"I could feel all my bad parts being drawn away into this thing. All my nasty habits, my filthy desires... they were now the stuff of this Anti-Me."

Nemesis Primeis the dark mirror ofOptimus Prime,striking terror into his victims' hearts while wearing the face of their hero. He is imbued with many of theAutobotleader's abilities, but lacks all moral restraint. His nature varies between universes: sometimes he is aclonebuilt by Decepticons orhuman mad scientists,in others he's a twisted future incarnation ofNova Primeor even Optimus Prime himself, corrupted by sources of evil likeUnicronor theDead Universe.Regardless, there is one thing that never changes: Nemesis brings dread and destruction wherever he goes. His only friends are theBattle MastersGizaandFangtron.

He also hatesChristmas.

A warrior finds honor only in the total destruction of his enemies.

Fiction

Alternatorstoy bio

Doctor Arkevillespent years personally constructing Nemesis Prime piece by stolen piece, hiding his handiwork from bothConcurrenceagents and the Decepticons. Designed to be the ultimate military commander, he had arguably the mightiestBinaltechTransformer body ever constructed, but it remained without a life-force. Dr. Arkeville planned to acquire one by tapping into an amazingly powerful extra-spatial source that the Autobot Translink Project had uncovered.[1]

Story of Binaltech

Dr. Arkeville, seeking to create an evil leader greater thanMegatron,used a subspace impulse cloner to duplicate Optimus Prime (with a snazzy black-and-teal paint job). To this end, Arkeville twisted Prime's imported essence to evil with a rewriting program, but the clone still lacked life. He experimented with a subspace linkup to channel a life force, but the operation was interrupted: A time warp suddenly appeared and produced amysterious orbwhich touched the clone body, causing the clone to both activate and vanish.

Meanwhile, onDinobot Island,the Autobots were enactingOperation: Distant Thunderto undo the changes thatRavagehad wrought upon the timeline. The Autobots had just sent a drone into the past with the intent of restoring the correct timeline, expecting reality to change around them, returning to its proper state. Instead, the successful restoration of the correct flow of history caused their alternate timeline to become undone, as all of their reality was torn apart by warp holes. At that moment, Arkeville's clone appeared before them, extending his hands as an orb of light engulfed first the island, then the entire world. The warp holes were extinguished, and the clone announced that it had used the power of the spark that now inhabited it to preserve the "Binal-Time" that the Autobots inhabited. The Autobots continued questioning this "Black Optimus", who explained that he was a spark who had been sent back in time from the distant future, referring to himself only as "theProtector".His mission was to preserve the Binaltechs, as their existence would, in the future, bring about theAlternity,a "great existence" involving beings who would ensure prosperity and protection across the multiverse.

When these explanations were done, the clone's core AI suddenly asserted itself, and he began taunting the Autobots, even manifesting a Decepticon symbol on his body. Using what remained of the Protector's power, the clone rejected his foreign spark and formed a warp portal back to Arkeville's lab. Reduced to an automated state, the clone still was able to leap through the portal to its creator. There, the doctor initiated another subspace translink experiment, this one succeeding in connecting the clone to an ancient, evil, greedy life force. At last, Arkeville's creation became Nemesis Prime.Binal Time

What happened to Dr. Arkeville after that is unknown, but soon after activation, Nemesis Prime began to make his move. When Megatron's forces attacked theEarth Defense Commandbase onMars,Nemesis Prime appeared to block any further progress by the Decepticon leader, refusing to let him dominate Earth's solar system, which Nemesis Prime desired for himself. Megatron was disgusted that an Earth-born machine would wear the Decepticoninsignia,but just as they were about to battle, across the galaxy, onCybertron,Mirageaccomplished his mission to activate theQuintesson-createdkillswitch,deactivating all non-Binaltech Transformers. Megatron was frozen, and Nemesis Prime calmly seized the opportunity to take power, ordering Shockwave to gather as many Decepticon bodies as possible. Seeing the logic in this order, Shockwave complied. Nemesis Prime sat on Megatron's throne and plotted future moves.Kill Switch

Seeking to make himself a true match for Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime schemed to create an artificialMatrixby using a device to wrench minds from their bodies and combine them in a crystalline storage unit. Attempting a test run in a human settlement inAustralia,Nemesis Prime was thwarted by a contingent of Autobots led by Optimus Prime andUltra Magnus.The two Primes went one-on-one during the ensuing battle, but when Optimus was sent tumbling into a riverbank, the Protector's spark flew to his aid and fused with him, lending Prime its power. Supercharged by the power of the Protector's spark, Optimus absorbed Nemesis Prime's next attack and redirected it upon his dark twin, who was engulfed and finally destroyed as his body exploded into shards.Unfinished Business, Part 4

"They'll never guess I'm evil."

