PRIMUS | STERN PINBALL | 2018

Le 23 novembre 2018, Stern Pinball publie une vidéo de présentation d’une machine inattendue : un flipper consacré à Primus, le groupe de rock américain emmené par le chanteur et bassiste Les Claypool. Il ne s’agit pas d’un grand projet sous licence décliné en Pro, Premium et Limited Edition, mais d’une série très limitée, née de la passion de deux artistes proches du groupe.

Primus réutilise la base de Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons, déjà re-thématisée deux ans plus tôt pour The Pabst Can Crusher. Le plateau de Dennis Nordman est conservé à l’identique ; c’est l’univers visuel et sonore du groupe qui transforme la machine.

Un projet d’artistes

Le flipper est l’œuvre de Zombie Yeti, de son vrai nom Jeremy Packer, et de Zoltron, curateur artistique de Primus depuis de longues années et créateur de pochettes pour le groupe. Les deux artistes ont consacré plus de cent heures à la direction artistique et aux illustrations de la machine.

Le groupe explique avoir choisi un plateau classique pour que cette ménagerie visuelle capte immédiatement l’attention du joueur. Les Claypool résume l’événement avec humour : être immortalisé dans un flipper lui donne enfin l’impression d’avoir réussi.

Le plateau de Whoa Nellie!

La disposition du playfield est identique à celle de Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons. Primus conserve également les compteurs de score mécaniques à moteur pas à pas de la machine d’origine, qui donnent au jeu son caractère rétro malgré une électronique moderne.

Treize morceaux de Primus

La machine propose treize morceaux classiques du groupe. Pour leur rendre justice, chaque exemplaire est équipé d’un système audio Kenwood amélioré.

Cabinet et finitions

Primus se reconnaît à son armure vert vif sur tout le pourtour du cabinet et à sa tige de lanceur personnalisée. Chaque machine est signée à la main par les trois membres du groupe et reçoit une plaque métallique d’authenticité gravée individuellement, placée sous la vitre.

108 machines

La série est limitée à 108 exemplaires. Cent machines sont destinées à la vente, au prix de 7 995 dollars, tandis que huit sont réservées aux membres du groupe, aux deux artistes et à la société de licence. Les plaques d’authenticité indiquent d’ailleurs une édition limitée à 100 machines, le chiffre commercial de la série.

Avec l’accord des représentants du groupe, Stern indique que la fabrication a commencé en décembre 2018 et que les livraisons ont débuté le même mois, pour atteindre la quantité annoncée de 108 machines.

SPIKE 1 jusqu’au bout

En 2018, Stern produit déjà ses grandes nouveautés sur SPIKE 2. Primus reste pourtant sur SPIKE 1, comme Whoa Nellie! et The Pabst Can Crusher, puisqu’il reprend directement leur plateforme. Il fait partie, avec Supreme, des deux dernières machines Stern de la première génération SPIKE.
