OMG… Stern has really fully become Disney. Re-hashing the same old themes again and again and again. This combined with mailed-in “safe” cookie cutter designs that are BOM driven. Publicly traded companies suck for creativity. My money is safe!
Thank god for Spooky, BOF, and JJP.

Re: Stern Transformers teaser
What's going on with the wireforms in the screenshots? They don't look chrome, but a crappy grey. Playfield art looks nice but seems a bit empty to me. I guess I prefer a busy playfield when it comes to artwork.

These leaked pictures aren't the greatest, probably just that.

Re: Stern Transformers teaser
When you keep making pinballs with 21x43" playfields on which the bottom 30% layout never changes, it is easy to run out of ideas, I guess.
But it is a nitpicky niche market. Not easy to please everyone. I like the classic Transformers theme. But regardless of opinions, I believe a non-licensed theme is a hard sell today. It's not 1981 anymore, when pinball was everywhere, and everyone played. You need to attract the casual players. And many casual-playing buyers from the home-market rather theme over function, well, the people I know anyways.

Re: Stern Transformers teaser
Game looks like it has some interesting shots. I like the theme as well. Only thing that irks me is the Optimus figure. I mean there are dozens of existing toys and figures out there, and this is the best they could do? I'm sure some people in this forum can do better on their 3D printers
