In an attempt to get Bulkhead to be less bumbling and destructive, he tried to teach his comrade how to move with ninja-like grace as he did. Ironically, when Megatron took over the factory, Prowl was able to show Bumblebee the value of stillness in battle, something the pair would work on later in a game of Twister™. Even worse, Sari threw a slumber party, pushing Prowl to the edge with the commotion. Returning to base, he hid out in his Japanese-themed room, only to be interrupted by Prime and Bumblebee. He found it fascinating, but was aggravated when he was interrupted by human fans. Later, Prowl was watching a cat stalk a bird. After his revival at the hands of Sari and the AllSpark-empowered Key, he showed that he had become a valuable team player when he headed out with Sari to save Bumblebee, Professor Sumdac and Captain Fanzone from Starscream. He did not obey orders at first and learned of the consequences firsthand as he was nearly killed by a nanite-enhanced cockroach. Prowl showed a lack of interest in both teamwork (as a loner type) and in the motivational (kinda long-winded) speeches of Optimus Prime. His service with them was meant to be temporary, until they could drop him off on Cybertron. Due to an accident with some explosives, Prowl's ship was destroyed, and with no other option he had to join Optimus' crew. Five Servos of Doomīumblebee and Bulkhead found Prowl meditating when clearing some rocks blocking a space bridge. However, he was scolded by his master who told him that he should not sacrifice the future for a piece of the past and that when his time came, he would understand after which Yoketron passed on to the Well of All Sparks.
In an attempt to save his dying master, he retrieved one hidden protoform and transplanted Yoketron's spark to it.
Whilst away on a mission, Prowl returned to his master's fortress only to discover it badly damaged and Yoketron fatally wounded as well as most of the chamber full of protoforms stolen. Eventually, he progressed under his training. During his training, he was stripped off his upgrades in order for him to learn to combat foes without them. Prowl then transformed and attempted to leave the fortress but was stopped by Yoketron who took Prowl as an apprentice and trained him in the arts of the cyberninja.
Prowl believed that no one looked out for him so why should he have looked out for others to which master Yoketron informed him that if he could get past Yoketron then he would be free to go where ever he wished. His lack of actions led to his arrest but he was pardoned and taken to Sensei Yoketron by Warpath who showed nothing but disgust for Prowl's actions. The bot that would become known as Prowl was active during the time of the Great War where he lived a solitary life which did not involve him fighting the Decepticons. Voice actor: Jeff Glen Bennett (English), Lutz Schnell (German), Yusa Koji (Japanese) If it isn't current, you can help by updating it. It will be added to as the story progresses. Perhaps that might provide a clue as to why a martial artist like Prowl was assigned to that oft-maligned repair duty.įiction Transformers Animated cartoon This section covers fiction that is ongoing. In fact, Jazz, witnessing him in action, remarked that Prowl must not have finished his cyber ninja training.
Prowl is probably the most skilled fighter of his comrades, but this might not be saying much, as they were a mere space bridge repair crew before finding themselves suddenly defending the AllSpark against the resurgent Decepticons. He is also the only member of his team with a jetpack, granting him limited flight. He can project holograms of himself, using them to misdirect his enemies. While useful as projectiles, these weapons tend to be far more damaging at close range and will occasionally bounce off their target with little damage if thrown from too great a distance. When called to battle, Prowl uses an array of throwing weapons, such as shurikens, that he can hurl with high accuracy. The phrase "stop and smell the roses" is a life truth for Prowl, and he can spend hours motionless, watching the organic world play out around him. In fact, he seems to have a deeper appreciation of his new surroundings than the humans who grew up with them. His quarters on Earth is missing most of its ceiling, allowing him a permanent window into nature. Seemingly bound up in his martial-arts philosophy is his deep, deep fascination with Earth's natural environment. Prowl feels cooperation with the loud and unsubtle Autobots around him would cramp his style: a keen Cyber-Ninja prowess with elements of Circuit-Su and Metallikato. A loner at heart, he has little interest in teamwork, something Optimus Prime finds extremely frustrating. Some people are team players, and some, well, aren't.
