Autobots roll out!
This great table has been in the hands of many before I touched it.
gtxjoe and freneticamnesic made the first version in VP 9.9.
JPSalas made the VPX version.
HauntFreaks made the detail mod.
UnclePaulie brought JP's version into VR.
SG1bsoN made the lighting mod based of HauntFreaks version.
And this mod started out as SG1bsoN's version
It has branched off so much from the first VPX version.
JP also kept on updating and innovating his version.
So I decided to try to merge it all back into this VR-hybrid version.
I have learned a lot from the VPW Example Table and had so much help, guidance and feedback from the very best!
Perfect pairing with backglass made by HauntFreaks

This mod contains the following improvements:
RobbyKingPin:
- nFozzy/RothbauerW physics,Fleep sound and VPW Dynamic Ball Shadows added
- VPW Options UI with LUT and a great amount of customized items to choose
- Flupper Domes plus extra options like the new PWM flashers added with help from Apophis (PWM requires VPinMame 3.6 but the table will still run in 3.5 on simpler modulated flashers)
- More light tweaks to more modern standards based on JP's settings
- Added an extra trigger on the Allspark saucer to let the ball roll over at high velocity, thanks to gtxjoe for the tip
- Adjusted the height on a non working switch on the left ramp
- Left ramp adjusted height suggested by Apophis
- Right ramp slightly adjusted width for cleaner shots suggested by Sixtoe
- Inlane speed limiters, code created by Wylte and copied from VPW's Johnny Mnemonic
- New ball image HDR and scratches based on VPW's tables
- Added new hit animation on Optimus Prime (v.2.0.1)
- Fixed a few sound issues, some were clashing with Fleep sound (v.2.0.1)
- Lowered the Mudflap and Skids targets (v.2.0.1)
TastyWasps:

- Changed light settings based on chokeee's settings on Elvis

HauntFreaks:

HayJay:

Nestorgian:

fluffhead35 (v.2.0.1):
- Updated the hit events on the end ramps. Changed the materials on both end ramps. Adjusted right end ramp to be like left end ramp.
- Added Ball Drop sound on right ramp
- Fixed the options menu from showing on the textbox, thanks to apophis
- Added hit sound to metal wire below flipper.
With all these updates I really recommend to use VPX 10.8 and VPinMame 3.6 but it should be possible to use older versions VPX 10.7.3 and VPinMame 3.5
