Prower
| “ | Punchy's Motorbike is also an Autobot. Sidecar to make strong armor for the quick, slick and stealthy Prower. He relies on his Ninjutsu, Razor-Sharp Choppin' Hands, Shuriken Stars and holographic images make him a Sharp close-bot-attacker. | ” |

Prower (sometimes spelled Prowler) is Punchy Sonichu's Autobot motorcycle.
Prower shares many similarities with the Autobot cyber-ninja Prowl from the Transformers animated series, such as their samurai armor (which is a sidecar in vehicle-mode), their name, their vehicle-mode, and the fact that both are ninjas, relying on stealth, holographic images and shurikens to fight. Chris once again proves to be a creative genius who never ripped anything off ever in any way.
In the CWCipedia article for Punchy Sonichu, Chris elaborates on the circumstances under which Punchy and Prower met. It basically amounts to Punchy noticing a motorcycle, talking to it, and it talking back (of note: in the exchange, Prower seems to be far more well-versed in random-access humor than Punchy, despite Chris frequently expounding on the latter's prowess in that area.) The two then nonsensically agree to be partners. Chris also cutely dubs them "Friends of the Fist".[1]
It is also worth noting that Prower is extremely close to how a stereotypical Asian would pronounce "Prowler," perhaps a reference to Punchy's perceived ethnicity. Another coincidence is that our autistic hero has, amongst the ocean of useless junk that lies in his bedroom, a Prowl model, which is briefly shown in Chris' video CWCFlyingElephants.
In a last display of intellectual theft, "Prower" is also the last name of the character Tails in Sonic the Hedgehog.
