P.S... Halloween Prank gone wrong. *Snickers*
Wolf Mystic - Nope. Prowl offlined, and I'd honestly be surprised if he was the only one. LOL

(Normal POV)
Two Corvettes drove down the road slowly, pausing in front of some houses and skipping others. The windows were so tinted, no one could see who was inside, or what they were doing, but every time they paused, they caught a lot of attention.
'We're supposed to lie low.' Sideswipe eyed a group of teenagers dressed in darker colors with dark face paint and many metallic additions to their faces warily. 'Man, I don't like how they're looking at me.'
'They' being a group of teens who were eyeing the cars much more appreciatively than the said Corvettes wanted.
'You think I do? The one with the crowbar especially.' Sunstreaker sped up a little, driving beyond the staring oddity of a group of teens. 'And we are undercover. Well...as undercover as two Corvettes can be in this neighborhood.'
They went silent as they scanned the neighborhood before driving off. To the naked eye, it would seem like nothing out of the ordinary happened, but the twins were making plans as they went. On the way back to the base, the separated to get things ready with plans to meet up again that night.
(Later)
'You got him to help?' The disbelief could be heard in Sunstreaker's voice as he went to one house, in human holoform, and his twin went to the other across the street. When no one was looking, they pulled out the candle in the jack-o-lantern and inserted a small pop bottle. Then he grimaced and seemed to choke on a gag while grabbing a bag of pumpkin goop, scooping out handfuls and filling the pumpkin. Disgusting!!
Sideswipe shot his twin a smirk, brushing his long blonde hair out of his face before leaning over another lantern and doing the same. 'Yep. Just be careful, it's set to go off in two hours, give or take.' He quickly rushed to the next house, doing the same there, grimacing at the warm mushiness of the pumpkin innards all over his holo-hands. He made sure the jack-o-lanterns were a few feet from the porches of the house, before taking a step back, observing his work, and heading back to his real body to grab more bottles.
'How did he set it up? The crystals are volatile.' Sunny had done three houses by now, and was waiting for his twin, who was taking slightly longer, being a little more careful with the bottles. "You don't have to be that careful!" He hissed quietly.
"Yeah, actually, you do!" Sideswipe paused a moment, hearing a movement in the house. He hastily dropped the bottle in, freezing as his eyes widened in horror, before relaxing and putting the top back on the jack-o-lantern and disappearing, not even bothering to keep up appearances as the Corvette moved to the next house. He paused a moment, thinking, before answering.
'Said something about inserting a sheet of metal with nanites that would weaken it until it collapsed. The metal keeps the Draino crystals separate from the water and balled up aluminum foil. Once they mix...' He trailed off with a faint smirk.
Sunny thought about it a moment, imagining it and smirking. He eyed the pumpkins he'd messed with, judging their distance from the houses and the risk factor of humans getting caught. One of our riskier pranks, but I wanna see how this turns out.
'Bang!'
Sunstreaker almost jumped at his twin's unexpected comment, shooting him a brief glare, before getting off the hood of his alternate mode, grabbing more bottles, eyeing the neighborhood warily and heading to the next pumpkin. He was followed closely by his twin.
Neither of them even noticed the optics following their every move carefully.
Once they left, Starscream entered the same neighborhood, using his rarely used human holoform. He examined the pumpkins, scanning them and finding traces of energon and Cybertronian metals. Hmm... What're the Autobot scum up to? Looking closer, he saw the traces of plastic. Some sort of surveilence?
It didn't seem likely they were any sort of weapon, as the Auto-scum were usually very protective of humans and keeping their technology from humans hands. Picking up a pumpkin, he was going to throw it when he recalled their hissing about being careful. He paused, holding the pumpkin closer, scanning it again. No tracking devices.
Looking up and down the neighborhood, he made a snap decision. He quickly worked on gathering all the pumpkins and carting them back to his alternate form, where he was parked in a small forested area. Emptying his holds, he stuffed the pumpkins in his holds, disolved his holoform and took to the air, streaking out of there as fast as he could.
(That night)
Sunstreaker and Sideswip had scanned less fancy vehicles, attempting to blend in as they drove into the neighborhood. Immediately, they paused, gracefully pulling over and staring in shock.
'Where the frag are the pumpkins??' Sunstreaker's shock, confusion and frustration could be heard in his voice, as his optics scanned the houses. There were people milling around, many speaking of the missing pumpkins, and he almost growled.
And Sideswipe wasn't doing much better. 'Are you slagging kidding me? What pit-spawned glitch stole our prank?!'
Not wanting to even consider the possibility, they scanned the houses, looking for any sign of the pumpkins. They didn't want to consider the fact that humans might have taken the time bombs inside, the possible damage being unbelievable, but when they found nothing... They were both disappointed and pleased.
Neither could figure it out, and watched disappointed and angry as kids began almost running up and down the street. The sky was dark, but they saw perfectly as the children ran right past where the pumpkins had been sitting, and both sighed, settling down on their axles as the kids got their treats and ran off again.
'Awww man! What a bust!'
Sunstreaker could only agree silently as they both drove off, changing back into their Corvette forms when they were out of view of the humans, and making their way back to base.
Meanwhile, at the Decepticon base...
Megatron entered his room, only to pause as he took in his second in command kneeling there. However, the usual homage to his entrance was not what stopped him. The several orange, round....earth plants laying on the ground in a bunch was. "Why the slag have you brought these disgusting plants to me??"
Starscream bowed lower, if it was at all possible, and took two steps back in tandem with Megatron's two forward. "Forgive me, master. I found the Autobots messing around with these, inserting some sort of devices within them. I could not figure it out, but they left them near their precious humans so... I thought they would be safe."
"I don't pay you to think."
You don't pay me at all. Starscream thought darkly, keeping his optics locked on the ground. "Forgive me. I th-felt you might wish to know what it was the Autobots were up to."
Pausing mid stride, Megatron took in the... He searched the internet for a reference and raised an optic ridge at the smiling faces staring blankly up at him. "What the frag are 'jack-o-lanterns'??" Tilting his head a little, his optics narrowed almost dangerously. "And what in the name of Unicron would those Autobot nimrods want with them?" He leaned down a little, hesitating and growling a little when he heard a small hissing sound. "Starscream, what is...that sound?"
Frowning, Starscream dared a look up, then cried out and covered his optics.
BANG!
SPLAT!
CRUNCH!!
A series of explosions suddenly sounded in the room, and he cowered as pumpkin guts splattered all over the place. As quick as the explosions sounded, they stopped, leaving the wet squelching of pumpkin guts sliding off stuff, and the crunch of the shells under others.
Opening his optics, he dared a glance and felt his spark very nearly offline at the sight before him.
The once dark room was now decorated with orange and tan pumpkin bits and a large mass of them sat where the jack-o-lanterns once did. That wasn't the thing that made him consider defecting to the Autobots though.
The rather murderous rage in Megatron's optics, and the large snarl that literally shook the cavern that was the throne room was.
"M...Master?" He backed up, trying to think of the fastest and easiest way out of the room. "I didn't... I didn't know..."
"Of course not! Why would the obvious ever cross your pathetic processors?!" Megatron's hand transformed into a weapon, and he took a single step forward. "You... You pit-spawned, glitching waste of energon!" He took another step forward, pausing when a chunk of pumpkin slithered down his face between his optics and fell off his chin.
Blinking, Starscream couldn't fight the snicker that slid through his tightly pressed lip plates, and his optics widened in horror, before he performed the fastest transformation in the history of transforming, and fled the room in a puff of smoke, which only kicked up more pumpkin guts all over his leader.
I'm so slagged! I'm so fragging slagged!
