Description:
The Fallen (Leader Class, 2022)
Movie: Revenge of the Fallen
Hasbro ID number: 91
TakaraTomy ID number: SS-100
Accessories: Removable face, two-part staff, "Pyramid Desert Battle” backdrop (1st version)
Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy)
Released in the tenth wave of Studio Series Leader Class figures, the long-anticipated The Fallen is a highly screen-accurate version of the character that transforms into a "Cybertronian spacecraft” in 17 steps. Like Shockwave from the same line, much of his budget is spent making the robot mode look as accurate as possible. The Fallen is constructed largely of dark translucent plastics, with silver and ’burning’ orange highlights, as well as metallic blue paint applications are indeed accurate to ILM’s CGI model. The Fallen also features a movie-accurate pair of ’secondary forearms’ connecting his waist to his elbows, which include multiple swivel and ball joints to make sure his articulation remains as unhindered as possible despite the highly unconventional design. However, they can be detached from their ball joints to free up their shoulders if they do get in the way... sometimes too easily.
The Fallen comes with his staff, which can split into two pieces, allowing for display as two hand-held weapons or even to recreate the scene where Optimus Prime snaps it in two to rip off The Fallen’s face! Unfortunately, the staff is larger than the usual 5 mm, meaning only the Fallen can hold it properly. However, it does have two 5 mm posts, one at each end, allowing for some use with other figures. The posts are meant for attaching the staff halves onto his spacecraft mode.
The Fallen’s pharaoh-esque mask (hilariously, packaged separately) is removable, revealing his hideous (and movie-accurate) skull underneath. This unmasked face features an articulated jaw, presumably to recreate the scene where he screams in agony as Optimus rips his spark out. Both his head and mask feature separate light-piping effects.
The Fallen’s alternate mode is partially based on the alternate mode created for the 2009 Revenge of the Fallen toyline, but modified to skew closer to the style of the other Cybertronian jet designs seen within the live-action films.
Like most Studio Series figures, the Fallen features a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it depicts the site of his final battle against Optimus in Egypt.
The Fallen had the honor of being released as SS-100 in Japan. To celebrate, TakaraTomy held a giveaway via Twitter for 100 lucky winners to receive this figure.
