Despite Ironhide's distaste for the criminal mech, the shots are aimed as carefully as they can manage in their current state. Like him or not, Prime wanted him alive - and he'd just attempted to save the Prime by tackling the beast himself. That at least earned caution regarding where they shot.
Optimus' optics flared as he fought the spark-pain, trying to regain enough control to join the fight. The Sparkeater's attacks were growing more desparate, smaller neck joints and components beginning to crackle and pop under the strain despite the tearing tentacles jerking wilding at the former miner.
Roaring with the effort, Optimus lunged. He wouldn't be able to do much, but at least falling on the tendril at Megatron's back and keeping it pined with his weight would be useful.
