Vortex makes a mangled scream of rage as he watches Assault blow up.
The world has just descended into unreasonable chaos! Under normal circumstances Vortex would be cheering but he’s currently trying to wrestle with his own helpless, murderous fury. He desperately searches the stars for the purple glow of Assault’s personality chip, but he mostly ends up with a face-full of blue seeker bits. If only his glue gun could miraculously transform into something he can kill Scourge with. Oh, wait, he can still club the bastard to death-
Aaaand then Brawl shoots him. He’s not even surprised.
“BRAWL!” Unfortunately, the shot has mangled one of his shoulders. “You are slag, ya drone screwin’ glitch!” Fortunately it wasn’t his gun arm, but the heli has to subspace the gun anyways because now his free arm is useless dead weight and he quickly ends up without a handhold. Which is really the only reason he doesn’t somehow end up getting shot at by Flame as he dragged towards the hole in the hull by the escaping air.
“Stay away from me!” he growls, flailing for a handhold before just giving up and transforming. Assault was in more pieces than he could count, their lord is probably about to kill them, Blast Off was nowhere in sight and now Brawl has just shot at him and the newb has decided to join in! Vortex is the unhappiest camper ever.
Sections of the hallway have started auto-locking and there isn’t much air in the hallway anymore, but it was enough. With a horrific howl, Vortex’s whirlwind generator powers up.

"Not if I slag you first! Hrrraaaagh!" Brawl roars, dropping down into tank mode and deploying his twin sonic cannons. He cranks up the volume and just sets them for maximum area effect. They're probably not terribly effective with so little atmosphere, but yet another target just showed up, and Brawl only has so many guns.
He's almost forgotten what they were actually fighting over at this point. He remembers it was something important, and has to do with the huge burst of static he just heard over the radio. The tank starts rolling backwards, away from the hole in the hull and Vortex's sucking whirlwind. It's possible he bumps into Flame.
(It's also possible the Combaticons just pulled ahead in the voting for Combiner Team Most Likely To Be Prescribed Behavior-Altering Medication. Take that, Stunticons.)

There are several chunks of Seeker floating about helplessly. Some tiny, some big! But he's not exactly capable of doing anything right now.
__________
So he's skippable! I'd say out of thread, but maybe you'd still need Seeker chunks for something. Just not for breakfast. This isn't IDW guys.

There is a whirlwind in space. Scourge, however, is glued to the wall. The wind whips and pulls at him, but he's stuck.
He radios Flame, sounding, well... murderous, //Right. Take out Vortex first.//
Vortex is the bigger threat, ridiculous as that may sound, what with the whirlwind and the stupid glue gun.

Of all the bizarre things to happen after being called up for this, there is a whirlwind. Flame braces his feet against the air flow and latches onto the near bulkhead with the hand not clutching his pistol. Take out Vortex first. Brawl is backing toward him, putting him behind the full effect of those cannons, though with enough atmosphere to feed a whirlwind, the echo still makes his weapon mounts rattle and his optic lenses buzz painfully in his face.
Vortex must fall. Flame takes aim… then thinks better of it and lowers his arm. He puts away his pistol; he needs both hands free. The wind is trying to draw him along the corridor. He can use that, he thinks, but he hasn't tried a gambit this ridiculous in a very long time. He checks and re-checks the angles, tries to calculate what would be best given the air direction and velocity.
Then he barges past Brawl on the wall currently holding Scourge and he has to fight the wind pulling him too quickly toward the commander. He's only partially successful, almost missing Scourge entirely before he latches onto a jutting bit of Scourge's person covered in mostly-dried glue. Mostly. The tackiness under his fingers sets the world sideways and for a second he can see his fingers dissolving. Scourge should have an excellent view of the terror-stricken look on Flame's face as he stares at his own hand.
The slam of his own weight on his shoulder knocks him into the present, however, and he drags himself back, jaw clenched, trying to haul himself to Scourge's windward side. Once he does, he can start applying solvent and begin the countdown to the Combaticons' messy punishment.
OOC: Grabbing onto Scourge with player permission.

