You know the bar is good when the bartender is basically a demigod.
It's got to feel good to have a theory/thoughtpiece you made included in canon in the future. That's the dream right there.
So true, imagine having your own theory be incorporated into future shows/movies/games/comics
i think he is a prime

Must. Resist. Urge. To. Like.
@@Zenith-SMK Good job
Glad I could give you the opportunity to talk about what has to be your biggest contribution to Transformers canon!
Boy, that was a weird day!
Thank you so much! I've been wanting so much more info about him and his bar. Appreciate it!
@@ChrisMcFeely please do maccadam next
@@ChrisMcFeely please make the basic on barricade
@@OAnalista-l9g yeah
I love the idea of a Prime giving up his position of power so he can be just a regular dude, living with the common folks and make drinks for everyone.
I love that trope
reminds me of velika from bionicle
@@im_ener Eh, Velika had a more devious agenda; but he was responsible for giving the inhabitants of Mata Nui's robotic body life. Also, in an alternate timeline, he was one of six Matoran chosen by Takanuva to receive his power and become new Toa,
Yeah it makes him a lot cooler than being just a god
Imagine Megatronus giving up his position because he is enough of war and desides go fishing and live with solus
6:30 Wait, you were a WHAT?!
This ENTIRE segment of the lore was YOUR idea?! HOLY SCRAP, THAT'S INCREDIBLE!
Well, it was a half-joking suggestion based on tenuous evidence. But if there's one thing Transformers fans are good at, it's latching onto hints and rumors and turning them into canon.
7:37 Sir, you didn't just find a plausible candidate for Maccadam: you found the PERFECT candidate!
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Well then, I'll throw the idea about Liege Maximo having ties to Pretender technology(See comments on Chris' video om him) into the pot. Fingers crossed.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio I think the same can be said for all types of fans. For example, Disney made a cartoon series, 101 Dalmatian Street, which tells the story of a new modern 101 Dalmatians, the mother of which is the great great granddaughter of Pongo and Perdita. Many fans have theorized that two of the main puppies; DJ, a chill musician boy, and Da Vinci, an expressionistic painter girl, share a close bond because they each specialize in a type of art. Some have paired them as a couple, while others have just considered them to have a close sibling bond. Either way, the final scene of the last episode of the show's only season shows DJ and Da Vinci vibing to music from DJ's headphones together. It's pretty adorable.
What I like the most about the Maccadam/Alchemist Prime version is both that he was simply mingling with the "mortals", but also that when push came to shove and he was forced to transform into his alternate mode, it was so alien and terrifying *even to the transformers themselves* that neither side dared to break his rule of No Fighting in his bar.
I'm gonna be honest, before your show my entire knowledge of Transformers was limited to the Animated and Prime tv shows, the live action movies, and some childhood memories of when my cousin would put on the old G1 cartoon for me to watch when he babysat me. There are so many characters, ideas, and plotlines I never knew existed until I found this channel. Funnily enough, after your Primes video where you mentioned Alchemist being "a bit of a drinker" and in other videos you mentioned Maccadam's Old Oil House and how it was pretty much neutral territory during the war, I instantly had my own headcanon that Alchemist has to run the establishment or at least be connected to it in such a way that everyone respects it as a neutral ground. Now I see that headcanon is, at least in some continuities, true.
Yep, in the Handbook it said that it was rumored that the bartender was one of the original primes
Dracorexion Ouranos G1 is on demand
Dracorexion Ouranos exactly the same for me
Maccadam's is just Moe's Tavern for Cybertronians, run by Thew Adams if he were a Cybertronian.
Pretty accurate, i'd say.
Maccadams "Maccadam speaking"
Liege Maximo "yes hello, I'm looking for a friend of mine, his first name is Copper, and his last name is But"
Maccadams "hang on a sec, Copper But?, I Am Look for a Copper But!"
everyone in the Bar "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Maccadams "wait a minute, Liege is that you?!, I told you not to call this place again, and now your banned for two more Stellar Cycle from my bar
Liege Maximo hang up "haha, worth it"
I kinda want to see a movie/show/episode based on this.
True
@@twilightjester5672 "Call this place one more time, and I'm gonna rip out your optics and attach them to your aft, so you can watch as I beat the slag out of you!"
To quote Homer Simpson
“To alcohol, the cause and solution to all of life’s problems.
Cheers, il drink to that
🍻
“Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name 🎶🎵”
Making your way through the war today, takes everything you got,
Not getting shot by a former friend, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't it by nice to get a drink...
Sometimes you want to go
Where every bot can be your friend.
And your insigna is just a mark.
Go to a place where energons cheap, and bots and cons mean nothing.
I wanna go where I can get a Hot drink
Makin' your way on a quest today takes everythin' you got
Takin' a break from all that war stuff sure has helped a lot
Maybe one day we'll find the knights
But 'til then you wanna go
Down to D Deck and to Swerve's
You'll have more fun than you deserve
You wanna go where Megs won't go
Where the drinks all taste the same
You wanna go where Ten can't even say your name
I know this is Swerve's'/Swearth's Theme Song and not Maccadam's Old Oil House's Theme Song but I couldnt resist
Dude I love Cheers. I've been binge watching it for weeks. Lots of nostalgia.
