Welcome to Maccadam’s Old Oil House!
We’re gonna have a good time, yall!
I see all the movers and shakers are in the building.
Now you know the rules. No Autobots or Decepticons
The war stays outside. This is neutral ground for the sound, ya dig?
Colony Velocitron, Caminus, I see you. Giving a special shout out to nebulous.
We’re broadcasting in the dead universe, Planet of Junk and beyond.
So, turn up your audio receptors and disengage your equilibrium circuits.
We are going to Throwback with CatsEye2TheCosmos.
Let’s come together with these bars to celebrate the Mics of Cybertron.

[Night Train's Verse]
...Turn it up!
Golden Lagoon impervious!
You said no mercy...Now plead for it!
I thought you were made of sterner stuff!
I’ve had enough. Burn it up!
If you ain’t heard of us
I’m Galvatron. I’m murderous.
Coming at me but you nervous bruh!
.....
...When will you learn
I’m back like a Titan Returned
I might..have had a concern
Spreading that madness
But I coated myself with a metal
To handle the burn!
(Whoo!) I’m not waiting my turn
(Whoo!) Combiner and I’m gonna merge
(Whoo!) Watch the way I swerve
(Whoo!) Wheels are hittin the curb
Sound-blasting that soundstage
Like city bot make the ground shake
My city block separate
Robot chickens claiming fowl play
Crown me for my coronation
I’m ghost.... and Scourge is waiting
I’m po...ssessing Waspinator
I know...I’ll make the better leader
...Night Train and WordBurglar
You nerds heard it. We go further
Than Grimlock when his rage is up
In Dino mode and he go berserk
I know for sure...I’ll be at Maccadam’s
Life is great! Dirty mech fluid;
Fembots, minus their torso plate!
The ways she shake it make me wanna BOUNCE!

Peace Through Tyranny
04:00

Oppression…
starts micro aggressions
Ignoring the concerns
that cause our depression
The cause and effect
That causes rejection
Of an ideology that doesn’t
par with your message
You peddle your lies for power
But coward and hide
Behind enforcers and sentinels
That do what they’d like!
Do what you want...
but I highly advise
That you reconsider what you do
That’s hurting our lives
Cause you might not too happy
If we put up a fight
It’s the kind of stuff we do
That keeps you up all night!
In gladiatorial pits
a leader with rise!
To start revolution
For every robot in disguise
We were built for conquest
...Not this frivolous nonsense
Don’t get mad cause I’m conscious
Of the fact you want to stagger my progress
..If you really want peace
Let us rule in the process
[HOOK]
I see it clearly You’re not hearing me
...You don’t take us seriously
Unless you’re fearing me
You haven’t seen a revolution like this
Pick a side or die
We gon take it to the end of the line!
Fusion cannons locked and loaded and ready to fight!
No mercy! Seekers up in the sky!
Instruments of destruction...you’re not seeing me
The only way to survive
is peace through tyranny!
(Megatron Quote)
The revolution was not only televised
Our communication officer made sure it was worldwide
Took the Apex armor off of Sentinel Prime
Used it as a throne watching light fade from eyes.
Went to crystal city to recruit a new team
Bent them to my will and made them fight Omega Supreme
You started this war! It’s time for finish it.
Resources on the planet diminishing.
But we’re aren’t giving in!
Capture your fiercest warriors for Shockwaves experiments!
I am not stopping!....
And if I take the world with me then that is my problem!
Not bad for someone you tried to break that started from the bottom!
[HOOK]
I see it clearly You’re not hearing me
...You don’t take us seriously
Unless you’re fearing me
You haven’t seen a revolution like this
Pick a side or die
We gon take it to the end of the line!
Fusion cannons locked and loaded and ready to fight!
No mercy! Seekers up in the sky!
Instruments of destruction...you’re not seeing me
The only way to survive is peace through tyranny!
Scramble!...
You only talk peace when you’re out of ammo!
The illusion of freedom is canceled!
Do whatever it takes! Doesn’t matter anymore, even if I lose my soul!...
...Sell it to the devil for a new alternative mode!
And I don’t give a damn...if planet explodes!
I will take another planet...and bleed it dry!
Whatever it takes to...just to feed my Empire!
There’s a handful that said I might have been out of line
But they really didn’t even survive!
Gotta a second in command that’s treacherous than I
To alleviate any surprise...it keeps me alive!
(Megatron Quote)

