The Fallen

* Post fall
* Pre-fallen

If the first Transformers were Primus's disciples, then **The Fallen** is his Judas. At the dawn of time, he was **Gigatronus**, one of a brotherhood of vastly powerful beings dedicated to the well-being of their world. But The Fallen would gain his current moniker by turning against his brother Primes and his purpose to pursue his own ends, also earning the moniker "the first Decepticon" in the process. His frightening form is a metal cage for primal, burning forces of chaos, giving him the appearance of a living furnace. These cauldron-like forces purged him of what empathy and morality remained; all that remains now is hatred and purest rage.

The Fallen is immensely powerful. He commands mystic, entropic arts, and when at full strength he can un-make creation at his focused will. He is rarely defeated; at best he is contained, where he waits with eternal patience for the chance to unleash his dark powers once again. Though he has at times been imprisoned between dimensions, this rarely lasts. When his power is at its height, The Fallen can open space bridges and travel between dimensions and realities at will.

## History

When Primus and Unicron first battled as planets, Primus created the first 13 Transformers to assist him in planet mode. The Fallen's original purpose as one of the 13 was to oversee entropy, the orderly dissolution of all things in preparation for the next creation.

He was eventually imprisoned in another dimension where he remained, but he escaped into the world of Menonia

He became known as the Demon King or Mara-Al-Utha.

embittered by this defeat at the hands of a swore revenge on the Golden One and people with the ability to use magic.

He spies a human called the Hero in a world of fantasy universe through a piece of scrap metal and seeing his desire for power, the Fallen contacts him.

Throughout the years he gathered research and resources

Through his machinations with the Archbishop and the Hero, thousands of witches were cruelly executed, and their magic was used as stored to power the machine too.

He had his human agents capture and bring Megatron before him. He promised Megatron the Matrix if he pledged his loyalty to which he agreed.

to return to reality to destroy Cybertron in retaliation for his humiliation and imprisonment.

Megatron reveals that Optimus Prime had already anticipated this treachery and gave him the Matrix so that the Fallen was in shock to this realization and Megatron escapes to join forces with the Autobots leaving the Fallen in shock.

The Sorcerer King uses his powers on Megatron while Salia uses her powers on Optimus Prime to give them an advantage. The machine drains the world of its magic and life, making it desolate and leaving the life on it to starve.

While the machine was destroyed it was dangerous with all the magic that stored within could destroy all of the remaining life in Menonia, forcing Optimus to sacrifice his life to save.

The Fallen showed up at the memorial and ordered the Autobots and their allies including the Decepticons executed. Before this could be done, Optimus Prime turned up. Enraged, the Fallen commanded Optimus to join his brothers in death and the two engaged in a fierce duel, but it quickly became apparent that Optimus was strong enough to face The Fallen. Megatron intervenes saving Optimus.

At the last moment, the Fallen was able to affect his own escape, leaping into Morden's mind along with him due to the magic connection between them. He began to reinitiate a new plan; restoring the old body from when he was Gigatronus Prime, then destroying this world and Cybertron in revenge for defeats and humiliation.

Despite his pleas for her mercy, she rebuked him and dragged him into the Well, finally killing him.

## Personality

Formerly Idealistic,

Malevolent, intelligent, power-hungry,

Gigatronus had shown that he enjoys lying to others and using said others as pawns for his own personal gain,

He murdered Solus, his girlfriend, with the weapon she crafted for him: the Requiem Blaster. While it was an accident, he no longer shows any regret for doing so, and no longer mentions her as if she never existed, meaning that whatever love he may have once had for her is now long gone. Ultimately, these actions led to him being known as "The Fallen".

He found it amusing to deal with humans as he did promise to let Morden rule over the world if he was freed, he neglected to mention what condition the world would be in after he was done with it. Though the way he puts it, Morden should have realized what he was planning all along and just let his own greed get in the way.

## Trivia

His name derives from Gigatron the name of 2001 Robots in Disguise Megatron, and the Japanese name for Overlord as an alternative to Megatronus, so as not to be confused with Megatron.

Gigatronus's design before he became the Fallen takes inspiration from the 2015 Robots in Disguise Megatronus.

Like the Aligned version of the character, the Universal version has no direct connection to the Decepticons in his backstory. He has, however, always had a helmet shaped like their insignia, an idea that also comes from the live-action film character.
