Editing Prowl (TM2)

{{disambig3|Prowl}}

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

[[Image:IDW Prowl.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Give a hoot! Read a book!]]

'''Prowl''' is not a verbose Maximal, preferring instead to listen. He gathers information, analyzes it, and instantly suggests an appropriate course of action. His logical mind is without match among his Maximal brethren, who rank him among their best military strategists. Prowl feels that he fulfilled that same role in a previous life.


{{note|Prowl's toy bio suggests that he has some connection to [[Prowl (G1)|Generation 1 Prowl]], perhaps being one and the same. However, later fictions cast doubt on this.}}


==Fiction==
===Headmasters cartoon===
[[Image:Prowlwubsmagnus headmasters.jpg|thumb]]
Prowl<ref>The Japanese version of [[Dark Awakening]] explicitly mentions Prowl's death, therefore this speaking character should not be him.  See [http://tfarchive.com/creative/showentry.php?s=522 Ten popular but incorrect rumors about Japanese Transformers] (#3).</ref> takes part in the defending [[Autobot City]] from [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]'s attack.  He and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] are supporting [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] when the the Decepticon offensive breaks.  Prowl notes they were lucky.<!--At least he does in the RTM dub, maybe he says something else in Japan...-->{{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky|HMep1}}

Later Prowl attends a briefing at [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] where Ultra Magnus assigns several units of Autobots to run interference with Decepticons for [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] as he retrieves the [[Matrix of Leadership]].  Prowl accompanies Ultra Magnus's unit.{{storylink|A Dream Is Born, Double Prime|HMep3}}

===IDW ''Beast Wars'' comic 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 fliers 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]].

Prowl air-lifted [[Snarl (BW)|Snarl]] (who cloaked them both) in an effort to put a chronal displacement device on [[Shokaract]].  However, when Snarl jumped off, Prowl was visible once again and was blasted out of the sky.  Fortunately his sacrifice was not in vain. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4}}

==Toys==
===Beast Wars===
*'''Prowl''' (Deluxe Transmetal, 1999)
[[Image:Prowl tm2 fktoy.jpg|thumb|His wings will drive you nuts.]]
: 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. The first one is white, turquoise, and red. The second is black, blue, and red, and was done as a "[[running change]]" variation under the same individual [[DCPI number]] rather than as a completely new release.

===Robots in Disguise===
*'''Prowl 2''' (Spychanger, 2002)
[[Image:Prowl2 rid toy.jpg|100px|thumb]]
: Prowl 2 is a [[Spychanger]] released in a 2-pack with [[Side Swipe (RID)|Side Swipe]].  He features a white-blue-yellow color scheme, a gun which stows between his legs in vehicle mode, and a ''ginormous'' Autobot symbol.

:Prowl 2 subsequently received a solo carded release with commemorative [[Tiny Tins|Tiny Tin]].

:''Neither toy included a tech-spec.

===Binaltech===
* '''Prowl''' (Binaltech, 2005) 
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-15 '''
[[Image:BinaltechProwl.jpg|thumb|100px]]
: For his standard Japanese Binaltech release, Prowl recieved a vehicle mode deco based on a real Japanese police car (the Hasbro [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s deco being based more on the original Generation 1 toy), a different spoiler mold, different rims, right-side steering, a Japanese police cherry blossom emblem instead of an Acura logo, and gray plastic instead of stony-blue. He was also labeled as a "Honda Integra Type-R", the model's make in Japan. 

* Prowl Vivid Blue Pearl Edition (Binaltech, 2005) Japanese ID number: BT-15 
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-15 '''
[[Image:Binaltech Blue Prowl toy.jpg|thumb|100px]]
Like Jazz, Prowl got two different Binaltech decos released in equal numbers. The second version, known as Vivid Blue Pearl Prowl, is a civilian version with no police lights, a mostly blue interior, a Honda logo (instead of the cherry blossom emblem) on the grill, and a solid blue car-shell. His robot-mode parts remained mostly the same color, however. 

This mold (the Japanese blue Prowl variant, combined with parts from American police Prowl) was used to make Alternators Camshaft.
