I think I see him in Animated's future. The bot-con war won't last the entire series I think.

hmmmm an Animated appearence sounds good but I would much more love to see a new toy for him thats not the Titanium version

News Credits: 1 · Thu May 22, 2008 11:08 am

I'd like to see Fallen fighting Prime (in Animated?) I'm happy with my Titanium Fallen and want more.

Probably for Universe. I think we're going to start seeing a whole bunch of different things in Universe besides the Classics.

Even so, the Titanium mold from what I hear was one fo the better Titaniums out there unlike GIJoe_I_fall_apart_if_you_look_at_me_sideways Megatron.

ooooh....the Fallen...

Main villian in the next movie, paving the way for Unicron in the third instalment :twisted:

Hmmm, I would be up for The Fallen in the Universe line. I have the Titanium version, but I don't like his "block fists". I also wouldn't mind a slightly more sturdy bot mode. Mine is kinda wonky.

Could be.... :-?

I seriously doubt universe though. The titanium version seems like enough of a fanwank to me (though I would love a classics version). It's just that the titanium one seems very much a classics figure.

possible movie application :-?

I don’t think Fallen would fit in too well with the Animated cast.

My bet’s a Universe figure, possibly a repaint. Armada Demolishor maybe? Cybertron tank Unicron?

Good call. I always thought of The Fallen as a herald of Unicron anyway. With the dark powers he had and all. Like a facsimile of the Chaos Bringer.

Tricky to say, it may be for the 25th anniversary line as well.

Both possible, and both would be cool, but I'm not so sure the Movie is ready for Unicron quite yet.

Can't be Megs from the recent TFM since he would have to be the Risen given the trench they dumped him in :grin:

I spoke with Alex Milne at BotCon about this, a little; IDW will be making another series that involves him, Vector Prime, & the rest of the original 13. His new design isn't as tankish, and will give him wings.

I assume I'll get the exact look once he finishes my commission of Fallen vs Vector Prime, but he said he needed to finish Reign of Starscream first.

over on TFW, JOHNDILLINGA, who is famous for having inside info, has tipped it off that this is a repaint of Armada Overload.

That could very well be true, as its been speculated already, but with the application just being submitted, we won't see a confirmation on this for a while. Nice find though, that seems like a good fit.

So long as they don't gay him up in Animated, I'd be happy to see what comes of this.

A voyager sized figure all covered in lightpipe fire, with a flat black worn finish, hell yeah!!!

Interesting. Being one of the few fans of that mold, it be awesome to see it in Black and orange lava highlights.

Although I would like them to retool his headmaster Rollout. Maybe turn him into something more destructive than a little truck thing.

Still I love the mold, and am so hoping this is actually true.

Also a retool of the head mold would be nice.

I unfortunately wasn’t able to get this mold, so that’s good news here.

One can only hope.

The Fallen in Animated? Interesting thought... Autobots aren't able to give a fight 5 against 1 decepticon, so it could be a big hit... casualties on both sides, then the autobots join forces with decepticons to fight him... there are so many possibilities in animated dammit.

Thu May 22, 2008 6:22 pm

I just wanna see this guy die.
I did not miss him at all after War Within, and I never will miss him.

You're not the only fan of this toy, brickformer technology at it's finest. I'm only missing the original Micron Legend Magnus and Sentinel Maximus, got the other four existing varients.

As far as the head goes, the Sentinel remould would suit the Fallen better than the Magnus head. I know that this was a Botcon exclusive, but that was back in the days of 3H. Anybody know what happens to the rights to a mould when a company loses their license? Any chance that they could revert back to Hasbro to reuse? Probably not viable anyway due to the 'short run mould' issue, but would still be cool.

Anyhow, the verion of the mould from the Magna Convoy set proves that this toy works well in clear plastics, I could see a Fallen version working well cast mainly in clear orange with black paintwork applied.
