Ok, so the Renegades are escaping the prison moon.
To make things easier for yourselves, you are going to have to see what's still working on the ship in order to escape.
Latyrx7 has already ruled out shooting back at your pursuers since they'll probably be Autobots.
You will have to explore other options and see if they are available to you.
I have already provided some basic means to help with your escape.
YOU MUST SUPPLY THE EFFORT.

Through the ship's front viewer, Roadtrain saw an explosion after he had asked his question. The bay doors began to open.
Bomblast felt another explosion behind him, the Autobots had laid breaching chargers on the doors and blown them open. Now, they were pouring in and firing at the ship. Buckshot let go of what his free hand was holding to activate the ship's com.
+++COM+++ "Yes, we're all on board! Get us out of here!" +++COM+++
He then grabbed on again and hoped Bomblast could get up the ramp before Roadtrain took off. If not, at least he could pull him in with his grapple hook and line. At least in theory.

"Fine, have it your way I suppose." Knockout activated the ship's rear cargo doors, opening a way in and extending the boarding ramp. "No accounting for taste." Roadtrain made it up the ramp first and into the ship.
In the cargo whole were containers upon containers. Many of them weren't strapped down properly and most were sealed closed. What was inside was anyone's guess.
Latyrx7 overhead Air Fang about sending off the mines. "You did what? You fired off heat seeking mines? Those are properly Autobots after us! Are you trying to get the entire Autobot army after us?"
From the other side of the hanger doors, the Renegades could hear explosions going off. "Now you've done it. If we've killed just one Autobots, they'll never stop hunting us down. And they won't capture us, they'll kill us on site." Latyrx7 seriously thought about wounding Air Fang in the leg and leaving him behind, giving the Autobots the one reason for the death's of who ever his heat-seeking mines may have killed. But thought better of it. After all, Latyrx7 didn't know most of these Renegades who were inmates just a astro-cycle before. "Forget the extra explosions, Bomblast get on board. You too, Air Fang. Everyone move!"
Knockout hadn't wasted anytime and was on board the ship. He made his way in quickly to avoid getting in anyone's way and didn't want to get trampled on. As he took to the lower decks, he saw a section that looked like a medical room. "Hello, what have we here?" Sure enough, Knockout had found the medical room. Full of tools, medical equipment, portable rechargers, spare parts, a 3D printer for making new parts, tubes, wires, connectors, circuit boards and even an operating table completel with a full body scanner. "Oh my. I may have to take back my original comment. I think I'm in love!"
Buckshot waited on the ramp for everyone to come aboard. Hoist passed him followed by Indelible, Air Fang and Latyrx7. Bomblast was stopped by Buckshot who motioned to the bay doors. "We got to blow the bay doors control or we're locked in. You got the fire power, use it!" On control panel were visible on the left side of the ramp, just under the nameless ship, several meters in front of the ship. From that position it was a tricky shot. Bomblast could move away from the ship for a better angle but banging was heard on the other side of the hanger doors. The mines hadn't stopped everyone.
Buckshot ran up the ramp then threw down his grapple hook. "Shoot it then hang on!" Buckshot grabbed hold of something solid and made sure no one else was inside the cargo hold.
Deeper inside the ship. Latyrx7 grabbed Hoist and Indelible. "Roadtrain says he can fly this thing. But he's going to need a co-pilot and a navigator. What can you two do?" Latyrx7 saw Air Fang looking around. "And you! Stay away from any armaments! No gunnery duty for you. You'll have the galactic alliance after us next."
Roadtrain found the cockpit. Everything looked in order except for dusty controls. There was a three stations; the pilot and co-pilot station with two seats right up front, a communication station and a navigation console complete with radar and long range scanners. The vessel was a standard Autobot transport, very old but state of the art for it's time. Every thing looked to be in working order, but of course the only way to know for sure would be to perform a systems check and test her out. But did they have time for that? Roadtrain saw a manifest on the pilot seat. At the top of the crew list he saw the pilot's name, a Captain Warburn had flown this vessel which didn't have a name, but merely a ship id of 09-20-2002-08-19-2003.

Since I won't be able to post until Tuesday at the latest, you guys can fly out on the ship and take liberties with the action.