Nemesis Prime was the product of a mad plan byStraxus,who put a lowly, unknown warrior through an excruciating rebuilding process, tortuously reforging him into the very image of Optimus Prime. Through forcible data uploads and brainwashing, the Decepticon was imbued with memories and skills culled from many sources, giving him much of Optimus Prime's knowledge and combat algorithms. This, however, cost him not just his sense of identity, but also any framework with which to process this knowledge. His creator having since perished, Nemesis Prime became a threat to all, skulking in the dark parts ofCybertronand targeting both Autobots and Decepticons in his murderous insanity.[2]

RevengeThe False Power

Masterpiecetoy bios

After spotting a fragment ofOptimus Prime's body floating in space, the bodilessUnicronswallowed it and used material from his head in combination with the fragment to create an evil clone of the Autobot leader. The new herald was sent toCybertron,where he joined theDecepticonranks after killing many Autobots and acquired the "Nemesis Prime" moniker. When Unicron's head neared Cybertron, Nemesis Prime barged intoIacon'sEnergy Dockand slaughtered the Decepticons stationed there while absorbing the energy into hisDead Matrixto bring about Unicron's resurrection. The Autobots were alerted to the battle, and Nemesis Prime faced off against Optimus Prime himself.Story of Black Convoy

Loyal Subjects figure bio

Nemesis Prime took the form ofOptimus Primeand went on a rampage bent on destroying whole worlds. It had no thoughts or allegiance to either Autobot or Decepticon and merely craved destruction. Its rampage threatened to upset the balance of power.

At one point shortly beforeChristmasit attackedSanta Claus's village, utterly destroying it and incinerating the reindeer. It was challenged bya teleporting elfwho fought valiantly but was twisted into a scratch-back. Nemesis Prime was in the process of choking Saint Nick himself when it was transported away on December 14 byone who wished to wield his awesome power for their own...[3]

Pretty much what happens when you don't live in a society.

Nemesis Prime eventually conspired withGalvatronto rebel against their master and used the Dead Universe to travel through time, intending to coerce Megatron to use the Allspark and destroy Unicron at the cost of Cybertron. After theArkreturned to Cybertron, Optimus Prime's vision in the Dead Universe came true, and Nemesis Prime tracked down the AllSpark and battled both Optimus andBumblebee.As he was joined by Galvatron andMegatron,the former explained their plan and revealed that their existence was the result of Prime's removal of the Allspark and subsequent failure to return it.

But before Galvatron could make a move, a four-way alliance of Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, and Predacons arrived, all standing in solidarity against the forces of Unicron. Galvatron mocked the prospect of Megatron being a part of the united factions until the latter actually turned on him thanks to Optimus and Starscream. Nemesis Prime initiated the battle by blasting Megatron and stood his ground against the factions. Just as Nemesis received orders to take the Allspark, the very relic soon deployed a defense of its own: the sparks of Transformers who died throughout the war. Nemesis Prime and Galvatron charged at the spirits only to be struck down by the spirit ofElita-1.

Having survived the attack, Nemesis Prime and Galvatron were left stranded in space only to be found by Unicron once more. After scolding his minions and musing that their journey through the Dead Universe had given him "ideas", Unicron drew the two towards him to initiate the reformatting process as they screamed in agony.Kingdom episode 6

JACK IS BACK IN BLACK!!!!

The result of forbiddencyber-cloningexperiments, Nemesis Prime is the anti-thesis to Optimus Prime, his polar opposite. Everything Optimus stands for, Nemesis exists to tear down/take apart.

Though programmed with some of Optimus' memories and skills, Nemesis lacked the experience necessary to process the data, and - bereft of guidance - became dark and twisted. Now Nemesis skulks in the shadows of Cybertron, sowing chaos in his wake.Nemesis Prime bio

Black Convoy is the firstBinaltechrelease sinceSkidsin early 2006, and was available exclusively in Japan at the winter Wonder Festival in 2007. His plastic colors are different from Nemesis Prime's, with grey plastic replacing the black on his shins, waist, shoulders and forearms. In addition, Nemesis Prime's windows are tinted red, but Black Convoy's windows are completely clear. His paint deco is based uponKiss PlayersConvoy's, arranged in the same patterns but using teal, and he has vacuum-metallized wheels and front grill. The paint deco on his head is meant to evoke that of Car RobotsBlack Convoy.Perhaps the most important differences are that he has die-cast metal parts, and most of his truck body panels are coated in gloss black paint.
Perhaps due to cost-cutting, this toy was released in the large bubble-on-a-tray packaging also used in theAlternatorsline. However, he came with no character or packaging art.

