- Cortical psychic patches are a technology from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Shockwave developed the cortical psychic patch during the 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 Autobots, though there are a substantial number of texts on the subject available to interested Autobot medics.
Fiction
Prime cartoon
Shockwave used a cortical psychic patch to extract decryption codes from Arcee's mind, thus informing the Decepticons of the Autobots' new home on Earth. Out of the Past
With Optimus Prime infected with cybonic plague and time short, Ratchet decided to try the procedure, though he had never previously attempted it himself. He talked Arcee through setting up a cortical psychic patch between Bumblebee and Megatron, who at the time was lying comatose in the 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. 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. Out of His Head
Megatron successfully learned the purpose of the Omega Keys by using a patch to view Smokescreen's memories. Inside Job
Another patch proved useful when Megatron wanted to find out Starscream's true motives, as he was able to replay Starscream's own memories. Though when the memories started to incriminate him as well, Knock Out was tempted to prematurely disconnect the link, trapping Megatron in Starscream's head, and was only stopped by Dreadwing. Patch
A patch used on Wheeljack by Shockwave failed to yield any useful information, as Wheeljack didn't know anything. Scattered
Notes
- The cortical psychic patch resembles Soundwave's tentacles, though thinner.
