Behold! The Fallen?



Unsubstantiated writer rumours are whirling around the Internets that Leonard Nimoy is in the picture to voice an ultra Decepticon dick named The Fallen in Transformers 2. Given the close proximity to release, they're really after some fine, nuanced performances if this stuff is still up in the air eh? Hater hate aside, it would be just great if Nimoy could assign some yack yacken to Transformers 2. Nimoy previously delivered a stellar performance (I'm serious) as Galvatron in 1986's The Transformers: The Movie. In the 86 feature, Galvatron is the intergalactic plaything of a planet sized Devil transformer. A reborn, re-tinkered super-identity for robo-fuhrer Megatron, Galvatron spends the entirety of the running time being a weaselly terminator with renegade ambitions. There's never much of a sense that Galvatron has any time for his subordinates, or master, instead pushing his own newly upgraded agenda. Given Nimoy's possible recasting, can we expect The Fallen to be a monstrously powerful ubermech with third-party ambition? I do hope so. Crush everybody The Fallen!