Power of the Primes"Evolution Nemesis Prime" is anAmazon-exclusive retool ofPower of the PrimesOptimus Primewith two new heads—the evolution one based onCombiner WarsToxitron's (originally intended to be a "Nemesis Prime" )—as well as new weapons. He transforms from a truck with a trailer into a robot and back. The individual truck transforms intoNemesis Paxand is able to form the core of Nemesis Prime's robot mode, while the trailer forms Nemesis Prime's entire body. Hision blastercan be split into two weapons, or plug into Nemesis Pax's hand as shown in stock photography to serve as a shoulder-mounted cannon. He includes the Dark Matrix of Leadership, which can store in his chest in the 'Evolved' form. The center of his Matrix can be replaced with anyPrime Master.
He includes a pair of blasters that can be mounted on his forearms (homagingArmadaNemesis Prime) or on his trailer (in the fashion ofPowermaster Optimus Prime) by flipping out a panel on each side of the trailer. He also comes with the Dark Saber and Giza, a robotic bird who transforms into a sword (in reference to theArms Micron partnerofPrimeNemesis Prime).
Unlike otherPower of the Primesfigures, Nemesis Prime does not include a collector card featuring aPrime Master power description.
Like his moldmate Optimus, Nemesis Prime is prone to having a small number ofquality controlissues. Depending on the individual copy, Nemesis Prime may have two left/right arms and/or legs/feet on the evolution armor, an unpainted face in Nemesis Pax mode, a missing Nemesis Pax head, or missing stickers on the trailer. It is also known for many copies to have weak or floppy ankles in combined robot mode, making standing difficult even on a properly assembled specimen.

"You rememberAlpha Trion?The bot you murdered in cold blood? "
"What does it matter to you anyway?"
"EVERYTHING!!!"
  • Nemesis Prime(March 28,2020)
    • Accessories:Ancient Sword, "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster"
SiegeNemesis Prime is (inevitably) ablack repaintof theVoyager Class Optimus Prime mold,transforming from robot to short-smokestacked Cybertronian armored truck and back. He also comes with theIon blaster(the only weapon for this release) compatible with theC.O.M.B.A.T. System,and the "Ancient Sword", redecoed from theTitans ReturnAlpha Trionfigure. Unlike most of theSiegebrethren, Nemesis Prime is practically spotless, but retains multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from theBattle Mastersassortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.
In vehicle mode, opening the figure's windows shows theDark Matrixmolded into the plastic behind the windows (of course, it was theMatrix of Leadershipon the original Optimus Prime toy). Due to the transformation, the Matrix doesn't end up in the chest in robot mode. Whether through coincidence or design, it's possible to fit aPower of the PrimesMatrix core (and by extension, aPrime MasterorTitan Master) in his chest.
The Ancient Sword can also be mounted onto one of the peg holes on Nemesis' back. Depending on the individual copy, the painted socket may or may not cause stress marks.
Nemesis Prime was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan. He was also sold online throughEB GamesandZingin Australia.
Peculiarly, his packaging labels him as an Autobot and he reuses an unaltered version of Optimus Prime's artwork. In addition, the figure comes withSiegeOptimus Prime's instructions, which predictably, reference the W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield included with that figure, and does not mention this figure's Ancient Sword.
This toy wasrepurposedas one of theThree Musketeersin theGenerations Selects Special Comic.

All I Want For Christmas Is For Everyone Who Recorded A Cover Of All I Want For Christmas Is You To Be Kicked In The Robonads For An Hour.
Promoting theEarthrisechapter of theWar for Cybertron Trilogycartoon,thisWar for Cybertron TrilogyLeader Unboxing set contains a redeco ofSiegeVoyager ClassOptimus Primeas Nemesis Prime. The figure comes withSiegeOptimus's "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster" (but not his "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield" ) plus a sizeable number of extras that beef up the price. These include: a redecoed trailer fromEarthriseOptimus Prime;the Dark Saber,Giza,and large forearm blaster accessories, all from thePower of the PrimesEvolution Leader Class toy;Fangtron,aredecoofEarthriseBattle MasterSlitherfang,along with their blast effect part; and aPlay-Doh-like compound through which a buyer can dig to reveal energon cubes, rereleased from those included withWar for Cybertron TrilogyUltra Magnus'sSpoiler Pack. Fangtron and the Combat Deck ramp are both compatible with theA.I.R. Lock System,as the former can turn into a ramp or a shield for Nemesis Prime. This toy also features a different deco compared to the above TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. Namely, he is in fact molded in very dark gray plastic as opposed to the deep black of the Takara version, and the vehicle stripes, bumper guns, and wheel rims are silver instead of teal.
An additional, undocumented but confirmed third "hover truck" mode exists, which is achieved by folding all of his wheels under his vehicle mode. While the back wheels don't lock in anywhere, the two front wheels actually have small tabs that plug into slots on the back of the wheel sections that aren't used for either of his other modes.[5]
The Hasbro stock photography for the truck mode is alsolaughablymistransformed, with the robot mode crotch being plainly visible, an error that actually requires a considerable amount of effort to replicate with the actual toy. In addition, neither the truck windows nor panels that cover the robot mode hands are compressed fully.
Like the toyline'sSoundwaveandMegatron,this Nemesis Prime is a sufferer ofphotodegradation,with all of his unpaintable POM joints being yellowed after a long time or so.
Much like previous Spoiler Pack, this set is in a windowless box designed to look like an ammo crate and features translatableAncient Autobot.The text on the package reads "FANGTRON" and "GIZA", while the 'spoiler' text inside features a Decepticon-themed quote: "YOU MUST STAY TRUE / TO WHOM THE MATRIX HAS / CHOSEN, FOR IF YOU / DON’T, A MUCH / DARKER FUTURE AWAITS" and an Autobot-themed one: "THE DEAD UNIVERSE IS / UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU’VE / EXPERIENCED, PRIME", which are both quotes fromSky LynxinEarthrise episode 5.The lateral side of the package also features the artwork of Nemesis Prime, edited from the art ofEarthriseOptimus Prime. Compared to the previous Spoiler Pack, the packaging itself has no plastic insert.
This set is a shared exclusive between online retailers andWalmartin Canada and the USA. In New Zealand, the set was sold exclusively at Toy World and Mighty Ape. Like the previous Spoiler Pack, the TakaraTomy release is packaged in a standard windowed box.
Within theWar for Cybertron Trilogyanimated series, this figurerepresentsan Optimus Prime fallen to darkness, not an evil clone.

Nemesmall Prime.
  • Nemesis Prime(Core Class, 2023)
Released as part of the fifth wave of theLegacy: EvolutionCore Class toys, Nemesis Prime is ablack redecoofKingdomCore ClassOptimus Prime.His transformation shares engineering with theThrilling 30Legends figure,but with sculpted detailing directly based on theEarthriseOptimus Prime mold, down to details like thevestigial knee flapsfrom theSiegemold. Rather than the Ion Blaster, Nemesis Prime comes with an Energon Axe (previously depicted on Prime's instructions) that can mount onto one of his forearms if his hands are folded away.
Oddly enough, Nemesis Prime's package art features a trailer, which the toy does not include. This is because the art is recolored fromKingdomWFC-K11Optimus Prime's packaging. He's also towing said trailer backward.
As a redeco of the Core Class mold, Nemesis Prime can hitch the trailer (with the trailer hitch/shield panel on) from the Hasbro Pulse exclusive Optimus Prime & Bumblebee 2-pack.
Nemesis Prime and the other Core Class figures from his wave arrived at US retailless than a weekafter their initial reveal.

Merchandise

Titanium Series

Titanium Series Nemesis Prime.jpg
  • Nemesis Prime(3 "Robot Masters)
    • Accessories:Ion Blaster, display stand
Had it been released, this toy would have been a redeco ofWar WithinOptimus Prime.His unpublished bio described a character much like theUniverseversion mentioned above, but without reference to Straxus or any type of origin story. As a redeco of aWar Withintoy, this Nemesis would presumably—but not necessarily—have been part of theDreamwavecomics continuity.
When on display atBotCon 2006,Nemesis was stood on a Decepticon display stand, but his stock photo in the late-waveTitanium Seriespack-in leafletmade use of an Autobot stand. Weird.
Your bargaining posture is highly dubious.

Proceed on your way to oblivion.
This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

For straight-assembly builders, Nemesis Prime features a sheet of foil stickers for detail (notably the shoulder insignias), though the kit can be panel-lined and touched-up with several panel-lining and paint markers (water/acrylic-based markers are recommended, as alcohol-based markers likeGundam Markerscan potentially damage the ABS plastic). If one desires; the kit's pieces, aside from the translucent parts, can be fully coated with spray paints to recreate the finished sample seen in the stock photos.

  • Nemesis Prime(2022)
    • Known designers:Kelvin Sau
    • Accessories:one ion blaster, one energon axe, Dark Matrix, five pairs of hands (relaxed, closed, rifle- axe- and Matrix-holding)
A redeco ofThreezero'sMDLX Optimus Prime,Nemesis Prime is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Nemesis Prime is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and accessories, namely his ion blaster, energon axe and Dark Matrix. He comes with a suite of hands in pairs: closed fists, splayed-out relaxed hands, and three different pairs meant to specifically hold each one of the aforementioned accessories. His window chest is magnetically attached and as such can be removed to store the Matrix when not in use. His instructions erroneously call the Dark Matrix theCreation Matrixin one of its two callouts.
LikeCliffjumperbefore him, Nemesis was released in the United States as aPX Previewsexclusive.
He was also redecoed intoUltra Magnus.Nemesis is also compatible withStarscream's wing assembly and head sculpt, which can be plugged into his back and swapped with, respectively.

He also features articulation at the head, knees, shoulders, elbows, and even his chest.

Yolopark

AMK Pro

  • Nemesis Prime(2024)
Released as part of Yolopark's AMK Pro line, this "Limited Edition" Nemesis Prime is ablack redecoof the Optimus Prime kit, coming in pre-assembled modules as opposed to traditional model kit runners. This allows him to be assembled quickly and easily without tools. Unlike Yolopark's regular AMK line, the AMK Pro line features diecast parts as well as light-up features. In Prime's case, his eyes will light up when tapping his head with a magnet. The feature requires one CR927 battery which is not included.
The fully assembled figure bears a striking resemblance to theMasterpieceBlack Convoy 3.0 and features an opening Matrix chamber and fully articulated hands, eliminating the need for alternate hands. Both the ion blaster and Megatron gun can tab into his hands, though removing the stalk from the Megatron gun makes this much easier.


AMK Mini Series

  • Nemesis Prime(2024)
  • Accessories:2 additional pairs of hands (Splayed, Pointing),Ion blaster
Released only for theAMK Mini Seriesblind box, this Nemesis Prime is a smaller version of the character, being a redeco of Optimus. Like the original mold, Nemesis features swappable hand parts and his usual Ion Blaster.

Notes

  • The author of Nemesis Prime'sAlternatorsbiohas said that the "extra-spatial source" that Arkeville tapped into was actually a pocket dimension that served asUnicron's power battery—and that Unicron gave Arkeville exactly what he wanted, in the form of asparkfragment from Unicron'sown attempt at cloning an Optimus Prime.[citation needed]
  • Nemesis Prime'sUniversebio seems directly inspired by the Marvel UK "Two Megatrons!"storyline, which revealed that Straxus had rebuilt a"hapless trooper"into a Megatron clone, complete with copied brain patterns. Unlike Nemesis Prime, however, this clone became a repository for Straxus's consciousness after Straxus's botched attempt to invade the original Megatron's mind.
  • According toHasbrocopy writerForest Lee,the reference to Straxus was included in Comic-Con 2008 Nemesis Prime's bio entirely to makeDavid Willishappy.
  • Stellar Converter Cannons are also weapons found on theCybertronPrimustoy.
  • The Loyal Subjects figure had 2 bios: a short version copied verbatim from theArmadaNemesis Primearticle and a longer original write-up that includes a bizarre Christmas-themed rampage.
  • TheMasterpieceBlack Convoy toy is used to represent a Decepticon truck transportingGT-R Megatronto a race in theTransformers GTstory pages,though there is no indication it's actually him.
  • Fun Publicationsscrapped preliminary plans to do aCombiner WarsNemesis Prime toy fromMotormasterbecause TakaraTomy effectively did so withUnite WarriorsGrand ScourgefromOptimus Prime.Thus the Club release of Motormaster's alternate "pretooled" head went toToxitroninstead.[7]
  • Meanwhile, Nemesis Prime's design inForged to Fightis a straight recoloring of Optimus Prime in parallel with Grand Scourge.
