Additionally, although the character did not feature in the animated series, the ''Robots in Disguise'' toyline featured a [[Spychanger]] figure named '''Prowl 2''', based on a previously-unreleased mould originally inteded for use in ''Generation 2''. Later, in [[2004]], this figure was recolored to resemble the original G1 Prowl, and released in an unnamed sub-line of Spychangers along with several other similar figures.

This new continuity introduced in [[2003]] again features two distinct characters by the name of Prowl. The first is, fortunately, fairly insignificant - a [[Mini-Con]] from the ''[[Transformers: Armada]]'' line and a member of the Emergency Team, this Prowl transforms into a police car and a gun. He did not appear in the animated series.

[[Image:Prowl_energon.jpg|right|thumb|''Energon'' Prowl]]The second holder of the Prowl name, from ''[[Transformers: Energon]]'', is a more notable character, known in Japan as '''Red Alert'''. This Prowl is head of security for several strategic bases, and in both robot mode and in his alternate mode as a Formula One police car, he is faster than any of his comrades. His hand weapon fires twin beams of energy which act like restraining cables, wrapping around an opponent and immobilising them. Endowed with the Spark of Combination, Prowl can "Powerlinx" with other, similarly-enabled Autobots, becoming either a torso or legs, allowing for the best configuration in any given his situation. Prowl is a true team player, but his suspicious nature prevents him from completely trusting any of his teammates - with the exception of his most frequent Powerlinx partner, [[Rodimus]].
