Centuries ago, before the war, at the beginning of the Inferno, a dingy bar on the outskirts of a long forgotten city, an old forgesmith invited the Darkness for a drink. Stingy Jack as he was known, didn't like to pay for his own drinks, so he some how convinced the Darkness to transform himself into an Energon credit, the Darkness, for whatever reason, obliged.

Stingy Jack, being the stingy mech that he was still skipped out on his bar tab. Fixing the energon credit with a transformation inhibitor, he kept the dark Energon credit at his side.

Jack eventually freed the Darkness, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year and that, should Jack die, he would not claim his spark. The next year, Jack again tricked the Darkness into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of energn. While he was up in the tree, Jack carved engaged a transformation inhibitor field around the tree so that the Darkness could not come down until the Darkness promised Jack not to bother him for ten more years.

Soon after, Jack died. As the legend goes, such an unsavory figure could not be allowed into the AllSpark. The Darkness, upset by the trick Jack had played on him and keeping his word not to claim his spark, would not allow Jack into the Inferno. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning optics to light his way. As the centuries passed, the ghostly figure of Stingy Jack roamed Cybertron, his burning optics acting like a lantern, as his name drifted into mythology, Cybertronians began to refer to him as "Jack of the Lantern", or "Jack-o-Lantern" for short.

But Jack has grown tired of roaming, he has been witness to The Great War, he has witnessed the destruction of Cybertron, enraged, Jack has spread his ghostly influence, possessing Cybertronians with his influence, using them to spread his influence further until Cybertron is his ...

IT'S HALLOWEEN!
The first to fall under Jack's influence is the Autobots! Now available to them for a limited time only is the all new SMASHING PUMPKIN alt!



For the first time ever, BITE comes to the Autobots. Will you fall under the influence of Jack-o-Lantern? And how long until the Decepticons fall under the ghostly mechs influence ...

It has begun

This is awesome! I need to reformat one of my ‘Bots as soon as I can.

And I need to read that book one day, too. It’s already done enough of a fine job collecting dust on the top of my bookcase. lol

It’s about time the pumpkins did the eating instead of being the eaten.

If anyone's interested, I've finished and added Horseman's full bio to his character page...

I actually remember that before I ever read "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", I grew up listening to it on a cassette tape (full-sized, not microcassette like Ravage et. al. and I'll avoid any references to how old that makes me feel...)

Interesting transformation scheme. Sure I've heard of something similar before...

Don't mind if I do..

Pretty much.
(Actually, it was inspired by a 'Big Lots' knock-off of the Red Ranger and the white unicorn that I still have, but it's the same transformation sequence.)

It's actually a nice figure, so I don't blame you for wanting to use it

so...……...where the orange lightsabers at?

Those were lightsabers? I ate them thinking they were some kind of new glowing popsicles...

Glowsticks, actually. We've been using them at the raves in Psychout's HQ.

Looks like Botanica and Rat Trap had a kid. Will the pumpkin have the nasty overbite of his father? Is this Unicron in Disguise?

The giant monster battle no one was expecting.

I'd like to register a minor degree of disappointment with fellow Smashing Pumpkin commanders on both sides...

No one's created The Great Pumpkin yet, Charlie Brown. How is he supposed to rise out of the pumpkin patch at midnight on Halloween and bring everyone presents if he's not on anyone's team?

Changed my latest bots alt mode. Since he's a bit soft in the meleon, he's a blue pumpkin. Lol

Say no more, say no more

Dressed up for Halloween!!


Hope you lot are also having a great time!

Well I just spent five minutes trying to make the Pumpkin NOT available to the Decepticons, and it STILL didn't work.

So that's how much fun I'm having.

That looks awesome! Glad you're having fun! It's been forever since I've dressed up for Halloween lol.
