Well, how can I possibly stand up to that rock-solid argument?

You have truly slaughtered me with your words, sir.

(Seriously though, we already have two bad-ass soliders and a yellow-and-black lamp. We don't need a third one.)

 

That´s a very nice attempt at sarcasm good sir. Truly great.

As for Jack. We can´t have enough badass soldiers.

 

Actualy I would prefer if Dreadwing was based on that deluxe movie toy he had.

He was a non-movie, sure, but he had ENGINE ARMS! I loved that dude.

 

That's why it hurts man, The Fallen WAS cool, he did cool things, he spoke cool things, he LOOKED cool, but when it came to the hand to hand, he got the short end of the deal.

Which is why I hope he pops up in TF Prime and gets to kick some CGI ass.

 

Exactly.

 

Agreed! I really liked the portrail(sp?) of the Fallen in the movie. He seemed like an actual threat (and a great role model to Megatron wannabes  ) so it kinda sucked the way he died, which is why I concluded the reason into three options:

1) The Fallen was just too exausted from sitting around in the Nemisis for too long that he resorted to long range attacks.
2) Optimus was just too pissed for the Fallen to react properly
3) The writers ran out of things to do and rushed the poor Fallen's death.

The Fallen could turn up in Prime seeking revenge against Optimus for killing him in ROTF! If they're working with the idea of him as a multiversal singularity, he could remember Optimus killing him so brutally in the movie universe.

And speaking of multiversal singularities, if Optimus is a Prime descendent, what does that mean for him?

 

...so why were you disagreeing with me then?

That's a terrible idea: the show's got detachment issues as it is without drowning in cosmic multi-verse crap.

 

All that I'm saying is that The Fallen WAS a cool character.
I agree he got his ass handled back to hm pretty quickly and his face taken, but that doesn't deletes his previous coolness [yes, it diminished, but there is still EPICNESS in him].

Then put The Fallen there, but not outright mentioning ROTF, but throwing dialogues like this:

"Optimus Prime!"

"Do I know you?"

"We have met before...on other ages, other worlds, other universes..."

And stuff like that.

 

That sounds like what the Fallen would say. But what would this Megatron say to him?

If this show is really connected to Exodus, Megatron would go

OH MY GOOOOOOOSH! MEGATRONUS! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAAAN! *squeee*

 

Megatron might go "You're going down" out of the nowhere, but I personally think he would pull out something like "It is such a honor to meet the mightiest of the Primes in energon and metal, Our alliance shall be remembered through the ages!"

Most of the multiverse Megatron's wouldn't say that [G1, mainly], but Prime-verse Megatrons seems much more easy and prone amiration [as he admires Optimus and also has some admiration for Dark Energon], even sounding humble sometimes [On Out of His Head: "My greatest mistake? I made a few. But there is one I do not intend to make again!"].

Besides, In this universe, Megatron took his name from The Fallen himself as a symbol of power and might, he seems to admire the guy.

There's also this:

And this:

 

Yeah, I can see that... and the response...

  fair point.   Would pay to see that outside of fanfiction.

The Fallen done movie-style in TFPrime would be cool. As said, he was a cool guy in the movie, but he didn't do anything super-amazing when it came to fights. He could teleport, move several objects with telekenisis at once and was pretty big, and his best fighting move? Run towards Prime waving his staff.

 

Well The Fallen WAS pretty old, waving his cane at hatchlings usually worked at the crashed ship.

 

There is the theory that the Primes [and their descendants] were immune to his badass powers [thus, he couldn't just shout "Mumbo Jumbo" and send Optimus flying into orbit], and for such he feared them.

But if he ever appear on TFPrime, I would like to see him as some kind of Dark Energon Master, that guys that creates shards of Dark Energon without breaking a sweet, that guy that glows purple, that guy that can poisons everyone around due the sheer amount of Dark Energon flowing through his veins.

It would be fitting, as Dark Energon is the blood of Unicron [and The Fallen is pretty much Unicron's Heir].

 

The Dark Energon master thing would be cool except for the glowing purple. The Fallen glowing purple would be pretty lame. He'd look less "buring inside/organically lit" and more like a standard Decepticon like Soundwave.

Also your theory about Prime's being immune to his powers is cool, but it doesn't explain why he didn't teleport or throw object at Prime in the final like he did not five minutes before. But apparently the final battle was so rushed out the door they didn't have time for much outside of "Prime beats them up."

 

But...glowing purple is a trait of Dark-Energon Poisoned people [Megatron's entire face was like that in Darkness Rising].

Maybe he was so close to his millenia-awaited victory that he went a bit nuts and thought "YOU CANNOT STOP ME NOW, PRRRIIIME!" instead of actually thinking in doing what you suggested.
