We can all recognize Prime, but who is that other guy? Is that supposed to be Blitzwing's "Random" face?

Halloween is an Earth holiday in which humans dress up in strange outfits that make them look like other people or things, then demand sugary offerings from their neighbors. It is usually celebrated on October 31, and is a ritual to celebrate the end of Summer which started in Ireland many centuries ago, though it has evolved significantly since then.

So, the purpose of this "Halloween" is to disguise yourself in order to frighten strangers and extort sugar infused... nuggets.Optimus Prime contemplates the true meaning of Halloween, "Along Came a Spider"

For a brief time, Hasbro's official website checklist featured listings for two "Halloween Horrorcon Value Packs" that were to be Wal-Mart exclusives... which also likely explains why they were canceled. (Wal-Mart had taken a good half-dozen exclusives and released them more-or-less simultaneously, leading to a huge glut. A lot of other Transformers exclusives were canceled during the Universe era.)
Waspinator was a redeco of Beast Wars Transmetal Waspinator with opaque-salmon wings and lavender insect legs. He was to come with Nightprowler, a blue and yellow redeco of the original Cheetor toy.
Your bargaining posture is highly dubious.

Notes

[edit]
  • The comic issue "Ghosts" was advertised as a "Halloween Special Edition." Similarly, "I Have No Mouth And I Must Starscream" was released as a "Halloween Special."
  • While not mentioning the holiday, the Cyberworld episode Carousel Chaos featured a game that had NPC Narrator saying "Trick" and "Treat" as negative or positive effects happened. This episode was also uploaded to Youtube on October 25th, the Saturday before Halloween.
