Name: Prowl
Motto: Through stillness you will find truth
Function: Spy
Profile:
Prowl has spent his life studying the secrets of the ancient art of Circuit-Su. Through its teachings, he has discovered the beauty of pure logic, and the invincibility of reason. All things - even combat - are subject to reason. If one is willing to calmly apply one's mental faculties to any problem, the solution will soon reveal itself. He often finds the chaotic antics of humans and other AUTOBOTS frustrating, but he will stop at nothing in their defence.

Galactic Powers and Abilities:
- Master of Circuit-Su
- Projects holograms for use as camouflage.
- Can use any object as a weapon.

Prowl is Awesomesauce.

They are waaaay overcharging for in Australia Shipping too, so are probably ripping everyone else off with shipping costs as well as ripping them off with the BIN.

They have quotes again? WOO-HO0!
Sort of ridiculous "Circiut-su" but it's not half bad.
Just not the Prowl I'm used to, but I can grow to like it.

now it makes sense, his abilities states he can use any object as a weapon so that explains the traffic light.

Mon Dec 03, 2007 5:21 pm

Since he can use any object, wouldn't it be cool if a different object cam with each prowl figure .Traffic light
Stop sign, etc?

End of story.

Ok what ever figures i get out of this line will either be the offspring of there namesakes or renamed. I think its time for hasbro to start making some new names instead of using already existing ones.

Its tacky but the figure itself looks fun, I just wish Prowl could be a cop car again, oh real Prowl I miss you so.

Mon Dec 03, 2007 5:32 pm

wasn't Circuit-Su in the MTMTE books?

Circuit-su was one of the styles Dreamwave made up when they did their G1 Guidebooks, if I remember correctly.

This is an interesting hybrid of G1 and new information. The original Prowl was very logic oriented with an advanced processing center. This ninja incarnation is actually very cool...I'm looking forward to more development of their character.

Teh ghey.

Yeah, it was. In the last issue in the section talking about Cybertronian martial arts along with Metallitako, Crystalocution, Diffusion, and Pit Fighting.

Well, the TF Universe now has a ninja and a pirate.

I think we can call this line wrapped up now

News Credits: 8 · Mon Dec 03, 2007 6:03 pm

"...call on the jack, jack, jack Samuri Jack..."

Still not liking it, but this is a good instance where a new name could be introduced.

What about zombies, werewolves, and Chuck Norris?

I see that they did not abandon Prowl's G1 personality entirely. This pleases me.

How could we forget Chuck Norris! I would love animated if Chuck Norris was in it!

Yeah, I gotta agree. I don't mind them changing a few things, but when they change a character so much, they need to stop kidding themselves. If it's essentially a new character, give it a new name.

But so far that's my only major grievance with the series, so they might be doing something right.

Then they lose the Trademark/copyright of that name and can no longer use it. Would you prefer that?

This isn't G1 Prowl, it's Animated Prowl, different character with the same name, just like there are oodles of Johns, Marys and Harrys out there in the real world, different characters, same name.

Well yeah, but they could at least make him look a bit like Prowl, we haven’t gotten a good aotobot cop car in awhile.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I always thought that if they 'lose' the name that just means that they can no longer hold exclusive copyright to it. They could still have a character named Prowl if they wanted, but there'd be nothing to stop someone else also using the name.
