The Fallen/toys
From MediaWiki
By going from obscure comic book dude to the arch-villain of a blockbuster movie, The Fallen wound up with more than a few toys.
Toys
Titanium Series
- Fallen (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
- Accessories: Display stand
- Instead of being based on his comic appearance, the Fallen toy is loosely based on Don Figueroa's design for pre-Earth Megatron as seen in Infiltration and Stormbringer, though obviously with The Fallen's head and deco. He transforms into a Cybertronic tank. Sadly his tank form doesn't hold together well, nor does he have actual hands, just blocks with holes in them. His side-mounted cannons can peg into his forearms in robot mode, or be held in his fists. He wears a faction symbol of his own effigy. The Fallen is, by a fraction of an inch, the tallest (and the bulkiest) of the 6" Titanium Series figures.
Revenge of the Fallen
Legends Class toys
- The Fallen (Legends, 2009)
- Part of wave 3 of the Revenge of the Fallen Legends Class toys, The Fallen transforms from robot mode to a Cybertronian Destroyer. For whatever peculiar reason, his legs are sculpted backwards, with the front (kneecaps and all) being on the back and vice versa. This is not a factory assembly error, however, as swapping the legs makes him impossible to transform, so it can only be chalked up to miscommunication somewhere along the line. As with all wave three Legends figures, the photo on the back of the figure's packaging shows a mistransformed robot mode, where the vehicle nosecone is not folded up against his back.
- Soundwave / EZ Collection The Fallen (2009)
- Available exclusively at the Lawson's convenience store in Japan (and the only way to obtain this figure via TakaraTomy), this version of Legends class The Fallen is the same as the Hasbro release, despite earlier pictures showing different paint operations. The Deluxe-class Preview Soundwave it comes with is unchanged from the regular release.
Voyager Class toys
- The Fallen (Voyager, 2009)
- Japanese ID number: RD-10
- Part of wave two of Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Class figures, The Fallen transforms from a robot into a "Cybertronian Destroyer" mode. The robot mode features several "slide-out energy absorption panels" on his head and arms which can either be deployed or hidden. In addition to that Mech Alive feature, his feet are spring-actioned so that when the toy is not standing on a surface (in other words, in jet mode), the toes ball up together. Setting the robot back down on a flat surface will splay the toes open again.
- There are rubbery connectors that attach his arms to his torso that increase accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action film, but this restricts his arm movement severely.
- There are at least two features to the toy not addressed on his instructions: first, the panels over the robot's forearms, which can be moved forward to cover the hands in vehicle mode; secondly, curved spikes which are normally in line with the upper legs can be rotated to point forward.
- Gathering at Nemesis (Toys "R" Us-exclusive box set, 2009)
- This version of The Fallen comes with a silver Voyager Class Megatron from the first movie toyline. Soundwave was redecoed predominantly in blue as an homage to the original Soundwave. The Fallen has no color differences compared to the original release.
- The Fallen (Voyager, 2009)
- A Target-exclusive redeco of The Fallen in black and orange (with translucent red) was released just before Thanksgiving weekend 2009 along with two other Target-exclusive Transformers sets. The fire-like deco likely homages The Fallen's beginnings as a creature perpetually aflame. He was packaged in a clear hexagonal package in robot mode, and his original Voyager Class packaging bio was used again, unaltered.
- The Fallen Blazing Edition (2010 Tokyo Winter wonder Festival exclusive)
- This version is very close to the Target-exclusive redeco, but with translucent plastic instead of opaque.
Robot Replicas
- The Fallen (Robot Replica, 2009)
- This nonconvertible figurine of The Fallen boasts several points of articulation, a faithful replication of the robot mode, and little else. Like the Voyager Class toy, the forearms can be attached to the struts leading from his torso (here via a tiny balljoint), severely restricting his arm poseability, but increasing accuracy to his film design.
- Because he doesn't have an alt. mode in the film, this technically makes him an almost-perfect replica of his CGI appearance.
Transformers (2010)
- The Victory of The Fallen (K-mart exclusive multi-pack, 2010)
- An orange and black redeco of his Legends Class toy, Transformers: Hunt for the Decepticons The Fallen is part of a Kmart-exclusive Legends 5-pack that includes redecoes of Legends Class The Fallen, Megatron, Optimus Prime, Jetfire, and Starscream.
- The set included a "Most-Wanted Decepticons" collectors card that featured The Fallen. It provided a code to enter into the "Hunt for the Decepticons" website to reveal the end of the story set up on the back of the package. Surprise, it's just the live-action film's ending, with no victory for The Fallen whatsoever. There is no truth in advertising!
