Some people are team players, and some...well, aren't. '''Prowl''' falls into the latter category. A loner at heart, he has no interest in teamwork, something [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] finds extremely frustrating. Added to that is his personality conflict with the fun-loving [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]. All in all, not the most sociable guy in the world.

Still, he's not without his redeeming features. He has a deep, deep fascination with organic lifeforms. In fact, he seems to have a deeper appreciation of them than those who grew up with them. The phrase "stop and smell the roses" is a life truth for Prowl, and he can spend hours motionless, [[Beachcomber (G1)|watching the world play out around him]].

:''Voice actor: [[Jeff Bennett]] (US), ? (Japan)''
Prowl showed a lack of interest in both teamwork (as a loner type) and in the motivational (kinda long-winded) speeches of Optimus Prime. He did not obey orders at first and learned of the consequences firsthand as he was nearly killed by a nanite-enhanced cockroach. After his revival at the hands of Sari and her Allspark-empowered key, he showed that he had become a valuable team player when he headed out with Bumblebee and Sari to save Professor Sumdac and Captain Fanzone.{{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

{{spoiler|Home Is Where the Spark Is}}
Later, Prowl is watching a cat stalk a bird. He finds it fascinating, but is aggravated when he's interrupted by human fans. Returning to base he hides out in his Japanese themed room, only to be interrupted by Prime and Bumblebee. Even worse, Sari throws a slumber party and Prowl is pushed to the edge by the commotion. Ironically, when Megatron took over the factory, Prowl was able to show Bumblebee the value of stillness in battle, something the pair would work on later in a game of twister.{{storylink|Home Is Where the Spark Is}}

==Abilities and Powers==

Prowl's primary strengths are his agility, stealth, and speed. He uses an array of throwing weapons, such as cutting discs, that he can throw with high accuracy. In his room, a collection of samurai swords can be seen in the background. He is able to use any object as a weapon. He's also the only [[Sideswipe (G1)|Autobot with a jetpack]], granting him limited flight.

*'''Prowl''' (Deluxe, 2008)

: Prowl transforms into a police motorcycle of made-up model. His removable hubcaps turn into three-bladed shuriken. He comes with a traffic light with a chain attached to it, wich functions as a weapon (See Abilities and Powers).

Angry Archer

:''Angry Archer is a [[human]] from the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Angry_Archer.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Steals from the rich and, well, steals from the poor, too, I guess...]]

One of the human supervillains who menaces [[Detroit]] in the near future, '''Angry Archer''' bears a strong resemblance to the traditional portrayal of Robin Hood; this includes a cheesy 16th century British accent. The seemingly cybernetic arm, high-tech arrowheads and glider-pack are new, though. He uses his skills with a bow and arrow in his criminal schemes.

==Fiction==
===Animated cartoon===
:'''Voice actor:''' ''[[Jeff Bennett]] (USA), ? (Japan)''

The Angry Archer appears under the shadow of the night. Dropping down on a passing horseless carriage, he demands they stand and deliver. However, the local authorities arrive. No fear, a passing rescue carriage passes by. Latching on, he aways with glee. But, forsooth, the carriage became a metal giant, who defeated the Archer with reckless abandon. While the Angry Archer pleads that all he desires is fame and fortune, flying camera's arrive, recording his humiliating fate. The metal giant mockingly states that he will have to settle for fame. Oh, what a twisted move by the fickle hand of fate. {{storylink|Home Is Where the Spark Is}}

== Trivia ==
* This character's name and face are a play on Transformers design director [[Aaron Archer]].

* The Angry Archer's arrowhead arsenal includes...
**Grappling lines
**Laser cutters
**Steel fists
**Grenades

Transform and Roll Out

2007-12-28T16:19:28Z

84.24.59.213:

{{episodenav|animated|1, 2, and 3|season=1|prev=|next=Home is Where the Spark is}}

'''Optimus Prime and his small crew of maintenance Autobots come into possession of the All Spark. This powerful Cybertronian artifact attracts the attention of the Autobots' long-forgotten enemies, the Decepticons, and sends them all crashing toward a strange, distant planet known as...''Earth.'''''

==Detailed synopsis==
===Part 1===
In deep deep space, Optimus Prime watches some old history videos, prompting Ratchet to complain about him watching that "junk" when the other members of the crew need assistance. Prime wonders if they were designed for more than repairing [[space bridge]]s. The two 'Bots transform into their vehicle modes and head out into the asteroid field.

