'''Prowl''' is the Autobot military strategist. As such, Autobot Commander [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)|Optimus Prime]] will keep Prowl near at hand for his indispensable expertise. He does not react well to the unsuspected and despises disorder. He believes his dedication to logic and rational thought puts him next in line for Optimus Prime's job and dreams of making grand speeches -- even though in reality he's stoic and uncharismatic.

He really doesn't tend to get along well with his fellow Autobots, many of whom find his strict adherence to military protocol stifling, and his uptight personality sure doesn't help matters. The [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] commander [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] ''especially'' honks Prowl off, and Grimlock feels pretty much the same way in return, only with more swear words.

Prowl was part of the crew of the ''[[Ark]]'', the Autobot starship that left Cyberton looking for alternate sources of energy only to crashland on Earth. Four million years later, the Transformers were reawakened and reformatted by Teletraan-1. Despite being situated in the United States, Prowl was reformatted as a Japanese police car. No one seemed to notice.

On Earth, Prowl continued to serve as [[Optimus Prime]]'s right hand man, filling the role of military advisor and strategist. His precision thinking and by-the-books planning served as a valuable counterpoint to Jazz's more improvisational style, and it was up to Optimus Prime to weigh their views and come to a decision.

Prowl met his maker in the year 2005, alongside fellow Autobots [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], [[Brawn]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]. During a [[Decepticon]] assault of a shuttle run to earth from Moonbase One for energon. He was felled by a single blast from [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]], proving that a stylish leap when you fire your gun is all that was needed for Decepticon weapons to actually kill someone.

Prowl is the leader of a detachment of Autobots that has operated covertly on Earth for at least four years, attempting to foil a Decepticon insurgency. He almost throws [[Ratchet_(G1)|Ratchet]] in the brig for breaking cover to rescue three humans from the Decepticons, and subsequently refuses to contact Optimus Prime until further evidence of enemy activities is uncovered. He does not willingly believe Ratchet when the medic tells him that the Decepticons have stepped up their presence by constructing a second base.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Prowl''' (1984, 1991, 2002)
Prowl was part of the first series of Autobots released in 1984, reusing a mold originally developed for a Diaclone Datsun Fairlady Z (280 ZX) police car. The Diaclone version had decals that identified him as a Japanese police car, which in turn were translated into "Highway Patrol" for the North American Transformers release. The original instructions booklet, though, features a visible Japanese label sheet complete with the chrysanthemum emblem found on Japanese police cars. Prowl uses the same mold as [[Bluestreak]], though with some specific tooling on his backplate / car roof to depict his police lights.
