Stern Transformers Pinball First Look - Is This the G1 Game Fans Wanted?
Summary
Stern's new G1 Transformers pinball features Elliot Eismin design, Elizabeth Gieske code, original cartoon audio, and strong thematic appeal.
RetroRalph attends a Stern Pinball media event for the new G1 Transformers pinball game, designed by Elliot Eismin with code lead Elizabeth Gieske. The game features premium audio including the original cartoon theme song, multiple shot types (Megatron Cannon, Optimus Prime scope, Soundwave), single pop-bumpers instead of clusters, and a training/practice mode. Ralph expresses enthusiasm about the G1 cartoon theming and notes this appears to be Stern's answer to Pokemon as a major IP cornerstone release.
