#He turned Kup into his kind-of-puppet and was ready to mind control him

[keferon]

I know a lot of people resent the way Prowl is portrayed in the IDW comics, but I personally love it. I think he exists on such a nice thin line between good and evil. Is he a horrible person? Yes. And no. But in context, yes. But in an additional context, no.

Does he deserve everything that happens to him? No. But if you check his history of actions, yes. But if you put those actions in the context of the war, then no. Can other characters put his actions in the context of war? Not always.

Was he wrong? No, he was right. But also, morally he was terribly wrong,...except when he wasn't. But history would have judged him as right.

And at the end of the day, (I'm pretty sure..) he doesn't have a sad wet kitten redemption arc. Because he doesn't regret anything. What a wonderful mess

thinking about Prowler thinking about how nobody figured out he was being controlled thinking about how everyone sees him as the bad guy even if they’re on the same side thinking about how even STARSCREAM becomes an important figure with (some) allies yet Prowl goes feral because of everything thinking about how the only people to support Prowl were the ones he was forced to mind-meld with thinking about all his relationships ending with others hating him thinking about
