(Initial scene: Soundwave alerting Skywarp - in his usual monotone - to
three approaching unknown aircraft, who turn out to be Starscream,
Dreadmoon, and Vapourtrail. Most of the Decepticons' Earth army
is present, as are many refugees from the recent events on Cybertron;
together these groups form the chorus in this musical number.)

SOUNDWAVE: Detecting three unknowns on the radar
Coming down towards our position fast
All cassettes prepare for battle while I call
Air Commander Skywarp
Aircraft approaching now
Need your forces here right now
SKYWARP: Scramble, everybody, get your tails in the air
Soundwave says that we've got some intruders up there
Aerialbots think that they can fly anywhere
Show 'em all what happens to the 'Bots who would dare
Shoot 'em down or drive 'em off, I really don't care
Just teach 'em that they better not mess with Decepticons
Being Air Commander's not a whole lot of fun
Can't wait 'til the Screamer comes on back when he's done
With that screwy bet that he made with Megatron
Now it's up to me to lead the jets while he's gone
Teleport above 'em, get a target lock on - (does so, and sees who the new arrivals are)
Hey, hold your fire, people, they're Decepticons!
Welcome back; what's the occasion
For this little non-invasion?
Have you heard the situation?
We got a real big problem back on Cybertron
STARSCREAM: Meet my crew - behind their doors, see
Energon from roofs to floors, we
Unload them, go back for more, we
Will bring all that we need to rescue Cybertron!
Skywarp, get someone to unload these two
SOUNDWAVE: Shuttles, you have a job to do
(During the individual horn solos, Starscream, Skywarp, and Soundwave organize the Decepticons, Earth-based and refugees, to get Dreadmoon and Vapourtrail unloaded and brief those with shuttle alt-modes on their caravan route.)
CHORUS: It looks like we just might have a chance now...
STARSCREAM: I can't wait to see the look on Megatron's face
Bet that he regrets I wasn't killed by that place
Now that I've successfully established a base
He'll have to admit to me that I've made my case
Stepped out of his shadow now, I've earned my own space
And lead my own Decepticons
SKYWARP: Thanks for recommending me before, by the way
I find your job more annoying than I can say
STARSCREAM: Actually what I told Megatron on that day
Was that he then finally could get his own way
Now that Nightbird's quite recovered from my null-ray
SKYWARP: You really are a vicious 'con.
CHORUS: Both the shuttles emptied and they're ready to go
Back out to the Stormworld with the others in tow
While we stack the energon cubes row upon row
Here inside the space-bridge; soon we'll send 'em and so
We'll get Cybertron back into orbit, we know
STARSCREAM: It fills my circuits up with glee
Thanks to my crew and me
Soon Cybertron will be
Back where it should be
Everyone will see
Who saved Cybertron!
SOUNDWAVE: Activating space-bridge shipment to Sector One now.
(Soundwave's last word and the final chord are drowned out by the sound of the space-bridge activating, sending Starscream and the first installment of the energon shipment to Cybertron.)
