Prowl

Prowl was one of the initial members of Team Prime fighting the Decepticons on Earth and a minor protagonist of Transformers: Sonic Prime. He was originally a partner of Ironhide and also the first partner (and boyfriend) of Arcee. However, Prowl was killed by Starscream. Prowl's body was then used as a test subject for Dark Energon and turned into a Terrorcon, only to be killed once again. His death would be one of Arcee's nightmares.

## Bio

### Info

Some people are team players, and some... well, aren't. Prowl falls into the latter category. A loner at heart, he has little interest in teamwork, something Optimus Prime finds extremely frustrating. 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.

Seemingly bound up in his martial-arts philosophy is his deep, deep fascination with Earth's natural environment. His quarters on Earth is missing most of its ceiling, allowing him a permanent window into nature. In fact, he seems to have a deeper appreciation of his new surroundings than the humans who grew up with them. 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.

When called to battle, Prowl uses an array of throwing weapons, such as cutting discs, that he can hurl with high accuracy. 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. He can project holograms of himself, using them to misdirect his enemies. He also has a jetpack, granting him limited flight.

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.In fact, Jazz, witnessing him in action, remarked that Prowl must not have finished his cyber ninja training. The true story is more complex: having failed to protect the infant protoforms, Prowl ended his studies in disgrace, seeking to commune with the Allspark. His quest for redemption and inner peace has ended in failure...so far.

### Appearance

In robot mode, Prowl is black, gold, and white resembling to his Animated counterpart. Back on Cybertron, his vehicle mode was a Cybertronian Hoverbike, later when arriving to Earth, his Earth vehicle mode is a Police Motorcycle. Later on, he took another Earth vehicle mode: a Police Car.

### Personality

As the Chief of Law Enforcement and Emergency and also Ninjabot; Prowl is a dedicated, respective and strict Autobot, who follows the rules and regulations, laws and traditions. He is also calm, calculated and resourceful Protectobot for analyzing and studying before engaging the situation. Though he is stern and serious with his enforcement and emergency works, he has softer side for caring, encouraging and supporting his team and his former girlfriend, Arcee - to be at their best. He also appreciate Earth's nature and animals, which he considered to be a paradise and peace for him to meditate and enjoy.

While he isn't as cocky and reckless as Cliffjumper and Jazz, he still tends to handle things himself. However, that led to his death at the hands of Starscream and the Decepticons.

## History

Prowl tried to avoid being drafted into fighting in the Great War, but was apprehended by Warpath and taken to Yoketron's dojo. Seeing potential in the young 'bot, Yoketron offered to teach Prowl in exchange for dropping the charges against him. Despite some initial difficulties, Prowl soon became an accomplished martial artist, and eventually Yoketron deemed him worthy of a place in the Cyber-Ninja Corps. He also met and dated a fembot ninja warrior, Arcee.

After receiving the shurikens that would become his signature weapons, Yoketron showed Prowl a hidden room in the dojo, accessible only via the advanced processor-over-matter technique. This room contained the protoforms the Cyber-Ninja Corps had sworn to protect, a last-ditch reserve of potential soldiers should Project Omega fail. However, Prowl proved unable to operate the door, and Yoketron thus sent him on an optics quest to master the skill and become a true Cyber-Ninja.
Prowl continued to struggle with the technique, however, and on returning to the dojo he discovered that an unknown assailant had ransacked the dojo, stolen the protoforms, and mortally wounded Yoketron. Prowl couldn't do anything to save his soon-to-be fallen master. Assured by Yoketron that he is forgiven, Prowl watched his sensei's spark expire and mourned his loss. After this, not wanting to lose another person he cared about, he broke up with Arcee who understood, knowing who it feels.

During the dark days of Cybertron, Prowl found one of the remaining protoforms that were laying around. However, he was knocked out by an unknown bounty hunter. He was later taken to Starscream where he was reunited with Arcee and met with Cliffjumper.
