A little something with everyone. Even Ratbat, whom I always (unintentionally) neglect... though his short's a little sad.

Frenzy: Failed Recon

Frenzy had never understood the humans' fascination with ghosts, ghouls, and other ghastly creatures.
Looking out at the little human town, all decorated in mutilated round-ish, orange organic plants; various white pieces of cloth; fake dead bodies, sometimes with equally fake additions like "bloody" weapons or police tape; and a variety of plastic things meant to resemble bats, skeletons, and anything else that could possibly considered "creepy;" Frenzy realized that his lack of understanding was unlikely to change anytime soon.
Unless he asked a human, that is.
He began plotting, growing ever-more eager to finally figure out this strange human tradition. He had figured out Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Remembrance day (that one'd been the easiest); Frenzy was going to figure out Halloween, and nothing the humans did would possibly be able to stop him.

"Hey, nice costume!"
Frenzy nodded at the fourth little human child to compliment him on his "costume" that evening. He'd actually forgotten that the night of all his troubles was tonight. Frenzy'd assumed he'd be able to use intimidation to his favour, but considering the whole point of this tradition was to see who could scare who, he doubted his ability to scare anyone.
Even if he tried, the target(s) would simply assume he wasn't a "real" Decepticon, and actually shooting someone to prove he was would make it a little hard to get the answeres he wanted.
Frenzy walked around a little glumly, unable to seriously question anybody, and unable to actually eat the candy being given out.

Halloween just wasn't his night.

Ravage: How to be a Lawn Ornament

Ravage seriously hated the Autobots. Detested them. Completely, and utterly despised them.

She was going to destroy them.

Just as soon as someone rescued her.

She was stuck to the side of the Ark's entrance, all four paws stuck to the ground. Her transformation cog was disabled (not that her alt-mode would have been very useful), and that damn medic had locked all her gears and joints except for those in her helm, neck, and tail.

It was Halloween night, and the Autobots had decided to, after somehow managing to capture her, use her as a decoration to scare the humans.

Sadly enough, a few hours into being a decoration, Ravage was actually enjoying her temporary job.

She'd stay perfectly still, letting them walk closer without so much as twitching, and then, right when they thought she was a simple static decoration she'd snarl and snap at them.

Their shrieks were bliss against her audials.

She didn't actually hurt them, she was paralyzed and at the mercy of the Autobots after all, but she had a fair bit of fun.

Not that she'd ever admit to it, of course.

And she was still going to obliterate the Autobots.

Laserbeak, Rumble, & Buzzsaw: Bad Candy

Laserbeak stared incredulously at Rumble, "You did what?"

Rumble winced, and then glared at Buzzsaw as he started snickering.

[Rumble]: It's not that funny Buzzer!:

Buzzsaw starts laughing even harder at Rumble's inability to speak aloud, "Sure thing Rummy."

Laserbeak sighs, "You know we're going to have to take you to either Soundwave or Hook."

Rumble slumps in defeat.

[Rumble]: Yeah, okay.:

Laserbeak looks at her bi-pedal twin with something that could possibly be sympathy (but only if one was very good at squinting), "I know that you get urges, Rumble, and I know that it is Halloween, but why you thought it'd be a good idea to try human gummies I doubt I'll ever know."

Ratbat: The Perils of Vampires

Ratbat landed quietly in a tree to observe the crowded street, staring happily at all the little human children dressed up for their strange holiday. A few minutes later a little girl dressed as a bat looked up and spotted him. "Mommy mommy! Look! It's a real bat! And he's got glowing eyes!"

The mother sighed and looked up, obviously not expecting to see Ratbat staring curiously down at her.

She stared in shock for a moment, then pointed and shrieked, "THERE'S A VAMPIRE IN THE TREE!"

Ratbat frowned and glided down, quite prepared to tell the lady that he was definitely not an imaginary bloodsucking undead creature created by humans to scare each other, but once he came into view of the people in the street they all started running away screaming.

The little girl that'd originally spotted him was lifted up and carried away by her terrified mother, and she waved farewell at Ratbat over her mother's shoulder. Ratbat waved a wing back at her, and she smiled at him. It was sweet, and he considered following her so he could talk to someone that wasn't afraid of him, maybe ask a few questions about Halloween.

Then a bullet hit him in the back, and he turned and saw a man holding a shotgun.

He sighed and took off, speeding away into the night and away from the humans and their strange customs.

Soundwave: Lonely Ghost

Soundwave sighed and stared at the monitor.

All his cassettes were out doing Halloween related things.

The other Decepticons were all getting overcharged and eating little energon treats that had been made by various mechs.

That left Soundwave to sit in the command center and monitor everything.

Alone.

He quietly sighed again and glanced at the cameras showing the current state of the rec-room.

Most of the mechs were very, very overcharged by now. The tables were covered in empty cubes, and there were several platters with half-eaten treats scattered about the room.

The Combaticons were having a very intense looking thumb war in a corner.

The Stunticons were singing obscure racing songs in voices Soundwave was quite sure he was glad he couldn't hear.

The Combaticons were trying to build a tower out of empty energon cubes, and failing miserably because they all had the balance of an Earth bird that's just flown into a window.

The Seekers were all in a corner (the one opposite the Combaticons) cuddling and sharing treats.

Even Lord Megatron was there, though he had been foolish enough to challenge the triple changers to a drinking contest.

Loyalty to his lord or not, Soundwave was quite certain Megatron was going to lose.

Badly.

He was pondering heading to his (sadly empty) quarters, and Primus help them all if the Autobots decided to do anything.

He had managed to get all the way to his quarters and open the door, shoving away the loneliness he was feeling, when he heard the unmistakable sound of squabbling in his room.

The loneliness quickly faded as he opened the door and saw Rumble, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw sitting on his berth. Rumble was trying to grab Buzzsaw, but was being restrained by a grinning Laserbeak.

As he entered the trio froze, all turning to stare at him in a variety of amusing poses.

Laserbeak spoke first, "Rumble's got human candy gumming up his voice box."

As if Laserbeak's announcement were magic, the trio started moving again, resuming their previous struggle.

Soundwave smiled beneath his visor and battle mask.

Perhaps he wouldn't be so lonely tonight after all.