"That's B127 signal!"
"Can you trace it?"
"Already did."
@@WhysoSeriousSamual you are amazing
Wow so you basically came up with Mac being Alchemist! Your contribution is immortalized in Cyberverse!
He is Alchemist Prime. Read the Covenant of Primus. Macadams's ability to foresee things is Alchemist Prime's ability.
@@marcushicks380 Yes, but it was mr. McFeely himself who first came up with the idea that Maccadam was Alchemist Prime.
marcus hicks yeah but Chris said he came up with that for Ask Vector Prime, which came first.
I have been following the story since it was pinched in the Ultimate guide, then I learned about the Original stories in the Marvel Comics, then asked Vector Prime. I rejoiced when I saw this in the Transformers Cyberverse show!
Diego S now the question is should we bring back iaconus
Quite suprisied he didnt bring up the fact that Cyberverse Maccadam looks like Thew
Who?
@@tracytron7162 Thew Adams, he is a RUclipsr who focuses on transformers
@@tracytron7162 Look up Thew's Awesome Transformers Reviews. You're in for a treat.
Probably because it's more than likely just a coincidence. Thew only just recently hit 50,000 subscribers. I was surprised to realize he isn't more well known than that, and his Cyberverse design was probably finalized at a time when a few Hasbro employees knew OF Thew, but probably not a lot of them watched his videos.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Vangelus has less than 45k NOW and he was in Animated so like
I can't imagine how it must feel to have contributed something so important to modern Transformers lore. Great episode!
Come to MacAdam’s, MacAdam’s is fun, come right now, don’t walk. Run!
Commenting before I watch, but I love the idea of MacAdam’s. Goes ways in defining the Transformers as fully living beings that do other stuff besides waging battles to destroy each other. Though I briefly remembered it in Animated, it came back to the forefront for me when you mentioned it in the Basics of Quickswitch.
I understood that reference.
And talk yobborobbo with ThewAdams!
You forgot a C.
Does MacAdam's met humans before? Cause I'm a human...
Chris, if there's one thing being part of this fandom has taught me, if there is some obscure hint, rumor, or theory posited by a big name fan, it will eventually get included as canon.
I'll always have the deepest respect for the character of Maccadam, especially in Cyberverse. If I were a Cybertronian, and I needed a drink, his Old Oil House would definitely be the first place I go to. :)
When war wears you down, nothing gets the gears turning like Maccadam's finest fuel. There's no drink like it on Cybertron, or in the entire galaxy! So good that enemies will lay down their weapons and sit down near for a few hours just to have it.
Megatron:those were the good old days on Cybertron didn't have to sneak around
... in ugly Earth disguises.
I REMEMBER!
Good ol' Cybertron, planet of metal moons! *Blegh* (crash)
I thought he said "this ugly @ss disguises"
@@twistedgaming9185 am i the only one that thought he said "ugly ass disguises"
"Where every bit knows your name."
Hoist: Hey everyone
The bar: Hoist!
Hot Shot: Beautiful day isn't it Mr. Hoist?
Hoist: It will be once I have mug of Energeon in me.
I wonder if this bar exsist in rescue bot version, would the student able to get in with their mentor to have a drink?
Sorry, PERCEPTOR took over The Old Oil House? Something feels off about that.
Sometimes the best ideas and inspirations can happen when you’re drunk, so Perceptor taking over can make sense.
I also thought that was weird, especially when you look at his IDW incarnation who was one of the few on the Lost Light who did not get drunk. Even the whole socializing bit is not really a part of his character. The only thing I can think of is that he was concerned that Hot Rod would take over and that would be pure chaos.
he isn't as powerful
Yeah...it doesn’t hold up under a microscope 😏
maybe he was studying his oil to make it as perfect as possible.
Ah, the true tried and tested equalizer regardless of species or faction: *booze*
Actually as proven by WW2, Soda is the most common unifying drink of choice in times of war. Even the Nazis drank Coca-Cola.
Are you Boomstick from Death Battle?
As Homer Simpson put it: To Alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems
👁️👄👁️
and the threat of vivisection
I love these kinds of episodes. Maccadam was a name that I was familiar with, having browsed TFWiki regularly over the years and I remembered when Ratchet name dropped the place in Animated but here is when I learned all the juicy details.
Wow, this is incredible. I remember hearing about the bar in the Ultimate Guide, but I never knew where it came from. I am equally amazed at how it has developed. Just like Nightbird, the smallest single things in G1 can influence things for years to come. Can't wait for your next video.
A toast to "The Basics" partying on at Maccadam's Old Oil House!
Its 5AM and I was about to go to sleep then Chris Mcfeely just had to post a basics video.
Dang it now I cant sleep
Me either
Same here
alcoholic oil will do that to you.
Imagine if there were scottish transformers they would be drinking down whole barrels of oil
Many fans interpret IDW Skids as scottish. Soooo...I hope?
What about Bulkhead and Constructicons from Animated?
Would that make the Junkions Cockneys?
