- Falcon is a Decepticon Predator from the Generation 1 continuity family.
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
Fiction
Toy catalogue comic
Falcon was for some reason under the command of Skydive during their attack on the Autobot Turbomaster base. He didn't seem to mind, though, and rained death on his Autobot targets.
Toys
Generation 1
- Falcon (Small 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.
- Falcon's box art was recolored and used for the Machine Wars versions of Megatron and Megaplex.