The debris from the hole in the hull and Assault’s explosion rattle around the hallway although the sound was drowned out between the whirlwind and the rotor rattling boom of Brawl’s sonic canon. The pain of his audio sensors glitching from the blasts of does little to slow Vortex down of course (it makes him tingly!). But it was distracting and there was really only enough air for a few seconds of whirlwind before he had to-
“Don’t you slaggin’ dare!” he snaps at Flame, transforming to aim his gun at the pest but then one of Brawl’s blasts flattens him against the wall he’d braced against. “I hate you!” he screams at his teammate, trying desperately to resist the urge to nail that thick empty head with his gun. “I hate you I hate you I hate you!” Combaticon screaming contests were clearly the most mature events in the universe.
In a futile attempt to regain control of the situation somewhat, he re-aims at Flame’s sprayer hand and fires, hoping to trap it somewhere unfortunate and annoying.

"I hate you more!" Brawl shouts back at Vortex, slewing his turret around to line up a shot at the other Combaticon. The loss of air is starting to make his sonic cannons ineffective, so he deactivates them as he sends a shell toward the crazy 'copter.
The loss of air is also still sucking him toward the hole in the hull. Combined with Vortex's vortex and the fact that his treads just caught on a piece of debris, Brawl finds himself airborne. So Vortex now has both a tank shell and a tank flying towards him.

Scourge's life has degenerated into some incomprehensible farce. Luckily, he was holding onto some pipe before he was glued to the wall. So Scourge continues to hold onto that, but Flame has at least freed him from the glue (though now Flame may be covered by glue; this is truly a thankless job).
There's Brawl going flying towards Vortex. There's Vortex being the hugest pain ever. Scourge trains his plasma gun on Vortex's neck joint and fires, hoping to take the helicopter out of the fight, so he can worry about the somewhat easier task of pounding Brawl's head into the decking until he stops moving.

Glue.
Glue.
Flame's first and most overpowering instinct is to take cover at the sight of the stuff flying toward him. Take cover before it can burn holes clean through him and eat away everything that is Flame. His face twists, a rictus of horror and madness and paralysing fear. But there is no cover, save that of other people. And that is no cover; Flame will not cross that line.
Something in him snaps. He can feel it, a tiny pop deep in his chest as he brings the solvent to bear and breaks off the mister nozzle to loose a heavier spray on the incoming adhesive.
Unless Scourge beats him to it, he will kill Vortex.

Vortex has two people who want him incapacitated and one who wants him dead! Or maybe everyone just wants him dead.
Unfortunately, the odds were all in their favors.
He scrambles back in time to dodge Brawl’s tank shell- only to get his neck blown open by Scourge’s shot. There’s a muffled feedback squeal that quickly fizzles into static as he clutches at the gaping, sparking wound.
And then he gets flattened by a flying Brawl. Sorry Flame, but the helicopter is now rather spectacularly down for the count; he can do horrible things to the heli in the infirmary later though!
They probably drove a rather big, Vortex-shaped dent into the hull too, didn’t they?

Scourge shot Vortex! Only Brawl is allowed to shoot Vortex! This is the thought that is in the front of the tankformer's processor as he collides with his gestalt-mate.
Brawl transforms back to robot mode in a heap and rubs his head. "Gonna be feelin' that in the morning," he gripes, rising to his feet and standing over Vortex, leveling his gun at Flame. It's only just beginning to seep through his thick plating just how deep the slag he's currently in is.

Scourge just sees that Flame is taking actions to get rid of the glue stuck to Flame, and so he deems it, //Good.//
Scourge does not know that Flame is planning on murdering Vortex, who is already out of the fight. Hopefully, later on, telling Flame that he can experiment on Vortex with soothe Flame's savage soul.
This is why Scourge instead turns on Brawl and sends two of his shoulder missiles (they always seem to come out in pairs) at Brawl's knees.
OOC: Mind wrapping/fading this?

OOC: Skipping due to time-out.
Brawl is hit in the knees with missiles! Brawl crumples at the knees into a kneeling position. He is beginning to get a vague idea of what just happened, and he doesn't like it.
"It was all his idea," he says, pointing at Vortex, all too happy to throw his team-mate under the angry black truck.
OOC: I am good with a wrap.

Flame is not covered in glue. This is the best possible outcome. And since Scourge seems to have the dissenters under control, Flame should get back to the task for which he trucked this EVA kit down here in the first place.
OOC: Wrap sounds fine.
