Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

[edit]

Ten million years ago, the Cybertronian who would become "Prowl" was one of the many Maximals who followed "Onyx Prime", unaware or uncaring that this member of the Thirteen Primes was in fact a cover identity used by a time-travelling Shockwave. Following the end of the First Cybertronian Civil War, Onyx and his Maximals departed Cybertron for good, and set a course for the dead world of Antilla. In time, Onyx would uncover the artifact he dubbed the "Talisman", part of an ancient doomsday weapon responsible for the planet's devastation.

Twenty thousand years ago, the future "Prowl" was part of an expedition under the command of Domitius Major; as part of his larger goals, "Onyx" decided to have the Talisman relocated to Earth, and assigned the crew of the starship Axalon to do so. Our Finest "Prowl" and his shipmates were evidently not aware of the full scope of Onyx's plans, nor the paradoxical nature of their impending voyage; they reached Ice Age Earth solely by accident, having been drawn off-course to refuel their ship after a ten-thousand year voyage. While preparing to land, however, their ship was intercepted by the younger Shockwave, who had come to investigate his Regenesis project. Shockwave confused the crew aboard with a bounced broadcast of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee before easily shooting them down and causing their ship to crash in prehistoric Brasnya. In the crash, the Talisman aboard the Axalon scrambled the memories of the crew.

Centurion's subsequent amnesia inspired Shockwave to use the crew of the Axalon in a cruel experiment, altering their appearances and memories to convince them that they were the Autobots and Decepticons of Cybertron. Brainwashed into believing he was "Prowl", he took part in the simulated "Ice Age Wars" on Earth as part of Shockwave's wargames. Eventually, the climate worsened and the energon stores ran out, and when Shockwave departed, the ersatz Autobots and Decepticons went into hibernation. Strange Visitors

When they were eventually awoken thanks to humans in the mid-19th century, Prowl and Ratchet decided it was best not to wake up Optimus Prime and get involved with humanity just yet. Hearts of Steel #1 Bumblebee disagreed and met with some humans, and from them he learned that the Decepticons had been awakened as well. Prowl and Ratchet, who seemingly led the Autobots in Prime's absence, then saw the need to ally with the humans and defeat their long-time enemies. Hearts of Steel #2

The Autobots took on new Earth modes, forming a train to pursue the Decepticons' Astrotrain as it headed towards New York City. Hearts of Steel #3 They were briefly held back when the Decepticons collapsed a tunnel entrance on them, forcing Prowl and the others to stop and dig the rest of the train and their human allies out of the rubble. Once the Astrotrain was stopped and the Decepticons were defeated, the Autobots went back underground to continue fighting another day. Hearts of Steel #4

Prowl evidently died some time before World War II; by then Centurion believed himself the last survivor of his crew. Strange Visitors