King Kong vs Godzilla
Megatron vs a robot gorilla
Decimating your village
Scaring all the civilians!
Save the women and children
Bringing doom like the mad villain
Going back to the mad millions
Of years that led to this moment
saw your soldiers in the forest
Didn’t think I would notice.
Velociraptors your cloning
So you can ambush opponents
This is not metaphoric
Getting so prehistoric
when you witness the horror
Terrorize is the battle cry
Nowhere to run and hide
It’s probably asinine!
They have the golden disc
I’m bout to maximize
The safety protocols on
I’m bout to override
I leave you paralyzed
You’re in a state of shock
I’m about to pulverize
Leave you all in stasis lock!
I’m a maniac!..Okay!.. Reload!
…Time to show you all
the real meaning of Beast Mode!
Hook:
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST!
I’m talking Titans!
Scorponok and Trypticon are fighting
Robots in disguise that aren’t disguising
As much as they are surprising
How much machine is inside them
Versus how much animal is deep inside them
...Roaring and biting
We went from Dinobots, Insecticons
Monsterbots and Terrocons
Tape cassette entourage
To Maximals and Predacons
Radiation is making me
choose another form
An era of primal aggression
that will carry on
…….. (Beast Wars computer scanning voice)
A life form is scanned
Literally, I’m the Product
of my environment
You jumped out of the fire
Into the frying pan
…I’m still bringing more heat
Than a fire ant (Buuuurn!)
…Lions and tigers and bears!
Oh my!
Rats, Rhinos, and Dinosaurs
I know why
You go hide…
To let the Rampage roll by
No lie! I heard he’s untouchable
And indestructible!
Hook:
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST MODE!
BEAST MODE! BEAST!
I’m a Transmetal thanks to an alien vessel
Never settle. Put the pedal to metal
You better bet I battle badder when feral
….(Growl!)
And all I do is take it to a new level!
Tentacles, mandibles, claws, jaws
Making you mental!
You sleep on me or nod off
Your arm gets gnawed off until it falls off!
It doesn’t matter, the jungle laws or Fuzors
…I make sure everything remains raw!
…I make sure everything remains raw!
…I make sure everything remains raw!
…I make sure everything remains roar!
Aye yo! Ya’ll need to stop playing around! Protoform X was on the Axalon! I’m telling you! I picked up a trans warp sub-space transmission! He goes by Rampage now or something! His beast mode is like a crab or some kind of tank! I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on! Be careful! He leveled Colony Omicron! Depth Charge! Depth Charge, do you read me? Depth Charge, come in!
This is Depth Charge. I’m here with Night Train 357, you crab cake!

