The Fallen: The Fallen Prime and the Origin of Evil
Long before the Autobot - Decepticon War, a godlike being known as The Fallen betrayed his brothers. A former member of the original 13 Primes , he became the first shadow in the light of Primus . A symbol of corruption, he is the very root of evil in the Transformers universe.
The origins: Megatronus Prime, the traitor to his own people ⚔️
Before being called The Fallen , he was Megatronus Prime , one of the 13 original Primes forged by Primus to defend the universe against Unicron .
But his pride and ambition led him to betray his creator. Obsessed with domination and merging with the energy of chaos, he became the first being to reject the light, giving birth to the very concept of the Decepticons .
From Megatronus to The Fallen: the birth of absolute evil
After betraying the Primes, Megatronus absorbed Unicron's dark energy, becoming The Fallen . His body transformed, his mind corrupted, and he was consumed by hatred. His goal: to destroy the Sun, the source of Energon, in order to extend the reign of chaos.
In the film Revenge of the Fallen (2009), he returns as Megatron 's mentor, seeking to reactivate the Sun Machine buried on Earth. His defeat at the hands of Optimus Prime symbolizes the victory of light over darkness.
The symbol of the fallen: pride, corruption, and punishment 🔥
The Fallen is not just a simple antagonist. He embodies the fall of ideals and the perversion of power. In the Transformers mythology, he represents the dark side of Primus's creation: the part that rejects balance in favor of absolute power.
- Represents the corruption of original wisdom.
- Symbol of the first cosmic conflict between light and chaos.
- Spiritual source of the Decepticon movement.
This complex character directly links Cybertronian theology to the birth of evil.
The Fallen's legacy in the Transformers saga
Even after its destruction, the Fallen's influence endures through the centuries. Its twisted teachings inspire Megatron and the Decepticon hierarchy.
Every resurgence of chaos, every Energon war, bears the mark of his legacy. His name has become a legend: that of the one who dared to defy the gods themselves.
