Blitzwing is mad as all hell, and he's not going to take it any longer. He's going to grab that lousy Dinobot, and get back to base even if he has to smash her, all the other Autobots and Duskwing to do it.
Not that smashing Duskwing will help, but it would sure make Blitzwing feel better. As things stand, he's going to have a talk with Duskwing on the finer points of why he should listen to Blitzwing. His scimitar might even make a guest appearance, depending on how receptive Duskwing is.
Springer's shot strikes Duskwing square in the chest, causing him to stagger slightly before he recovers. He's not going to be distracted though, not now. It hurts where Springer struck him, and in the back of his mind he wonders how deep the shot penetrated, but ignores the implications.
leaping to the side and transforming into his jet mode, Blitzwing hurtles towards Bambi's position, firing off one of his heat seekers at Jetfire to dissuade him from going after the target. If he gets to her before Jetfire does, he'll try and transform to catch her, otherwise another brawl is going to ensue.

"..." Mistwind flops back in the seat, arms crossed. See! Don't trust anything small and tiny!

Being attacked from multiple directions is not fun. Jetifre rolls, attempting to avoid Duskwing's laser-fire, even as Blitzwing's missile bears down on him. Perhaps he can use the situation to his advantage. Several blasts score his sides painfully as he guides the missile into the line of fire. The resulting explosion sends him toppling off course, but he quickly recovers and races after Blitzwing.
Now would be a good time to open fire on someone, either Blitzwing or Duskwing, but worry over losing control makes him hesitate. Well, he should be fine so long as he does not use his flamethrowers too much, right? Concentrating, the small jet shoots off several small fireballs at the two 'Con jets.

Blitzwing gets to Bambi first, since Jetfire doesn't mention anything at all about Bambi in his post. Huzzah!
She, for her part, has fanned out her legs and arms, trying to induce as much drag as possible to slow her fall. Bambi likes climbing, and at some point, climbing involves falling. No one is perfect.
Not usually falling this badly.
As Blitzwing makes a grab for her, Bambi transforms to robot mode. It might not prevent him from grabbing her, but it does open up different... options.

It isn't quite as funny when Jetfire is shooting spit-fireballs at him. Duskwing jinks wildly, avoiding the fireballs except for some scorching of his paint. Then he's past the bright yellow Auto-jet's arc of fire (he hopes) and yanks his nose up in preparation for a Pugachev's Cobra--
His engines flame out and he stalls. "Oh, slag."
Duskwing falls out of the sky backwards. "ItoldyouIwasoutoffuel!"
He lowers his nose, but he's already too damn low--he just manages to straighten in time for an embarrassing belly landing in shallows of the river. Duskwing hits water with a hard 'SMACK' that jars him from nose to tail and throws up a huge wave of spray and muck.
When he finally slithers to a stop on the muddy riverbank, he asks, "You okay, kid?"

Springer grumbles. This isn't going very well.
However, Duskwing appears to be down for the moment. This is good, for Springer and Jetfire anyway. He jumps on the radio again, to Jetfire - //Okay, slight change of plan. Let's focus on Blitzwing.// Springer transforms to chopper mode, taking off after the jet. //You take the right side, I'll take the left, we'll strafe him at the same time. Just be careful about the target.//
Provided Jetfire follows suit, Springer moves up and toward Blitzwing, and fires a few spurts from his vehicle-mode guns at the other triple changer.

Success!
With Dinobot in hand, Blitzwing abruptly stops, turns and draws his scimitar, and hovers the edge of the humming energy blade over her head. She shall either serve as a hostage or she shall serve as a pincushion and shield.
"Now you listen to me and you listen good. I'm not trying to hurt you, and were not going to feed you into a grinder. We just want to tke you back to base for a small talk, from which you might benefit." Blitzwing says to her, softly so only she can hear.
"On the other hand, I wouldn't mind hurting you if you struggle and I do happen to have a grinder I can feed you into feet first if you make trouble for me now. Squeak once in terror if you understand." He continues, as he shifts the blade to be behind her head.
"SPRINGER, CALL OFF YOUR DOG AND FRAG OFF BEFORE I GIVE THIS DINOBOT A HAIRCUT! AND I'M NOT A PARTICULARLY GOOD BARBER, SO I MAY CUT A BIT LOW!" He shouts to the approaching Autobots.

Okay? If by 'Okay', Duskwing means 'crashed against inside of cockpit thrice during the fall and once again upside down' sure! Mistwind is very okay!
"Hrmph!" comes the muffled reply before the bot retrieves his faceplate from the floorpadding, "Y-yeah, you still functional?"

