Dat’s right, People, it’s time for ‘Keef watches TFP and you just get the notes!’
This is for season 1, episode 13: Sick Mind.
(OH HELL YES!)
I write down the timestamps, but I watch Transformers Prime on Stan (an Australian streaming service) so they may be slightly off.
ALSO! I try my best to note points for every character, but tend to get a little caught up by Bee (although I think I do a pretty good job with the notes regardless) so do be warned.
~~~~Transition~~~~
00:07 - that’s amazing and so useful.
00:11 - hehe penetrate. + the kid’s faces look so funny.
00:12 - Bee’s looking at the roof. His gaze is too high for him to be(e) looking at the same thing everyone else is.
00:24 - honestly I really like the way that line was delivered. Just makes it sound like Ratchet’s hypothesis was created on the spot.
00:25 - I just think it’s silly how they’re all just standing like that.
00:30 - Arcee and Bee are in sync and I love it.
00:38 - Suspense, my beloved!
00:44 - didn’t even think twice about bringing his husband, huh?
00:51 - I don’t think he brought his medical ki- LOOK AT THEIR HEIGHT DIFFERENCE.
00:57 - holy shivers.. the visual is so beautiful and yet so dark.
01:07 - ‘lemme get us in first’ proceeds to make door.
01:12 - it’s at this point that it’s weird Ratchet doesn’t have a battle mask. Maybe he doesn’t need it. But I think he still would.
01:17 - Optimus checks to make sure Ratchet’s okay. Y e s .
01:31 - h o l y . Imagine seeing that!
01:34 - I was going to point out that they’re all the same model, then I saw the veins and the eye sockets and started crying.
01:48 - Ratchet touches da Booba.
02:01 - why was that bot fastened up there?!
02:04 - It’s confirmed by this- if Optimus was to be bot in an apocalypse, he would let the group know. Also a slight detail I like is that Optimus goes to touch his eye, but doesn’t, knowing he’ll probably make it worse.
~intro~
02:58 - everyone else staying very fair away
02:59 - Cybonic Plague like bubonic plague.
03:00 - why did they both look at Bee?
03:12 - if you ever get stressed, I recommend just watching Bee. The way his eyes wander away from the children is adorable.
03:20 - Goddamn. Amazing how he wasn’t infected.
03:31 - HE SOUNDS LIKE A WORRIED HUSBAND.
03:40 - this is what we call foreshadowing
04:08 - That’s it. Smaller bots do cool ass gymnastics tricks when they feel stressed out. That’s my new hc.
04:16 - KnockoutKnockoutKnocko-
04:22 - he knows they’re there. He just doesn’t want to deal with Autobots.
04:24 - yes, I know Arcee’s there.. but where did Bee hide?? Like he’s yellow, he doesn’t have any hiding spots.
04:41 - Optimus is literally dying and is concerned Ratchet was infected!
05:22 - Bee’s little nod when Arcee says ‘it’s Megatron’
06:01 - She said the title!
06:32 - that was a humbling ‘no’
06:53 - The intensity of this scene is so well portrayed.
07:06 - with confidence I know Bee said ‘I’ll do it.’
07:09 - The way Raf’s voice breaks when he said ‘Bumblebee’
07:13 - shut up! This team is so supportive! It could make a grown man cry.
07:29 - Well that was rude.
08:38 - Dunno what’s going on with these two, but they should kiss.
09:08 - Arcee bending down to Bee’s level like she’s talking to a child.
09:23 - pretty visual
09:54 - delicious, more lore.
10:18 - BEE GETTING SO EXCITED TO SEE OPTIMUS!
10:20 - Ratchet having to tell Bee it’s not Optimus after he was about to go hug him.
10:34 - Bee hiding behind fake Optimus
10:38 - ‘One Shall Stand and One Shall Fall’ foreshadowing.
10:53 - it’s the intro!
10:59 - noo he genuinely got upset
11:09 - the little door wing bounce. ⭐️👄⭐️
11:13 - what the fu-
11:24 - Real or fake, Bee will protecc Optimus.
11:33 - amazing how Megatron will sooner remember Bee by his rank than by literally anything else. (It shows that he thinks he’s superior to Bee)
11:50 - let’s all agree Bee absolutely said ‘W h a t ?.’
Also the tilt! He’s like a little Puppy!
11:51 - Megatron’s initial reaction is a mix of shock and horror. It’s short lived, but it’s there.
12:06 - Hehe I love how Ratchet pronounces ‘Bumblebee’
12:10 - The height difference! OH DEAR THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE.
12:27 - ‘what are you?’ ‘M E G A T R O N’
12:29 - They look like father and son rn
12:38 - Ordinarily a logical theory as to why clones showing up would not be good is because they would be a road block to the protagonist. In this situation, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that the primary reason as to why the clones showing up would not be good is because no one wants to watch Bulk, Bee and Optimus die.
12:42 - Why is Megatron so casual about Bumblebee now? Like he looks Bee in the eyes when Bee says something.
12:46 - What?. Megatron gave Bee a moment to try and communicate with the imaginations.
