:&#039;&#039;Prowl is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RIDProwlanime.jpg|right|225px|thumb|A complete and total wankus.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Prowl&#039;&#039;&#039; lives life &amp;quot;by the book,&amp;quot; and wants to make sure everyone else does too.  He&#039;s proud to be a police officer and works to maintain discipline both among humans and his fellow Autobots.  Prowl usually speaks in a clipped firm manner as he informs all around him of what they have recently done wrong.  His strict reliance on the rulebook often hinders him from thinking creatively, and he can also be so impressed by seeing someone else stick firmly to procedure that he won&#039;t analyze whether they&#039;re actually being helpful.      &lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; cartoon===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039; [[Wankus]] (English), [[Takayuki Kondō]] (Japanese)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Explosive Situation Prowl.jpg|left|200px|thumb|&amp;quot;...wait, Wankus?!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted by [[T-AI]] and informed that [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] was attacking [[New York City|New York]], the first thing Prowl did was fetch his younger brother [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], who was chasing red sports cars as usual.  Joining [[X-Brawn]], they used the [[Global Space Bridge]] to reach New York, where they engaged the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]] in combat.  Prowl proved particularly effective against [[Gas Skunk]], but the battle ultimately ended with Megatron abducting [[Koji Onishi|Koji]]&#039;s father, [[Kenneth Onishi|Doctor Onishi]].  {{storylink|Battle Protocol!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Autobot Brothers]] were later assigned to intercept the Predacons, who were prowling [[Metro City]] and stealing batteries from cars.  Prowl again interrupted Side Burn&#039;s red sports car hunt to point out that he was supposed to be patrolling.  The pair soon spotted [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] attacking the very sports car Side Burn had just been chasing and Prowl ended up rescuing [[Kelly|the driver]] after the car was destroyed.  Once X-Brawn retrieved the explosive device which Sky-Byte had been after, Prowl told him to take it to the top of the tallest structure in the city.  {{storylink|An Explosive Situation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assigned to protect the [[Linear RFG]] bullet train, the Autobot Brothers found themselves tangling with the Predacons who were trying to blow up a rail bridge on the train&#039;s path.  Ultimately they were unable to save the bridge, but the train was saved by [[Team Bullet Train]].  {{storylink|Bullet Train to the Rescue}}  Together with [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]], the brothers protected the [[Plutonium Energy Generator]] from the Predacons.  They escorted the generator as it was transported across the city the next day, with Prowl becoming increasingly exasperated by Side Burn&#039;s endless complaining.  They were brought to a halt by a traffic jam engineered by [[Slapper (RID)|Slapper]].  Fortunately the [[Spy Changer|Spy Changers]] were able to lend a hand and the Autobot Brothers got to sit back and watch the Predacons&#039; defeat.  {{storylink|Spychangers to the Rescue}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hunt for Black Pyramid Prowl vehicle.jpg|right|200px|thumb|I can&#039;t tell if I&#039;m going fast or just in front of anime streaks!]]&lt;br /&gt;
On another mission, Optimus joined the Autobot Brothers at the end of the Global Space Bridge, which was terminated some distance short of a ship under attack by Predacons.  Prowl used his jet boosters in vehicle mode in order to try to jump out to the stricken vessel, but fell somewhat short and spent most of the battle reaching the target location.  Once there he gave the repaired ship the final nudge to return it to an even keel.  {{storylink|The Hunt for Black Pyramid}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron and the Predacon trio attacked Metro City, T-AI discovered that X-Brawn and Prowl were both busy out hunting for Side Burn, who was exploring some ruins with Koji.  The pair eventually reached the ruins and were in time to stop Sky-Byte making off with a box, which turned out to contain Doctor Onishi&#039;s microchip.  This held much valuable information and would help the Autobots greatly in the struggle to follow.  {{storylink|The Secret of the Ruins}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sideburn&#039;s Obsession Prowl disguise.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Robots in disguise!]]&lt;br /&gt;
After having to stop Side Burn from chasing red sports cars (...again), Prowl became concerned when his brother disappeared.  As it turned out, Side Burn had been captured by the Predacons.  Optimus, despite the remaining two brothers&#039; protests that it was an obvious trap, went in and was captured as well.  X-Brawn and Prowl heavily disguised their vehicle modes in order to creep close enough to get the drop on the Predacons, allowing them to rescue their comrades.  At the beginning of the resulting battle, Prowl used his &amp;quot;Jet Boosters&amp;quot; attack... and threw his only weapon at Megatron.  That was pretty much all he did for the whole fight.  {{storylink|Sideburn&#039;s Obsession}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The brothers were assigned to protect &amp;quot;[[Grandpa]]&amp;quot;, an aging steam train.  