	When [[Primus]] created the [[Thirteen\|first Transformers]], he made a "Dark Warrior" who would be in touch with entropy and destruction. Known as '''Megatronus''' or '''Megatronus Prime''', he is the most powerful of the original [[Prime (rank)\|Primes]], who [[Expulsion of Unicron\|battled]] [[Unicron]] in the earliest days of [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]. When not using fiery mystic abilities, [[dark science]], or [[Void Scepter\|gravitational powers]], he wields the most dangerous of [[Artifacts of the Primes\|artifacts]]: the [[Requiem Blaster (~~Megatronus~~)\|Requiem Blaster]].

While his size, shape, and colors may vary between realities, his most common physical feature is his face, which often serves as the inspiration for a certain [[Decepticon\|faction]]'s [[insignia]] during the [[Great War (disambiguation)\|Great War]].

	Introduced in [[2003]], the Fallen debuted in [[Dreamwave Productions]]' comic, ''[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages\|War Within: The Dark Ages]]'' as a [[Herald of Unicron]]. A mysterious, fiery being from the Transformers' ancient past, he returned to Cybertron to enact the [[Unbinding]], a ritual that would alert Unicron to Primus's location. Wielding mystic, entropic abilities, he was defeated by his creator, trapping him within the [[Seal of Primus]]. A year later, ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'' established The Fallen as one of the mysterious "Thirteen Original Transformers" created by Primus to battle Unicron. According to the Guide, The Fallen betrayed his siblings by joining forces with Unicron, and the battle ended with The Fallen being sucked into a black hole until his escape, as seen in ''War Within: The Dark Ages''. A [[2007]] [[bio]] written for The Fallen's ''[[Titanium Series]]'' toy would reveal he was the overseer of entropy.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/titanium/the-fallen/1126/2/9/ Fallen's ''Titanium Series'' on-package bio]</ref>		Introduced in [[2003]], the Fallen debuted in [[Dreamwave Productions]]' comic, ''[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages\|War Within: The Dark Ages]]'' as a [[Herald of Unicron]].

	As the concept of the Thirteen slowly developed, [[2009]] would be a significant year for the character, becoming the titular main antagonist of the [[Live-action film series]]' second film, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]''. The film would establish the character's connection to Megatron, and use his Decepticon-insignia-looking face to establish him as the true creator of the Decepticons: "The First Decepticon". Despite his death in the film, Q&A sessions with [[Hasbro]] representatives at [[BotCon]]<ref>See [[Hasbro Q&A/July 2009: Answers\|Hasbro Q&A/July 2009: Answer #3]] for more information.</ref> established that The Fallen and his siblings were multiversal singularities: a single incarnation who existed across all realities, moving between them - ~~proving~~ a loophole for The Fallen to survive the events of the film.

	The novels of the [[Aligned continuity family]] significantly fleshed out the character's backstory, relationships, and weaponry. The [[2010]] novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus\|Exodus]]'' established his original name of Megatronus, further strengthening the character's connection to Megatron and the Decepticon cause. Its sequel, [[2011]]'s ''[[Transformers: Exiles\|Exiles]]'', re-introduced the Requiem Blaster as the personal artifact of Megatronus, not as the Mini-Con weapon of ''[[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)\|Armada]]''. The novel would reveal that the weapon's existence became a great point of contention among the Primes, and would be the weapon that killed [[Solus Prime]], who was introduced as his love interest. Two years later, ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus\|The Covenant of Primus]]'' provided an alternate, less-villainous interpretation of The Fallen's backstory, exploring his tense relationship with [[Prima]], the "Warrior of Light", and how the manipulations of the silver-tongued Liege Maximo led to an accidental death of Solus Prime in the [[War of the Primes]]. This less-villainous interpretation would largely be ignored when he made his proper television debut in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)\|Robots in Disguise]]'', which highlighted his role as the "First Decepticon".

A mysterious, fiery being from the Transformers' ancient past, he returned to Cybertron to enact the [[Unbinding]], a ritual that would alert Unicron to Primus's location.

A year later, ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', established The Fallen as one of the mysterious "Thirteen Original Transformers" Primus created to battle Unicron.

	As the concept of the Thirteen developed throughout the 2000s, a [[2007]] [[bio]] written for The Fallen's ''[[Titanium Series]]'' toy would ~~later~~ reveal he was the overseer of entropy. [[2009]] would be a significant year for the character, becoming the titular main antagonist of the [[Live-action film series]]' second film, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]''. The film would establish the character's connection to Megatron, and use his Decepticon-~~insigna~~-looking face to establish him as the true creator of the Decepticons: "The First Decepticon". Despite his death in the film, Q&A sessions with [[Hasbro]] representatives at [[BotCon]] established that The Fallen and his siblings were multiversal singularities: a single incarnation who existed across all realities, moving between them - proving a loophole for The Fallen to survive the events of the film.

	When [[Primus]] created the [[Thirteen\|first Transformers]], he ~~created~~ a "Dark Warrior" who would be in touch with entropy and destruction. Known as '''Megatronus''' or '''Megatronus Prime''', he is the most powerful of the original [[Prime (rank)\|Primes]], who [[Expulsion of Unicron\|battled]] [[Unicron]] in the earliest days of [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]. When not using fiery mystic abilities, [[dark science]], or [[Void Scepter\|gravitational powers]], he wields the most dangerous of [[Artifacts of the Primes\|artifacts]]: the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)\|Requiem Blaster]].

	Like many of his siblings, Megatronus was once a [[multiversal singularity]], but that is now [[Shroud\|no longer the case]]. While his size, shape, and colors may vary between realities, his most common physical feature is his face, which often serves as the inspiration for a certain [[Decepticon\|faction]]'s [[insignia]] during the [[Great War (disambiguation)\|Great War]].