- The Fallen (Voyager, 2010)
- Accessories: Staff
- The Fallen is a blue and teal redeco and retool of Voyager Class Revenge of the Fallen The Fallen, with new (and more movie-accurate) hands and head. The new face is removable, revealing a skull beneath, allowing for "give me your face" reenactment possibilities. The new head also has a much greater range of motion compared to the original. Due to the head retooling, he no longer features the deployable "energy absorption panels" behind his head as seen in previous Voyager Fallen figures. He is also the first toy of The Fallen to come with the "Command Staff" he wielded in the film, which necessitated the hand remolds so he could hold it. The staff folds in half and pegs underneath the toy in vehicle mode.
Robots in Disguise (2015)
Virtually every Robots in Disguise (2015) toy in this list has a scannable insignia sticker on it. For Hasbro releases, it temporarily unlocks that toy as a playable character in the Robots in Disguise mobile game, and can only be scanned once per day. TakaraTomy releases simply check that off on their mobile app's collection list. It's honestly quicker and less redundant to say which toys don't have this feature.
- Optimus Prime VS Megatronus (Clash of the Transformers 2-pack, 2015)
- Accessories: Fusion Cannon
- Packaged with Optimus Prime, this Megatronus is a Legion-sized mold which can transform from a tank to robot and back. His Fusion Cannon can be mounted on his vehicle mode, his robot mode arms, and can be wielded like a rifle via 3mm hand posts.
- His scannable Decepticon insignia is on his robot mode right shoulder. Stock photos of the figure did not feature the badge.
- The "Clash of the Transformers" 2-packs are only available as Toys"R"Us exclusives. So far he's the only Legion Class figure not to get an individual release.
- Megatronus (Clash of the Transformers, 2015)
- Accessories: Spear
- This all new Deluxe-sized Megatronus is the fourth figure in the Clash of the Transformers line. He comes with a spear, which can be combined in his alt mode tank cannon. He is missing the purple highlights he has in the show, as well as in the strangely more accurate Legion Class version from the same line. Unfortunately, due to the arm's transformation, Megatronus' turret can not turn in alt mode. He also features a scanbadge on his chest, accessible when in-package.
- Unlike all other Clash of the Transformers figures (which were available as Toys"R"Us exclusives all around the world), Warrior Class Megatronus was only ever available at Toys"R"Us stores in the United States for reasons unknown.
- Megatronus (Warrior Class, 2016)
- This Megatronus figure is a redeco and retool of the Warrior Class figure above, sporting a maskless head. Like the toy above, he features a scanbadge on his chest.
- The Adventure Series release of Megatronus features some paint applications to resemble his appearances in the cartoon.
- Megatronus (Mega 5-Step Changer, 2015)
- Accessories: Spark Merger, Cannon
- 5-Step Changer Megatronus transforms from robot to tank and back in just 5 easy steps! The toy's arms feature a transformation similar to Automorph technology, triggered by turning the tank turret and folding the torso up. (You need to transform the legs right after you pull up and turn the tank cannon first.) Due to the gimmick, he has articulation limited to his arms. Megatronus features 5mm posts on his hand, his shoulders, and 3 on his tank turret body. Mega 5-Step Megatronus was released in an open package which allowed children to touch the toy.
- His scannable Decepticon insignia is on his robot mode chest/vehicle mode front. Awkwardly, Megatronus' scan-badges features different patterns depending on the individual toy, and due to the latest update of the mobile game, scanning the differently-patterned badges only gives a random power-up item (Stomp). Because of this, unlocking Megatronus is completely useless until the mobile game's 2016 July update.
- Take extreme care of the transformation: the Automorph-style gears are somewhat prone to breakage if not properly transformed.
- Mega 5-Step Megatronus has thus far only been available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive and later at the TJMaxx/Ross stores.
- The TakaraTomy release of the toy (as part of the Easy Dynamic Series) features a different scannable badge, which is compatible with the Transformers Chronicle app.
- Team Bumblebee VS Megatronus set (EZ Collection 4-pack, 2015)
- Japanese ID Number: TAV34
- Accessories: Fusion Cannon
- This version of Megatronus is a redeco of the original Legion Class Megatronus toy, featuring plastic color changes, and additional paint details. He was released as a four-pack along with Strongarm, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee.
- Unlike the Hasbro release, the toy features no scan-badges on the toy, instead it was printed on one small card, along with the other 3 badges.
