The Fallen is one of the overarching antagonists of the original Transformers film series, specifically being the unseen overarching antagonist of the 2007 live-action film Transformers and the titular main antagonist of the 2009 sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Originally one of the original Primes, the Fallen went rogue when he gave into his greedy ambitions for power, but was thwarted by his brothers and imprisoned for his actions. He later founded the Decepticons through manipulation, becoming the master of Megatron. With a new army of his to command, he seeks to obtain power and rule the universe by harvesting the energy of stars, wiping out all life on many worlds in the process.
Actions and Characteristics[]
- With the exception of the barely focused Unicron and the Creators, the Fallen is the most ancient force of evil in the series due to being one of the original Primes.
- Due to him being one of the original Primes, the Fallen is the only antagonist in the series to actually display supernatural powers such as telekinesis.
- As his reputation of the first Decepticon, the Fallen is the true founder of the Decepticons by being the one who corrupted Megatron by preying on his lust for power, with his very face serving as the basis of the Decepticons' logo.
- Is the true leader over the Decepticons, having power to command even Megatron himself and everyone else while his overall existence is a secrret kept with only the Decepticons.
- His very influence is what bred the genocidal ambitions the Decepticons frequently have, and as the factions' true founder, all the innumerable amount of warcrimes that claimed countless lives across the galaxy to the very desolation of Cybertron to a barren wasteland and multiple attempts for a genocidal takeover of Earth all tie back to the Fallen's feet, especially since he was the true leader for a huge chunk of the war until his death.
- Sought to use the Star Harvester to absorb the Sun and wipe out all life on Earth before using it for multiple other planets to establish his supremacy over the universe, and as a result, is the most heinous villain in the series on the basis of scale.
- Even after his death, he still haunts the series as his actions of founding the Decepticons and being the mentor of Megatron would make him partially responsible for molding him into the monsters he is today by the present and his horrible crimes being the reason why Sentinel Prime has become the bloodthirsty and egotistical traitor he is today. Sentinel Prime's actions would leave an impact on the series by being the reason why Harold Attinger founded Cementry Wind to wipe out all Cybertronians in the first place and as well as increasing the conflict between humanity and the Autobots, until they decided to put their differences aside and form an alliance to prevent Quintessa from destroying humanity and Earth to remake Cybertron in her own image.
