Having no organic life, the planet known as Cybertron was inhabited by a race of robotic creatures. The true origin of these beings and their world was unknown even to them, as it had been lost over the passage of time. The metallic beings of this world lived in peace for many years, developing great technology and space travel. In the past, I've seen others and I just was not too thrilled with their blocky appearances, and totally non-organic form. Then along came Prowl, hmm.
Prowl is the prime example of a segmented model.
Over 32 separate pieces make up the whole model. Considering the male model is made up of 590 faces, Prowl is an outstanding piece of work. Although Prowl is a large robot that usually towers over humans in the series, the author has him sized down closer to the more acceptable Q2 male proportion, so bounding box issues are not apparent except for the crouch sequences. Throughout most of the animations the size relation is not off by much until you get to the these cycles. At these points, Prowls head, shoulders, and part of his upper torso clips into the ceiling.
