Megatron In Ball Form – Transformers Pinball

If you're not a fan of the Michael Bay Transformers franchise, you probably won't appreciate the fact that this machine is based on that version of Transformers. That being said, this is a wildly enjoyable game from Stern. There's a number of these floating around in the world, as Stern created a number of different versions of this specific game. There's a pro, three different limited edition ones, and then one that was marketed as a "home use only" and was extremely affordable, but also really cheap looking. I saw it once and really regretted laying my eyes on it.

Anyway.

When it comes to this game I prefer the LE editions. I like the call outs, and they do have sound clips from the cartoon show. The playfield has a lot going on. Designed by George Gomez, it features two slingshots and a rapid fire ball ejector. Figure wise, you have Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, and an All Spark Cube. There's also a Camaro in the captive ball chamber. You can play for either the Autobots or Decepticons, so your game play will vary based on that. I've seen prices all over for this machine so I really can't give you a fair market gauge. If you can get one though, do it. Just not the cheap home use one.
