TRANSFORMERS Shadows Rising is the long-awaited follow up to the smash hit licenced video game TRANSFORMERS Human Alliance and features iconic locations from all over the world.

With the new BUMBLEBEE movie debuting this holiday season, we think Amusements Expo International was the ideal time to launch TRANSFORMERS Shadow Rising so operators can have the game in time for the film release.”
This latest title features a sensational cabinet, which is based on the truck vehicle mode of the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime. With gorgeous chrome exhausts, big grill and lifelike Optimus Prime head it is designed to stand out in any location.
The game has 4 levels all displayed on a 55” monitor. As well as the fixed controllers, players can use the brand new ‘Hyperenergy Tech’ lever to either tactically destroy multiple enemies at once or defend against difficult enemy attack moves.
Keeping with the video theme, SEGA also exhibited its other high income generating games such as Daytona Championship USA. With its cutting-edge cabinet design, superior game handling, panoramic attract sequence, and instant re-match feature; Daytona continues to feature the top of operator’s buying list. Having tested exceptionally well in two USA test locations Target Bravo: Operation Ghost is a high-octane action adventure game with many tactical missions for players to complete. Featured in a 55” atmospheric theatre cabinet and free movement controller this game delivers quality game-play. For operators short on space Target Bravo is also available in an upright cabinet. Well established video games Luigi’s Mansion Arcade, Let’s Go Island Dream Edition were also on stand.
Leading the way with unique redemption games that players love, SEGA presented Pirate Falls, a brand-new pirate-themed redemption game. Using the unique barrel controller, that rolls left to right; players must keep the pirate balanced to collect treasures that fall down the waterfall and think quickly to avoid bombs. Players can win the super ticket bonus by collecting the letters to spell “Pirates”.
Another new mechanical redemption game on stand was Maze Escape. In this game players have to balance, juggle and manoeuvre a ball through the maze by rotating the super-sized wheel to land the ball in the bonus zone. Players can also win other ticket values when they get the ball through one of six other win zones.
The SEGA sales team would like to thank all guests that visited Sega’s stand at Amusements Expo.

Probably because the original text is still not finalised, and might not suitable for certain demographics?

Same Here! Spend tons of money jus to beat it lol!!! I usually play at my local D&B as well as that machine is well kept. Another machine I've used was at a cinema a little far from where I live but unfortunately only one of the guns was working. I also wanted to play the non-cabinet version I came across in Universal Studios Orlando but didn't have time that day
I'm very excited for a sequel but not digging this new cabinet look. It does not have the streamlined flow of the Bee design. This feels… forced in design.

It reminds me of the G1 episode where the Bots were all having trouble transforming and Dinobots had to go back to Cybertron to retrieve something.

Anyone know why they blocked out with a circle on the top right hand corner of the pic?
That's the same guy in the TR Devastator pic from a toy fair a few year's back.

Sorry, here\'s the pic

I saw this at the Amusement Expo in Vegas last week. Didn\'t realize it was a big deal. Not many people were lining up to play it. The TMNT game coming out looked way more fun.

WhY mY aLt MoDe Hurt?
We don't even have arcades in my area any more, and the best Sega game I've played recently is Persona 5…still, good for those who enjoy these. I want another proper console Transformers game, though…
supernova222
wait, so whats the story line here? continued from human alliance? based on AOE/TLK?
Darkprime
I wish these arcade shooters could come home to consoles.

Does it come with a black and white Ravage?

Meh. I thought it was a sequel to Devastation.

News Post: Official Press Release For Transformers: Shadows Rising Arcade Game By Sega

I\'m definitely looking forward to this. Human Alliance was something I\'d almost always stop by to beat when at Dave and Busters and this is coming from someone who isn\'t that much of a fan of rail shooters. Seeing this gets me surprisingly excited.

Neat! My wife and I really enjoyed playing Human Alliance together at the local Round 1. (She was sad that we were forced to kill Skywarp, her favorite Decepticon character since G1, during one of the missions.) Hoping this new game is just as fun!

I played Human Alliance once and enjoyed it. The only place near me that has it is a Dave and Busters.
Scowly Prowl
It's… ok.
Trip2boy
Looks like fun. Also, Sideswipe is back! I never got to play Human Alliance, so this should be a cool new experience if I can find a place that has it.

Hope it comes to Chuck E Cheese because that is the only place where games like this are worth playing. I don't feel like paying $100 to get through an arcade game.
THA is a cool game but most arcades by me charge $1.50 per credit, some over $2. It just isn't worth paying that much for a few minutes of playtime. I laughed when I saw Time Crisis 5 and the $4 worth of credits it took to play it once. Maybe if it were possible to beat the game with one credit. I could beat the original Time Crisis with one $.50 credit.
And they wonder why arcades are dead in America.
Rated X
I hear you man. I grew up on games like double dragon, legend of zelda, and contra. So once they started making games that looked too real I lost interest. Especially those games where you see through the characters eyes…I hated that. I like to see the little man lol.
