Stern teases Transformers, then leaks it themselves (code name: Cheddar). Plus, new teases from Pedretti and World Pinball, and Paul Melio's debut feature on Pinforge.
Two weeks of pinball compressed into one issue. The Team Pinball/Pedretti split, five new contributor pieces, and a quiet IFPA recovery worth watching.
Sonic's playfield leaked, and JJP is trolling the clue-hunters. Plus a Licensing Expo rumor dump, a surprise Resident Evil update, and three new contributor pieces.