"AAAARGH!!! My leg, you broke my leg!!" Screamed Showgrrrl as her leg fell apart at the knee. She then fell on her face, "I'll kill you for that!!""Umm, yeah. I hear ya, Roadtrain, Let's get out of here, Oize Boize!!" Roadtrain and Buckshot took off for the open door where Air Fang was laying down cover fire. They passed Bomblast on the way. "Hey, tank dude! Stop flirting, it's time to go!"Latyrx7 and Indelible landed at the door. "Indelible and Air Fang, get going. I'll take it from here." Said Latyrx7 as he began to lay down cover fire, taking down anyone who fired on him. Soon Roadtrain, Buckshot and Bomblast were through the door following Indelible and Air Fang, who could see Hoist and Knockout just up ahead. Latyrx7 stepped through the doorway and activated the blast doors and lock it with the fully operational control panel on the other side. As the doors closed shut, Latyrx7 stood there, proud of himself. "I love it when a plan comes together."That's when sparks flew out from the middle of the door as laser cutters began to bore their way through. "I hate uninvited company." Said Latyrx7 as he transformed to catch up to the others. As Knockout found the hanger, he stopped and looked on in disappointment. "Oh great. Only one spaceship in the entire hanger and it's a piece of junk."Hoist, Indelible, Air Fang, Road Train, Bomblast and Latyrx7 finally reached the hanger and saw their own means of escape. "I like it." Said Latyrx7 as laser blasts began to fly over head. "Everyone on board. And does anyone know how to fly that thing?"

So, I was watching Transformers Cyberverse the other day, first time watching it btw, and I watched a episode called 'The Loop'.
SPOILERS!!
It involves Quintessons taking over Cybertron and they have both Autobots and Decepticons in some sort of stasis to drain their spark energy. Its a Matrix rip off btw. But some of the Quintessons look to have the same tentacles as they do in Reactivate. Same with the super large tentacles all around the ground and in the ruins in the images for TFR.
I feel like the studio putting together TFR are using this story as inspiration. Quintessons and their looks. Autobots and Decepticons in stasis who need to be reactivated. And the one who are free from stasis are a mix of bots and cons who have joined together to battle the Quints, like in the game.

Knockout inspected one of the walls of the corridor and saw several lines of various colours running left and right. Each coloured line had an area listed with them, indicating where they lead to. "Lets see, hanger, hanger, hanger, there it is! The hanger is this way. Come on, Hoist."
Knockout transformed before Hoist could catch him and drove off in the direction of the hanger. "Now I get to play hard to get!"
Indelible tried to move but the Autobot with the gun and a few others wouldn't let him. "Going somewhere? I don't think."
"He's with me!" Said Latyrx7 as he pushed his way through the Autobots. Latyrx7 grabbed Indelible and activated his rocket pack. The two flew over the heads of the Autobots, who tried to shoot them down as they escaped and headed towards the door. "Not a bad bit of rescue if I do say so mysefl!"

I have a few ideas.
NO ONE DIES!!
Just kidding. I think I'd Ultra Magnus far more competent and really sell him as a character. And make him the new leader. Maybe that would of screwed up the whole Prime thing but still, he deserves better.
Kup would be a drunk. I mean, we already have Ironhide... well ok, he dies. But we had the old veteran, why have another? Kup is Ironhide with more war stories. I'd had Kup as a old drunk whose best days are behind him. And he gets put with Hot Rod as a last chance to get this act together.
More Hot Rod. I like Hot Rod better then Rodimus Prime. And I think the whole chosen one could of been built on a lot more. Seasons of a TV show could be dedicated to this.
Springer would be more arrogant and an a******.
Blurr, not so much the comic relief and more of a show off, like Hot Rod in fact.
Arcee would be more like Arcee in TFP.
What about you?

As he got closer, Knockout saw that Air Fang had opened the door. The former Decepticons didn't hesitate and made for the way out of this crazy battle, he didn't care if Hoist took him seriously or anyone else. As far was he as considered, in his mind he did all he could to contribute to escaping.
Walking up behind Air Fang, "Good job, now excuse me!" Knockout pushed Air Fang out of his way of the doorway and continued onwards.

