Blackout was obviously here when the explosion hit, to guess from the blackened armor, shattered cockpit glass, and warped rotors.
"His forearm was venting flames just before the explosive punch," Blackout adds to Hellbender's summary.

Lugnut grumbles at Hellbender's dissatisfaction of calling him a worm, but he says nothing when said tunnelcrawler calls him Buffalo-wings. What is that anyways?
It's a bit annoying that the others answer his question for him when he knows that he needs to stay on this medic's good side (even the zealot is aware of his reputation!), and eventually he just gets tired of them talking and interrupts them. "It is an explosive weapon, indeed activated by slamming the red button into the ground. It does not bear a name, though my Blitzwing has dubbed it the 'Punch of Kill Everything', but that fool always tends to over-exeggerate things."
OOC: Sorry for the late post, didn't see that Blackout had posted already.

"I see." Hook pulls a laser-screwdriver out of subspace and advances on Lugnut. "Hold out your arm."
Assuming Lugnut complies, Hook quickly opens up the big jet's arm and starts investigating the mechanics of his Punch.
If he doesn't comply, Hook will try to jab his side with the screwdriver and turn it on. That will likely hurt.
Not that having one's arm opened up doesn't hurt, but at least Hook isn't being deliberately sadistic there.

Spinister straightens, and he moves to stand just behind Hook, on the left, in what is a clear 'I will melt you if you mess with this Constructicon' move.
Spinister serves the Decepticons. If command is competent, that means he serves command.
Hooks knows what he is doing.

Blitzwing moves a few steps behind Hook and to his right, hopefully so Lugnut gets the picture that Blitzwing will back up Spinister.
Not that Blitzwing thinks Spinister would need it, but it would mean that Blitzwing would be first in line to smash whatever is left into atoms.

"Well... Looks like things are in hand here. Hook, Spinister, y'all got any orders or requests Ah should know 'bout afore Ah clear out?" Hellbender asks.

Blackout folds his arms across his chest (a gesture of peace, as this makes most of his weapons inaccessible without obviously telegraphing it) and steps back, waiting to see if either the Mayhem or the medic have anything further to say. Otherwise, he adds nothing further, checking Scorponok's progress on the radio.
Skippable.

Wow, a lot of hate in here. Bonecrusher's probably locked up in the room above them.
Lugnut holds out his arm, but he goes for option C: The parts beneath the armor hiss, and it can be heard how parts are rotating and sliding apart. It's not long before the front half of his armor split open into four sections and move back and an odd ominous glow comes from the middle of his arm. The glow only expands as the core of his weapon starts sliding out like the rod of a nuclear plant, until it's out far enough for Lugnut to pull it out with his free hand and offer it to the Constructicon. His right arm doesn't close up again though, just in case Hook wants to take a closer look at it.
The entire process took no more then 7 seconds and involved no brutally taking apart things. Practical dooms weapon is practical!

People are not usually this accommodating about Hook pulling out parts of themselves. The Constructicon scowls at Lugnut on general principles but he takes the weapons-core that is offered.
Then he pokes around inside of Lugnut's arm anyway. It's always useful to understand if this is actually disabling or merely appears to be so. The Constructicon is none-too-gentle in his examination.
"I have people to repair," he says, "So you will report promptly in twelve hours so this lounge can be repaired. Do you understand?"

Spinister looks over Blitzwing from the corner of his optics. In Spinister's own reality, Blitzing was one of the Ten Deadliest Killers. This one doesn't seem quite so important but not terribly different, really.
Not a bad man to have standing off to the right of him when making a threatening display.
He is more than normally curious (and Spinister is normally very curious) as Lugnut's weapon comes out. Modular technology? Interesting. Must make repairs easier.
Spinister lets Lord Hook make the orders here. He's cased the scene and collected the stories.
He steps a bit forward, trying to catch Hook's optic band, before looking from Hook over at the door pointedly. Can he leave and maybe go harass some of the wounded in medical?

Hellbender shrugs. No one told him he needs to stay or talk to anyone, and he even asked--so he leaves, drifting in the direction of medical. Jetstorm and Counterpunch both took some pretty bad hits; Hellbender feels he ought to at least check on them.

So co-operating still results with the zealot being in a slight pain? Well that is hardly fair. Still he stands there though, waiting until Hook is done, and can only nod at the Constructicon's request. "I shall be there, or be disgraced in the everpresent optics of Megatron."

What, did Lugnut expect to get a non-sadistic engineer? It is to laugh.
Hook inclines his head to Spinister, then removes his screwdriver from Lugnut's arm. "Fascinating. Go and meditate on your sins against Megatron and the Decepticons."
Why not play into Lugnut's oddities?
That said, Hook glares around at the broken lounge and makes to follow Spinister out of the room.

Oh, Lord Hook wants to follow Spinister? Awesome. They can play Bad Cop and Sadistic Engineer!

Apparently all Decepticon engineers and medics have to sign a contract that obliges them to be sadistic.
Smart thing to say, Hook. Lugnut falls for it like a brick, the large zealot standing at attention and even saluting to no-one in particular. "I shall! I must find a way to redeem myself in the optics of the great One!"
He watches the pair leave and waits until they've cleared the room before heading for the door himself, though he turns around to look at the others. After all, they might take this chance to attack him...
