TRANSFORMERS: Official Trailer

Gameplay Feature Tour

More Than Meets the Eye.

The TRANSFORMERS franchise has captivated generations of people worldwide across toys, comics, television, film and merchandise. Now, 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 Stern Pinball's 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.

Battle Autobots and Decepticons Across Every Mission.

Players will experience the ultimate battle between Autobots and Decepticons, 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.

Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Pinball Mastery.

Loaded with Stern Pinball's cutting-edge technology, TRANSFORMERS: More Than Meets the Eye seamlessly blends physical and digital gameplay. 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.

Limited to 750 games globally, the highly collectible Limited Edition model includes the updated Expression Lighting System™ and Speaker Expression Lighting System with TRANSFORMERS-themed game effects, a full-color mirrored backglass, full-color high-definition cabinet decals, exclusive custom pinball armor, a custom designer-autographed bottom arch, upgraded audio system, anti-reflection pinball playfield glass, shaker motor, a sequentially numbered plaque, a signed Certificate of Authenticity, and a digital Insider Connected LE owner's badge on registration.

"The TRANSFORMERS franchise has inspired generations with its timeless battle between good and evil. With TRANSFORMERS: More Than Meets the Eye pinball, we've created a machine that dynamically changes before your eyes, delivers groundbreaking gameplay, legendary music, and the ultimate showdown fans have been waiting for."
Seth Davis, President & CEO of Stern Pinball

Picking a Delivery Method

Free Curbside Delivery: $0 (on orders $100+*, for a limited time) 

We currently offer free curbside delivery on most freight orders within the contiguous United States. Like it sounds, the delivery driver will pull up to the curb outside. It is up to you to remove the item from the truck yourself. The driver is not required to help remove the item himself. He may choose to (or not) at his own discretion. We strongly recommend Liftgate Service and having a second pair of hands to help you. You may select this option at checkout.

If you are unable to remove the item from the truck, storage fees and/or return shipping fees may be incurred at your expense.

Front Door/Garage Delivery: $267 per shipment

The driver will remove the item from the truck and place it by your front door or to your garage door. It is your responsibility to then move the item inside. 

Inside Delivery (Room of Choice):  Contact us for a quote

With this service, the driver will remove the item from the truck and bring it inside to the specific room of your choice.

Professional Installation: Contact us for a quote

Schedule Delivery Date

As soon as you place your order, we'll send you an order-confirmation e-mail. It is your responsibility to review that e-mail and make sure everything is correct. Especially check item, billing, shipping, delivery, and contact information. 

You will also receive a reminder to add liftgate service to your order. If you have already selected liftgate service or if the item you purchased is not shipping via freight, you may ignore that prompt. If you would like to add liftgate service at that time – we highly recommend that you do – please let us know immediately. 

Once your order leaves the warehouse, you will receive an e-mail with all relevant tracking information. 

The freight carrier will then contact you via the phone number you provided at the time of your purchase to schedule a desired delivery date and time window. 

Should an issue arise, we will do our best to help you resolve it. But please note that any delays or mishaps during the shipping progress are outside the purview of Game Room Shop

What to Do When Your Item Is Delivered 

Inspect Before Accept (VERY IMPORTANT). Check For:

  1. Exterior damage: Damage to the packaging
  2. Concealed damage: Damage to the item itself
  3. Order Accuracy: Make sure the item received is the exact item you ordered and that all parts are included.

Inspect all sides of each box for any sign of damage (holes, tears, dents, etc.). Open the package & inspect the item(s) inside, if the driver allows.

Delivery Scenarios & Actions To Take

  1. Boxes in good shape without any signs of damage?
    ACCEPT DELIVERY. Write "possible concealed damage, pending inspection" before signing.

  2. Boxes in with visible damage?
    If the product itself appears to be ok (or if minor damage can be repaired or just needs a replacement part)...ACCEPT DELIVERY. Write "Damage," and note any specific holes, tears, dents, or concerns before signing.
    If the product itself appears damaged beyond repair or replacement part(s)...REFUSE DELIVERY. Do not sign delivery receipt.

  3. Boxes & product severely damage?
    Open the boxes & inspect the product. Take pictures as evidence.
    REFUSE DELIVERY. Do not sign delivery receipt.

Notes:

  • If delivery is refused for any reason other than damage, cancellation fees will apply.
  • If damage is minor, we may send you a replacement part instead of issuing a refund.

Please review our Damage Instructions in detail for your protection.

CANCELLATIONS & RETURNS

Your satisfaction is our top priority. As such, we are happy to cancel or adjust any order before it ships or enters production. (Excluding Final Sale Brands.)
 
Before shipment: You will receive a full refund for a request made within 48 hours from either time of purchase or the original lead time notice e-mail from us, if applicable. (Note: Lead times are estimates and subject to change based on production and vendor’s discretion). After 48 hours, 3% will be deducted from your refund, to cover the non-refundable merchant fee charged to our small business. Alternatively, we can switch your order to another item to avoid this 3% fee. 

Made to Order Items: You may request to cancel any time before the item goes into production (excluding Final Sale Brands). Once production on a custom item begins, WE CANNOT ACCEPT CANCELLATIONS OR ALTERATIONS. It’s essential that you confirm all order details (size, color, dimensions, etc) before placing your order.

 

After Shipment: 

You will receive a refund for the price of your order (minus cancellation fees) once the warehouse confirms receipt of your returned item. We will attempt to reverse delivery on our end but please refuse delivery if necessary. 
 
You received the item, but it's not working correctly or is missing parts: If the item isn't working correctly, and it does not appear to have been damaged during shipping, file a warranty claim with the manufacturer directly. There should be paperwork inside the original box advising you how to do this. The manufacturer – not Game Room Shop – is responsible for any defects or deficiencies with its products.
You physically cannot accept a curbside delivery and refuse the item: The shipping carrier will return it to us. You will be issued a refund (minus cancellation fees). You can reschedule delivery for a more convenient time or for when you have enough people to help you unload your item from the freight truck. You will be liable for the actual cost of the shipment and any penalty costs the freight line assigns.
You've received the product but you've decided you want to return it: If you receive an item, it is in good condition, but you decide to return it, you can do so only if all of the following requirements are met:
  • The item must be unopened, unused, and still in the original packaging.
  • You must contact us to notify us that you'd like to return the item within 30 calendar days of delivery.
  • You must contact us to get an RMA Number and return instructions prior to returning the item.

Once the warehouse confirms receipt of your returned item, your refund will be issued, (minus cancellation fees).

We know it's possible you'll find one of our products selling for less on another site. But don't be fooled. That's not the deal you think it is...

Some websites are simply scams while others are resellers who violate Minimum Advertised Pricing (MAP) policies in an attempt to undercut the competition. When caught, these retailers get shut down – often voiding manufacturer warranties and customer support. And you'll be left high and dry.

As an authorized dealer in good standing, Game Room Shop promises to provide the lowest prices online along with superior customer service!

Still shopping? Contact Us today and ask if there are any discount codes for the item(s) you're in the market for.

Already ordered? If you find a lower all-in price on an identical item from an authorized dealer within 90 days of purchasing from us, we'll refund 110% of the price difference back to you!
