...do you not think Prowl 2 needs an article? -Derik 21:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't even understand what that was about. -- SFH 21:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Read, learn. -Derik 21:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Skimming the booklet, it looks like "Prowl 2" ended up as just a new body for Prowl, and is not meaningfully a separate character. It should probably be handled in Prowl's article. JW 22:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Amazingly actually reading the booklet yields a different result than skimming it. -Derik 22:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Given my apparent lack of reading skills, I would appreciate it if you would give us a summary of your reasons for creating this page. JW 22:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay! Summary follows:

He's a separate character from Prowl.

Summary ends. -Derik 22:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I took the time to read it more thoroughly. The Prowl described there is A) a copy of Prowl's consciousness, previously stored on a computer, plus B) a human (Chip Chase) in a symbiotic relationship with him, right?

Ergo, it's a lot like Powermaster Optimus Prime as he appeared in the G1 comics, who we don't consider to be a separate character. Heck, given that we still consider the Prime from Marvel Comics issue 80 to be the same character (a Last Autobot-empowered reincarnation of Prime, based on Hi-Q, based on Powermaster Optimus Prime, who in turn was made from a floppy disc copy of the original Prime), I don't think Prowl 2 warrants a new page. It's the same guy as Prowl. JW 22:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

That would be a completely adequate explanation if we didn't have this guy and the original Prowl running around simultaneously, as different individuals, in two separate places in continuity.

And also if, you know, we hadn't actually gotten a toy called 'Prowl 2.' -Derik 22:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, heck, dude, if you'd said that in the first place, instead of being all coy . . . JW 22:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

...Isn't it implied by creating an article for him? Guys who aren't separate characters don't get one. -Derik 22:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Beast Wars Sourcebook heavily implies that Transmetal 2 Prowl is Binaltech Prowl in a new body, while Prowl from Magnaboss is the original Ark crewman in a new body. Yes, Ben Yee has made this a royal clusterfuck, but it's a canonical clusterfuck now.--Rosicrucian^Talk 22:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

WhY mY HEad hURt? -- SFH 22:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I know I'm only inviting a headache by asking, but... why is RID Prowl 2 in this? --M Sipher 23:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Was Binaltech Prowl actually called "Prowl 2"? --KilMichaelMcC 23:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
