"We are going to see a seismic shift in where everybody's enthusiasm goes, where everybody's energy goes, and it is going to be based on two games that are going to come out within those two months. And I think these two games are really going to wow everybody."

Transformers and Sonic will cause seismic shift in enthusiasm in June/July

"I hear it's Stern's greatest game in a long time. Elliot Elliot Eisman has had 25 months, 25 months developing this game. Think about that. Jack Danger had like 10 months to develop X-Men."

Transformers will be Stern's greatest game in a long time due to extended development time

"This is not how I would have approached G1 Transformers. This is not the art style of G1. And if you're going to make a G1 Transformer pinball machine, having art like this again just doesn't connect with the fan base that grew up with G1."

Highly critical of Stern's artistic direction choices, specifically Pat Lee's manga-style art for G1 Transformers

"The real hit is not the series. It is Transformers the movie. Whoever can get that license is going to be the one that I must have with Unicron and Rodimus Prime and the battle between Megatron and Optimus. Everybody's in that damn movie. And it's got the greatest movie soundtrack of all time."

The real Transformers hit would be the 1986 movie license, not the cartoon series

"I'm really, really worried that they don't get how small the percentage of people in this demographic are into Pokemon... transformers is perfect for this demographic. Because remember, this isn't like the Shia Labouf transformer, the Michael Bay transformers. This is the transformers that we all grew up with."

Transformers would be better for pinball demographic than Pokemon

"Transformers pinball is most likely coming out before Pokemon because Pokemon has some harder licensing approvals Transformers G1 and it will be designed by Elliott Iceman"

Transformers G1 pinball is coming before Pokemon, designed by Elliott Iceman, but should have gone to Keith Elwin instead

"They're giving Transformers to Elliot Eisman, the dude that did John Wick. Alright, so again, Stern pinball, lost the narrative. Transformers should have been given to Keith Elwin."

Transformers being given to Elliot Eisman instead of Keith Elwin is a mistake

"What they really need to do is make the G1 Transformers the movie. That is where it's at. That storyline is the best. The drama in that movie is the best. It has the best music soundtrack of any movie ever next to Rocky 4."

Transformers pinball should be based on the G1 movie, not the TV series

"Transformers the movie to me is the greatest animated movie of all time... Site unseen that to me that would be the last pinball machine. I would ever buy if you told me that I could buy transformers the movie G1 limited edition"

Transformers: The Movie is the greatest animated film of all time and would be the ultimate pinball theme
