Screwdriver actually had been working on repairs - it's why she had just continued what she had started. Blast Off said to repair him, right? However, when he announces that he's crashing, she slams the panel shut before springing towards the nearest seat, singing, "He knew just what to do! Duck! Shhhweessh! And cover!" 1 She attempts to strap herself in, but is thrown clear against one of the bulkheads, breaking off a leg. Despite this, she repeats, "Duck! Shhhhhhweeesh! And cover!" With this, she covers her head and tries to curl into a one-legged ball. She'll pick up the pieces once they're down. 1 Screwdriver is singing an old EBS test jingle.

Blast Off is burning. But not enough. The creature will not rest before the shuttle burns upon the surface of the asteroid, joins the wreckage there, and- There are others here. The hulk turns, glaring red eyes zooming in on the other vessel that just entered his sensor range. At the sight of it, it erupts in pure white hot rage, another burst of manic, half static and half ranting erupting over the shortband radio. But only one word is intelligible. //OMEGA// With pillars of fire beneath it's feet it propels itself towards the gaudy ship, the other eye searing vessel forgotten and left to crash. It is going against what it was told to act, but there is something that burns bright in it's mind, something beyond rage. //KILL// It draws closer, entering visual range, a twisted, humanoid shape of wreckage fused together. One large arm is drawn back as it comes alive with the very fires of hell, burning some of the wreckage covering it's armor, revealing purple metal, then teal.... //EVERYTHING!// Then finally a red optic burning with something intense. Hate. Omega survived. Lugnut will not let that happen again.
Somewhere very nearby... Something watches through pitiless shattered satellite eyes, and it pulls off a passable imitation of thinking and feeling. Right now, it thinks that this scenario was all too predictable. It says, perhaps to itself, perhaps to one of its guests, "The Autobots hesitated. I expected they would. Getting a pure stand of the utterly selfless type is rather unlikely. Oh, it wouldn't have mattered even if they hadn't hesitated, though! They've been invited, they've arrived just on time, and now, my maƮtre d' will show them in to the main event."

When Frenzy gets home (when, not if, never if), he will climb inside of Barr'cade and not leave. Ever. For a while.
Now, he scrambles into a seat and webs himself in a cocoon of safety harnesses. He is small and breakable and he frakking well knows it and he'll kill anyone who comments.

Blast Off splashes down into a massive water park, surrounded by twisty slides at all angles.
Someone has dyed the water pink.
Rubber inflatable animals that vaguely resemble alien alligators float in the water.
Blast Off groans.

Screwdriver ends up scattered around the cabin, although fortunately she does have one arm attached to a torso. Her head is several feet away, of course, but she starts dragging her torso towards that first. She works pretty quickly, and soon has her head in place. She looks around, optics wide, checking the rest of the cabin for the rest of her. "They tore my legs off and they threw them over there! Then they tore my chest off and they threw it over there! That's me all over!"1 And she starts to pull herself towards her other arm.

Knock Out does his best to repair any damage even as he holds on for dear life. But that all comes to a screeching halt when the shuttle crashes, jolting Knock Out around to the point where he can't hang on anymore and is launched across the interior. When everything comes to a stop the doctor groans softly as he pushes himself up, shaking his head, blinking his optics to try and clear his vision.
...Is that an arm in front of his face?
Oh, probably the Junkions'. "This yours?" He grabs it as he pushes himself up, idly tossing it towards her. Then, he looks around for any other bits that she might have been severed from, and while he does that he inspects the damage to Blast Off. He even gives Frenzy a quick look over, though it's difficult to tell if anything is broken or in the shape it's supposed to be. All as quickly as he can, because as far as he knows that thing is still out there.
"Pick yourselves up and move it! Blast Off, damage report? Do you think you can transform once we're out?"

Frenzy isn't really hurt. He had a lot of practice making safety-harness cocoons before he trusted Barr'cade.
He disentangles himself, muttering unhappily. Leaps from chair to console. Checks Blast Off's diagnostics and external sensors. Makes a sound like an irritated fax machine. "Water park."

Blast Off pops open a hatch that is not underwater.
His external sensors show show the water park. His internal diagnostics show that he has a lot of internal concussion damage. They seem a bit... censored, though. There are pieces left out.
He says weakly, "If you all get out, I think that I can at least walk, yes."
The rubber alienligators are moving. This isn't odd. Something just splashed into the pool. They just seem to be moving... oddly.

"Thank you, kind sir," she answers Knock Out as she accepts her arm and puts it back in place. With both arms, it's a lot easier to gather up her pieces. Within moments, she's re-assembled and clambering out of the shuttle hatch.

Skipping Knock Out due to timeout.
This is such deep slag, it's over Bonecrusher's head. Frenzy dashes over to peer out at the rubber alienligators. He doesn't want to go out there. The water's deep, the water park toys are stupid, and there's no one to sit on.
Kvetch, kvetch, kvetch. He upticks his optics, backs up, and takes a running leap towards the nearest rubber alienligator, meaning to land on top of it if at all possible.

"Good! You're way too high class to be laying face down in some filthy pool." He ushers the others out and follows quickly, splashing into the water, leaving Blast Off room to transform. But oh it looks like these waters are infested. The doctor pulls out his spear, and will jab it at any rubber gators (how does that even work!?) that come too close.
"While I doubt that these things can hurt any of us other than Frenzy, I think it's a better idea if we get out of here now, Decepticons!" Speaking of the walking chrome stick figure. "HEY! You get eaten, you can punch your own way out!"

The alienligator that Frenzy lands upon attempts to death roll him.
The other alienligators swarm the rest of the Decepticons, and one, caught on Knock Out's prod, has the rubber skin torn off... revealing a robotic armature underneath. The worst thing, however, is that the robotic armature doesn't look designed to go inside a rubber gator skin. It looks cramped and bent, like it was made for another purpose and later jammed inside. Whatever they were made for, however, the gators seem quite intent on latching jaws into the Decepticons to rend them to pieces.
It is into this mess that Blast Off manages to transform. Wearily, he goes for his blaster and shoots the gator nearest him, though there are many others.

When Screwdriver sees the insides of the aliengator, her optics open wide and round and she grins in delight. "All the kind's horses and all the king's men certainly put Humpty together again!"
She pulls from subspace something that looks... like an old fashioned alarm clock, one that's ticking rather loudly. "By lucky chance it swallowed a clock which goes tick tick-" she starts, before she's interrupted as the nearest aliengator bites down on the clock, taking her hand with it. She pouts. "Peter flung my arm to a crocodile that happened to be passing by," she complains.
Then the alarm goes off. It starts rattling violently, and if not brought under control, might well shake the creature apart.

Four hands slam spikes into the alienligator as it rolls. Frenzy screeches invective, which gets weirdly distorted whenever the 'gator dunks him.

Amid all the chaos and flailing alienligators, there is one that, relatively speaking, isn't all that close to the Decepticon team at all. There's a veritable wall of his fellows gnashing their teeth between him and the newcomers. And he isn't attacking, either. In fact, this alienligator appears to be attempting escape, shambling away from the carnage at a pitiably unsteady clip.
