:''Prowl is a [[Maximal]] in the [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Prowl''' is not a verbose Maximal, preferring instead to listen. He gathers information, analyzes it, and instantly suggets an appropriate couse of action. His logical mind is without match among his Maximal brethren, who rank him among their best military strategists.

==Fiction==
===Toy Bio===
Prowl has a dry, ironic sense of humor. A great military strategist in this life, Prowl thinks he fullfilled that same role in a previous life.

''('''Note''': Prowl's toy bio suggest that he has some connection to [[Prowl (G1)|Generation 1 Prowl]], perhaps even being one and the same.)''

===Beast Wars: The Gathering comics continuity===
Prowl was one of the [[protoforms]] left behind by the crew of the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' on prehistoric [[Earth]]. He was activated and put in chronal phase by [[Razorbeast]] at [[Magmatron]]'s request, but was protected from Magmatron's [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] shell-program by Razorbeast's viral code.

Accompanied by [[Night Glider]], [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]], and [[Air Hammer]], Prowl sped to meet up with Razorbeast. These flyers and a phalanx of other Maximals finally reached Razorbeast's team just in time to fight off an army of Predacons. In the battle that ensued, Prowl battled [[Sky Shadow (BW)|Sky Shadow]].

==Toys==
===Beast Wars===
*'''Prowl''' (Deluxe Transmetal, 1999)

: Prowl is a [[Transmetal|Transmetal 2]] bio-mechanical owl with a flip-around-reveal [[spark crystal]] in his owl-skull. In beast mode, he has a spring-gear-activated spinning-wing attack gimmick. Oddly, the ADVERTISED robot mode for this figure has limited range of motion, since its wings would prevent its arms from moving forward. However, box art suggests folding the wings over the shoulders, rather than sticking out sideways from the chest.

: His toy was released in two color schemes, one white, turquoise, and red, the other [[Black repaint|black, blue, and red.]]

*''Chronology:'' [[Dreamwave timeline#Early War|Early War]]

==Synopsis==
With plasma pumped from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s core shot upwards through the city, [[Iacon]] disintegrates in flame and molten metal. Both Shockwave and Prowl order their respective armies to evacuate from the carnage.

Optimus, armed with a weapon and advice from Grimlock, hunts Megatron. An attempt at an ambush fails, and Prime has the upper-hand against his rival, powered by a new resolve.

Ironhide, Wheeljack, and Kup fight against the [[Decepticon]]s, trying to stop Starscream's destruction of the surface. Starscream ignores the combat, too preoccupied savoring the demolition of his rivals. Motormaster tries to get the drop on the [[Autobot]]s, but Grimlock interrupts. Prime follows after Grimlock.

With the machines overloading and Autobots attacking, Prime orders his soldiers to get clear. He sends a radio message to Wheeljack with the command for Wheeljack to use his make-planetary-turbines-stop-working missile on the planetary turbines. Wheeljack fires the missile and ruins the Decepticons' plans.

The underground Autobots take Megatron's drill-elevator to the surface to reunite with their surviving comrades. With the city gone, the Autobots agree to Prime's plan to leave the planet, but Prime announces that his experiences within Cybertron have convinced him that the planet has a greater purpose that can't be abandoned.

Within the tunnels, Soundwave finds Megatron, who has a few gaps in his memory.

[[Image:Goldendisk council.jpg|thumb|right|150px|you might THINK the wisdom of all the previous Primes would be handy, but look where it got them.]]

In private, Optimus relates to Grimlock about their battles with their respective dark sides. Prime shows Grimlock a [[Golden Disk (council)|golden disc]] he received from [[Gravitas]], but Prime decides that it's best to toss the disc away, declaring that he would rather chose his own path.

[['Til all are one]].

==Quotes==

"Autobots-- '''Gone!''' Shockwave-- '''Gone!''' Iacon-- 
'''Gone!'''" 
"Starscream, please-- 
Listen to me! The mechaforming platform isn't compatible with the energy from the planetary turbines. 
The system's overloading!"
:'''-Happy Starscream''' and '''scared Scrapper''' 
 
"You don't understand Megatron-- 
--I'm playing by '''your''' rules now! 
No limits, no consequences, no quarter asked or given. 
I welcome it, this '''dark''' part, the twisted ugly thing '''within.''' Whatever it takes... 
'''...to get the job done'''" 
:'''-Optimus Prime''' 
 
"Sixteen cycles of hard graft in advanced '''nano-mechanics.''' A sustained cluster of symposiums with the finest '''techno-theoretical''' minds on Cybertron... 
...and it all comes down to '''this!'''" 
:'''-Wheeljack''' 
 
"You live, that is all that matters, we survive... 
...to fight '''another'' day." 
:'''-Soundwave''' 
 
"You see this? It was given to me by Gravitas, just after I became Prime. It contains the combined wisdom of those who came before me. But your know what? I choose my own path!" 
:'''-Optimus Prime''', telling Grimlock that he wants to be different 

==Items of note==
* Scavenger has tread-arms. At the same time as this comic was being published, another [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] was sporting a similar look as he stomped faces in the ''[[Armada]]'' universes.
* The unreleased [[Dropshot (Armada)|Diaclone triple-changer]] is visible in the explosions of Iacon.
* Optimus Prime's lobotomy of Megatron apparently made Megatron forget why he started the war in the first place (leaving only Starscream knowing close to the whole truth?) This lobotomy would last until [[Wreck-Gar]] repairs Megatron in [[Generation 1 (issue 0)|''Generation 1'' #0]].
