    G4 is reporting that the main villain of the next movie will be:

    The Fallen

    This was reported a while ago, back in July.

    I just hope that Michael Bay stays away from this character as it is a very complex and something that the first movie didn't touch on. I just hope Bay and IDW is just leaking out false info...

    Not surprised. I read somewhere that was the subtitle.

    As long as it is as good as the first Transformers movie I will be happy.

    Who is this character, and why is it a big deal if it's in the sequel? :confused:

    As he was portrayed in the comics, this is "The Fallen": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_(Transformers)

    I personally don't understand the problem with him being in it. He's a Transformer, he's evil and he has ties to the mystic beginnings of the Transformers. Seems like an ideal character for the movie.

    Also, just because he's called "The Fallen", his identity could be different altogether. Most of the movie characters were "reimagined", I suspect "Fallen" will be too.

    Okay, after reading about him on Wikipedia, I don't get why he would be a bad idea for a villain? Just given the little bit of info, he seems to be the quasi-equivalent of the Transformers version of Satan.

    I'm trying to care about this news. I'm really trying.

    Because he's complex character.

    You would have to deal with Unicron and Primus.

    Because how do you keep the Fallen a very powerful character and yet not have very many characters on screen?

    I am tired of all these re-imaging of characters. Blech.

    I don't get why they picked the Fallen. A character that's only been seen in the Comics. Seems like a strange move.

    What's your problem? The first film was great. But then I'm not a thirty-something man obsessing over whether the depiction of a bunch of frigging kiddie toys is completely accurate or not. I'm expectimng to enjoy GI Joe for much the same reason.

    That's not Devastator. That was Brawl with the wrong subtitle. The Constructicon combo Devastator is going to be in the next movie.

    Oh come off it - the hate for Transformers is getting a bit old now. It wasn't a great movie, but it was a lot of fun if you like that sort of thing - which plenty of people do - even people who also like more intelligent, better movies. I'd be happy enough if the sequel is as good (I'd rather it were better, but with Michael Bay involved I doubt it will be).

    The Fallen is an odd choice, because he wasn't really explained in his single comic appearance - and that continuity got canned when Dreamwave Productions went under. However, if they intend to link him to Unicron, which is entirely possible, then if there's some kind of trilogy planned, perhaps this film will show the first hints of Unicron, via The Fallen, who will then appear in the next one.

    No, it was Devastator. They made it perfectly clear that was Devastator. Wrong subtitle or not, it was.
