Notes
- Characters mentioned in Prowl's Teletraanic History Records include: Optimus Prime, Buster Witwicky, Shockwave, Megatron, G.B. Blackrock, Ratchet, Starscream, Grimlock, the Dinobots, Unicron, Bludgeon, the Last Autobot, Rodimus, the Seacons, Ultra Magnus/Mammoth, Ironhide, Silverbolt, Magnaboss, and Depth Charge.
- Images used to represent Prowl include: his bit during the Autobot "introdump" from issue #1 of the Marvel The Transformers comic; close-ups of Prowl from both issue #76 and issue #80; Prowl explaining the process by which the Autobots will prevent energon radiation damage in "Shattered Time"; and Prowl saluting Ultra Mammoth from "Shattered Hope".
- The reference number for Prowl's Teletraanic History Record (itself coming from the Autobot computer from the Sunbow The Transformers cartoon, Teletraan I) is "#CR13//ONOKOU21N4860018A.12-16"; "CR13" is derived from Prowl's original toy's origins in the Diaclone toyline, where it was figure No.13 in the "Car Robots" line; "ONOKOU" comes from Kōjin Ōno, the man who designed his original toy; "4860018A" comes from his original toy's US patent number, "US4680018 A".
- This file is a overview of Prowl's history from throughout the Classics continuity. Being basically a mini-wiki article, most of the stuff isn't really notable, aside from what's newly introduced: Prowl is confirmed to be one of Starscream's Underbase-fueld casualties from #50, and Optimus specifically ordering Prowl to join up with the Graviton.
- Characters mentioned in Prowl's bio include: Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus/Mammoth, Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, Spinister, and Needlenose.
- Prowl is noted to now have the holographic abilities and shurikens of his Animated counterpart.
Errors
- The Children's Museum article needs a space between "Amazing" and "Transformers" in its title.