In the end Team Bullet Train did most of the work protecting Grandpa, but Prowl and X-Brawn were busy stopping Side Burn from chasing red sports cars anyhow.  {{storylink|Secret Weapon: D-5}}  Prowl unsuccessfully attempted to catch [[Skid-Z (RID)|Skid-Z]], a recently arrived Autobot, during the [[Europa 400]].  Skid-Z had scanned a racing car and become possessed by the urge to compete in races.  All three brothers volunteered to enter the [[International Grand Prix]], which it was believed Skid-Z would compete in—Prowl enjoyed the scenery, but not the difficult driving conditions.  He, Optimus and the other two brothers found themselves holding up a huge rock dropped onto them by Megatron.  Fortunately Skid-Z himself turned up and destroyed the rock, allowing them to chase Megatron off.  {{storylink|Skid Z&#039;s Choice}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Tow-Line Goes Haywire Prowl towline.jpg|right|200px|thumb|And thus the student became the master.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Another new arrival, [[Tow-Line (RID)|Tow-Line]] was also in the law enforcement business, so Prowl took him under his wing.  Unfortunately Tow-Line was over-zealous with his towing and caused Prowl no end of headaches with his antics.  Finally Prowl spotted Tow-Line towing [[Rapid Run (RID)|Rapid Run]] and realised something was seriously wrong.  He lured Tow-Line by parking in the middle of an intersection, and he and Optimus found that the Autobot had been tampered with by the Predacons.  After some repairs, Tow-Line led them to the three hijacked Autobots and they chased off the Predacons. Later on, as Prowl enjoyed being washed by Koji, he was suddenly towed away by Tow-Line for illegal parking...  {{storylink|Tow-Line Goes Haywire}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Predacons became convinced that the &amp;quot;[[Cave of the Dragon]]&amp;quot; harboured a powerful Transformer, X-Brawn and Prowl guarded it.  All three brothers employed their acting skills to try to make the Predacons think that the disguises Optimus and Team Bullet Train were wearing were a giant transforming robot, and got fired on by [[Railspike (RID)|Railspike]] for their trouble.  {{storylink|The Ultimate Robot Warrior}}  Called in to the Autobot Base, Prowl and the rest of the Autobots watched footage of their old adventures and speculated on where the Predacon base might be located.  {{storylink|Hope for the Future}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Commandos Prowl.jpg|left|200px|thumb|&amp;quot;You&#039;re jaywalking, citizen.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus and the Autobot brothers went to [[Castle Peak]] to investigate what turned out to be a crashed Autobot spacecraft.  Unfortunately they were unable to prevent Megatron stealing the six protoforms inside and taking them to a [[McKinley Army Base|nearby military base]] where the protoforms were reformatted into [[Decepticon]] warriors.  {{storylink|The Decepticons}}  Sent to [[Sherman Dam]] to investigate X-Brawn&#039;s disappearance, Prowl and Side Burn encountered the Decepticons and were both tossed into the lake behind the dam, at the bottom of which they were reunited with X-Brawn.  The trio were freed when the Decepticons blew a hole in the dam and, in the ensuing fight, they aided [[Rail Racer (RID)|Rail Racer]] in fighting off [[Ruination (RID)|Ruination]].  {{storylink|Commandos}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Decepticon [[Movor]] was shot into space, he tracked Prowl in an attempt to locate the hidden Autobot base.  Unfortunately Prowl was busy chasing a criminal along with a bunch of identical police cars, and Movor lost track of which one was the Autobot.  After returning to base, Prowl was briefed on what was happening, and the Autobots used Side Burn, who Movor was presently tracking, to lead the Decepticons into a trap.  {{storylink|Attack from Outer Space}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:The Test Side Burn Prowl.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Yep, forgot to shave this morning...]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mega-Octane]] met with Optimus claiming that the Decepticons had rediscovered their Autobot sides.  Although the Autobot brothers were sceptical, they babysat the Decepticons who were forced to do all manner of menial tasks.  The brother finally admitted that perhaps the six Decepticons were honest after all.  Of course, it wasn&#039;t long before the plot was revealed and the brothers were alerted to a brawl between Optimus, [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] and Ruination.  {{storylink|The Test (episode)|The Test}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The three brothers were called to a power plant where they chased off Sky-Byte and the Predacons.  Later X-Brawn was told by Sky-Byte that the Decepticons were going to raid the [[Bayshore power plant]].  The brothers rushed there, only to be told by T-AI that the Decepticons had actually attacked the [[Crestline power plant]] instead. They proceeded to the correct plant to find the Decepticons had already been seen off by Rail Racer.  {{storylink|The Fish Test}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sent to a diamond mine, the three brothers were brought up short by an incomplete space bridge, and were introduced to the [[Build Team]].  Keen to prove themselves in battle, the Build Team took over the mission at the mine.  {{storylink|Wedge&#039;s Short Fuse}}  Using the Global Space Bridge some time later, Prowl found himself landing up in wet concrete and had to ask for assistance getting out.  He was able to rendezvous with the other Autobots in the [[Arctic]], where they watched [[Landfill (RID)|Landfill]] fight off Megatron.  {{storylink|Landfill (episode)|Landfill}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being duped out of stolen oil by the Build Team, the Decepticons began attacking construction equipment. The Autobots attempted to stop them without involving the Build Team, but had little success.  A final attempt to confront the Decepticons had the three Autobot Brothers turn up in the middle of nowhere—the Build Team had sabotaged the space bridge so they could confront the Decepticons themselves.  {{storylink|A Test of Metal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Ultra Magnus Prowl.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Dead or alive, you&#039;re coming with me.]]&lt;br /&gt;
