Episode 60: Is There REALLY a Problem With Transformers Pinball?
The new Transformers pinball machine from Stern Pinball is finally here… but so is the controversy surrounding it. In this episode, we dive deep into the rumor that Optimus Prime was originally supposed to transform in the game, where that rumor may have started, how the pinball community ran with it, and whether content creators helped create expectations that Stern themselves never officially promised. We also discuss: • The origins of the transforming Optimus rumor • How leaks and insider information shape community expectations • Whether Stern Pinball is being unfairly criticized • The responsibility of pinball media and influencers • The hypocrisy surrounding “confirmed” rumors • Why social media and speculation can spiral out of control • The actual gameplay, code, and features people are LOVING about Transformers And to be fair, we also talk about the positives: 🔥 Fast and flowy layout 🔥 Strong launch code 🔥 Incredible G1 theme integration 🔥 Peter Cullen & Frank Welker callouts 🔥 Megatron and Soundwave mechs 🔥 “The Touch” mode and pure 80s nostalgia This was a really interesting conversation and honestly one of the wildest examples of rumor culture in pinball we’ve seen in a while. What do YOU think? Did the community build expectations Stern never promised? Or should Stern still be criticized for what people believed the game was going to include?

Episode 59: Stern Accidentally Leaked Transformers Pinball… Autobots, Roll Out!
On this episode of The Flipside, we’re talking about the leak that lit up the pinball community — Stern accidentally showing images of the Transformers playfield and cabinet through the Insider Connected app. We’ll break down what appeared, what it tells us about the game, how this may have slipped through, and what it could mean for Stern’s official reveal. The Autobots may not have rolled out on purpose… but they definitely rolled out. Leaks, speculation, community reactions, and all the usual Flipside chaos. Transformers Pinball is coming… and apparently Insider Connected wanted us to know early. 🕹️ LOOKING TO BUY A PINBALL MACHINE?
