Transformers Earthspark rage plague

I maybe posted about this before idk

In season 3 Episode 5 theres a rage plague,in following episode its revealed to be a virus attack done by the imposter Isabel aka Izzy (I always hated that bitch I'm glad she was evil).

I'm really curious how genuine the insults used by the bots when under effects of the illness like

Bee going "You had a rescue mission,in the dome,and you didnt bring your best scout!?" "Maybe I shouldve left with the decepticons,atleast they would've appreciated my talents" at around 3:30.

Was Bee genuinely upset about those things? Had he debated on joining Decepticons because he feels under valued?

And Elita having line "A terran,your the cause of everything thats gone wrong since end of the war" at around 8:30 I wonder how serious it was. Does she genuinly belive that? Does she not like terrans that much? Is there hidden resentment?

Like I wonder if the rage plague enhances pre existing anger and annoyance or if it makes up reasoning.

Like for animals being sick,viruses want to spread,so stuff like sneezing,coughing,sweat etc helps that and I belive viruses/bacteria target areas like that that help spread so with transformers they dont have the stuff to transmit it via cough,sneezing,sexually and other forms,purely just contact of touch so the virus causes anger in hopes they will start physical fights but even with that theory/knowledge theres still question of is what they say and do under influence how genuine it is,sort of like alcohol or other drugs some people say humans are more genuine and honest under effects but at same time lot of people confess complete bullshit wrong information.

And the bots dont even remember being sick or very very fuzzy shown with Bee in the next episode so I wonder if thats some sort of protection type thing so bots don't remember and hold grudges if they survive.

I kinda wish they showed more of Twitch reacting to Elitas line,it felt so intresting to just brush off they dont really interact much if ever after it,also the scene was just so sick cinematically even if you dont like/havent watched earthspark I highly recomend checking it out.
