I'm in need of some help to decide something.

With MakeToys' Paladin/Chaos arriving soon, I have finally decided to go for one of the other incarnations of The Fallen, as comparison and because yes, really.

Now, I am undecided as to which one to get.

I have almost definitely ruled out the Titanium version, which only really leaves me with the RotF/HftD versions - any recommendations?

These two look like the best bets, from what I've seen.

Thanks!

Go with the blue version of the ROTF mold.
You know why? The mold itself is pretty damn cool, and while the original deco looks better and closer to the movie, the blue one has the movie accurate staff oh and HIS FACE COMES OFF!
That's all you need to know, you can take of his face and that's all that really matters. :michaelbay:

Yup, best Movie toy ever, all you need now is the NEST Voyager Optimus Prime and make him wear that face!

I believed it's this one. The smaller scale of the ROTF leader class and probably the best movie voyager class Prime.

I actually hate that mold myself - and the blue version just makes it even more of a Cybertronian Bionicle.

That's HftD Battle Blades though, not N.E.S.T.. :-?

I do love him though, he's my movieverse Prime, and proudly so. It's an excellent toy!

Oh, HFTD, at least I got the movie part right! :lol:

Oh god, I've become what I hate :sad:

I second the retooled version with the staff. Even if the colors are off, the new features are amazing. :grin:

The blueberry flavored Fallen's got my vote. Nothing a can of olive drab paint and some bright orange acrylics can't fix.

Especially since you can RIP OFF HIS FACE! :lol:

It's literally the most amusing "feature" ever.

Eat pie untill you love yourself again.

Also, HftD Prime sucks monkeygroin. Sure he looks good, but I never once got him back in vehicle mode. The robot mode wasn't all to keen on staying together as well. I sold him. Good riddance.

Nooo!

He's perfectly fine, you just had a bad one. Trust me. He's lovely.

Back to The Fallen.

My son has the blue one (I didn't buy for him, his grandpa did). I like the size, pretty decent. Hands are badly designed and now it's very hard to hold his staff. Also don't really like the spring toes. The face gimmick becomes very loose now. Every light touch his face will fall off. #-o

I always just take it off during transformation and then put back on.

If you're already getting MakeToys Mobine, there's no need to get the Titanium Series Fallen. It's short, its back kibble doesn't stay up very well, and it doesn't have sculpted hands, just blocks with tiny holes that nothing can peg into.

My recommendation would be the slightly darker Gathering at Nemesis Fallen, though he doesn't have the face gimmick.
