Swerve doesn't 'fancy himself' a racer; he is a racer. He is not, however, a Stunticon. Though if he knew about that force field, he'd probably consider trying to pirate the tech while cursing its maker.
Right now, his main concern is figuring out what it'll take to make his arm not hang so low. Could be a warped rod; that's what the dull ache feels like, he decides as tactile comes back. Something cracked, too, he notes, rotating his arm and feeling something click that shouldn't click. Great. He should be able to take care of it given a little time.
First, though, he has to be shot at. Of course. He's too busy evaluating his damage to notice the sound of a nearing engine until the shots are fired and turf around him erupts in bursts. He startles – he isn't hit, though the ground is nearly shot out from under his feet and he gets a fresh shower of dirt and rock as he staggers and drops to his knees. He looks up just in time to catch a glimpse of maroon paint.
That fragging Dead End! Swerve growls and takes aim, but the Decepticon is gone among the rubble before he can get a fix.
"Slagging– Rrrgh!" He can't even come up with the words right now. He fires anyway, blasting some rocks so he can feel a little better.
He's seriously considering giving chase when a mountain drops to the desert floor. …Wait, it's just Omega.

Dead End sees the falling slab of Omega Supreme that's probably going to snuff his life out--and engages his lifters inline with his tires. He's burning energon like it's poison he has to get rid of, but really, it won't do him any good if he's suddenly two inches tall.
He accelerates violently and careens off an unexpected slab of rock, freshly fallen from above. Dead End rolls in mid-air like a fighter plane, and comes down hard on his tires--his joints complain of the strain. He's clear of Omega Supreme, and keeps on going.

Up in the sky, with his nose pointed towards where the sun goes down, Slingshot can see the Decepticon fliers in the distance. The part of him that Skydive bleeds into says he doesn't want this kind of fight; alone and outnumbered against experienced Decepticon fliers negates all the advantages of being an Aerialbot.
The part that Air Raid bleeds into echoes Slingshot's "screw that", and the Harrier kicks in his afterburners and races towards the jets.

Omega Supreme out and out glares, despite his blue optics being blind and behind him. Did that Stunticon have the gall to drive right past them and shoot and run on Swerve? He was in bad water with Omega Supreme purely because he's a Stunticon. Then he made it worse by opening the big mouth that he doesn't have and running it off. Hook is out of range. Omega Supreme will just have to take his ire on Dead End. He takes a few steps forward, tracking Dead End's movement as he harasses Omega Supreme's fellow Autobot. Looks like Bumblebee's out of it. Bumblebee was nice to Omega Supreme. Bumblebee's injuries are probably the tan guy's fault, but Omega Supreme has never been rational in his rationales. His head turret – it's his little gun! – swivels, and he fires on Dead End. That will teach Dead End and the tan one not to know the meaning of retreat!

See, there you go again, Omega, shooting at Swerve's target, stealing all his fun.
Smelt it. Maybe the slag-sucker dodged somehow. The racer transforms, shoulder crying protest, and with one side misaligned, exhaust pipes not quite in place, he takes off at top speed. Besides, that last radio from Wedge has him a little unsettled. Not that he'll admit if asked.
