and I think retire.

That being the case, who would be better to end the streak? Cena? No. Orton? No. Hunter? No. Bryan? Love him, but no.

Lesnar was kinda in the right place at the right time. No other real options I can see.

#151 9 years ago

Love Flair-Steamboat, pretty much any of them. I absolutely love Bret-Lawler from Summerslam 93. King was such a great heel.

#161 9 years ago

Shocked and so so saddened by the loss of the Warrior. I spent years making fun of the guy at wrestlecrap.com, but he seemed to kind of have more sense than most in the business. Made his money and got out. Thought he did great at the Hall of Fame as well.

RIP Warrior, you will be missed.

#217 9 years ago

Not entirely Tetris. It has the Mickey’s Magical Tetris boards inside. Random version from Japan where there’s English settings, but it’s only for the menus. The game dialogue between the Disney characters is still in Japanese characters. Super cool game though.

Sorry about that, I should have made it more clear. Some of the earlier versions had a protective layer on top. When I discovered it was tough to peel that off some times, I switched and shipped without that. Once you peel it off, you should be good to go.

The ones I have now do not ship with that, but haven't heard any issues with it due to the way I pack them. Thanks!
