Prowl (Animated)
| The name or term "Prowl" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Prowl (disambiguation). |
- Prowl is an Autobot in the Transformers Animated continuity family.
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 finds extremely frustrating.
Yeah, he's still a bit of a prick, but in an "I'm a loner" kinda way instead of a "Frag off" kinda way.
Fiction
Transformers: Animated cartoon
Prowl is equipped with several variations of throwing stars. One is a traditional 3 sided blade, another is ring shaped, etc.. He uses them in ranged and close combat (holding onto and slashing with them). One of the more powerful attacks seems to feature Prowl spinning the 3-sided star for a close range, buzzsaw type attack. He appears to be able to fly, turn invisible, walk on walls, and generate a hologram of a human cop on his motorcycle mode to disguise himself better. He sports a pair of Kamina-brand sunglasses.
Prowl shows a lack of interest in both teamwork (as a loner-type) and in the motivational (kinda long winded) speeches of Optimus Prime. He does not obey orders at first and learns of the consequences first hand as he is nearly killed by a nanite enhanced cockroach in the Pilot movie (episode 00). After his revival at the hands of Sari and her Allspark-empowered key, he shows that he has become a valued team player when he heads out with Bumblebee and Sari to save Professor Sumdac and Captain Fanzone.
Prowl is hinted to have a rivalry with the Decepticon bounty hunter Lockdown.
He also has a retractable faceplate.
