"Hn," is all Wreckage can find to answer Shrapnel. The Insecticon's talk of dying makes no sense to him – if this is death, it is the most miserable, insufferable death the All Spark could have granted him – so he simply shrugs it off at first. After a few seconds and that request from the commander, he adds, "Was there a speech from Starscream?"

Ah, hushed respect, and it only took two prompts and a single firing of a laser weapon. A new record!
"My Decepticons, Predacons, Vehicons," Starscream says to the gathered group, not even bothering to check if there are in fact any Vehicons present.
"Today is a grand day for our united cause. After our alliance with the other-dimensional Autobots destroyed the headquarters of the local Autobot contingent and we have since disposed of our allies, we are now ready to begin the quest to return to Cybertron, and learn more about why we have found ourselves together.
"It is my belief that nothing short of destiny herself is the reason for our arrival in this empty system. It was no mere chance that we find ourselves removed from our home times and places, and put here, among our extradimensional bretheren. We have already struck a major blow against our enemies. With this finely-crafted vessel we are now boarding, we are one step closer to learning our true purpose."
Starscream extends a hand of acceptance to his gathered units. "Though we not all be from the same world, though the people around you may bear the name of someone you know but not their appearance, we are all united in cause. Decepticon, Predacon, these are just words. Every one of us is loyal to the belief behind them. That we know that force conquers all. And that once we learn of our destiny," his hand clenches into a fist as he raises his forearm, "we will turn it into one that will serve us, as Decepticons across millenia have done!"
He gestures to the ship. "Come with me, my loyal warriors. The next step in our united faction's history awaits us!"

Dead End turns to Blitzwing and says quite softly, "So Screamer finally got to give that speech. I half-expected Cyclonus and Galvatron to crash the party again."

"Unicron could still show up and try to eat the moon." Blitzwing replies, glancing back behind himself, just in case.
"Or us."

"No, no, if you want to sound like me, you have to be more firmly negative," Dead End replies. "Say 'Unicron will probably show up and eat the planet just before we make our last, desperate effort to escape'."
"If I were someone else, I'd point out that the Autobots have Rodimus Prime, who solved the Unicron problem last time. On the other hand... the Autobots will probably leave before we do, so we get to face Unicron alone. Or perhaps we'll meet it in deep space. Just how fast is this ship?"

"Woo," Jetstorm states, before going to carefully pat Lugnut on the shoulder. "Nice talkin with ya," he states, before darting into the ship.
Time to claim a bit of the ship as his own! But where would that be? Only time will tell.

"Those are problems for another day. Right now, my only worry is if my bunk will be big enough." Blitzwing says as he starts walking towards the ship.

At Starscream's grand speech, Screwdriver jumps up and down, whistles, and claps her hands. "Encore! Encore!" Then she whistles again, applauding wildly.
This is all together a bit odd since she, as a Junkion, is the only person here part of a faction that Starscream didn't bother to list.

At least Wreckage is spared from starting the cheer. His answer to Starscream's speech, following Screwdriver's calls for an encore by a second or two, is a wordless bellow and one raised fist. It rings of enthusiasm for such an apathetic soldier.
He has a lot of nearby disinterest to counterbalance.

Misfire give some polite cheers and claps, nothing too enthusiastic, or overtly loud. It isn't his way to set himself out like that. But he feels Starscream's words were well chosen, and that the Seeker is a decent leader. He deserves respect, and a bit more reaction than he seems to be getting from the crowd.
Speaking of, Misfire gives Fleetwind a soft nudge in the side and, smiling at his friend, gives a jerk with his head toward Starscream. "I'd rather stand out for supporting then stand out for not, if ya know what I mean," he murmurs.
nudging Fleet done w/ permission.

"BOOH-YAH!" Duskwing pumps his fist in the air and cheers rowdily. "LET'S LAUNCH THIS SLAGGER!'

Blackout considers before saying anything. Cheering for Lord Megatron would probably go over poorly, and Starscream's voice grates on him enough when it's not directed specifically at him. Instead, he raises a fist in the air, loosing a shattering bellow of "GLORY TO THE DECEPTICONS!" On his shoulder, Scorponok joins in with a loud chitter of his own, flailing claws in the air.

Fleetwind is nudged! He begins clapping politely as he leans over towards Misfire.
"You make an excellent point."
The important thing is not to be the loudest or the most enthusiastic, nor the quietest and least enthusiastic. Since there are some people here not clapping at all, while there are others shouting for encores, Fleetwind is pretty safe.

Counterpunch spends a few moments sullenly glowering at the crowd. Then, after that moment to make it clear that he hates everyone else here, but that there are other things he hates more, he pumps his own fist into the air and, echoing Blackouts sentiment (if not his words), shouts, "Victory to the Decepticons! Death to all that oppose us!"

Spinister thrusts an almost threatening fist in the air, and he hollers, quite possibly louder than anyone has ever heard him.
(Possibly Needlenose has heard Spinister louder but never, ever in public.)
Really, who knew Spinister's volume settings even went that high?
Then, he falls as dreadfully silent as he's been so far, and he stares at the other Decepticons, particularly the ones that aren't cheering or the ones that are cheering less enthusiastically. Look. The leader just did a speech. If you aren't joining in with the appreciation, your dedication to the cause is suspect.
