Prowl (TM2)
| The name or term "Prowl" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Prowl (disambiguation). |
- Prowl is a Maximal in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Prowl is not a verbose Maximal, preferring instead to listen. He gathers information, analyzes it, and instantly suggets an appropriate couse of action. His logical mind is without match among his Maximal brethren, who rank him among their best military strategists.
Fiction
Toy Bio
Prowl has a dry, ironic sense of humor. A great military strategist in this life, Prowl thinks he fullfilled that same role in a previous life.
(Note: Prowl's toy bio suggest that he has some connection to Generation 1 Prowl, perhaps even being one and the same.)
Beast Wars: The Gathering comics continuity
Prowl was one of the protoforms left behind by the crew of the 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 shell-program by Razorbeast's viral code.
Accompanied by Night Glider, Sonar, and Air Hammer, Prowl sped to meet up with Razorbeast. These flyers 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.

- Prowl (Deluxe Transmetal, 1999)
- Prowl is a 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, one white, turquoise, and red, the other black, blue, and red.
