I'm guessing that the fallen is an entity that was trapped inside the allspark,and since megatron absorbed it, the fallen has now possesed megs body, reformatting it to his own image. In the end of the movie, the fallen is defeated and megatron regains control of his body.

 

Don't laugh. That's pretty much how they describe it in Ghosts of Yesterday.

A perfectly reasonable theory.
I like it.

 

Indeed. And I vaguely remember something from the UK movie comic (might've been a profile) where it was suggested that Megatron wanted all TF to develop the abilty to reformat to whatever form they could imagine intead of being tied to having to scan things, and it was originally one of the reasons why he wanted to take control of the Allspark, to experiment. Maybe this tank's origin is sorta along the same lines.

 

I dunno, seeing that overhead schematic, he sort of looks like his toy could end up being a 'fold-former', aka stupidly overly basic folding out of legs and down of body. Hope that doesn't end up being the case.

I think something like that's possible. That's what I've been saying...are we really sure the Fallen and Megs are totally different robots.

 

You know, that's kind of... awesome.

 

Performance wheels!

 

That's the toy concept, right? (the two new pics)

Still, I can't wait to see teh actual toy of this. I hope it's like with movie one where we get more than one toy of each character, then I can choose which is best and get it.

 

I'd appreciate all the leaked images a whole lot more without all the craptastic WATERMARKS.

 

For me right now those craptastic watermarks are the signal that the images are real and not fake or reused stuff form the first movie.

 

Sense Optimus Leader was clearly the focus of the first movies Leaders, I hope this tim Megs is, then I can finaly stand a Megatron up to my Leader Prime and not be thinking, god you turn into a piece of shit Megatron. If this Megatron is done right then this will probably be my favourite Megatron toy ever made. Im glad hes not taking on earth forms, it gives him more of the characterization of a evil leader, that hates humans and therfore will not lower himself to our craptastic technology.

 

yea we toetaly steenk

 

Compared to cybertronian tech we do, JERK! Really its people like you who make these jerky, kink ass coments that start shit. Do you get some kind of high of being a laptop gangster?

 

transtech lord megatron...wish to see the real finish work of megatron!

 

I hope "The Fallen" Is the Ice Cream truck ROFL! I woish they would release the list of chracters and their altmodes like they did in the first one, but they probably wont be doing that till next year. Hope we see some Soundwave concepts soon. SPOILERS if soundwave brings Megatron back to life, throught what is rummored, mabey soundwave also has a vehichle database or somthing from cybertron ad lets megatron scan the most destructive cybertronian vehichle? Gah I dunno, ill just have to see the movie.

 

In the words of Mr. Bay- 

 

I haven't read the entire thread, but isn't it possible that this Megatron design is intended for some sort of back-story sequence set on Cybertron?

Such a thing was hinted at in a recent interview, but they were very cagey about revealing details:

I find the various Megatron = The Fallen theories quite plausible and interesting, but this may be something else to consider until more is revealed.

I think it's very likely that there will be some scenes on Cybertron, there's only so much mythology you can cover with scrolling text and narration.

 

Me too. It'd make sense, even though this incarnation of Megatron holds humans in contempt, to take an earthern form since he is vastly outnumbered and outgunned (he got smashed by the F-22s) on this planet by both the Autobots and humans.

 

  Nice!! Thanx for the pics. Finally some good news. That Megatron form rocks!!   I cant wait to buy him.

 

Well that's not really saying much.
But the more I look at the tank mode. The more I am liking it.
I'm just hoping that this belongs to The Fallen, and not Megs.
I think I am one one of the few who believes that Megatron should remain dead. After all he was KILLED OFF already.

 

Looks like something a Predator might drive to hunt dinosaurs, really, really big dinosaurs.

Regardless it looks miles better then the jet from last time and I might even buy this one.
