The fallen's face

i hate to say it, but this is so far the best bit of official information about rotf we've gotten so far in terms of what the fallen may be

Although I've not done a side-by-side, the general layout upon quick inspection looks to me like Devestator TF1 head - not colors, just eye angle and spacing. It would make sense to me that if Devestator is in TF2, that it would have the G1 name of Devestator. As that was an on-screen name already, The TF1 bot would need to come back, beit in a rebuilt or newly created manner. If this were true, then perhaps, perhaps this was teased by Lennox saying 'that thing's definitely dead now', and he wasn't - they couldn't keep him down. Perhaps Barricade held specific skills for creating combining bots, and collected parts of Bonecrusher and Devestator, with the plan of making a bigger bot later. I just enjoy flights of fancy - I didn't get much sleep last night.

Funny, wasn't even paying that much attention to the inside of the box until your post..like the cyberglyphs!

Okay, got me, I missed that one!

My money is either on a faceplate of some kind or a set of double doors to some ancient cybertronian chamber.

its not doors, its exactly what the decepticon eyes looked like in the first film, take a look at a close up of barricade or brawl. it's definitely not brawl though, here's a side by side, no match -

That's an interesting thought. Like maybe some doors under Egypt the imprison the Fallen.

Orci has denied that BC and Brawl will appear.

Nah, back in July Furman/IDW confirmed the Fallen was the villain and that he was based upon the Fallen seen in The War Within: The Dark Ages.

Both interviews were soon edited to remove all references to the Fallen.

I think we can say with 95% sureness or more that those eyes are those of The Fallen.

For people saying it could just be nothing...c'mon?! Yeah it's the centerpiece of the ROTF packaging and the background on the prequel comic but means nothing at all...
