IPDB An animation feature is found under a dark tinted window in the middle of the playfield. It is called the "Regenerator" and it holds the "Lifeforce". When "Lifeforce" is lit, a full-stroke shot on the vari-target launches the unveiling of the Lifeforce robot. This sequence uses an onslaught of flashers around the robot and behind the translite, to the music of Bach's Toccatta & Fugue (as found on Gottlieb's 1982 'Haunted House'). used
ipdb.notes
IPDB Designer John Trudeau tells us that this game was inspired by the 1927 German film 'Metropolis'. Artist Don Marshall told us he did the black-and-white photographic translite and the brochures and magazine advertisements. Larry Day told us he did the art for the playfield and cabinet, and Ken Hale tinted the translite with photo oils to add color. used
