MakeToys: New Fallen Prototype Images and Battle Tanker Replacement Head

Looks pretty friggin awesome to me! I want it. How is Maketoys going about distributing the replacement heads? Will they be..sold seperately for the already released batch of BT and/or be packaged with an upcoming batch of BT?

You know, not to sound offensive. But seriously, THAT many people are breaking the ball joint when replacing the head on their G2 Prime?! Are that many collectors THAT ham fisted? Its not rocket science here people, you unscrew original head, carefully peel it apart and put the new one on. I'm guessing the people who are experiencing these "issues" are just attempting to yank off the original head, and jam the new one on.

Seriously, steady hands and PATIENCE would probably cure the "issue" at hand here. Sheesh.

*BUZZ* Wrong. The replacement head needs to be boiled 30-90 seconds before installation. Even then, it can break the ball joint. It's not that people are inept, it's a design flaw.

Don't guess, read before you start lambasting people.

It's not very fallen like BUT it's still the epitome of sexiness

Now Im thinking about leaving on the old Optimus head until I get the newly designed one. I bought a United Prime for this set and I really hate to screw him up. Boiling a head in water sounds like the stupidest thing I ever heard of. Thanks once again to BBTS for the famous "pile of loot" feature which allows me not be the first guy to get my hands on the figure and inadvertantly screw him up.

Unsure about the Fallen. He looks cool but the only Fallen I ever knew was in the Bay-Verse.

Love the robot mode. That is one insanely accurate, spot-on tribute to the WW Fallen from the DW TF comic. I'm not fond of the fact that it breaks into 2 separate tanks but if I do get this it will stay in it's combined mode on a display shelf alongside my collection of 6" Titanium figures anyways.

This is going to screw up a lot of younger TF fans since most only know of "the Fallen" from the recent movies and many will starting complaining about this figure without having read the article or done any research further back into the TF mythology.
Regardless of how anyone reacts or what folks say, this is one sweet looking figure and I can't wait to get my hands on this. This will definitely be near the top of my "Must Have" list.

The Fallen looks pretty boss. As far as the two vehicles go, it'd be interesting to see that concept used in MakeToys's future projects. Maybe an Overlord?

I'm incredibly excited about the Fallen figure, and even moreso that it splits and transforms into two tanks! And I don't plan on upgrading my prime's head anyways.

That's what they should have done for the head in the first place. Glad they are addressing it though.

Fallen: Welp. Looks like my TF budget for next year just shot up by a bunch. That looks freakin' awesome. Wonder what's up with the weird PCC-ish combination ports though.

This Fallen figure is looks like it can & will be one of the best 3rd party toys ever put out. The people thats complaining about the 2 tank mode, look at the combined tank mode. Either way however this guy gets displayed its gonna look awesome in anybody's collection.
