It is. The original The Fallen was drawn by Pat Lee for Dreamwave and has since been slightly re-done by Don Figueroa for IDW. And since Don is also now directly involved with designing ALL of the War Within titanium figures (as well as the G1 Scourge, Rodimus Prime & Ultra Magnus titaniums), it makes sense that what he did for The Fallen would follow his own version rather than Pat Lee's.

Pat Lee's original version was decent, but poorly thought-out when it came to actual transformation. Don, on the other hand, is not only a freakishly good artist but also has a natural sixth sense for being able to design (or modify the designs of existing) characters in a way that can directly translate into toy forms should Hasbro want them to... rather than the other way around where the toy usually comes first. All of his War Within stuff was created from the get-go to be functional toys if the opportunity ever arose (which it did thankfully), and just look at what he managed to think up for G1 Rodimus & Magnus. Over 20 years later, we finally have versions of these characters that are accurate single-piece molds that still look like the way they were depicted in the cartoons & comics.

Hehe, sorry for the Don F. worship here - I just want the guy to get as much credit as he deserves :) He's proven that he is not only one of, if not THE, best TF artists out there, but now he's able to take his talents to the next level and give us some of the best figures we've seen yet. I just hope Hasbro gets him involved with making some larger plastic versions of characters as well, and not keeping him stuck just doing 6" Titaniums.


I agree, Don deserves troves of rewards and praise for his efforts. I still think Lees Fallen was a much better design, both in bot and tank mode, but DFs is pretty awsome as well.

Whu.....?
:???:

Wasn't this the figure for the guy from War Within that was among the first 13 or whatever, who were created to protect Primus while in his Planet mode, only to betray them and go over to Unicron instead? Thought that was a Dream Wave story and that his name was "the Fallen".....

I'm not sure Hasbro is at all concerned about canon

I'm not sure that they are either, but as we learn from Vector Prime the idea of the first 13 I was talking about before is at least cannon enough to get brought up in Cybertron (even if it was just to claim Vector Prime was among the first transformers created by Primus).

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

Gosh The fallen looks like a cross between magatron and armada Tidal Wave.

What drove home me wanting Cheetor were the robot mode action picks, and your pics of a somehow reoccuring character finaly getting a decent design.

It was nice how you sealed it shut by standing him before all the crappy attempts prior.

The Fallen just looks cool!

I think this version of Cheetor is the most cartoon accurate so far, that is another reason why I want him now. Plus I have started a bit of a Cheetor collection kick this past year :P

I'm not really digging either of these figures. Sorry, it's just me.


I like Cheetor a lot, but "the fallen" just seems a waste of space too me.

No, the gallery that is a waste of space is going to be posted before the end of the night.

The Fallen looks AWESOME and will be mine! :grin:

Cheetor is actually not bad, and if I ever see it for less than 12 bucks I'd probably pick it up.

It seems like the quality of these figures keeps improving as they go, especially after the GIJoe Megatron fiasco. Makes me extremely hopeful to see what the 6" Prowl and Grimlock molds look like.

Got the Fallen recently, and I gotta say, he's rather good.

First, the bad stuff:

The threads on his back are floopy, and the right elbow on mine was a little too loose, but both were fixed with the application of a little clear nail polish.

Articulation wise, his knees don't seem to bend a full 90 degrees (I feel a lot of stress when I try to bend 'em, so I just leave 'em alone out of fear of breakage), and the size of his forearms restrict his elbows from bending fully in certain configurations.

There's also some QC issues with his arm cannons.

Now the good stuff:

Despite what's noted about, his articulation is actually quite complete.

Sculpt is cool, it's real "old school", almost Super Robot-ish. Additionally, the black is cool and he really does give off a nice fiery feel.

Overall, Fallen is definitely a good figure, and I'd recommend him. A-