While attempting to stop the Decepticons raiding an oil refinery, the three brothers were interrupted by a [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|mysterious Autobot car carrier]], who insulted them as the Decepticons escaped.  Later they encountered the Autobot again and this time he scrambled their circuits and deposited them in a junk yard.  Once they&#039;d recovered, Optimus called them back to base for a systems check.  {{storylink|Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus}} Optimus confronted the Autobot named Ultra Magnus himself and was soon overpowered.  The Autobot Brothers rescued him from the battlefield and took him to an island to recuperate.  A short time later, Optimus was attacked by the Decepticons, and the brothers found the portal at the end of the space bridge had been blocked by Sky-Byte.  They eventually broke through only to witness Optimus and Ultra Magnus combining into [[Omega Prime]] for the first time.  {{storylink|Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Two Faces Prowl powerup.jpg|right|200px|thumb|BURNING JUSTICE!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Tracking Ultra Magnus, the Autobot Brothers spied him talking with Sky-Byte and assumed he was betraying them.  The trio soon found themselves captured by the Predacons and were promptly freed by Magnus, who informed them he was pretending to defect in order to gain information.  Returning to help Optimus against the Predacons, the three brothers found themselves being beaten on by Megatron.  All three of them received a sudden power boost which was somehow channelled through Magnus, powering them up and enabling them to fight off the Predacons, with a little help from Omega Prime.  {{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}}  Prowl and Side Burn went out looking for Ultra Magnus and soon found him.  Tailing the Autobot, they saw him talking with Scourge and confronted him, only for him to flee and leave them to fight Scourge and Ruination.  Although the two brothers powered up for battle, they began to experience an odd energy drain and had to be rescued by Optimus and X-Brawn.   {{storylink|Power to Burn!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Koji Gets His Wish Prowl koji.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Hey look, a Pokemon!!]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobot Brothers were sent to guard the subway below Metro City as the Build Team was searching for some mysterious ruins.  The trio were confronted by the Decepticons, come to find the same ruins, and left them to the tender mercies of Team Bullet Train.  Wandering further, they encountered Ultra Magnus and Side Burn was distracted by a hallucination of red sports cars, leading the group to the ruins themselves.  {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} To their surprise the ruins turned out to be [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]], whom the Autobots set about concealing in Metro City.  While patrolling to ensure the operation wasn&#039;t uncovered, the Autobot Brothers stumbled on Sky-Byte talking to Koji and confronted the shark.  Koji discovered that the pod Sky-Byte had been carrying contained his abducted father and interrupted the fight to tell the Autobots that Sky-Byte had rescued his dad.  The three brothers apologised to Sky-Byte, who realised his huge blunder and fled in panic.  {{storylink|Koji Gets His Wish}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Doctor Onishi and T-AI quickly worked out a way to locate the remaining [[O-Part|O-Parts]] needed and the Autobot Brothers and the Build Team had a competition to find the most of the artefacts.  {{storylink|A Friendly Contest}} Back in the Autobot base, T-AI merged with the O-Parts.  She soon sent Optimus and the Autobot brothers, with Koji tagging along, to a remote part of the [[Sahara desert]] in search of the [[Orb of Sigma]].  The foursome located the Orb under the desert and fought Megatron and the Decepticons for possession of it, eventually returning it to base with their prize.  {{storylink|Peril from the Past}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With information extracted from the Orb, the brothers and Build Team visited a temple from which they extracted [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]], the control robot for Fortress Maximus.  They were confronted on exiting the temple by the Decepticons and Predacons who stole Cerebros.  The Autobots were forced to go on the defensive against the Decepticons and guard Maximus&#039; hiding place.  Scourge managed to activate Maximus anyway, and the giant was only stopped by the intervention of Koji Onishi.  {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mistaken Identity Scourge Prowl.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Never ending fight, between black and white...]]&lt;br /&gt;
