Long Haul stays quiet and holds tight, having little to contribute until they land, crash, or he's ejected out into space.
Hopefully not that last one. Even crashing's more useful than that.

Swoop, not knowing whether he's space capable or not, decided to err on the side of hitting things. He goes to stand by the door, or whatever Omega Supreme has that lets people from the inside out.

Giving Ultra Magnus a sharp nod, Jetfire will be out of Omega as fast as he can manage, blasting into space with a flare of foot-rockets.
There is a giant fist headed towards them! Jetfire angles to come at it from the side (they're in space, the only directions are really 'in front', 'behind', and 'the sides'), aiming to deliver a smashing kick to try and knock it off course.

OOC: Anyone who wants to get out may do so.
Omega Supreme transforms, trying to throw anyone who was not already out towards some of the sturdier-looking space junk.
They'll be safe... ish... at least.
He raises his arms in front of himself, trying to defend, but that pillar of fire... well, it knocks him out of orbit at the very least. It is hard to see what else it has done.
But hey. Asteroid. Just a thin artificial atmopshere on the very surface. At least he won't burn up, right?

Looks like it's ejection after all. Ultra Magnus will actually try to make sure that he, Swoop, and Long Haul aren't thrown in three different directions if he can get hold of them. On one hand, they don't want to make a more centralised target; on the other hand, Omega is the primary target, and if they're all separated, tracking each other down in such hostile conditions could be more difficult than they should simply bring upon themselves. If he can't keep the group together, he'll just add it to his list of failures, then try to find everyone once they've landed.

Not to mention that for the non-fliers, being stranded on random space junk when the action is going on on the asteroid is inconvenient, to say the least.
Long Haul, at least, is grabbed up by Ultra Magnus, and those two (plus whoever else Magnus manages to grab) go bouncing off a piece of space debris and back towards Omega Supreme...
As it turns out, when you get five Autobots together, and four of them are from cartoonier realities, physics itself gets a big cartoonier.

Swoop squawks indignantly as he's ejected out into space, hurtling toward what might have once been a communications satellite. He makes a grab for whatever is closest, which happens to be Long Haul.
If successful, he'll end up with his beak clamped around the Constructibot's foot.

Jetfire is not fast enough to stop the fist from impacting on Omega. But he does kick it afterwards, sending it flying back harmlessly to Lugnut, who quickly reconnects.
Then, he turns towards the others.
So many targets.
So many Autobots to murder.
But they are inconsequential. He has only one in sight that he wants to destroy. So he transforms and blasts off after Omega, chasing him to that asteroid, while his turrets whirl around to open fire on the other Autobots, to try and keep them away and/or bring them down.

Jetfire gives a displeased shout as Omega Supreme is knocked out of orbit and the attacker chases after him. No time to stay still, though. His teammates are bouncing around space, Omega is in danger, and they're all under fire. Transforming into jet-mode, he rushes at the other Autobots with a bright flare of rockets, a magnetic grapple extending from his underbelly.
//Catch!// he calls out as he swoops towards the ejected Autobots, spiraling to try and avoid turret fire. If all goes well, they'll end up with a chain of 'Bots being towed after Omega Supreme and his assailant.

So Omega Supreme has just caught a whole bunch of people, but he's still falling. Luckily, he isn't really gaining much speed, because the gravity doesn't really kick in until...
...now. He hits the top of an unusually large tent and whumps down into the middle of three rings.
Thankfully, due to Swoop and Jetfire being from Animated and himself and Long Haul being from the G1 cartoon, the physics are especially cartoonish today.

On the one hand, what has just transpired makes no sense by Ultra Magnus's reckoning. This is not how inertia in microgravity is supposed to work. Yet here they are, safely caught by Omega Supreme only to end up crashing on the asteroid anyway. The impact, even filtered through Omega's massive frame, knocks Magnus loose and momentum sends him tumbling away amid the collapsing tent. Much scuffed and dented, he finally stops amid what he'd call an arcade if he could think of the word. All around him are various carnival games, some behind booths, some free-standing.
//Report,// he groans as he picks himself up as quickly as he can, gaze on the heavens. That monster isn't dead yet.

Long Haul is bitten in the foot. "Hey!" he shouts angrily. He can probably only be heard over the radio, or through the same mechanism that allows Cyclonus to audibly suggest that the strange sound he, Scourge, and the Sweeps just heard is the wind, despite the fact that not only is there no wind in space, there's also no sound in space.
Not that it matters, because he's shortly crashing along with the others into a circus tent. He and Swoop get bounced off in the same direction and finished tangled together in the fabric of the tent. He grunts.
"Dented and damaged, but functional." He struggles with the fabric for a moment, then grasps it and starts to rip it apart. "Soon as I get out from he- hey, watch it, Swoop!"

Swoop does not reply to Long Haul's shout, because that would require letting go of his foot and possibly spinning off into space alone. Also he doesn't talk much.
Swoop has numerous rather pointy bits, which aid him in cutting his way free of the canvas, but make it rather hard to extricate himself from Long Haul. The procedure is eventually managed, though, albeit with much squawking and shoving.
Where there was a mechanical pterodactyl, there is now a humanoid robot, trying to bend his head crest back into shape manually. //Me, Swoop, okay, but landed on wing.//
He turns his head to look over his shoulder at his 'cape.' The part that forms from his left wing is crinkled up like so much aluminum foil. His left arm is just a bit scratched. "It look okay to you, Truck-bot?" he asks Long Haul.

Lugnut crashes into the tent, but not through the hole Omega made. He impacts on a different section of the tent, but in doing so pulls some of the tarp along with him, as he crashes into the scaffolding. An angry roar escapes the purple titan as he trashes, the tarp caught around him, blinding him, while twisted metal has momentarily trapped him. But it will not be long before he frees himself.

Things get confusing during the crash, and Jetfire isn't sure what's happening until he finds himself sprawled on the ground in the mess of a circus tent, having transformed at some point during the chaos.
He stares up blankly for a moment, cycling his optics a few times.
//Ah, I am being intact,// Jetfire reports, checking to see if any of the damage he took in the crash is serious.
