The Machine: Bride of Pin-Bot is a pinball machine released by Williams Electronics in 1991. Designed by Python Anghelo and John Trudeau, this game is the second in the Pin-Bot series and is known for its unique theme and innovative gameplay. Theme and Design: The game centers around a female robot, known as “The Machine, ” who players must bring to life. The playfield is dominated by the robot, which starts in a semi-completed state. The artwork is vibrant and futuristic, featuring detailed depictions of robotic elements and space-themed visuals. The backglass showcases The Machine in various stages of her transformation. Flippers: Two main flippers to control the ball. Multiball Modes: The game features a two-ball multiball mode, which begins once players lock two balls as The Machine’s “eyes, ” enabling her to see. Metamorphosis: Players must activate The Machine’s voice circuits and eyes, then cause her to metamorphose into a human female by making shots up the left ramp. This transformation is a key part of the gameplay and adds a unique narrative element. Sound and Music: The game includes voiceovers by Stephanie Rogers as The Machine and features a memorable soundtrack by Dan Forden. The sound effects and music enhance the immersive experience. Rotating Box: A rotating box on the playfield displays The Machine’s various facial states, adding to the visual and gameplay complexity. Heartbeat Ramp: Hitting the Heartbeat Ramp four times triggers a huge combo, and players can aim for the 1 billion point shot to join the Billionaire’s Club. Small and Big Wheel: The game includes a Small Wheel and a Big Wheel that award random prizes and bonuses, adding an element of unpredictability. Production and Popularity: Approximately 8,100 units of The Machine: Bride of Pin-Bot were produced, making it a relatively common but highly regarded machine among pinball enthusiasts. Its combination of innovative features, engaging gameplay, and thematic elements has kept it popular over the years. All pinball machines listed are currently IN STOCK and ready to sell.
