The Fallen

The Fallen is the real decepticon leader and the main villain in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. He corrupted Megatron into starting the war between the Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron. Megatronus Prime was one of the original seven Primes]scattered throughout the galaxy looking for planets where they could build Solar Harvesters. These massive machines create Energon, the vital energy of Transformers, by destroying suns and were activated by an artifact known as the [[Matrix of Leadership. The Dynasty of Primes had one rule: Solar Harvesters were not to be built in systems which contain life. Megatronus, believing that the Cybertronians were the ultimate race and destined to rule the universe and due to his contempt for the human race, chose to ignore this rule and arrived on Earth in 17,000 B.C., where he began construction of a new Solar Harvester. To assist him, Megatronus assembled an army of like-minded Cybertronians who called themselves "Decepticons". Identifying themselves with a symbol based on Megatronus's fearsome visage, the Decepticons built the Harvester in prehistoric Egypt, where they slaughtered any humans who discovered the Harvester. Learning of his betrayal, the other Primes launched an assault on the Decepticon forces and although they were unable to kill Megatronus; the Primes succeeded in capturing and imprisoning him back on Cybertron before sealing the Matrix within a tomb made of their own bodies, sacrificing themselves to help save Earth and humanity. In the present day, the Fallen reveals to the revived Megatron that the All Spark's power is now in Sam Witwicky, who is the key to finding another source of Energon. He also reveals that he can only be killed by a descendant of the Primes, with what appears to be the last survivor of these descendants killed by Megatron. Now confident of no threats to him, the Fallen commands Megatron to find Sam. Eventually, the Fallen himself travels to Earth to complete his plans to destroy humanity. He steals the Matrix of Leadership from Optimus Prime's body and teleports to the Sun Harvester, only seconds after Optimus Prime has been resurrected by Sam. The Fallen uses the Matrix to activate the Sun Harvester. However, Optimus - after receiving parts from Jetfire - arrives on the scene and promptly destroys the Star Harvester before fighting and destroying the Fallen by ripping out and crushing his Spark. Although this would be the final appearance of The Fallen, he is not the only Prime to betray the Autobots. Sentinel Prime did the same in Dark of the Moon. While no mention is made of the parallel with The Fallen, this would technically make Sentinel a "fallen" as well.
