Prowl (Cyberverse)

*Prowl is an Autobot from the Cyberverse continuity family.*

Stylized prick.

Patient, loyal, and highly intelligent, the high-ranking **Prowl** *definitely* needs to loosen up a bit. He's serious-minded, detests anything that's unorderly and is always following protocol. Because of this, Bumblebee wants to show him the meaning of the word "fun". Just don't sneak up on him. He has a VERY tenuous trigger-finger.

After it was determined that Optimus had made a mistake in launching the AllSpark, the *Ark* was launched to retrieve it, Prowl amongst its crew. As the ship sailed through the void, however, its energon stores dipped, forcing the crew into stasis pods. Teletraan-1 eventually tracked the AllSpark to Earth, only for the *Ark* to suffer a hull breach and crash-land in Mount St. Hilary. Some 66 million years later, Prowl, along with the rest of the crew, was reawakened by Bumblebee and Teletraan-X in time to see the Decepticon fleet invade Earth. Eruption

He sent Cheetor back to Ratchet, sending the newbie into depression until Bee took him for scout training. Prowl soon found he was short one blaster cartridge, and watched Wheeljack haul off his new specimen. Spotted

Prowl joined Rack'N'Ruin in guarding Starscream before taking part in a shuttle diversion. The plan failed to fool Sky-Byte, who stalled the ship long enough for the Nemesis to deliver the heavy fire. The cons detonated the bridge even after the *Ark* was repaired with AllSpark power, forcing them to take the long way home. Escape From Earth

After chatting and racing with Hot Rod during a celebration party, it went downhill when Wheeljack's AllSpark badges overloaded their circuits. Prime soon set things right. Party Down Prowl later celebrated as the Autobots returned to Cybertron. The Crossroads

*Cyberverse* One-Step Changer Prowl is a brand-new mold that transforms from a robot into a police car and back. He features an Action Attack gimmick, "Jetblast" which extends a pair of cannons over his head when the spoiler on his back is slid into position.

Prowl was retooled into Jazz.
* **Prowl** (Warrior Class, 2019)

*Cyberverse* Warrior Class Prowl is a deluxe-sized mold that shares a similar transformation from Bumblebee. Like all *Cyberverse* Warrior Class toys, Prowl features an attack gimmick, a "Jetblast", which pops out a pair of cannons from his back when his chest is pushed down.
* **Prowl** (Ultra Class, 2019)
	+ *Action Attack*: "Siren Blast"

*Cyberverse* Ultra Class Prowl is a voyager-sized mold that transforms from a robot into a police car and back, while sharing Bumblebee's transformation scheme.

Unlike the stock render, Prowl's robot mode eyes are not painted.
Prowl saw a very limited release in the United States. Essentially he, was only ever stocked by Amazon, since the wave he was supposed to be ship in was never available at retail, and wasn't even solicited by action figure online retailers such as BigBadToyStore either. In fact, it was even omitted from the wave numbering at Entertainment Earth entirely! Despite that, the wave *did* see a retail release in Canada, Russia and Germany.

*Cyberverse* Battle Class Prowl is a downsized figure, roughly the size of previous Scout/Legends/Basic class figures but larger than contemporary *Cyberverse* Scout Class figures. He comes with the "Cosmic Patrol" fighter jet, which seems to be based on the alternate mode of Decepticon Triggerhappy. It splits apart into his battle armor that includes shoulder-mounted guns similar to the original Prowl toy.
* **Quintesson Invasion** (2019/2020)

A re-release of the Battle Class Prowl toy without the Spark Armor comes with an equally unchanged and Spark Armor-less Shockwave and a new Quintesson figure. Prowl also comes with something that looks like a mind-control helmet to wear on. Ironically, Prowl himself died before encountering the Quintessons.
This item is first sighted at Target in late December without any prior announcement from Hasbro.

	+ *Series*: **1, 2**

## Notes

* The Japanese dub of *Cyberverse* has Prowl generally end his sentences with "de arimasu" (であります), a talking style often assigned to military-related characters. In anime shorthand, this suggests a character is a by-the-book sort.