13:00 - excuse me but what the fuck? WHY IS MEGATRON EXPLAINING IT TO BEE??
14:44 - this is such a serious situation… then there’s ‘Bumblebee’, such a cute and silly word.
15:07 - you’re telling me that Megatron looked so deeply into Bee’s eyes that HE REMEMBERED WHAT HAPPENED?!
15:32 - ya know.. he’s addressing Bee and is talking very calmly.. who is this because it ain’t Megatron.
15:35 - e v e n more calm?!
15:43 - the way Bee’s eyes move!!
16:33 - Megs ain’t even humouring Bee anymore. What the actual frag? If someone wanted to use sick mind as a reason why Megatron and Bumblebee could have a relationship (not love, more friendship or caretaker-) I would be 100% on board.
16:48 - What can we infer from this situation? That Bumblebee is not showing nearly as much fear and is most likely being a little snarky? Absolutely!
17:12 - a bit rude to say ‘speak now’ huh?.
17:20 - shooting Starscream would do no good, he’s already got his hand on the cord, if he’s his he’s going to accidentally pull it out. She’d be better off aiming at Soundwave.
17:51 - Okay, honestly got no clue what Bee could’ve said.
17:54 - I paused the show and it honestly looks like Megatron’s going in for a fist-bump.
17:56 - Bee looks at the formula, then at Megatron.
18:04 - ‘what the?’ Fight me. That’s what he said.
18:05 - Megatron honestly sounds like a parent doing a temptation test on their child.
18:07 - ‘what?’
18:48 - Ratchet became more animated in this moment.
18:53 - Why is the place being destroyed? Is that this risk of the C.P.P.?
19:04 - technically he didn’t.
19:08 - Megatron sounds kinda desperate at this moment. It makes sense considering that his mind is essentially breaking down around him.
19:30 - Amazing aim
19:49 - fun fact, I actually used this photo as a reference for Soundwave’s side profile.
20:13 - there’s something so sweet about Optimus immediately putting his hand over Ratchet as support. + the gentleness of Ratchet’s voice.
20:18 - Bee gotta cheer rather than just clap… Now if you look at Raf, you realise Bee’s just copying him.
20:25 - as soon as Ratchet heard ‘physician’ he gestured at Bee.
20:27 - THEY LOOK LIKE PROUD PARENTS
20:59 - (inference) the only reason that Soundwave had to keep Megatron alive was because there was brain activity, so wouldn’t now be a good time to tell Soundwave it would be best to give up on Megatron?
21:02 - The BOOOOW
21:06 - Bee jolts slightly and his eyes dilate, how did no one notice that?
———————
And that was Sick Mind!
Honestly I enjoy that episode a lot! And watching it right after predatory makes the episode even better!
The episode fleshes/metals (I’m so funny) out a lot of the characters and the impact Optimus has on their lives and how far some may go, especially Bumblebee. I also think that the episode does some justice for Megatron, showing that he's not pure evil and will listen to reasoning, and there’s a progress between him and Bee where he gradually shows Bee more respect, although the dynamic was short lived, it was still very refreshing.
The episode also sets up that Bee is really good with communication (despite the barrier) and persuasion, using what he knew about Megatron to get the cure.
Genuinely a great episode 10/10.

Hey guys, how are you? Do you mind if I want to share a story with you? Just laugh, because this is the right expression for what I'm about to tell you. Last night I had a crazy dream, and after this I'll have to think twice before alternating video games with movies. Yesterday afternoon I played Abe's Oddysee, managing to complete it completely (for the millionth time); then since it was dinner time and we usually watch the tv at that time, we opted for a nice adventure film. Zapping through the channels, we caught "Clash of the Titans".
Now you may ask: what's so strange about all this?
Let's start step by step.
I calmly ate my meat cutlet and side salad while enjoying the movie, I saw the trials and challenges the hero faced, the monsters were fascinating despite the opera I've seen it hundreds of times, and I should be bored at this point. Medusa brutally losing her head made me grin evilly, the Kraken scene made me spit out fountains of stars from eyes... At the end of the film it was midnight, so without too much chatter I made preparations to go to bed.
So far, so good.
And now comes the best part: suddenly I start dreaming of the same movie, but with the characters of ODDWORLD!
Abe impersonated Perseus, preparing to leave on the heroic expedition to stop the impending evil, entering Molluck's lair to cut off his head and use his power to turn enemies into stone. Having arrived in the city, the heroic Mudokon must climb onto the platform at the top of the cliff, but the temple at the foot of the cliff is protected by Alf dressed as a priest (??!). The attention shifts directly to the Kraken scene which was a strange mix between Sekto and Munch (WTF), Abe shows the Glukkon's severed head and the monster turns into a statue, immediately after a big party and a meat slog buffet... Finish!
No damsels in distress, plot holes as big as meteor craters, drugged neurons... like the hangover... Literally. The great thing is that the "lived experience" was so perfect that it seemed TANGIBLE!!
Now I don't know about you, but I would need hospitalization after this X_X
