Well, this morning, American Pinball revealed what the product is...a claw machine. On its Facebook page, AP showed two images of a Rock-afire Explosion Claw Machine. I had kind of been hoping that American was going to reproduce the animatronic robot band itself. Now that would be cool, though there is probably a very limited market for expensive singing robots lol so I get why they didn't.
Next up is a fun video with Stern Pinball’s George Gomez teasing a new Transformers pinball machine…
14 years ago. Will history repeat itself this January? It certainly sounds as though it will. Stern’s next cornerstone pin is mostly likely a cartoon Transformers designed by Elliott Eisman. It will be either that or Pokemon by Jack Danger / George Gomez.
There's a new image floating around out there that claims Stern will show off a new Transformers pinball machine at the Consumer Electromics show in January 2026 (see comments). It’s not real, it’s AI generated. Having said that, the game may indeed actually make its first appearance at the show.
What do you think? Would you be interested in a Transformers G1 pin?