Scourge attempted to control Maximus in the desert by magnifying the human portion of his bio-signature.  Again Optimus and the Autobot Brothers rushed there.  While Side Burn looked after Koji and his dad, X-Brawn and Prowl charged Ruination, who swiftly defeated them.  Maximus was subsequently halted by the arrival of the Build Team and Team Bullet Train with a thousand children.  {{storylink|The Human Element}}  Having thwarted one attempt by Scourge and Mega-Octane to kidnap Koji, the brothers were assigned to guard him.  Koji wasn&#039;t keen on being guarded and swapped clothing with his friend [[Karl]], leading to Karl being kidnapped by the Decepticons in another attempt to control Maximus.  Optimus and the Autobot Brothers were able to rescue Karl and retrieve Cerebros into the bargain.  {{storylink|Mistaken Identity}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Galvatron&#039;s Revenge Prowl.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Prowl fights the urge to start chasing his brother.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When the Decepticons located and attacked Autobot headquarters, the Autobots led them into a trap and engaged them in a fierce battle.  The arrival of Galvatron&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Megastar]]&#039;&#039; turned the tide in the Decepticons&#039; favour, until the Autobots were able to activate Fortress Maximus and destroy the battle station.  {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}} Galvatron, however, was not through and began to drain energy from Fortress Maximus.  The brothers attempted to shoot him down without success.  After Galvatron managed to use [[cyber-bat]]s to control Earth&#039;s children, Omega Prime called a retreat, but the Autobots were followed into the Global Space Bridge by the Decepticons.  Galvatron saw this as an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, and flooded the tunnel with molten lava.  The Autobots, with the help of some urging from Koji, were able to escape the lava and confront Galvatron once more.  {{storylink|Galvatron&#039;s Revenge}} The Autobots soon found themselves on the losing end of the battle, and shielded Optimus long enough for their leader to find Ultra Magnus and form Omega Prime.  During the final confrontation between Galvatron and Prime, the rest of the Autobots were all held paralysed but provided Prime with moral support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Galvatron&#039;s defeat, Prowl resumed his duties stopping Side Burn from chasing red sports cars. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DWSummerspecial RID Autobrothers Megs.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Worst panel ever? Probably.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] and [[Sky-Byte]] led an attack on [[Arizona]] to drain the energy out of a vague and nondescript building in the middle of the desert, [[T-AI]] tried to call upon the Autobot brothers to help, but Prowl, [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] and [[X-Brawn]] were busy tangling with [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] in [[Oregon]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron eventually fled the battle, and Prowl arrived to help Optimus, only to find the conflict resolved.  {{storylink|Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Optimusprimaluniverseend.jpg|right|thumb|300px|This is not a dignified withdrawal procedure!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, both [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] and Prowl ended up fighting in the [[Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]] conflict, where [[Omega Prime]] had already joined [[Optimus Primal]]&#039;s [[Children of Primus]] against the [[Minions of Unicron]].  In the final battle against [[Unicron]], the Chaos Bringer began to dissolve below them just as the Children of Primus&#039; victory was achieved.  To save themselves, Primal led his troops (presumably) back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] through a transwarp portal.  Side Burn and Prowl were personally thrown by Omega Prime through the portal.  However, some Children of Primus, like Omega Prime, did not return to their intended destination, but an alternate timestream.  {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Prowl&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2000/2001)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;C-003&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Left &amp;amp; right thrusters, 2 &amp;quot;flame&amp;quot; missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; Prowl transforms into a Lamborghini Diablo police highway pursuit vehicle. As with the original [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], he is painted in Japanese police ministry colors. He also has rubber tires over silver vacuum-metalized wheels; RID being one of the last Transformers lines with both of these things. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In robot mode, Prowl is armed with two pressure-launch missile launchers with two flame-shaped projectiles. These launchers are mounted upon his right arm in robot mode, but can also be mounted on his sirens, to form a sort of jetpack. In vehicle mode, they can be mounted on two pegs located on his spoiler.