Original Tumblr post:
Wizard!Prowl was created when I read about how IDW Prowl is known for intricate and long-running plans and to flip tables and my immediate thought was ‘so he’s subtle and quick to anger, like a wizard.’ This is why there’s some Early Installment Weirdness in The Visitor where he’s a little more impatient with Jazz than he is from that point on. To be fair, he thinks Jazz is an apprentice wizard who’s been slacking on his studies when they first meet.
Of course, Wizard!Prowl wound up having no real temper to speak of and wouldn’t flip a table in anger ever, but that’s just how these things go. :)
