[Swerve is nothing if not a mech who works with what he has. What he has now is materials to make straws. What he doesn't have is his lower jaw.
He spends the first few minutes after Tailgate runs off horrified with what has happened choking on his own energon. He passes out. He wakes up wondering what's happened to Tailgate, then chokes some more. He reaches for the dresser and passes out again. This goes on for a while, either him passing out from energon loss or pain. It takes him some time, willpower, and a sharp piece of glass from who knows what to slice into himself and rig up tubing so he doesn't end up flooding his systems and somehow managing to extinguish his spark with his own lifeblood.
He cuts. He twists in piping. He passes out. He wakes up and remembers what went on and what happened. He starts again. By the time Magnus finds him, whenever he finds him, Swerve has managed to pass out in the middle of starting to try and fix whatever passes for the electrical wiring of his lower jaw.
