Pinball Machines

The machine: bride of pinbot. Williams electronic games, incorporated, a subsidiary of wms ind. The machine: bride of pinbot pinball by williams! She’s a woman of the ’90’s. Clever, imaginative, playful - really put together. Turn the machine on and you’ll marvel at her fabulous features! She comes to life before players’ eyes! The first shot up the shuttle ramp to her mouth spins her head and activates her vocal circuits. Two balls to her eyes give her another turn for the better and enable her to see, starting 2-ball multi-ball. During multi-ball play, 2 balls to her neck turn her head for an amazing transformation that gives her life.

Finally, during multi-ball, repeating the shot sequence spins the big wheel for the largest scoring awards in pinball history! During multi-ball, all playfield values double and the small wheel becomes.

Pin-bot watches his bride’s metamorphosis from a challenging mini-playfield. By shooting up the shuttle ramp when lit, players can score 100,000, 200,000, 300,000 or 600,000 points and light extra ball. Leaving by the right exit increases the skill shot multiplier for fast-paced, high-scoring excitement. The machine is what the title says, a machine, a female robot. She is pin bot’s bride (hence the subtitle), so there are similarities in the theme: like pinbot, she must be awakened by the player, but she must also be transformed into a human (or something close to that).

The initial message that is displayed in attract mode sums this up with a few words: make me live, make me sing, make me feel like a woman… It sounds alluring and a little erotic, and the fun part is that the game is indeed spiced with some mildly erotic voice samples and graphics. If you look at the artwork on the backglass and cabinet, you instantly see how the designers wanted to give her a full female look, especially around the legs. Why she is built by astronauts in space is beyond me, but the combination of space and a huge cyborg coming to life makes for a nice playfield design which gives you a very sci-fi-like atmosphere. If you listen to the sounds and especially the music, this atmosphere is enhanced because the sound is very special in this game.

Using the traditional sample and synthesis system for audio, williams created a mind-blowing soundtrack that cannot really be placed anywhere. It’s neither rock nor techno, it’s somewhere between the two, but there is a pop flavour to it as well. In general, the objective of the game is to awaken the machine (or the bride, whatever you call her) by transforming her into a human in four stages, presented by her changing face in the head at the top of the playfield.

Make sure you are talking to their pinball division. I added additional photos of the machine today and lowered the price!!! She is in good working condition and has been professionally serviced with new bumpers and switches tuned.
All the electronics and ramps work. The metamorphosis head unit functions perfectly.

If the legs are removed i would recommend applying wood glue to prevent the cabinet from splitting. Having said that, the machine is fully functional with no major damage and a great bargain for anyone who just wants a great bop to play or anyone who desires to restore her to mint condition.

The bop is a very special game. The artwork is brilliant and the process of turning the sexy female robot into a singing woman is genius. This is my favorite pinball machine of all time and it hurts to sell it but do not have the space to keep it.
