Blast Off does follow Skywarp down to the ground and listens as he explains. He is vain about his flying, but he is also injured, and he needs to save his strength for the return trip.
Blast Off offers, "There are odd rocks that seem to summon Transformers here from multiple realities. They were found back on a planet called Gillanan III, but some of the rocks have since been removed from there."
He has to wonder. Overlord escaped with some of those rocks...
What happened to Bruticus was, well...

OOC: Skywarp is going to lead us somewhere. Can we just skip to somewhere and also drop Screwdriver into the scene? Just... commercial break, and boom. We are wherever Skywarp was taking us, and the animators have started drawing Screwdriver again?

OOC: I am completely okay with this if Screwdriver is as well. I'd ask Knock Out, but that may be moot…?

OOC: I'm okay with it. I was just waiting for the scene to be 'set', since I don't know what 'wherever Skywarp was taking us' was.

There's a narrow hallway, underground, that Our Player Characters now find themselves walking through.
It would be a perfect place for an ambush.
This fact is not lost on Blast Off, who is still injured (and ill on top of that, besides, with his mysterious illness).
But the dark, rotten heart of this whole mystery is supposed to be in a room at the end of the hallway.
Any Decepticon with half a chip would think this has to be a trap.
The only question is 'how?'

And out of nowhere jumps...
A Junkion!
"Surprise!" she shouts, landing on Blast Off's shoulders. She then sings him a Happy Birthday song, only it's not the Happy Birthday song (you know the one), because that one's got a heavily enforced copyright that results in it not actually getting shown in movies and on television. Consequently, she doesn't know the Happy Birthday song, and instead sings one of the lame substitutes that movies use as she leans over Blast Off's head and looks down at him.
How did she get on the ceiling? Was she on the ceiling, or in the ceiling? How did people not see her before?
It's a mystery!
OOC: Landing on Blast Off with permission.

Wind Sheer, playing eyes to Skywarp, is a bit busy focusing on the corridor to notice Screwdriver until it's really too late to warn his partner. In fact, Wind Sheer himself is quite startled and he reflexively ducks down close to Skywarp's tailfins. The larger jet doesn't startle at her entrance only because he makes himself hold still. It's too easy for him to stumble.
The room to which he leads the Decepticons and their singing Junkion looks for all the world like a nondescript machinery control room. It's a bit on the large side, but there is quite a lot of machinery in the park. Skywarp gestures them inside with one hand as he picks up a pair of small objects – glittering red and suspiciously like optical clusters – with the other. He remains close by the door and carefully inserts the assemblies into the gaping holes in his face where his eyes should be. They flicker to life while Wind Sheer winces. This is the part he doesn't like.
"For what it's worth," Skywarp says, looking at the other Decepticons, "I am sorry." He presses a button on a nearby console and the room is instantly abuzz with the racket of machines churning into gear.

Long Haul falls through the ceiling in a shower of glass, but for some reason he's been repainted red and white, with a red Decepticon symbol. Anyone looking up, however, will see only ceiling...
... Well, a ceiling from which claws descend, ones that resemble rather closely the claws that are used in certain types of prize-game-machines, one of which grabs Long Haul. Others go after the Decepticons.

Swoop does not fall through the ceiling. Swoop falls through one of the walls and halfway through the room before physics decides it's sick of that nonsense and slams him to the floor.
It only takes a moment for him to get his bearings and launch himself at Screwdriver, shrieking.

Previously:
Our protagonists landed on Six Lasers Over Scorpio, what was once an amusement park on a silicon asteroid doped with gallium, arsenic, and other trace impurities, after receiving Cybertronian distress calls from the area. Along the way, they were menaced by a brainwashed Lugnut.
They swiftly learned that the actual park had been conquered, corrupted, and seemingly abandoned by the rogue Decepticon known as Overlord.
He apparently left behind a holographic copy of himself, H-Overlord, with sinister intentions (not to be confused with sinister indentations).
Overlord also left behind many dead and dying Transformers and aliens, the magic rocks that he stole apparently still being effective at summoning Transformers from other dimensions.
While exploring, our protagonists met Skywarp and Wind Sheer, who were seemingly abandoned by Overlord.
Now:
Grabber-arms like those found in grabber games are trying to grab our protagonists!
Blast Off is startled by Skywarp's sudden inevitable betrayal!
Blast Off shouldn't be, he's a Decepticon, he knows better, but he is. Wow, Skywarp has spare optics, too? The blindness was all a trick!? Blast Off sputters, sneering down his mask, as the claw ungainly hauls him up, "What could possibly drive you to this madness, Skywarp? ...is it your Micromaster?"
Please exposit, Skywarp. Or Wind Sheer. Someone.
"He could be one of those psychic aliens in disguise, you know, like on - ack!"
The claw is gripping rather hard!
Then Blast Off is dumped down a hole in a giant whack-a-mole game. Looks like there is a hammer coming right for him, too!

Screwdriver (remember Screwdriver?) had landed on top of Blast Off not long before Blast Off was picked up by a grabby arm. There for, it's reasonable to assume that Screwdriver was likewise picked up by said grabby arm. "Woah, time for a little hands on training, clap on, clap off," she babbles as she attempts to scramble up the grabber, a feat made easier by the fact that it was Blast Off, and not her, who was actually grabbed. Thus, when Blast Off is dropped, she's still clinging to the thing. She attempts to scramble further up it, one hand reaching for any exposed wires or cables to begin doing... who knows what to the thing.

Long Haul (remember Long Haul?) grabs for the grabby arm that's grabbing him and beings to bend. While the Constructicot may be a mech of limited talent in combat, one thing he does have going for him is strength, and so he's able to twist the grabber out of shape with relative ease. Of course, since this is Constructibot Long Haul and not Constructicon Long Haul, this primarily means that he then falls (again) once the thing can no longer hold on to him, but at least it means he's not dropped in a wackamole hole.
He hits the ground with a 'wumph' and a clang, and lifts a hand to cradle his head. "I think I've had about enough of fallin' from the ceiling in here," he grumbles.

Swoop (of course you remember Swoop. Dinobots always leave an impression. Or at least a dent.) just misses being grabbed by a claw. If he hadn't already been lunging at Screwdriver it would have gotten him. As it is, he's soon scrambling up the claw Screwdriver is on, intent on murder.
"You Hans Christie Anderman give me Swoop wings back!"
