 * ...do you not think Prowl 2 needs an article? -Derik 21:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't even understand what that was about. -- SFH 21:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Read, learn. -Derik 21:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Skimming the booklet, it looks like "Prowl 2" ended up as just a new body for Prowl, and is not meaningfully a separate character. It should probably be handled in Prowl's article.  JW 22:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Amazingly actually reading the booklet yields a different result than skimming it. -Derik 22:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Given my apparent lack of reading skills, I would appreciate it if you would give us a summary of your reasons for creating this page. JW 22:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay! Summary follows:
 * ''He's a separate character from Prowl.
 * Summary ends. -Derik 22:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I took the time to read it more thoroughly. The Prowl described there is A) a copy of Prowl's consciousness, previously stored on a computer, plus B) a human (Chip Chase) in a symbiotic relationship with him, right?
 * Ergo, it's a lot like Powermaster Optimus Prime as he appeared in the G1 comics, who we don't consider to be a separate character. Heck, given that we still consider the Prime from Marvel Comics issue 80 to be the same character (a Last Autobot-empowered reincarnation of Prime, based on Hi-Q, based on Powermaster Optimus Prime, who in turn was made from a floppy disc copy of the original Prime), I don't think Prowl 2 warrants a new page.  It's the same guy as Prowl.  JW 22:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be a completely adequate explanation if we didn't have this guy and the original Prowl running around simultaneously, as different individuals, in two separate places in continuity.
 * And also if, you know, we hadn't actually gotten a toy called 'Prowl 2.' -Derik 22:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, heck, dude, if you'd said that in the first place, instead of being all coy . . . JW 22:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * ...Isn't it implied by creating an article for him? Guys who aren't separate characters don't get one. -Derik 22:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Beast Wars Sourcebook heavily implies that Transmetal 2 Prowl is Binaltech Prowl in a new body, while Prowl from Magnaboss is the original Ark crewman in a new body. Yes, Ben Yee has made this a royal clusterfuck, but it's a canonical clusterfuck now.--RosicrucianTalk 22:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I know I'm only inviting a headache by asking, but... why is RID Prowl 2 in this? --M Sipher 23:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Was Binaltech Prowl actually called "Prowl 2"? --KilMichaelMcC 23:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
