The name or term "Falcon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Falcon (disambiguation).
Falcon is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Have you seen me?

This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.

Falcon is arguably the leader of the Predators. He's really really evil. So evil you don't even know, dude. His hatred of the Turbomasters is what drives him to such depths.

He's evil.


French-Canadian name: Faucon


Toys

Generation 1

  • Falcon (Predator, 1992)
    • Accessories: Missile launcher, 3 missiles
Falcon transforms into a Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk stealth jet. Like all Predators, he comes with a "generic" gold-plastic spring-loaded missile launcher and three small missiles (that would so not pass US choke tests). The underside of his plane mode has the Megavisor gimmick, that, when attached to the larger Predators Skyquake or Stalker, pushes down a "targeting" slide visible through the larger Transformer's viewfinder.
This mold was also available, without changes, in Japan as the character Shadow Jet.


Trivia

  • Falcon's leadership of the Predators is questionable. Both he and Skyquake have tech spec Ranks of 10, but Falcon is the one with "Leader" as a Function... but "Skyquake" has "Air Commandant", and the Predators only have one ground vehicle among them. Hm. The European line at the time was pretty liberal in handing out high ranks and "Leader" Functions, so who knows.
