Most of you don't know this but my other half is a pinball machine affectionado. He collects pinball machines of all shapes and sizes and competes internationally in a variety of pinball competitiosn (yes, he is a bigger geek than I!).
Today he said he got unofficial confirmation that Stern is making a Transformers pinball machine next year. It hasn't been officially announced yet so the news is from a guy who knows a guy (and so on) who has inside knowledge and, to date, has been 100% accurate in his pinball predictions. The releases next year are supposedly as follows, in order. Apparently TF is coming out in time for the sequel release.
CSI
24
Transformers
Stern is the only big company left who makes pinballs so they all come from one source. Needless to say my other half is thrilled because this will be one pinball machine I split the cost with him on heh.
I'm guessing pre-orders will be up from your local pinball supplier sometime in the new year.
Do with this knowledge what you will
. I'm taking it as solid and am planning a purchase but, of course, its still completely unoffcial.
