FOR I AM AN ENGINE AND I'M ROLLING ON

PROWL

Affiliation: Autobot

Occupation: Cyber Ninja

Alt mode: Honda ST1300

Knowledgable and calm, Prowl is the stealth expert of the Autobots. He tends to do things to the beat of his own drum, and this individualism in a situation where he's supposed to be working as part of a team doesn't mesh quite well. Regardless, if nothing else, he has his honor, and he doesn't let the small things in life slip by him. After all, a true cyber-ninja can find a way to utilize every minute detail of any situation. He and Jazz trained under Yoketron to hone their martial arts skills until their master's demise, whence he set off to continue his training on his own. He was unofficially inducted into the protagonists party by way of his meditation spot being discovered by Bulkhead during a routine space bridge repair shift. From there, their adventures together began, until they were cut short by stingy network executives Prowl's own spark being extinguished in a heroic act of self-sacrifice.

The silence is calming, but it is also so deafeningly loud. I am hidden, cloaked in a blanket of the quiet that I blend into perfectly, but I wonder then if every little movement I make has a sound. I wonder if the flatlined air turns the smallest breath into a suffocated gasp or the tiniest joint curl into the scream of an old squeaky wooden door. Soon, too, I will be swallowed up by this silence, as it will swallow us all up someday. Let it be more peaceful than this.