"Air Fang, what's your malfunction?!" Shouted Buckshot. "We need to get out of here and you want to throw bombs into a crowd?!" Buckshot found a set of doors. Locked tight with security measures in place, Buckshot checked a area map next to the doors and saw they could get to the hangers if they opened them. "Get this doors open, Air Fang. Hack it, blow them up I don't care. I'm headed back into the fight to pull Roadtrain and the others out." Buckshot left Air Fang to find the others.
Latyrx7 saw Indelible trying to talk to Optimus Prime. "What is he doing?" Latyrx7 made his way towards Indelible, wondering why he was going out of his way to help someone who he just met, figuring he still had some Autobot left within him.
As Indelible tried to reason with the Autobot leader, he found himself facing the business end of a blaster as one of Prime's Autobots got in front of him. "Messing with the Prime? You're lucky I'm not allowed to shoot first and ask where I can bury you later, pal!"
Buckshot ran up a flight of stairs, knocking and blasting any inmate in the way. He arrived at the top and was over Roadtrain and the Autobots fighting him. With a foot on the rail, Buckshot pushed himself up and off the upper level. "Incoming!!" Buckshot landed on top of Roadtrain and the Autobots, and began punching and kicking straight away. "Hell of a party, eh?"
Knockout saw Air Fang in the distance standing next to a sealed door. Knockout thought to himself that he could sneak away from Hoist and join up with Air Fang seeing that he may have found a way out, but reconsidered the notion seeing that he could still rely on Hoist's muscle. "Excuse me, but I think that one may have found a way out." Knockout said to Hoist as he pointed towards Air Fang.
As Bomblast continued smacking away anyone who challenged him, he could heard something coming up behind him. Before he could react, he was hit in the back from behind and tumbled into the wall. He was hit so hard he almost went through the wall and made an incredible dent. When he looked up, he saw a large femech, as large as he was, ready to fight some more. "The name's Shogrrrl. And I'm the badest inmate in here. You think you're tough? Let's see what you got!" Shogrrrl leapt up with the intention of dropping a knee in Bomblast's face.

Optimus Prime caught himself before he fell, holding his chin. He looked at Roadtrain and nodded, "That was out of line. But I understand." Then delivered an upper cut catching Roadtrain under his chin. Before Roadtrain could retaliate, a bunch of Prime's Autobots swarmed him. Punching, kicking and using their firearms as melee weapons, the Autobots were hell bent on bringing Roadtrain down.

"This needs to stop!" Shouted Optimus, but the inmates weren't listening, They were gunning for the Autobots and fighting with themselves. It was a frenzied fight, with everyone fighting someone as if the last survivor was the name of the game. Blades were used to hack off limbs and laser bolts flew all over the area. It was as if the world had gone completely crazy.
Buckshot heard what Air Fang told him. "I don't take orders from you! Who cares about the assassin, they're probably dead all ready!" Buckshot directed his aim at anyone trying to get close to him and his comrades. "Hey, L7! What are we doing?"
Ducking down and moving all about to avoiding getting shot, Latyrx7 was clearing himself a path to Buckshot and Air Fang. "We are leaving, that's what were doing. We're taking those loyal to us and making a break for it. Heavy Assault brought this on himself and I ain't sticking around to become Prime's lackey. Now move."
Buckshot didn't waste anytime and took off, trying to think where the hanger bay would be to find them a ship. "Hey, Air Fang! You coming or what? We need to figure out where the hanger is."
Latyrx7 ran for Bomblast as he saw he was crushing two Renegades. "Bomblast, when your done with those two,"" Said Latyrx7 just as their heads popped. "Gross. Anyways, follow me. We got to get the others out." Latyrx7 ran back into the crowd, blasting away, hoping Bomblast would follow him. A head of him, Latyrx7 saw the one called Indelible. He ran for him, seeing as he looked as if he could use a hand getting out of here.
Knockout smirked. "Why, Hoist, You're not flirting with me, are you?" Unseen to Hoist, an inmate ran at him with a shotgun, clearly trying to shoot him at point blank range. Knockout activated his chainsaw and sliced the arm off of the attacker. "I'll watch your back if you rub mine." Hoist's would be attacker didn't stop as he tried to grab the shotgun with his other hand.
As Roadtrain fought, he soon found himself pushed closer to the Autobots. As a group of inmates tried to break the Autobot ranks, Optimus Prime lead a charge to meet their attackers head on. Inmates and ex-Decepticons were scattered about from the devistating Autobot offensive as they fell over each other and ran away. In the chaos, Optimus and and group of his Autobots came crashing past Roadtrain. The Autobot leader paused as he saw a familiar face. "You?!"

