Double engine failure

Hi,
What are the possibilities of a quad engined airplane (744, 340s only) having a simultaneous or one after the other engine failure during takeoff and the speed is v1-10~20kts? Would the airplane be able to climb on 2 engines if its fully loaded? if so what would be the biggest rate of climb in feet per min? what is the biggest of climb on these airplanes if only one engine fails?

Another question kind of relating to the above is what if the PF is the FO and an emergency occurs while taking off, would the captain immediately say "i have control" and perform the takeoff, and do the rest of the emergency, while the FO just helps with ATC and checklists?