Outside, Bulkhead, dangling from a high rock by his wrecking ball (and becoming quite queasy in the process), is freed by Bumblebee, who also ends up taking a tumble. Bumblebee complains about the sheer amount of rocks blocking the space bridge node, and one is shattered unexpectedly by Prowl's throwing star. Prime gives his troops a speech about teamwork (which Prowl moans at theatrically), but at that point the space bridge lights up, sending rocks and Autobots flying. Fancy footwork by Optimus saves each of his teammates from the debris, and a well-aimed grappling line shuts down the bridge. With his subordinates stunned at their leader's skills, Prime is forced to admit he trained at Cybertron's military academy. Bumblebee's query as to what the hell he's doing on a nowhere maintenance assignment is left unanswered as they notice something glowing in the rubble.

Prime clears away the debris to reveal a large, chest-like object. Ratchet is horrified and immediately demands they throw it back into the space bridge, but an alert from [[Teletraan-1]] announces the arrival of a signature consistent with the long-lost [[Decepticon]]s. Ratchet then announces they take the object and just out of there post-haste.

Onboard the ''[[Ark (Animated)|Ark]]'', Ratchet finally reveals what they've found: the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]], the source of all Transformer life that was lost centuries ago. Optimus, worried about the oncoming Decepticon signal, contacts the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]] for help. After taking a bit of snark from Sentinel Prime, Optimus reveals what they found, which shuts Sentinel up fast. He then puts the crew through to Ultra Magnus, who tells Optimus Prime to stay put while they send reinforcements... and not to worry about that Decepticon thing. Optimus, considering this to be a really stupid move, orders the crew to start booking it out of there.

This proves wise, as the signal is indeed a Decepticon ship, a command ship, in fact, carrying the Decepticons' leader Megatron and his most dangerous minions. Onboard, Starscream, Lugnut, Blackarachnia and Blitzwing bicker at each other until Megatron arrives, shutting them all up. The Decepticons chase the Autobot ship, and Starscream volunteers to board them. Megatron quickly shoots that idea down. Just before he leaves, Starscream wishes his commander "luck" with a pat on the back... affixing a bomb to Megatron in the process.

Megatron makes his way to the ''Ark'' and begins to melt his way through its hull. Optimus uses external manipulator arms to grapple with Megatron, until the bomb detonates, sending the ship careening uncontrollably into a space bridge node, which explodes after they go through the gate. Starscream begins to make a speech declaring himself the new Decepticon leader, but the other three have abandoned ship, noting that the fireball from the space bridge explosion is only getting larger. Too late, Starscream realizes the trouble he's in...

An unknown distance away, the Autobot ship re-appears above a [[Earth|small blue-green planet]]. Prime checks on his troops, but Megatron has gotten aboard, having survived the explosion, but at the cost of his right arm. Prime uses his grappling line to shut off the gravity, making it more difficult for Megatron to fight. All five Autobots face off against the Decepticon, but he's too strong. Prime and Megatron both end up in the storage bay where the All Spark is... and as the ship enters the atmosphere, Prime is able to blow the hatch and kick the screaming Megatron out of the ship.

On a small farm, a young boy hears a thud, and runs to find something has landed in their field, and is shocked to find a robotic head staring lifelessly up at him.

Meanwhile, Prime orders his team into emergency stasis pods to prepare for a crash landing. He manages to steer the ship away from the city below, and gets to a stasis pod just before the ship plunges into [[Lake Erie]]...

Transform and Roll Out

{{episodenav|animated|1, 2, and 3|season=1|prev=|next=Home is Where the Spark is}}

'''Optimus Prime and his small crew of maintenance Autobots come into possession of the All Spark. This powerful Cybertronian artifact attracts the attention of the Autobots' long-forgotten enemies, the Decepticons, and sends them all crashing toward a strange, distant planet known as...''Earth.'''''

==Detailed synopsis==
===Part 1===
In deep deep space, Optimus Prime watches some old history videos, prompting Ratchet to complain about him watching that "junk" when the other members of the crew need assistance. Prime wonders if they were designed for more than repairing [[space bridge]]s. The two 'Bots transform into their vehicle modes and head out into the asteroid field.

