I'm not so sure it is Grimlock. I'm sure that's who they're going to go in at finding, but something tells me king of the dinosaurs is more of a reference to a place or a sign that's going to point towards the ark. Either that or it's Grimlock trapped in an animatronic alt mode. He did say he is rather groggy and angry when he comes out of stasis so maybe somebody found them in assume he's just a robot.

I hope Grimlock come with someone else it would speed up this slug.

The guy's been rumored to be one of the Thirteen since 2004. More recently that rumor has pegged him as Alchemist Prime, but remains a rumor despite his design in this show being very much based on Alchemist's design.PerfectVision wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Given the hints, I would think that macadams is perfectly powered I mean Primes are pretty powerful (IDW fiction aside where everything is and always has been...

Does it depend on the particular continuity?

I believe he is referring to the true identity of MacCadam. (Does his identity depend on the continuity), to which I'd say yes. In the original Marvel UK I believe he was simply *just a bartender*, but recently he's been retconned to be a Prime (Alchemist?). Although going by the references to time, and him being able to help BB in his stored memories I thought he would have been Vector prime, but oh well.

Trying not to color this forum with too much negativity. But...That scene got an audible groan from both myself, AND my 12 year old son. It's not often we are on the same page but, let's just say, there are way more negatives to this series from my point of view than positives. Still, I've been a Transformers fan since day one, and I feel obligated to watch pretty much anything for completion sake. My son has been a fan for pretty much his entire life as well, but he's gotten to the age that if he doesn't like something, (i.e. this series), he simply wont watch it. Sometimes, I envy him.

Maccadam is Maccadam. That's all that matters. Anything beyond that is officially supposed to be mystery, rumor, and/or "nudge nudge, wink wink".william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Does what now?william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The guy's been rumored to be one of the Thirteen since 2004.

Y'all see this show's design for Deadlock:
Apparently it was based on a piece of fan art drawn by Guido Guidi, who made a retro-styled design of Deadlock based on the G1 cartoon design of Springer:
I'm doubting it was done with Guidi's consultation, as that very piece of fan art is the first image that comes up in a Google Image search for the G1 Transformer Deadlock:

Nope, Windblade's still alive. She's the focus of the next episode
Also, it took us 12 episodes to see a human. That is a really long time. Sure, Beast Wars took a whole season (Was it Season 2 or 3 when we see Proto-humans?) And Beast Machines took all the way until Thrust's backstory, but this was pretty long.

Or a probe from STARCRAFT,Bee has an electric sword like a zealot.Why not cyberpsychic abilities?Because ONLY Windblade will recieve them.
One sentence for this whole TV serie:"Bee play videogames while Windblade do all the hard work like a mother".Does the targeted audience is the single moms?That's child abuse by the way.I'm open to anything,plurialism would help.
EDIT
They already have psychic attacks,like in the duel beetween Starscream and Optimus.

Um... How? They were pointing out that it's a Stinger. It's actually called a Stinger in one of the episodes.

Combined with the "probe" it really look like a zealot sword,the name don't change that.I remember someone comparing the Shockwave's quadripede to the dragoon.

the 11 minute episode format is the continuation of an experiment by the looks of it from Machinima's cartoon, although the 11 minute episodes here are actually working out pretty well. A lot better than most really.
there hasn't been any word as far as I know of a War For Cybertron: Siege cartoon. This and Rescue Bots Academy are the only 2 TV series in discussion right now

Hello! Welcome to the Boards!
As said above, Siege iis not as far as we know getting a cartoon, this is a subtitle to a Collectors and Kids toyline. Although there might be some connective media down the road, of IDW releases a comic series or a short Machinoma style cartoon websries.
The 10 minite Episode format is nothing new, the Looney Tunes ran in that style decades ago. Its a format being advocated more and more by the TV channels for some reason, although I believe Cybervers is still being put out as a 22mimute block as 2 episodes. (Half hour time slot= 22. Minutes of show and 8 minutes of commercials). One of the supposed claim for the demand is to make things more consumable for kids with "short attention spans" (which I doubt) or more likely more streamable for kids on the go. Mom/Dad can pop in a 10 minute cartoon for the drive to school/BabySitter/Practice, and its over by the time they get there. Hasbro is in this case catering to their market (the tv execs buying the episodes to show) by making the 10 minute episodes channels want rather than the 22 minute episodes we are used to in the action cartoon genre.

Remember those classic 30 minute episodes were only 22 minutes without adds, so half of 22 is 11. The reason why they are 11 minutes is because CN reasons that kids are dumb, so they write to that level of competency mostly with mind numbing comedies that kids can only handle 11 minuets at a time, before their brain explodes, or they lose interest.
This unfortunately doesn't work well for Transformers, even a kid friendly version such as Cyberverse, because you can very clearly tell many of the stories are cut into 2 parts (meant to be full 22 minute episodes). Also there is a paradigm shift going on. Kids are watching media more on their mobile devices now, than actually on cable or satellite TV. Cyberverse airs only one single time per week, some ungodly time on Saturday morning before most of the world is awake, while Teen Titans Go! plays in 3-4 hour blocks!! (not kidding).
In the past this was basically a death sentence for any other decent TV show, but if enough kids watch Transformers on their devices it may get picked up for another season, if not, it will go away and be a mere footnote if anything, in animation history.

Also I'm glad I'm not the only one who wish they go to the 22 mintue mark. Some shows don't do well with the 11 mintue timeframe.

Not in CYBERVERSE if you count the magical helix of Windblade,kind of similar.

10 and 11 were awesome episodes, deserve some kind of award, episode 12 fell a bit out, and 13 I hope leads into something bigger, Maccadam's is my favorite of this series so far though.
Seeing how evil Shockwave's altered idea of Bumblebee's past was, is one of the most traumatizing things I've seen in a show for kids this young
It would be like if Rescue Bots suddenly had Batman Beyond level stuff in it.
