Guzzle just had to taunt the bear, didn't he? A Lithone drops down from the darkness of the ceiling, a Lithone with distinct drop bear-esque styling, and tries to sink long, knife-like talons into Guzzle and wrestle Guzzle off Override's top.
The walls of the ship seem rather thin here, if anyone happens to knock into a wall. A lot of the protective plating may have been stripped away.

Suddenly, Override has rather a lot more weight on her than she is expecting, as the drop slams the underside of her vehicle mode into the ground for a moment, causing it to scrape and forcing her to regain control, though she manages that quickly enough.
"Hey, what's going on up there?" she shouts. "Get that thing off, you stay on! We can't afford to slow down!"
She speeds around another curve, although, despite her claims, she does slow down just a bit this time. She really doesn't want to knock Guzzle off while he's dealing with other matters...

This is like something out of an adventure movie!
Only Guzzle doesn't heroically dodge those claws and instead feels them sink into his armor, tearing at the durable material and exposing some of the circuitry underneath. It makes the Minibot grind his teeth behind his mask, but he makes no sound, for he will not give it the satisfaction.
Instead, he gives it something else: a kick to try and dislodge the beast, and just as that curve comes up, a good, hard pistol whip right to the side of it's head!

Mirage continues to keep pace behind the others, though he falls back a bit once Guzzle gets pounced. Mirage doesn't particularly want the to get tossed off Guzzle and onto him. After all, Mirage has no weapons in car mode.
OOC: Mirage can be considered to be skippable and keeping pace with the others until such time as the group breaks out of the ship. Feel free to pose such as needed.

Guzzle gives that drop bear Lithone a short, sharp shock with that kick followed up by the pistol-whip! Dazed, the Lithone falls to the floor and is quite possibly run over and/or impaled on caltrops, twitching spastically.
The countdown is down to the last ten seconds. They're not at their original ingress yet, however. They won't be in time.
But the walls seem so very thin.

Override thinks she might well be able to make it back to the original ingress. But as for the people she's leading...
The path ahead curves once more, but this one a slower, gentler curve, one that suggests it was done to accommodate an inward turn of the ship's outer hull. These thin bulkheads...
"Guzzle! Fire directly ahead! Give it everything you've got right where that wall turns in! Everyone else, speed up! We want as much momentum as we can manage here! We're getting off this thing!"

//Now yer thinkin' like a Wrecker.//
There is not a single moment of hesitation. He trusts that Override will be able to handle what comes next. He lays flat on her roof, grips the sides of her vehicle mode, and with a dangerous hum his cannon charges up before firing off a large energy blast right at the wall.
With a satisfying shockwave the wall is blown up, leaving a nice big hole that should be wide enough. Now it's time to push the pedal to the metal speedsters!

The pedal is pushed to the metal, all right. In proper cinematic fashion, the racing trio (and the dwarf hanger-on) are likely to make it through the hole a handful of seconds before the ship goes kaboom.
Also in proper cinematic fashion, there is a shuttle waiting upon which the trio might land.
Rodimus sent Arcee to play chauffeur, remember?
posing of Arcee because I play her too. Scenemod can certainly muck about with the group making it onto the shuttle if she'd like.

So our heroes escape... just in time. This final countdown's out of time, and it's over, finished.
The ship out of Hell does not go into that good night quietly or easily. The engine section detonates first, consuming the middle of the ship and breaking it in twain. Explosions slowly travel in either direction, choking and stuttering at times. The aft detonates all to the end, but the fore pauses, seeming as it might remain.
Then explosions finish ripping through the fore, too.
Then there's nothing but wreckage, twisted and pulverised, left, and in the space between, ebon black dust, almost invisible against space. The debris fairly oozesradiation, hot in that peculiar way of radioactive hazards: searchers will just find themselves sick, one way or the other.
