The Fallen is one of the original 13. He, along with Vector Prime, were the first two created with Liege Maximo and the Last Autobot retconned in, followed by Nexus Maximus Prime. At least that's my memory of events. Though Last Autobot has since been dropped from the lineup and The Fallen has been stupidly renamed (mind you, I don't think giving him a name is stupid, just the BS one they chose. Almost as stupid as making Optimus Prime and Alpha Trion members of the 13.
The 13 never particularly interested me to begin with, but Aligned ran the concept into the ground and completely destroyed anything I found even remotely interesting about it. And IDW's attempts to salvage is by Hasbro forcing it on them only made it worse for me.

Can anyone explain why there was a picture of THE FALLEN from Dreamwave comics? I was completely confused. Did I miss a reveal? -Ralph The Fallen is another name for Megatronus who won one of the Hall of Fame categories tfwiki.net/wiki/The_FallenDid he? I missed that bit.

Pinwig arrives late to the party after a hard week to be slightly underwhelmed by proceedings. Legacy wave five and a few other sundries?

On the plus side, them running late meant that I had the Scraplet in bed before the stream started. On the down side, that was a stream that could've been an email. The guys did their best as usual, but were hampered by being left until last and having to rush everything, and not having much to show anyway - since I assume they're saving it all for Tuesday. Or New York Toy Fair in October. Which makes the whole PulseCon thing pretty pointless.

For Transformers, possibly. But it's meant to be a Hasbro wide event to try and get you to buy other lines other than the one you're interested in.
One thing it did make me realise is how much better than the other guys the TF team are! Joes next, then a toss up between SW and Marvel. The gaming lot were speaking a different language
Much more compact this year but it needed a tiny bit more space. Joes & TF having to cut planned pipeline reveals wasn't great. Loose the quiz questions would have been good but they were there to try to hook people to stay to see (and buy) everything
But as you said TFDay next week, NYCC round the corner and I'm assuming there's a 1027 too?

Fair point. I didn't get on in time to see the other teams, but I did see that stop motion animation that the Marvel team did - that was fun.

1027 is the Devastator reveal, if I heard it correctly on the stream.
I was sad there weren't any musical hostages this time.

American dates - 27th Oct. It seems to be how they announce events these days.

Ah! I'm used to the weird American date order. I have to convert Month-day-year into sensible dates quite often at work. But I'd not see it given as a single number before - without a /,| or - in it as denominated. It confused me and I read it as being "a One Thousand Twenty Seven"...
Thank you!

1027 is both October 27th and the street number of the Hasbro offices. It's why they do things on that day

From all accounts that was a meeting that didn't even need to be an e-mail. Because we'd already had the e-mail months ago.

The Three Zero product 'revealed' has been available in the market for quite some time. I've been tempted by the anime colour Optimus before but have been waiting on a sale.
Transformers Day was a bit...pish. The very definition of a non-event!
