    I'm sensing the overall theme for pretty much every secondary G1 character is "they were just kinda there for most of TF history, and then when IDW got the license they did awesome things with them". Not that I'm complaining, of course.

    The Original Prowl was my very first Transformer toy. I remember how I almost cried when he was killed in the movie.
  • @IsaiahINRI
    Prowl's smile at the end of Animated will always be a gut punch
  • @Getwright-
    Another cool thing about prowl is that they often didnt "cheat" his transformation in the G1 cartoon. The same way you transformed the toy is how he would often change on the show.
  • @willrigby8202
    Animated Prowl was my introduction to the character.

    If you take a look at IKEA's rules and policies under "No smoking aloud in the store" is "For Primus sake DON'T LET PROWL NEAR A TABLE OF ANY KIND!"

    “-who felt only in facts and logic.” Shockwave: Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!

    my favorite Prowl has to be from Animated, he's very different from all the other incarnations, which is not always a bad thing, he was his own character. tho i have to say his alternate design look pretty cool.

    The second Beast wars prowl was a Pr-OWL *Laugh track intensifies*
  • Don’t you just love how IDW can make any Transformer memorable like Prowl? G1 Prowl was the start and IDW just you know… made him a compelling war criminal for the Autobots
  • @commanderbale
    See an owl beast mode to me just seems way more fitting then a loin. Owls are a lot less aggressive and more strategic with how they hunt and just in general calmer which seems more like him to me.

    Prowl has always been a favorite. Considering I also like characters like Cyclops and USAgent I suppose I have a soft spot for characters the fandom usually hate.
  • @stu729
    IDW Comic book Prowl is definitely my favorite. He certainly is morally gray and not one to be fully trusted with your own safety, but dependable to do what he feels was necessary for the survival of the Autobot cause. Even if that means breaking some of their core tenets. SPOILER: I loved how they made him to be a re-creator of sorts to both Springer and Kup, one for morally light reasons, the other for his more grayed reasons. And how no table is safe from his fury.
  • @kylelangdon6724
    Someone’s gonna have to explain the whole table flipping thing to me.
  • @zenbrown9715
    How he used Kup in All Hail Megatron was jus messed up. I'm glad Springer punched him for it cuz somebody had to do it

    IDW Prowl: "I cherish peace with all my spark. I don't care how many Autobots, Decepticons, or protoforms I need to offline to get it"
