| What the fuck, Derik? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 21:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
| | ==Jesus, ''another'' Prowl?== |
| | Reading through [[Talk:Prowl II|this]], it's plain that most everyone but Derik is uncomfortable with Prowl 2 being declared one and the same with [[Prowl II]]. However, nobody was saying that Prowl 2 was definitively [[Prowl (RID)|RID Prowl]] either. Given that the controversy exists at all - and that we have separate [[Mirage (RID)|Spy Changer Mirage]] and [[Mirage GT]] articles - I think it's dishonest of us to lump Prowl 2 in with RID Prowl as though there was any more proof for that assumption. So that's why I wrote this new article. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 03:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |
| | :''"However, nobody was saying that Prowl 2 was definitively RID Prowl either."'' Walky was. I'd give a six triliters of energon to see the look on his face when he gets back from BotCon and sees that [[Prowl 2]] is back . . . [[User:JW|JW]] 03:11, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |
| | ::Lord High Dammit the third, I knew there was going to be an insurmountable pile of terrible crap I'd have to go through after I got back, but didn't expect it from JACKPOT. God dammit. That's it, I quit the wiki. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 03:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |
| | :::Sorry dude, but seriously. Delaring Derik wrong doesn't mean taking the polar opposite side. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 03:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |
| | ::::''I'm'' taking the polar opposite side? You removed all mention of Prowl 2 from RiD Prowl's page. That IS the polar opposite side. That is the removing of true information to support a viewpoint. Toys can belong to two different characters. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 03:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |
| | :::::Ah, I didn't realize that in the case of ambiguity, we could spread a single toy out among various potential characters. In that case, feel free to put it back in, however it's best to state it there. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 03:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |
| | :There IS circumstantial proof for that assumption, which is that Side Burn and X-Brawn's "Super" redecoes were internally referred to as "Side Burn 2" and "X-Brawn 2" (I don't seem to have any evidence that this was actually the case for Prowl, though I can't imagine it wouldn't be) and that the Spy Changer's deco is a blue/white/blue layout more or less matching the Deluxe redeco's. To me personally it seems ludicrous to think that anyone could have intended this to be anything BUT the same character - in fact, I'd sooner see Mirage GT folded into Mirage's page than have its existence use to support keeping this separated from Prowl's actual page. |

But given where the term "Prowl 2" has gone since then, I think we need to acknowledge the ambiguity for what it is, just as we acknowledge lots of other ambiguous characters (such as countless Universe redecoes). - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 03:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |

| | So is Prowl 2 a separate character, a character who named himself after [[Prowl (G1)]] (similar to the G1 and BW versions of Megatron), a version of [[Prowl (RID)]], or a version of [[Prowl II]]? If he is the ''Car Robots'' version of [[Prowl (RID)]], shouldn't he be merged with that article (just like Wrecker Hook and Tow-Line, Fire Convoy and Optimus Prime, Gigatron and Megatron, etc.)?

But was the character actually referred to as "Prowl 2" anywhere? Derik mentions above that we've "gotten a toy called Prowl 2"... but I think he may just be referring to the RiD toy, which he seems to think is the same character for some reason. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 00:19, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

| | |
| I think Prowl 2 is the same character because he ''is'' the same character. From the BWTF.com translation;
| |
| :''At first, the Honda-designed BT-15 model was developed for this project to become the parallel form "Prowl 2," but because Prowl's original body was destroyed before the GT network was activated, it was decided that BT-15 would function as his primary unit.''
| |
| Remember, in ''japan'' Rid/CR takes place ''during'' G1. It's cracked- but RiD Prowl 2 is considered a G1 character in Japan. They're the same guy. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 02:32, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :Here's what's confusing me: It says that the BT Prowl body was originally designed to be a GT-unit called "Prowl 2," but that that plan was scrapped and it became Prowl/Chip's body instead. Where does it say that the Prowl/Chip character was actually called "Prowl 2"? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 02:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

| ::Do you have any evidence that RiD Prowl 2 is the same guy as Prowl II? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 02:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :::RiD Prowl is a G1 character in Japan. Hirofumi Ichikawa wallowed int he RiD/G1 connection for Binaltech. (The GT system was a reference to RiD's Mirage GT.) So ''no'', I have no evidence that G1 Prowl 2 is the same character as the ''other'' G1 Prowl 2, other than Ichikawa ''going out of his way'' to note he was going to be called Prowl 2 soas to emphasize that connection in case you were thick enough to miss it.

| Derik - can you address my question? The paragraph you quote says that the Binaltech Prowl body was originally designed to a "parallel form" called "Prowl 2", but after Prowl's original body was destroyed "it was decided that BT-15 would function as his primary unit." So if this body is now the "primary unit" for Prowl (with added Chip) is the ''character'' called Prowl 2 or was that designation discarded along with the original "parallel form" plan? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 03:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :Not sure! Perhaps it represents a branch point witht he Binaltech timeloop. But Project Bodyshop survives the timeloop, so...
| |
| : Look, he's a duplicate Prowl in G1. TM2 Prowl is a duplicate prowl in G1. Prowl 2 is a duplicate prowl in Rid... and Rid ''is G1'' in Japan. Binaltech Prowl is ''supposed to be'' RiD Prowl. The booklet included the reference for that very reason.
| |
| : So no Ethan, I can't produce a more explicit statement that BT Prowl is RiD Prowl2 than the ''already existing'' Hirofumi Ichikawa doing handstands in front of his lawn which he has lit on fire to spell out 'This is Prowl 2' for passing aircraft to read. I'm sorry- that's the best you're going to get. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 04:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
| |
| ::Derik, there is not the slightest reason to believe that Prowl 2 is a duplicate Prowl in RID. That's the part you refuse to explain, hence that's the part people have trouble with.
| |
| ::I'm pretty sure the Super Mode deluxes were originally solicited as "Prowl 2", "Sideburn 2", and so forth, and Prowl 2 seems to be based on Super Prowl, so presumably he made it to production before the change was made. That's still speculation, but it's much less baseless speculation than what you're presenting as fact. And I'm not presenting mine as fact. [[User:Chip|Chip]] 04:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

