*HilariousInHindsight: The episode ends with Bumblebee speculating what it would be like for the transferrence Spike went through to go the other way and transfer an Autobot's mind into a human body. The season 3 episode ''[[Recap/TransformersG1OnlyHuman Only Human]]'' sees this awnsered. Further, nearly 24 years later in the WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated episode ''[[Recap/TransformersAnimatedS3E06HumanErrorPartI Human Error]]'' sees another group of Autobots turned human, including that series version of Bumblebee himself.

AF now a disambiguation and CM needs forum approval.


* AdultFear: While Sparkplug knew the risks of getting involved with the Cybertronian war, his distress and terror over seeing his son severely injured (and then in mental anguish when his mind is put in Autobot X) is hard to watch.
* CompleteMonster: Megatron and Soundwave not only shot at Spike and Bumblebee (causing serious injuries to the latter and almost killing the former), but Megatron then manipulated the mentally unstable Autobot Spike into turning on his friends.

%% * JerkassWoobie: Spike in his Autobot body; he's constantly calling himself a monstrous freak, attacks his friends and his own father, even allies temporarily with the Decepticons. Justified due to the side effects of the mind transfer making it hard for him to think normally.
* PetTheDog: Megatron compliments the spy he sent to watch Autobot Spike until he could get there. Considering how he's usually portrayed as a BadBoss, this was surprisingly nice of him.

* CompleteMonster: It's bad enough that Megatron was willing to kill a human teenager, but he was also willing to take advantage of Autobot Spike's mental instability to temporarily align him with the Decepticons.

Plus, the entire time Ratchet's repairing Bumblebee, he keeps urging the medic to work faster, clearly wanting to be there for Spike (and being the first Autobot to go after him when he has his breakdown). Not to mention that the Autobots never give up on Spike.

* FridgeBrilliance: When Wheeljack started modifying Autobot X to hold someone's mind while their body was repaired, he intended for it to hold a ''Cybertronian's'' mind. He and Ratchet likely don't know a lot about human biology, meaning that Spike's brainwaves were likely incompatible with the Cybertronian body. No wonder he went crazy.

Not sure how that's Crosses The Line Twice. The trope definition is making a show extremely offensive, to the point where the offensiveness can't be taken seriously and it becomes funny. Also, Jerkass Woobie is a Zero Context Example


* CrossesTheLineTwice: Megatron not only ordered the attack that almost killed Spike, but he then tried to manipulate him into destroying the Autobots.

Adult Fear is not a trope anymore (and wasn't ever YMMV anyway). This also deoesn't seem to be a Friendship Moment, I'm guessing you meant Heartwarming Moments.


* AdultFear: Sparkplug almost loses Spike in a Decepticon attack, then watches his son almost lose himself to the Autobot X's defect. After this episode, one wonders why he let Spike continue fighting with the Autobots.



* FriendshipMoment: The Autobots do everything they can to help Spike recover from the accident, from Ratchet and Prowl racing him to the hospital to using Autobot X to keep Spike alive until his body's healed.

Adult Fear is no longer a trope


* AdultFear: Sparkplug almost loses his son to a horrific, fiery battle, and is desperate enough to try an experimental procedure to save Spike. While the procedure works, it leaves Spike unable to think clearly, and he goes on a rampage. Poor Sparkplug has to watch his son turn into a raging robot monster, and is barely able to talk him down with a [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight speech.]]
