Sega Amusements has made an official statement couple of days ago stating that Transformers: Human Alliance Arcade Game is now released.
“Of all the current licensed titles available as video games, none has the broad demographic appeal enjoyed by Transformers,” said SEGA COO and President, Paul Williams. “Transformer’s is a brand that’s perfect for our industry; it’s family-friendly while still appealing to teens and young adults.”To ensure supply will meet demand, SEGA has begun production on both sides of the Atlantic. “We’ve got factories in the US and UK producing Transformers so we’re able to service the needs of our markets as quickly and economically as possible,” continued Williams. “Our distributors will find a ready supply of product available to meet what is sure to be very high demand for an extraordinary title.”
Transformers – Human Alliance is now available in two configurations. Both are available now.
Transformers – Human Alliance 42” Deluxe. – Two-player up-right game with fixed position blasters.
Transformers – Human Alliance 55″ Theatre – Two player sit-down environmental theatre game.
Vending Times also states the following:
The Dave and Buster’s premiere, held in a venue popular with amusement industry showgoers, was a great success, according to Sega Amusements general manager Peter Gustafson. It took a good deal of planning, he explained, but showcased Sega’s capabilities for effective fun center design.
“With Transformers, we wanted to create awareness that went well beyond simply placing the game on a trade show floor and hoping people played it,” Gustafson said. “We wanted our promotion to have an impact, to ’cause the pause.'”
Sega called the management team at Dave and Buster’s to propose using the restaurant on Orlando’s International Drive as a backdrop to promote the launch of Transformers–Human Alliance. The D&B’s management team liked the idea, Gustafson reported, but insisted that whatever styling Sega implemented had to complement the location, not detract from it.

Wait what? A Bumblebee cabinet? People want you to get in Bumblebee's cabinet?!?

If this machine is already in arcades, I'll check my local Dave and Busters to see if they have it.

I want to be excited about this game, but I can't. Maybe if the cabinet had a little more yellow, I could be enticed to give it a try.

Looks like I'll be taking a trip to Dave & Buster's! Hope the game is good.

I know the voice work is terrible, but I still wouldn't mind a home release on the new systems, with a G1 Shockwave light gun.

I played this six months ago and conquered it in five min.

A proper arcade cabinet is supposed to be gaudy, as the idea is to draw attention, and customers, to the thing.
prime0821
where are these arcade games located??
Raiju
Welcome to the BB S&M Dungeon, we've got fun and games.
Despite how gaudy the damn exterior looks, the wife and I may play it if we ever run across it in Japan or something.

Needs a stronger Bumblebee themed cabinet. Blind, deaf mutes 50 feet away wearing sun glasses MIGHT miss it.

Aw, look how cute it looks trying to be a good and descent arcade game,

I don't know why, but I keep expecting this to be on the Wii.
Bahamut Prime
Played it and it was fun! Despite the difference in voice actors…
It Is Him
That would explain why it's not in the Jax Dave and busters yet.
FanimusMaximus

Citricon