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Early versions of Mach Alert (the [[Takara]] release) used an almost completely transparent colorless plastic for its windows and flame missiles, with semi-transparent paint on the flames. Later releases used a darker clear-plastic with brighter, more opaque flame-paint. This version was used by [[Hasbro]] for their release, but made the additional change of adding an Autobot [[faction symbol]] to his hood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Prowl got a US-police-inspired [[redeco]] as a &amp;quot;[[super mode]]&amp;quot;. Now with extensive blue [[Spontaneous recoloration|paint]] across his body and blue-and-red lights on his lightbar (and in his shoulders), Prowl also features English &amp;quot;POLICE&amp;quot; text instead of Japanese, with &amp;quot;MACH ALERT&amp;quot; underneath. The toy retains all of its gimmicks from the first version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Hasbro and Takara versions are nigh-identical, except that the Hasbro version yet again adds an Autobot symbol to the hood. While this version of the toy was simply called &amp;quot;Prowl&amp;quot; again with no modifier to denote his new &amp;quot;super mode&amp;quot; coloration, in Japan he was called &amp;quot;Super Mach Alert&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

: Prowl and his brothers [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] and [[X-Brawn]] were cast in mostly colorless-clear plastics (some of the [[unpaintable plastic]] &amp;quot;structural&amp;quot; bits remained opaque), given much of their normal super-mode deco (Prowl lost his car-mode blue), and sold in an [[exclusive]] three-pack. The set was first available at the Toys Land Osaka toy show on September 24th, then again at Super Festival on October 9th, both times for 6000 yen. The set was limited to 1500 pieces total between the two shows.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Side Swipe &amp;amp; Prowl 2&#039;&#039;&#039; (Basic 2-pack, 2001)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Rifle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Originally an unreleased &#039;&#039;[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; [[Go-Bots (G2)|Go-Bots]] mold, Prowl transforms into a police car based on the 1995 Chevrolet Caprice Interceptor (although some details are closer in similarity to the same year&#039;s Chevrolet Impala). He has through-axle construction to allow for super-fast rolling in car mode, and is compatible with many &amp;quot;Hot Wheels&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Matchbox&amp;quot; racetracks.  Like his fellow &amp;quot;new&amp;quot;-mold teammates, his rifle stores under his car mode.  He was available in a two-pack with [[Side Swipe (RID)|Side Swipe]]. This set was unique to the Hasbro line, and was never available in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make the &#039;&#039;[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; version of [[Prowl (G1)|Generation 1 Prowl]] &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039;-original [[Prowl (Spychanger)|Prowl]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Rifle, carrying tin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Prowl 2 was one of several &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; toys to be sold as an individual in a [[Tiny Tins]] release, with a pocket-sized carrying case.  The actual toy is unchanged from the two-pack version.&lt;br /&gt;

===Universe (2003)===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Prowl&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2004)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Left &amp;amp; right thrusters, 2 &amp;quot;flame&amp;quot; missiles, CD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Prowl toy was [[Repaint|repainted]] as one of a half-dozen Wal-Mart &#039;&#039;[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; exclusives put out in 2004. The robot mode is almost completely identical to the original deco. The vehicle mode uses the same base colors and black &amp;quot;Japanese police&amp;quot; lower deco, but all the police markings have been removed. Instead, his doors are adorned with stylized dragon [[Tampograph|tampographs]], his hood has a &#039;&#039;massive&#039;&#039; Autobot symbol, a large &amp;quot;1 0 5&amp;quot; crosses the top of his windshield, and random red boxes dot his spoiler and lower portion of the doors. Wow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also came with an &#039;&#039;[[Universe CD-ROM|interactive CD-ROM!!!]]&#039;&#039; with all sorts of content.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* Based on Prowl&#039;s law enforcement activities in car form, he appears to have official standing in the Metro City police (or at least his car mode does). This is especially notable in &amp;quot;[[Attack from Outer Space]]&amp;quot;, where he joins a police chase, announces his callsign as &amp;quot;unit 3&amp;quot;, and calls in a request for further back up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Prowl&#039;s strict, by-the-rulebook persona is in amusing contrast with his English voice actor [[Wankus]]&#039;s um... profession. Ahem. Well, he doesn&#039;t do anything &#039;&#039;illegal&#039;&#039;, but some folks probably want it to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;[[Prowl 2]]&amp;quot; toy is wrapped up in some headache-inducing character ambiguity that has some excessively convoluted thing to do with an offhanded shout-out in the &#039;&#039;[[Alternators|Binaltech]]&#039;&#039; story, &#039;&#039;Car Robots&#039;&#039; being [[Retcon|retroactively]] brought into the Japanese Generation 1 uber-timeline, and probably the &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Sourcebook]]&#039;&#039; too, and the non-&#039;&#039;Car-Robots&#039;&#039; Spy Changers&#039; lack of Hasbro bios.&lt;br /&gt;
