Which is interesting because we were specifically told that the PTUs were made with special casing to ensure that the projector sees little-to-no wear-and-tear. During the first year of operation, the PTUs would break down more often than the VTUs simply because the system was a bit more complex to cater even moreso to the fragile nature of the projectors.Wear and tear...
It's not an issue with the bulbs themselves. A dull bulb will the projector dimmer, but it shouldn't alter the projector's output so that it turns green. Transformers uses DLP projectors which use color wheels to render a picture. Constant movement can damage these wheels, which require more than a simple bulb replacement to fix.
Regardless, there's a lot of variables in play and simple fixes are rarely the solution. If these projectors simply needed new bulbs, you can bet Universal would have replaced them by now.
Still, I guess even with those extra measures, the projectors simply couldn't the minimal amount of actual movement felt. That doesn't explain the scene 9 problem many have reported here... that's just probably a lack of maintenance.