Outside, Bulkhead, dangling from a high rock by his wrecking ball (and becoming quite queasy in the process), is freed by Bumblebee, who also ends up taking a tumble. Bumblebee complains about the sheer amount of rocks blocking the space bridge node, and one is shattered unexpectedly by Prowl's throwing star. Prime gives his troops a speech about teamwork (which Prowl moans at theatrically), but at that point the space bridge lights up, sending rocks and Autobots flying. Fancy footwork by Optimus saves each of his teammates from the debris, and a well-aimed grappling line shuts down the bridge. With his subordinates stunned at their leader's skills, Prime is forced to admit he trained at Cybertron's military academy. Bumblebee's query as to what the hell he's doing on a nowhere maintenance assignment is left unanswered as they notice something glowing in the rubble.

Prime clears away the debris to reveal a large, chest-like object. Ratchet is horrified and immediately demands they throw it back into the space bridge, but an alert from [[Teletraan-1]] announces the arrival of a signature consistent with the long-lost [[Decepticon]]s. Ratchet then announces they take the object and just out of there post-haste.

Onboard the ''[[Ark (Animated)|Ark]]'', Ratchet finally reveals what they've found: the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]], the source of all Transformer life that was lost centuries ago. Optimus, worried about the oncoming Decepticon signal, contacts the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]] for help. After taking a bit of snark from Sentinel Prime, Optimus reveals what they found, which shuts Sentinel up fast. He then puts the crew through to Ultra Magnus, who tells Optimus Prime to stay put while they send reinforcements... and not to worry about that Decepticon thing. Optimus, considering this to be a really stupid move, orders the crew to start booking it out of there.

This proves wise, as the signal is indeed a Decepticon ship, a command ship, in fact, carrying the Decepticons' leader Megatron and his most dangerous minions. Onboard, Starscream, Lugnut, Blackarachnia and Blitzwing bicker at each other until Megatron arrives, shutting them all up. The Decepticons chase the Autobot ship, and Starscream volunteers to board them. Megatron quickly shoots that idea down. Just before he leaves, Starscream wishes his commander "luck" with a pat on the back... affixing a bomb to Megatron in the process.

Megatron makes his way to the ''Ark'' and begins to melt his way through its hull. Optimus uses external manipulator arms to grapple with Megatron, until the bomb detonates, sending the ship careening uncontrollably into a space bridge node, which explodes after they go through the gate. Starscream begins to make a speech declaring himself the new Decepticon leader, but the other three have abandoned ship, noting that the fireball from the space bridge explosion is only getting larger. Too late, Starscream realizes the trouble he's in...

An unknown distance away, the Autobot ship re-appears above a [[Earth|small blue-green planet]]. Prime checks on his troops, but Megatron has gotten aboard, having survived the explosion, but at the cost of his right arm. Prime uses his grappling line to shut off the gravity, making it more difficult for Megatron to fight. All five Autobots face off against the Decepticon, but he's too strong. Prime and Megatron both end up in the storage bay where the All Spark is... and as the ship enters the atmosphere, Prime is able to blow the hatch and kick the screaming Megatron out of the ship.

On a small farm, a young boy hears a thud, and runs to find something has landed in their field, and is shocked to find a robotic head staring lifelessly up at him.

Meanwhile, Prime orders his team into emergency stasis pods to prepare for a crash landing. He manages to steer the ship away from the city below, and gets to a stasis pod just before the ship plunges into [[Lake Erie]]...

Blitzwing (Animated)

:''Blitzwing is a Decepticon in the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''
'''Blitzwing''' not only has sree modes (robot, jet, und tank) he also has sree alternate personalities (a cold strategist, a short-tempered hothead, und a total nutcase) along vit' sree faces rattling around in hiz head to go vit' zem ([[Alpha Quintesson|Sounds familiar]]). He's as liable to have a conversation vit' himself as he is to say a vord to his fellow Decepticons. Pretty much ze only sing zat keeps him in line is that all sree of his personalities are scared to death of [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]].

{{ongoing}}
[[Image:Animated_blitzwing_faces1.JPG|left|thumb|170px|The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.]]
:''Voice actor: [[Bumper Robinson]] (US), ? (Japan)''

His cold personality is represented by a long bue face with a monocle that sounds like one of those creepy German officers. His easily angered personality has a red face and is gap-toothed, making him look and sound like a certain [[wikipedia:Arnold Schwarzenegger|Austrian musclehead]]. Finally, his crazy personality's face looks like nothing so much as a black jack-o'-lantern and just sounds hysterical. All three personalities have a German accent.

Blitzwing's special power is based on ice-rays and/or flame-rays, depending on which personality is dominant at the time.

Basically, he's the Purple Baron. Or Herr Freezer Burn.
