    Just curious why Stern always has three pop bumpers. It seems to have effect on a designers’ creativity, when you always have to save room for pops. Thoughts?

    I didn’t realize that. Not usually a fan of them, but I definitely applaud the non traditional approach.

    Quoted from woodrailwizard:

    I recently ran into a Transformers machine in a local pizza shop. I didn't get to play it but gave it a good long look. I don't remember seeing any pops. Am I wrong?

    I just checked the gallery for it. Looks like there’s three in the upper left corner.

    I love the single pop bumper in TNA. It’s so well integrated and is something that regularly requires you to shoot for it. It’s easily the best use of a pop bumper in a long time. I wish there were more modern games that used them that intelligently.

    Also, Beatles is an older layout, but that’s another one where there’s three pops, but at least they’re used for a mode. They at least seem to be there for a reason.
