The Fallen (multiversal singularity)


 * The Fallen is a Transformer in the Generation 1 continuity family.

At the dawn of time, Primus created new life, the 13 original Transformers, to crew his planetary form into battle against his eternal nemesis Unicron. One of these 13 would turn against his siblings, his creator, and his universe, and betray them all.

His original name now lost to the mists of time, the betrayer turned against Primus and became the Fallen. He is a being of power, darkness, fire and absolute dedication to his new master, Unicron. At the end of the first battle between the two Gods, for his treachery, the Fallen was sealed into extradimensional limbo along with the Dark God he now served.

He is on fire.

The War Within: The Dark Ages
Approximately 7 million years ago, while Optimus Prime and Megatron were presumed missing in a space bridge accident, the Fallen returned to Cybertron. He was intent on initiating "The Unbinding," which would break the Seal of Primus and herald the Second Coming of Unicron.

To accomplish this task, he recruited a trio of Decepticon outcasts, Bludgeon, Mindwipe, and Bugly, who hungered for a command of the occult, which the Fallen could grant. As per the Fallen's instructions, the recruits were to round up four Transformers with "unique Sparks," Hot Spot, Jetfire, Blitzwing, and Grimlock. When the recruits faltered, the Fallen stepped in, singlehandledly abducting Blitzwing from his well-guarded holding cell and besting the powerhouse Grimlock.

The four, dubbed enigmatically the "Angles of Dissolution," awakened strapped to a four-paneled apparatus deep within the core of Cybertron, the Well of All Sparks. Though a combined army of forces from several factions penetrated the Fallen's operation, his defeat came only when Primus was roused from his slumber and condemned his wayward creation to an explosive demise.