| == Quote Problem ==

| I think there's a problem with the quote we're using ("BT-15 acts with all of Prowl's usual personality and will", etc.) If I'm reading [http://bwtf.com/binaltech/prowl/booklet.shtml the article] correctly, that quote is from the text that Mr. Ichikawa originally sent in, but is not in the actual published booklet. Ergo, it represents authorial intent, but isn't canon. But, I might be wrong {{m-}} the article at BWTF has the translation and the original stuff all mixed together, and is quite confusing.

| |
| | |
| == Trying to sum up...Prowl vs. Prowl 2 ==
| |
| | |
| I think I understand where Derik is coming from, which is:
| |
| | |
| Binaltech Prowl's info contains a '''reference''' connecting the character to RiD's "Prowl 2". Binaltech is '''FULL''' of many intentional references to obscure Transformers (and even G.I.Joe) geekery, so the fact that it specifically references RiD's "Mirage GT" and "Prowl 2" is neither surprising nor odd. (And as Derik points out, RiD IS part of G1 in Japan, so they're not just cute cross-continuity nods but actual viable in-continuity references/explanations.)
| |
| | |
| The main arguments here all come down to whether that reference means he's meant to be the same character as Prowl 2 or if it is just a "nod" to him. Here it is again:
| |
| | |
| ''At first, the Honda-designed BT-15 model was developed for this project to become the parallel form "Prowl 2," but because Prowl's original body was destroyed before the GT network was activated, it was decided that BT-15 would function as his primary unit.''
| |
| | |
| The mold ''was going to be'' "Prowl 2" that much is clear.
| |
| | |
| Walky and co.'s point seems to be that while it "was going to be" P2, the death of Prowl (in TF:TM right?) scraped that and it became the primary just plain "Prowl" unit instead. Great. That makes sense. So in some alternate continuity where G1 Prowl didn't die in the movie then this '''*IS*''' Prowl 2, but in regular continuity it's not. Atleast not yet...
| |
| | |
| Derik (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) assumes that at some point when the real Prowl come back this Prowl became designated "Prowl 2" again as was originally planned. Possible, but speculation. Another possibility is that Chip-Prowl stayed "Prowl" and a NEW GT body was built for them and THAT body was Prowl 2 from RiD. Hey, it's possible.
| |
| | |
| Yeah, my connclusions from all this:
| |
| | |
| 1)Wow, this is a royal continuity KNOT!
| |
| | |
| 2)There's not "quite" enough evidence to say RiD Prowl and owl Prowl are the same guy. Close, but not quite.
| |
| | |
| 3) There is a strong enough leaning that there MIGHT be a connection that I'd at least mention the possibility and explain it in the wiki. Explaining concisely and understandably is the trick. ;-) --[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 12:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::Well, it wasn't in TF:TM that Prowl died in the Binaltech continuity - his spark actually ''got lost'' in subspace when they were attempting to transfer it into his new Binaltech body. That's what prompted Chip to step up and become the new Prowl. | |
| ::I'd say the major complication lies in the fact that Binaltech is split off into its own divergent parallel universe at the end of its story, which doesn't line up with the Beast Wars timeline, and hence can't really be a part of it, but HEY, thanks a lot for not paying attention recent Japanese continuity developments, there, Yee! - McFeely, not signed in
| |
| :::It splits off, but the split occours ''after'' Project Bodyshop was initiated, so it (and presumably the duplicate Prowl) remained part of the main timeline. (The split remaining post-BS was a plot point.)
| |
| :::Zac pretty much summed up my issues, he only missed one tiny point; | |
| :::chip!Prowl being redsignated Prowl 2 if-when original!Prowl came back isn't some abstract socratic point. Prowl ''does'' come back at some point. As a result there's ''two'' of them running around during BW-era.

| |
| | |
| ::::Ah, it's been a while since I read Binal-Prowl's full bio, but recardless of of where/how the original went out, the rest of the summary/points stand. I see what Derik's saying, and it does seem there's a decent possibillity that the owl and RiD Prowl 2s ''"likely could be"'' the same guy, but still for something this convoluted that's this much of a continuity/mind-screw I think we need something stronger that "likely could be" to include it as a fact. I remain with my original feeling: that it should get an explanation/note in here as an interesting/weird possibility, but I wouldn't go farther than that. --[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 14:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::::To be persnickety, I don't think we ''really'' know when the divergence occurs - it's not impossible that ''none'' of the events of Binaltech actually wind up occurring in the mainstream J-animated timeline (and it's certainly a smoother fit in the grand scheme of things). Project Bodyshop only started, after all, because Wheeljack specifically wanted to change the future, and the indication was that the existence of Binaltech warriors would lead to the Alternity - which, to me, says that Binaltech warriors don't exist in the mainstream timeline, otherwise there'd be no need to preserve the timeline Ravage screwed with. - McFeely again

| ::::::There's a mention of it in the IDW Beast Wars continuity now. A time long ago that "many Autobots succumbed to an infection that destroyed their bodies," during which "humans and Autobots worked together on a project to construct new bodies based on a combination of Earth and Cybertronian technology." Thus, "this led to the infusion of a human's essence into a robotic body, the result being a warrior who took on the mantle of the Autobot Prowl for a brief time." Ergo, Binaltech Prowl 2 = Beast Wars Prowl II.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 17:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>