@023 Studios i cannot agree more
@023 Studios Actually no. I'm russian and we don't drink too much. Today is may 9. The day of Victory over Germany. And I haven't seen anybody drinking yet.
no one:
Hot Rod in almost every continuity: oops looks like i got someone killed
"Ah, those were the good ol' days, back on Cybertron...Didn' hafta...sneak around in these...ugly Earth disguises, heh..."
Since best scene in all of G1. Especially when they try to stand up to fight, then stumble into each other and fall over.
Followed by Laserbeak spinning out of control and crash landing, because someone gave the bird a drink too.
Classic!
"GO CYBERTRON! Land of the metal rule."
Maccadam: “Skywarp, how do you keep getting in here?”
Skywarp: “I’m a drunk, I don’t know nothing about anything.”
*Maccadam throws Skywarp out, only for Skywarp to appear behind him*
(Sung to Cheers themesong)
Making your way in a war today takes everything you got...
If there was a place to wipe away your faction....sure would help a lot...
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you wanna go where time is totally out of phase
And you won't get blasted in the face
You wanna be where cybertronians drink
And having fusion cannons aren't a crime
Possibly though, the owner is Alchemist Prime..
I just saw the cyberverse episode and it's crazy seeing all the Decepticons and Autobots just hanging out and having a good time would love to see a series that shows more of that before the war.
Plus Soundwave my dog has some moves!!!
Not gonna lie, after seeing you on Twitter, I was half expecting this entire episode to be incoherent screaming about birds making noise
Neat video
I don't watch the Transformers Cyberverse cartoon, but I will definetely collect the toys to form MacCadam! Thanks Chris!
I loved macadam’s character in cyberverse.
Any story: Rumor has it...
That’s code for “This is how it is.” I don’t think I’ve ever read a story where old rumors didn’t have a grains of truth in them.
Gl, Primal and Armada Prime sharing a drink together huh...sounds jolly!
I want fanart of that.
How does G1 Prime drink without a mouth?
1:17. The BASICS on Squadron X & The Mayhem Attack Squad.
Transformers lore is Amazing.
There's got to be at least one real-life Maccadam's Old *Ale* House somewhere in the world. That's a great name for a pub, bar, restuarant, etc.
On a side note, why weren't there more books after Retribution? There's still a millions-of-years gap between Retribution and Prime. There could've been a lot more Aligned stories.
Hasbro can't stick to anything for that long except G1 Rescue Bots and MLP FIM
That is amazing. As a theorycrafter myself, I know the love of putting things together to make sense of it all. But you have taken it one step further. Your idea got canonized by the staff, something I've yet to achieve. What did it feel like when you first realized it? When you saw him for the first time in Cyberverse, were you like "holy crap, they're really doing this!?" Props to you good sir. props to you.
Out of all the videos I've seen so far this one is my new favourites.
Great video as always. Question for all us Transformers fans....Simon Furman had so many great ideas for Transformers so why does no one bring him in as a consultant on any of the movies?
Ikr
Man I really want to watch the Cyber verse series now
You can watch on dailymotion
As well as on Kisscartoon.nz
It is on the official Transformers youtube channel, though those episodes are a few weeks behind.
Seasons 1 and 2 are on youtube and about 1/4 of Season 3
Angelina Pax has a VK.com link that has all season 3
Samuel Richards oh I didn’t realize RUclips was behind and was wondering how everyone knew spoilers for it already.
I had no idea you'd contributed to Transformers lore this way, Chris! I thought you just relayed it to us all in a delightful way. That's great, man!
Another enjoyable video. :)
I haven't watched cyberverse yet, but I've found a new reason to.
I had watched it it’s good but look I gotta be honest bumblebees friend ship is awesome 😎
I now want to watch that scene just because that’s funny as hell.
This really give me the continental hotels vibe from the John Wick movies, a safehaven for everyone good or evil
Maccadam's Old Oil House is basically the Moe's Tavern of Transformers...
Only with better service
@@mcpics4448 and less sarcasm and shotguns...
And the one to prank him is Blurr.
I bet thew's happy about this
6:53 that image of Alchemist does look like cyberverse McAdam
6:31) CHRIS WAS WHAT?! *slams the table*
9:16) CHRIS PLEASE INFORM OF THE SPOILER NEXT TIME
Dang why does Hot Rod always get someone killed
Cliffjumper better keep his distance
"Transformers like a drink"
-I sure do
Did...Did ye invent Mordern McAdam? Kinda Sorta?
Indirectly! Sort of!
Probably
@@ChrisMcFeely Was that before or after you met Thew? Lol
@@ChrisMcFeely Please say you based him on Thew Adams.
Comments from a day ago? But it's just got released?
Awesome episode tho 👌
Possibly comments from people who got early access.
Patreon supporters get to see it Friday.
If Maccadam was a human celebrity, he would be MaccADAM WEST the Iriginal Batman. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Or thew adams
@@nightlypiano41 He has the beard.
I'm secretly convinced Thew is a Prime and Maccadam's alt-mode.
@@Levitz9 Plot twist: Thew is Maccadam disguised as a Human
@@Levitz9 so the shadow in cyberverse is thew with a bunch of rocket launchers?
