They've been posting pics of it on facebook today. Not exactly sure what's going on in the before/after playfield pics.

Xiaou2:
I have to say... that looks SOOOOOO much better with actual comic art, than those horrible photographic cut and paste jobs they usually do.

Surprise Surprise.

Yea, full playfield pictures already?? I really hope they tested and work out the kinks before fully releasing it. Transformers was kind of awful out of the box. Lots of ball searches and crazy air balls.....

The before and after pics are meant to show the moving bridge (ramp).

TOK:
I don't see how that moving ramp clears the sling and spotlight. I didn't plan on buying this one, but I was very interested in how much Stern would up their game with some competition. I think it looks pretty bad... There isn't much to do, the gigantic Wolverine looks silly (Magneto isn't as bad due to its location) and only the LE gets what will likely be the coolest feature -the magnetic spinner.

Comments are all over the map on this, but its definitely not the home run people were expecting based on Stern using drawn comic art.

Xiaou2:
Its too difficult to really make out the flow of the game.

 But it does look interesting.   The moving ramp is a dud though, Imo.  It looks cheesy, and does not really add any excitement or value.

 If it were me, Id make a thin plastic ice rail gapping the field, and use a diverter to a make the ball go down its pathway.

 The rails would be two thin metal wires (or a simpsons V rail), with molded plastic icicles covering the underside of it.. and lit up with blue LEDs when active.

 Edit:  Hmmm, maybe silicone icicles would be better.  Less likely to be broken with airballs.

 Edit2: Ohh, and Magneto is a great character for Pinball.  If he is backed with a high power magnet and or kicker... to both capture and or Send the ball rocketing towards you... that would really be cool.

 However, if they cheap out and use those stupid adams family random magnet toys... then forget it.


 Edit3: Hmm, nice, seems to share some features and qualities with Med.Madness.
There looks to be pop up enemies.  (I recognize one of the ramps as well)  And some of the shots look similar.
