Hello eveyone.

So I've had some free time lately (Unfortunately, my employer was forced to shut down and I am on the hunt for my next game employment).

I've been keeping myself busy with a MOD of the super fun Transformer's table by Stern. TBH I've never been much of a Michael Bay fan and all the Transformers movies missed the mark in their take on the franchise (the exception being Bumblebee which captured more of the feel of the cartoon for me)
 

ANYWAY - I decided to do an Art and visual mod of the Movie table and utilize the look and feel of the G1 show while keeping most of the setup of the original table. JP was kind (as always) to allow me to do this MOD of his version of the Stern table. It plays wonderfully!
 

Here's a screenshot of where it is at so far:

I'm still making adjustments and have an idea or two about how I might enhance it further.

But thanks for looking!

PS - I know everything surrounding VP is open source and free to share, and I wouldn't dream of changing that aspect. But if you like my MOD designs and want to show me some type of appreciation check out my TeePublic site and consider purchasing a T-shirt or Mug or something. Most of the designs are 80s related throwbacks to games or cartoons. TeePublic has regular sales during holidays so you might wait for the sale price to pop up. I don't make very much money off the sales (typically 2-4 bucks depending on the item) but every little bit helps me out as I look for my next employment. I hope i'm not breaking any rules by asking this - admin's please let me know if I am and I'll quickly remove this section!

Many thanks!

This table is looking very nice

I've just submitted the table for approval. You should see it pop up in the VPX Mod section if all goes forward with approval.

Also I'm noting that the ROM required for this table "tf_180" - seems to no longer available via the link in the original JPs Transformers ROM download link. The Stern website throws a 404 error. So either the link is wrong in JPs TF's download here or Stern removed it for some reason. 

Look to my Multimedia Pack for "instructions" on the ROM. 

If you already have JPs TF table in your collection and the table runs then you more than likely already have the required ROM and don't need anything further. Otherwise you may need to scour the interwebs for the "tf_180" rom. It may even still be on the Stern site I just didn't bother looking too deeply for it.

Cheers!
