Revenge of the Fallen film
Voice Actor: Tony Todd, Banjo Ginga (Japanese)

Thousands of years ago, Seven Primes landed on Earth. One of the Primes, later known as "The Fallen", defied an important rule: "Never destroy a planet with life" He ignored the value of life beside his. He tried to use the Solar Harvester, which has the power to destroy suns and create energon, on Earth. The Matrix of Leadership was needed to activate the machine, so the Primes took it and hid it inside a tomb made up of their own bodies so that The Fallen and his scouts would be unable to activate the machine.



A long time ago, Megatron came into contact with the Fallen, and he manipulated Megatron into forming the Decepticons, and commanded him to steal the All Spark.

"Only a Prime can defeat me, and now only one remains."

- The Fallen

In the present day, the Fallen commands Megatron to assault Earth once more and find the Matrix and the Solar Harvester, now buried underneath a pyramid in Egypt. The Decepticons lead a full-scale attack on Earth and take control. The Fallen sends out a broadcast to humanity ordering them to send to him Sam Witwicky, who knows the location of the Energon signal, or else he will destroy them.



Megatron and the Fallen order Devastator to destroy the pyramid surrounding the Solar Harvester, but he is destroyed by a shot from the rail gun of a nearby destroyer ship. Sam rescues Optimus, but the Fallen comes down to Earth and slices off a soldier's head with his scepter and stabs another soldier. Then, he steals the Matrix from Prime's body.



He warps over to the Solar Harvester and activates it, but as the countdown begins, Jetfire provides Optimus with his parts and spark, making him more powerful than before. Optimus flies up the pyramid and destroys the Harvester before engaging the Fallen in combat. The two fight and Optimus kills the Fallen by ripping off his face and tearing out and crushing his spark.

Revenge of the Fallen: The Game

 * Voice actor: James Arnold Taylor


 * He can teleport. He is never a character able to play as in any form of the game. He can throw objects at you, make beams of energy that damage you appear, lauch orange versions of Soundwave's secondary weapon at you, that only damage you, not slow. He can also summon drones.
 * The Fallen is unlockable in the PC version after beating him.

Toys

 * The Fallen (Voyager, 2009)
 * The Fallen is packaged in his robot mode. He turns into a Cybertronian Destroyer. Features include retractable "energy absorption" panels on his legs, arms, shoulders, and head. The toes are mounted on springs (like the first movie Megatron Voyager toy), and though this doesn't cause a problem on hard, flat surfaces, it can be a pain when trying to pose the figure on carpeting. The Fallen's quality control seems to vary wildly between figures; the elbows, knees, and ankles are prone to separating quite easily on some units.
