Hasbro’s official YouTube channel posted Maccadam’s, episode 10 of Transformers: Cyberverse!
Bumblebee remembers MacCadam’s, his favorite hangout on Cyberverse, at three different points in its interesting history…

Episode 6: “Megatron is My Hero”

I know that people want the WFC story to be a cartoon, but we're basically getting that same story now, just with different designs.

Another great episode. Loving the old Cybertron. And Drift! At one point I was expecting a dance competition and Soundwave was going to serve someone haha.
Still moving forward with the show so eventually flashbacks may stop or at least become less frequent. Buuuut if they ever do a "War For Cybertron" direct to media movie thing to tell the chronological order of events of this Universe's Cybertronian war, I'm in.
While hardly a challenge, this is far better than the Machinima series. They even have other non-main characters so there's actually a population on Cybertron.

Loved seeing Wheeljack and Shockwave just hanging out. From seeing this episode, the show is only getting better and better. I hope fans aren't writing it off from the first few episodes.

Meh, at least some cool seekers are in it.

Every time I watch this show, it really feels like something from the 80s. I don't know if it necessarily feels like Transformers but it definitely makes me think of 80s cartoons. Same type of Carefree no consequences vibe

Another great episode. Hopefully this show sticks around for a couple of seasons and Cartoon Network doesn't kill it like TF: Animated.

There are plans for BW, just not it's own show again. CN and Nick aren't interested. So until Netflix or Hulu decide to spring for it, it's off the table. Sorry.

Drift!! Man, I have been mispronouncing Maccadam's wrong all this time. I prefer my pronunciation though. Makka-dams.
I kinda like this show and wanna see where it goes.

I hope Cyberverse leads to a new Beast Wars cartoon.

That was agreat episode! I loved seeing how things deteriorated during the war and bringing Macadam into the mainstream in an awesome way. Him arming up when Megs was about to blast Deadlock was perfect. It\'s nice to also see some actual progress with the modern day plot and I look forward to more Grimlock action soon! Among the random other things of note I liked seeing Wheeljack and Shockwave as friends pre-war as well as Optimus writing Megatron\'s speeches back when they were friends. I\'m still not a big fan of Grimlock\'s voice but I kinda like how they basically gave him Kup\'s storytelling gimmick. I NEED that black and neon green Seeker as an offical figure stat! Soundwave dancing sure was… something. disturbing in some ways but hilarious in others. If anyhting I would\'ve pictured him DJing but dancing with 2 seekers in a psuedo-boy band routine? uh… huh…

My guess is that Maccadam is drawn to be a buffer version of "Rung" for a reason, also related to IDW.

That is why I love Beast Wars.

I think I saw an MW Starscream colored seeker.
Deadend
While that tends to be true, I think in this case MacCadam was running his bar back when the 13 were around too. So I lean more on Alchemist Prime learned a lot from him.

Truly an ALCHEMIST would be leaning towards one who supplies/ serves drinks **cough cough**

Oh, and showing just how (un)familiar I am with the Thirteen, here’s another idea~

I always enjoy when deep TF lore cuts make it into the more mainstream TF media. Loved this episode.
GrimLocke
Holy Elder Scrolls, Lensman, this is a great show!
Now, I’ve gotta agree with Windblade that that was very risky, ‘Bee. You’re not the Wing Gundam!
But, if anyone is still irked by Grimsy’s waxing poetic, this episode leads me to wonder if Kup’s reminiscing and tall tales were just collapsed into Grimsy’s characterization.
Also, this episode looked they updated the renderfarm, though there are a couple moments of mistimed audio, I think.
It took a moment to warm up to, but it was pretty fun as those two seekers joined in.
Alas, I was hoping it would be capped by Soundwave ejecting Ravage and Laserbeak and so on as they join the dance floor, but the dancing Shockling was a cute enough way to end it.
For starters, I never saw the finale of Quantum Leap, though I did see a lot of it when I was a kid—so let’s preserve some of the mystery on that. =D
Let alone trying to work the Langoliers or BSG into here… xD
Anyhow, between memories of Machinima, the runtime, and worries about a lack of diegesis, I had some hesitance, and hopes.
And, now, I really hope season 2 has full half hour 23 minute episodes!
I can give credit to Machinima for the Windblade, Perceptor, Megatron and Grimlock adventures. That was genuinely fun.
Still, I think the Prime Wars Trilogy could probably be sped up and edited down to half its length or even more if there’s less excessive pausing and literal dragging of feet.
Hiro Prime
If Maccadam is one of the 13 in this continuity, I wonder which one he is. (I would like to think maybe Prima but given his future sight he could be Vector Prime.)
TheAmazingBrave
His character model reminds me of Universe Onslaught. Him or the Hardhead repaint might make a good base for a custom.
