First Look At The Fallen

TFNet08.com has released the images of The Fallen toy. The images include the instruction book showing that the alt mode for the character will be a Cybertronian jet (bit of theme with that). This finally confirms that the title of the movie, Revenge of the Fallen, is referring to a literal character and is not a metaphor for the return of Megatron. As the first photo shows, the head matches exactly the enhanced poster image so now that little mystery is cleared up. Also I do believe that it is this character that is gave Optimus Prime that devastating blow to the head in the trailer. It is pretty clear that part of the film story is there is tie to the Transformers race and humanity via ancient Egypt and the pyramids (where The Fallen is probably found). I do believe that all the red plastic represent flames, probably a nod to the comic version that helped inspire the movie character. Thanks to all the site readers (cypherXR was first) for sending in the link and pictures.


Below is a comparison of the poster and The Fallen's face side by side. Obviously the toy doesn't have the same detail but it’s clearly the same face. The next image is point out a few similarities that help prove that the Fallen was in the Superbowl trailer. Notice the similarities in the symbol on the toy and the leg. Also the red plastic probably means hot or flames which is similar to the two hot spots on the knee that hits Prime in the head. Not conclusive but it strikes me as something Bay would do, sneak in the Fallen without actually showing him off.