It's not so much the size of the room but how there is a mix of renegades, inmates and Autobots and Decepticons. Using an explosion weapon like the bomblaster would do more damage then a scatter blaster.
Imagine a regular human jail cell. If the inmates stole a shotgun, like the scatter blaster, off a guard during a jail break and used it, if the user used it properly then they would shoot only who they intended to shoot with little chance of shooting an unintended target.
But using a grenade launcher, like the bomblaster, not so much. Shrapnel from the blast might hit some of the inmate's friends.
Now it Transformers terms, most settings where the action or story takes place, the environment is much bigger then what you would expect in human terms. And that's because Transformers come in all shapes and sizes. So rooms, doors, spaceships and sometimes control station are made for small, medium and large Transformers in mind.
I would consider the room you're in to be very large. And there are at least a few hundred robots in there fighting.
Now just because Bomblaster didn't use his grenade launcher that doesn't mean someone else won't......

Heavy Assault looked at all the robots surrounding him. He looked at his Renegades. He looked at the Renegades who had just betrayed him. Then he looked at the rest of the convicts.
And then he laughed.
"Don't bore us with your speech, Prime! We owe you nothing. You locked us up in here, even froze us to spend the rest of eternity in here! And now you speak of what we owe Cybertron? You can't be serious."
I am. There is an evil out there that isn't discriminating against anyone. Autobot, Decepticon, Neutral or Renegade. And not just Cybertronian life, but other species and other worlds. There will be nothing left it we don't stop this threat until it's too late."
Heavy Assault gave Optimus a hard long look. "All right, lets say we do fight together, under your command, I assume. What's in it for us besides our survival. Because it has to be more than that!"
I can't promise you much. But I can grant you your freedom if we win this battle."
"Promise us our freedom? Well, my crew and I were about to take our freedom for ourselves. Freedom isn't given, it's fought for until the other sides who's trying to hold you down is long gone. Look around you, Prime. Your surrounded by hundreds of Renegades, hundreds of ex-Autobots, hundreds of Decepticons and ex-Decepticons and by my rough estimate maybe a couple thousand convicts. All of which are sick of you! You came here for my army but you can't have it. And no, I won't fight this enemy of yours on your behalf either. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy and not mine! But you should consider yourself lucky today. Because today, I'm going to ket you walk out of here. Since you're having trouble with some unstoppable force who am I to stop you from meeting your doom? I have much better things to do, like finding me a planet and culling the weak out of my ranks." Heavy Assault said as he glared at Latyrx7. "But thank you, Prime, Thanks for setting us free."
"Actually, you are mistaken. We did not set you free." Replied Optimus.
"See, I told you." Whispered Knockout to Hoist.
Heavy Assault was confused. "What are you talking about? Of course you did. If not you then who?
From behind Optimus and his Autobots, a laser bolt streaked across the room, striking Heavy Assault in the back of the head, knocking him down to the floor. Everyone who on in shock as the Renegade leader laid motionless, with energon leaking out of his head. Latyrx7 looked down at his commander, in shock. Someone actually had the guts to take a shot at one of the most powerful Cybertronians to ever live while his entire army was present with thousands of inmates.
Latyrx7 realized things were about to get bad.
All the Renegades loyal to Heavy Assault, who had their weapons trained on Hoist and the others, turned on the Autobots. Optimus raised his hand as his Autobots readied and aimed their guns. "Wait! It wasn't us. I gave no order to fire!"
"Liar!" Someone shouted. "Kill them! Kill them all!"
The Renegades began to open fire on the Autobots, who fired back in defence. Inmates began to fight with who ever was closest to them as gun fire erupted and laser bolts and bullets flew everywhere.
Buckshot kicked some of his former comrades away from him, to give him space. With his heavy machine gun loaded, Buckshot was ready for action as he started to spray bullets at anyone who wasn't one of his Renegades. "LETS ROCK"
