Fans can experience the legendary battle between Autobots and Decepticons like never before through immersive, action-packed pinball. Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye by Stern Pinball is available now in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition (LE) models.
In Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye, players join Optimus Prime and the Autobots in their mission to stop Megatron and the Decepticons from stealing Earth’s energy, conquering Cybertron, and dominating the universe. Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye pushes mechanical innovation to new heights with a fully animatronic Megatron robot toy with an articulated fusion cannon that rotates and fires pinballs back at players. Soundwave’s cassette deck locks pinballs before launching them into high-intensity action while a custom sculpted Optimus Prime robot bash toy stands ready for battle, adding depth and spectacle to this world under glass that’s …MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.
Players will experience the ultimate battle between Autobots and Deceptions, and can store Energon Cubes to power up, team up with the Dinobots, collect Transformers Tech Spec cards, and prepare for a climactic battle against Megatron. Players embark on missions inspired by major story arcs from the original 1984 Transformers animated television series, and the machine integrates authentic video clips and story-driven missions that bring the brand’s legacy to life.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie, the game includes a special mode featuring the iconic song “The Touch” by Stan Bush, custom call-outs from legendary voice actors including Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) and Frank Welker (Megatron and Soundwave), and original music from Knights of Unicron.
Utilizing Stern’s award-winning Insider Connected platform, the machine introduces a brand-new Cyber Coin wallet system, where players can earn Cyber Coins to unlock exclusive challenge modes. The machine also features a special challenge mode, “Prime Training,” where Autobots guide players through the art of pinball mastery, and for the first time, includes a head-to-head experience that allows two players to compete simultaneously in real time.
Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye pinball is available through authorized Stern Pinball distributors and dealers around the world.
Seth Davis, President & CEO of Stern Pinball, provided the following statement:
