I want to take lines or areas and flatten those to a series of features of points, one feature for each vertex on the line or polygon

Chopper with max vertices set to 1

The Chopper transformer will flatten line or area geometry to points. Use a Maximum Vertices =1 . You might want to add a couple of Counter transformers to set the line and point id's so you can reconstruct the features if needed. See the attached workspace.