	Unfortunately, his ~~affinity to darkness~~ often leads him down a ~~dark and/or~~ tragic path. In most realities, his original name is replaced by a more well-known title: '''The Fallen'''. Often manipulated by [[Liege Maximo\|other]] [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|members]] of the Thirteen, The Fallen is best known for becoming a [[Transformer\|Cybertronian]] analog to the biblical {{w\|Cain}}, committing Cybertron's first murder with the death of his [[Solus Prime\|beloved]]. In some realities, he willingly betrays the Thirteen by siding with Unicron, and becomes the "the first Decepticon", making him more akin to {{w\|Judas Iscariot\|Judas}}. Even in realities where he doesn't take a villainous turn, [[Megatron (One)\|his legacy]] inevitably is one of betrayal and death.

	Introduced in [[2003]], the Fallen debuted in [[Dreamwave Productions]]' comic, ''[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages\|War Within: The Dark Ages]]'' as a [[Herald of Unicron]]. A mysterious, fiery being from the Transformers' ancient past, he returned to Cybertron to enact the [[Unbinding]], a ritual that would alert Unicron to Primus's location. Wielding mystic, entropic abilities, he was defeated by his creator, trapping him within the [[Seal of Primus]]. A year later, ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', established The Fallen as one of the mysterious "Thirteen Original Transformers" Primus ~~created~~ to battle Unicron. The Fallen betrayed his siblings, and the battle ended with The Fallen being sucked into a black hole until his escape, as seen in ''War Within: The Dark Ages''.

According to the Guide, The Fallen betrayed his siblings by joining forces with Unicron, and the battle ended with The Fallen being sucked into a black hole until his escape, as seen in ''War Within: The Dark Ages''. A [[2007]] [[bio]] written for The Fallen's ''[[Titanium Series]]'' toy would reveal he was the overseer of entropy.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/titanium/the-fallen/1126/2/9/ Fallen's ''Titanium Series'' on-package bio]</ref>

	As the concept of the Thirteen developed ~~throughout the 2000s~~, ~~a [[2007]] [[bio]] written for The Fallen's ''[[Titanium Series]]'' toy would reveal he was the overseer of entropy.~~ [[2009]] would be a significant year for the character, becoming the titular main antagonist of the [[Live-action film series]]' second film, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]''. The film would establish the character's connection to Megatron, and use his Decepticon-insignia-looking face to establish him as the true creator of the Decepticons: "The First Decepticon". Despite his death in the film, Q&A sessions with [[Hasbro]] representatives at [[BotCon]] established that The Fallen and his siblings were multiversal singularities: a single incarnation who existed across all realities, moving between them - proving a loophole for The Fallen to survive the events of the film.

	The novels of the [[Aligned continuity family]] significantly fleshed out the character's backstory, relationships, and ~~arsenal of weapons~~. The [[2010]] novel ''[[Transformers: Exodus\|Exodus]]'' established his original name of Megatronus, further strengthening the character's connection to Megatron and the Decepticon cause. Its sequel, [[2011]]'s ''[[Transformers: Exiles\|Exiles]]'', re-introduced the Requiem Blaster as the personal artifact of Megatronus, not as the Mini-Con weapon of ''[[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)\|Armada]]''. The novel would reveal that the weapon's existence became a great point of contention among the Primes, and would be the weapon that killed [[Solus Prime]], who was introduced as his love interest. Two years later, ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus\|The Covenant of Primus]]'' provided an alternate, less-villainous interpretation of The Fallen's backstory, exploring his tense relationship with [[Prima]], the "Warrior of Light", and how the manipulations of the silver-tongued Liege Maximo led to an accidental death of Solus Prime in the [[War of the Primes]]. This less-villainous interpretation would largely be ignored when he made his proper television debut in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)\|Robots in Disguise]]'', which highlighted his role as the "First Decepticon".

	The Fallen was introduced to IDW Publishing's [[2005 IDW continuity\|long-running continuity]], being mentioned in [[The Crucible\|''Robots in Disguise'' #34]], and making visual appearances in [[Heavy\|''Till All Are One ''#9]], [[Origin Myths\|''Optimus Prime'' #10]], and [[The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named\|''Optimus Prime'' #18]], albeit in flashback sequences. By his visual debut, the concept of multiversal singularities had been nullified in the 2015 Collectors' Club comic storyline ''[[Another Light]]'', which allowed IDW to interpret the Thirteen as the warlords of [[Thirteen Tribes]], not demigods, without conflicting previous stories. Concurrently with IDW's continuity, the [[All Things Must Pass\|final episode]] of ''[[Transformers: Titans Return (cartoon)\|Titans Return]]'' introduced an amalgamated version of The Fallen - featuring his fiery abilities of the Dreamwave incarnation and the Egyptian-crown-like head and color scheme of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. ''[[Transformers: Power of the Primes (cartoon)\|Power of the Primes]]'' would adapt his backstory from ''The Covenant of Primus'', featuring the Requiem Blaster and Solus Prime prominently in flashbacks and the present-day story.

	For a few years, The Fallen was absent from ''Transformers'' media, save the rare cameo appearance in the [[2019 IDW continuity]] or mention in ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)\|Cyberverse]]'', until [[2024]] brought him back to prominence with the ''[[Transformers One (film)\|Transformers One]]'' film. The film established Megatronus Prime as the strongest and most powerful of the Primes, whose facial design was virtually identical to the Decepticon insignia, including its purple color. Unlike previous incarnations, this Megatronus remained heroic until his death, having never betrayed or murdered his fellow Primes. Later that year, the ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes\|Age of the Primes]]'' toyline would be revealed, introducing "Megatronus - The Fallen" as a Leader Class toy inspired primarily by his appearance in ''War Within: The Dark Ages''.