One Decepticon jet out of the game, one to go! Sending a confirmation to Springer's orders, Jetfire sweeps towards Blitzwing with the intent of carrying them out. Remember, keep to small blasts and everything should be fine! His intentions are derailed, however, when Blitzwing grabs a hold of Bambi and proceeds to hold her hostage.
Jetfire transforms, drawing to a quick halt, and hovers off to Blitzwing's side. //Springer! What are we to doing now? Should I remain firing?//

Holding a Dinobot hostage will always be a dumb move, no matter how puny the Dinobot, because Dinobots?
Have hard heads and are '-ing crazy.
Bambi's blue optics flash with all the fury of a waterfall, and it is not a squeak of terror but a roar of primordial anger that escapes from red-painted lips, as they draw back to show off the fangs that linger even in robot mode. She tucks her chin down to her chest, trying to protect her head from the blade as best she can, and then she grabs her hammer, ignites it, and swings it back over her shoulder right up at Blitzwing's face.
"ME BAMBI UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NO WANT FACE ANYMORE."

"I'm talkin', ain't I?" Duskwing pops his canopy, allowing Mistwind to scramble out if he wants to. "I've had rougher landin's. Least this one was right side up."
After Mistwind has had a chance to get clear, if he chooses to take it, Duskwing slowly, haltingly transforms. Severely rattled and slightly bent parts groan as they are forced back into line. He scowls as he looks at his internal gauges.
"Can't fly at all. Maybe Blitzer 'll put one of dem poseur-Bots into the ground face first and we can loot some fuel. I gotta get more fuel." He offers his hand and shoulder to Mistwind again, ready to follow the aerial battle on foot.
His guns may be out of power, but he's still a full-sized Seeker. If he catches Jetfire on the ground, Duskwing means to tear his wings off.
"Whoa! What'd dat dame just do to the Blitzer!"

Oh, crap crap crap.
Blitzwing's got the Dinobot hostage. Smaller dinobot at that. Kinda odd-looking for a Dinobot, at least in comarpison to the Grimlock and Slag Springer's seen here on Gillanan.
...then it pulls out a big...pickhammer, and sets it on fire, and swings for Blitzwing's face.
Springer has gone from 'oh crap' now to 'holy crap'.
//...What to do is a very good question. Hnn.// Springer pauses, having transformed and dropped to the ground a short distance away. //If she can hold a flaming weapon, and actually is a Dinobot, a little more fire shouldn't be much of a problem.// He smirks a bit. //Can you pour some fire on 'em? Something to serve as a good distraction to let the target get away from Blitzwing.// Springer draws out his pistols. //Once the Dinobot gets away, I'll see if I can blast their legs out from under 'em.//

What was smugness plastered on Blitzwings face quickly turns to confusion and then fear as he sees the hammer come out of nowhere, and then everything goes black. Blitzwing falls backward, unconscious and helpless, but the hand around Bambi doesn't go limp, it clenches harder.
After a few seconds of free fall, he wakes up again. He doesn't where he is, or why he's here, or why his face hurts so bad, or why he can't see out of one eye. He looks down with his one good eye, half of his face smashes in and the pain driving him insane, and he see's Bambi, holding the hammer. Instantly, he knows what he must do.
"RAAAAAAAARGH!" Blitzwing roars with rage to match bambi's roar moments earlier, as he goes into a berserker rage to try and kill this thing that hurt him. He punches, kicks, tries to beat her with the hilt of his sword, tries to smash her against his own body, tries to bite her if he ends up close enough to his ruined face.
Having now slowed his fall, the only thing he cares about is ripping this thing that made him hurt in two.

Curseth are the powers that be! Mistwind growls in frustration as he jumps the jet, once going out, twice getting to the shoulder panels. Clinging to one of the big engines, he peers out darkly to the battle in the sky. He begins to anxiously play with a round ball pulled from subspace, not much he can do but to relieve stress.

When Bambi pulls out her hammer - a flaming one at that - and smashes it into Blitzwing's face, Jetfire has to wonder if he really needs to do anything to help. A bit stunned, he hovers in the air and drifts more to the rear of Blitzwing. Then Springer's orders come through and he snaps out of his funk with a quick shake of his head.
'Pour some fire on 'em'? At that, Jetfire finds himself doing something that he isn't prone to do, especially in the fact of orders: hesitating. His newly developed nervousness wars with his desire to do as directed by Springer, and he begins to answer back: //I... I could a little...? I-//
He's interrupted from stuttering out further excuses when Blitzwing snaps back to consciousness and begins to retaliate violently against his captive.
"Ah!" he yells. Forgot debating over sweeping them with his flamethrowers, it was time for a more direct approach. Besides, Springer had phrased that order in the form of a question, that meant that he didn't have to obey, right? Right? Oh, he's going to feel bad about this later. But for the moment, there's a little Dinobot gal in trouble.
Diving after Blitzwing, he comes up behind the Decepticon and proceeds to attempt to roundhouse kick him in the head.
