Hey, I'm Sam. I'm here with Joe from
Stern. We're looking at the brand new
Transformers more than meets the eye
pin. We are going to look at a bunch of
cool toys and features and things that
this game is doing that a game has never
done before. So, to kick it off, I just
wanted to talk about how cool it is that
the8s Transformers are back. Cuz can you
talk about what's in the back glass
here? Yeah. So, we have a firstgen
Transformers pinball game. So, from the
bottom to the top, you are looking at
the original 1984 first series of the
animated cartoon. We've got all the
Autobots, all the Decepticons,
Dinobots. You're you've got the battle
of all battles on the pinball playfield.
>> And it's actually the '8s animations in
a lot of it. And then your own too,
right?
>> Correct. So original soundtracks, the
original voice actors are in this game
doing the call outs.
>> Original voice actors, too.
>> That's correct. Yep. So truly a
Transformers world under glass and it's
it's a blast. So we've got easy shots,
medium shots, difficult shots.
>> Well, let's talk about some of those
shots. A couple of these toys in this
the premium version that has a little
bit more uh uh molded toys,
transformations, and some other shots.
Uh this one actually has a uh a robot
here. Megatron is shooting a gun that uh
you're going to see in a second here.
That's really cool. Can you explain
what's going on here?
>> Yeah. So, we've got the Decepticons in
the form of this 3D custom molded
Megatron with the cannon. At this time,
he's shooting into a receiver here. We
also have an upper right flipper, which
also has one, two, three, four different
shots on it. I notice you get it back to
that flipper a whole lot which is really
interesting. Like a lot of these shots
lead to that flipper center left. It's
really really uh important that you you
get to know that one.
>> It's a fast flowing game. Uh lot of lot
of stuff's coming back to the upper
flipper or back to the the main flippers
down low. It gives you a shot a chance
to bash Optimus. It gives you a chance
to hit a ball lock. Um, you're fighting
in a bunch of modes, more to come,
obviously as we roll out more code, but
there's a lot of stuff here. A lot of
fun.
>> Okay, let's talk about Soundwave over
here. Uh, in the premium, you we
actually get a a Soundwave uh a molded
toy. That's right.
>> And it also has a special little
function. What's that? Yeah. So during
Transformers multiball, what you were
doing is hitting into towards Optimus
loading up balls into the Soundwave
cassette deck and you do it three times.
He's blasting three balls at you and
you're into a nice He just barfs out the
balls from his cassette te. It's
amazing. Aggressively.
>> It's true. It comes out really
aggressively. And I we should mention
too, if you're just going to walk up and
play this machine, that's the multiball
you can start really easily. You just
hit this left of center shot six times.
You're going to hit it once to light a
lock, second to lock, and then it's
going to go in here. Or if you're
playing on a pro, it's going to come
back to you. You just do this shot, this
upkicker right here, six times, and you
start a multiball, and it's a pretty
cool one.
>> That's right. And we have a bunch of
the, you know, the original characters
like Bruticus, and we have the Dinobots
here. They all have their own modes.
It's a blast to play. Well, you can find
Stern Transformers more than meets the
eye at an arcade, maybe a bar, maybe a
house near you very soon. Uh, anything
else to say to the uhers? Just go out
there and play some more pinball, guys.
Thank you so much. Thanks, Sam.
