Prowl (IDW) 

He is cold, calculating, PRAGMATIST! He is obsessed with rules and strategy and logic, and is kind of a jerk at times. He manipulates a bit too much, and isn't as half as nice as his other iterations. His design is fire tho. Also he likes to flip tables. Beware.
"Prowl (IDW) has pricktitude that fluctuates like waves in the ocean.