Lady Bot
03:21
|

She’ll make an eagle soar
And make a wolf wanna howl
But there’s more to this widow
Than a femme fatale
Bell Biv DeVoe been trying
Say this for awhile
That girl is poison
Don’t trust a big butt and a smile
Hmmm… but I’m digging her style
Multiverse travel
to another dimension
She never let’s go
when she grabs with her pincers
Caught up in her web
Soon as I have entered
Ever relentless
always ready
Nicked name her Venus
...Cause she’s hot and she deadly!
Lady bot of the century
Whether a maximal protoform
Or Autobot sentry
No one since Elita One
Could squeeze til empty
Spinning webs of intrigue
Avoid her bad side
Cause she's less than friendly.
Black widow spider
And let her temp me
Her bite raise your blood pressure
Exponentially.
Where the ladies at?
…Slice through
like a Sensei
Autobot flyer
calling her Windblade
Fan made crimson
Same color as hand maid
Tales of vengeance
And repentance
Ever relentless
Depending on the story that told
Details change
But not her defenses
Turbines on her wing
That will spin you senseless
Don’t get tempted
She’ll cut through the center
— She’s airborne getting you lifted
You can’t handle this Council candidate
From Colony Caminus
thinking it’s unanimous
Leaving you enamored
Telepathic City speaker
that talking to Fortress Maximus
It comes to battle
and the cons are inadequate
Any challenge in her way
She finds a way to master it
She’s in the cyberverse
When the enemy attacks
even helping Bumblebee
get his memories back!
Where the ladies at?
Convertible top down.
White pink…looking mean
Baddest thing on four wheel
And two if she leans!
Feeling Hot Rod
Til the 3rd season of Spring
Her…blades are sharpened
Proceed with caution
Team player but she lost some partners…
Cliffjumper, Tailgate…
Still keeping the cons up at a stalemate
School teacher. Omnibot..They’ll say
For 30 years she was the lady bot fail safe
Daniel Witwicky…Jack Darby!
Lost her memory cause of Rachet
regain it cause of Sari!
All she…gotta do is adjust the car seat
Hit the road with Marrisa and Carly!
They calling her Arcee!
Airachnid’s arch
And Rattrap’s auntie
I’m thinking she got me
She killing me softly
…But get on her bad side and you’ll notice that the price is costly!

Robots in Disguise
03:32

I disappear on a note
First you see me now you don’t
I am ghost
A secret that few people know
..Here in a flash
Then gone like I’m smoke
Disguise is my life
Adapting to grow
Robot as first
Scanning the area
Locate indigenous forms
…So I can find myself an alternate mode
Whoa!..… where did I go?
Up in air or driving the road?
Maybe in water, cruising the coast
Your music device or the gun that you tote!
...I could be anywhere, though
…I make it easy
to move around freely
…Some of you doubters
will still not believe me
<But the fact remains>
You cannot see me.
Robots in Disguise
Robots in Disguise
Robots in Disguise
Robots in Disguise
Wait a minute. Deception is key
But got more tricks up my sleeve
Disappearing like I’m Samus from Metroid Dread…avoiding EMMI’s and other sentries
Believe…half of what you hear
…And none of what you see
Holograms covering secret discoveries
Someone is watching.
The spies are all hovering….
(Change cadence)
More dangerous that triple changer
Like a robot jet or a mobile tank
Or the helicopter that becomes the arm
Of a bigger robot that combines his form!
Oh you want more?…A dinosaur?
Maybe an animal ready to roar
Or maybe my head comes off and transforms
To another fighter that will carry the war!
Robots in Disguise

Frontline
04:19

With everything I’ve seen,
there’s nothing in the universe to
convince me freedom isn’t
the right of every sentient being.
And every person should be
Treated like a king or queen
….We need a leader that can
See this dream
Someone that can uplift the legacy
Someone who can stand their ground when they challenge his integrity
He's just a soldier, but let it be.
..It’s kind of heavy
The weight of the world that he’s carrying
— After all is said and done
You’ve never walked; you’ve never run
You’re a winner like when all is won
You’re-ready-to-fight-them all at once
Leading from the front
Wisdom of the ages on your chest
Like the Glowing the sun.
A true believer here to break the meter
Crashing through the opposition like an eighteen-wheeler! I’m diving deeper
Just give me one shot one time
..And see what happens when he’s standing with his troops at the frontline!
…I see you standing at the frontline!
Can’t be on the sideline…
forever idle
You’re involvements in the mission
is very vital!
…You have every right to fight
for your survival
Stand your ground with an energy axe
and laser rifle!
A firefight commanding Broadside
and Fireflight
To fire back with your friends
fighting by your side!
…Throughout the darkness
There is alway light!
…Fight through the pain
Cause it’s part of life!
—
…You never bend …you never break!
(Pause)You seem to know… just what it takes!
You’re fighter and there’s no debate!
It’s very rare that they know the stakes!
Keep on marching They’ll follow the pace!
…Hit the ground and target outer space
Until the day you meet the enemy face-to-face
They can’t stop you when all powers are combined
Facing an army of deception at the FRONTLINE!
…I see you standing at the frontline!
