> We should totally find some way to shoehorn it into the roleplay. Like, Blackout gets damaged and is stuck in helicopter form, so he asks one of the passengers to lean out the side and hold their weapon forward.

No, that gets into headmaster/weaponmaster area. that shit  is messed up. *shudders*

But if his weapons control systems get damaged I guess he could order his passengers to man the machine guns. Other than that, there's not many good places for them to shoot their weapons from that I know of. Or something like that.
