(Post-war with Prowl being built post war)

So, Jazz was always blind. (He used to be able to see light and vague shapes, but damage he received combined with the over use of his visor during the war burned out the rest of his vision.) He found other ways to get around. His visor helped, he used other sensors in his body, and he used his speaks for a bit of ecolocation at times.

During the war, he pushed these abilities far past the max his frame could saftey use them at. He also got a lot of injuries during the war too.

Now, post-war, Ratchet is concerned about his frame. He burned out sensors far beyond repair, his processor is stressed from utilizing part of his frame in ways that arn't ment to for extended periods of time plus pushing them beyond their max, and other injures are acting up. Ratchet wants Jazz to significantly lower his visor usage, lower his sensory input, and give his frame a rest.

Jazz doesn't like this, becuase this will cause him to be disconnected from the world. But Ratchet explains that if he doesn't, he will damage himself more. So, Jazz needs to find other way to get around, as all his adaptation are now restricted from war damage. So, he gets a guide dog (and is not happy about it.)

Prowl is a pure pred, highly trained, highly intelligent guide dog. He gets placed with Jazz through a program. He is a very professional, very dedicated, very to the books (training).

Jazz now has this dog that is very adaptable to new situations, but does not like to budge on what it thinks he should do. This dog thinks he knows better then Jazz. The dog does not luke taking "no" as an answer.

Jazz now needs to learn to depend on another being after learning to only depending on himself.

Jazz also has some PTSD. Prowl just sits by his side, being an alive and safe presence, when ever Jazz breaks down.

Prowl gets angry when Jazz ignoring his alerts. Prowl gets very shocked when Jazz disregards the rules Prowl learned to follow during training.
