>>7439168They made two Beast Wars characters named Prowl, both meant to be G1 Prowl having somehow survived the movie.
Later canon said the Prowl who is part of a Combiner with Quicksilver and Ironhide is G1 Prowl.
Ravage apparently went back in time, and the ripple gave Wheeljack knowledge of the deaths in the movie. So he built some replacement bodies who house the Sparks of the G1 Autobots while Ravage accidently also provided means of resurrection for the Decepticons. This kind of fixes how in Japanese canon a bunch of characters are suddenly not dead, and the resurrections in G2 for the US.
Then later, Chip Chase started dying so they stuck his spirit in the backup Prowl body. They both survived into Beast Wars.
So Prowl the owl Transformer, now called Prowl 2 because it was part of Transmetal 2, is actually Chip Chase. Prowl the prick is a lion.
Also, in IDW there’s two Prowl 2’s and no Chip Chase for some reason.
