Heya.
Welcome.
You can use Greenstuff (from Games Workshop)or else reasonably thick card (Jigsaw puzzle grade,of which some like National Geographiic and Ravensburger are better quality) to convert the same Bumblebee head into a Movie version of Prowls' head. Focus on the Antennae G1 Prowl has on his forehead first, then consider if you will rework the eyes & cranium with Greenstuff.The mouth,if left as is but painted cleverly can talk 'ninja' and therefore throwback to Animated Prowl as tribute.Otherwise, you need big study and a dremel tool to remove the old mouth and then sculpt on a new one.Movie Jazz might be the best mouth to study, but his face is black and hard to investigate.
Option:Using Greenstuff, make a cast of the movie Jazz mouth.If you don't have one, see if you can borrow a friends' one for the job.Then, make a mold of the mouth using the cast and attatch it to the new Bumblebee becomes Prowl head.You can trim the cast as desired, and even make several to be sure you get the one you want.
Alternatively, shop around on Carbombya for a damaged classics Prowl/Bluestreak/Silverstreak/Smokescreen with head and then headswap..
I converted two TF1 Bumblebees into homegrown TFs (a green deployment disruptor named Gridlock [taxi cab] and a Protectobot Emergency blood transfer courier named Arrowbolt).With both, I simply painted the Prowl style antennae details directly onto the BB head.The result is acceptable because both are TFs who have never existed before, so there's nothing to compare them to.
Have fun here.Good luck with the job.

It's something that should never be taken away."
