DPP #242 "Transformers! It's a game!"

Don attends Stern's media day for the new Transformers pinball machine and provides an extensive hands-on review covering layout, mechanics, code, art assets, and production details. He praises the game's solid B-tier layout, exceptional video assets drawn from the 1980s TV show with original voice acting, and complex rule set designed by Elizabeth Gieske. He notes that Optimus Prime does not transform due to unconfirmed licensing or design constraints, discusses accessory timelines and code roadmap, and gives trim-level buying recommendations.
