The [[Decepticon]]s developed the '''cortical psychic patch''' during the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]]. It is a procedure through which the mind of one [[Transformer]] can be joined with another, using a cable connected directly between the two Transformers' brains. The procedure was banned by the [[Autobot]]s, though there are a substantial number of texts on the subject available to interested Autobot medics.

With [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] infected with [[cybonic plague]] and time short, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] decided to try the procedure, though he had never previously attempted it himself. He talked [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] through setting up a cortical psychic patch between [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], who at the time was lying comatose in the [[Nemesis (Prime)|Decepticon warship]]. The procedure succeeded, inserting Bumblebee into the replication of [[Kaon]] constructed by Megatron's subconscious, and Bumblebee was able to interact with Megatron and retrieve the formula for the plague cure. Arcee then disconnected the patch, but Megatron was able to use the dying connection to jump into Bumblebee's head. {{storylink|Sick Mind}} Megatron subsequently returned to the ''Nemesis'' in Bumblebee's body and used the patch to return to his own form as he revived it with a shard of [[Dark Energon]]. {{storylink|Out of His Head}}

==Notes==
*The cortical psychic patch resembles [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]'s tentacles, though thinner.
