A [[Herald of Unicron]], '''Nemesis Prime''' is a dark clone of an [[Optimus Prime (Balancing Act)|Optimus Prime]] from another dimension who was left for dead by [[Megazarak (Universe)|Megazarak]] to rot on the shores of the [[Rust Sea]].<ref>Nemesis Prime's ''Universe'' profile</ref>

The Prime was cloned by [[Unicron]] and awoke slowly to the dark god's torture. Completely broken, this Prime is an eternal servant and begs for the consuming nothing of Unicron's victory over the multiverse. Anything is preferable to the flood of infinite suffering that is his existence.

His only weakness is what tiny, rotten portion is left of his honor. He carries the [[Dead Matrix]] within him, possibly the only thing that can kill Unicron's enemy, [[Primus]].

==Fiction==
===''Cybertron'' comic===
[[Image:Nemesisprimetfuclone.jpg|left|180px|thumb|A Habitrail, right through your twisted spark!]]
Nemesis Prime and [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] arrived via dimensional portal over an abandoned [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] threatened by the [[Unicron Singularity]]. Quickly, they attempted to amass followers to aid them in their attempt to unleash Nemesis Prime's [[Dead Matrix]] on [[Primus]]'s essence, allowing their master [[Unicron]] a posthumous victory.

Their first stop was [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], where they found a pair of Decepticons, [[Jackhammer (Cybertron)|Jackhammer]] and [[Crush Groove]]. When the pair were unwilling to join them, Nemesis and Ramjet quickly dispatched them. Nemesis realized what was left of Cybertron's inhabitants were useless to them, and so Ramjet suggested they pay a visit to [[Alpha Trion (Energon)|Alpha Trion]] themselves.

Alpha Trion, deep within Cybertron with [[Vector Sigma]], was flanked by [[Vector Prime]] and [[Sentinel Maximus]]. Ramjet kept Vector Prime busy, and Sentinel Maximus was unable to prevent Nemesis Prime from grabbing Alpha Trion by the head and slamming him into Vector Sigma. After a blast from Ramjet, Alpha Trion and Vector Sigma both lay in ruins, and the two servants of Unicron made their escape. {{storylink|Balancing Act}}

[[Image:Sentinelmaximusnemesis.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Don't worry, Nemesis. He never succeeds at anything.]]

Standing on the corpses of more destroyed Transformers, Nemesis Prime and Ramjet enlisted [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]] drones to interface with the planet's computer systems to find Primus' spark core chamber. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 2}} After Ramjet enlisted the [[Velocitron]]ian, [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]], with promises of telling of him about his forgotten past, {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 3}} Nemesis Prime's search for the location of Primus' essence was finally complete. They found [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]] guarding it, and Nemesis pinned him to the wall with one of his hip-harpoons. But Downshift had alerted Vector Prime and Sentinel Maximus, and the two Autobots arrived quickly to prevent them from reaching Primus' spark. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 4}}

[[Image:Deadmatrix.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Now darken our brightest hour!]]

Nemesis Prime found himself facing Sentinel Maximus again, and they battled each other while traveling down the [[Spark Core Access Tunnels|hallways]] leading to the spark core chamber. Unfortunately for Sentinel, Nemesis was able to blast the tunnel behind him, leaving Sentinel alone with Primus' spark core. Wasting no time, Nemesis Prime revealed the Dark Matrix from his chest compartment, and its evil energies began filling the room. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Pt 5}}

However, Nemesis Prime was defeated by ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]], who were teleported to this Cybertron en route from the end of the [[Universe war]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 1}} Nemesis Prime suffered heavy damage at the hands of Ultra Magnus and was sealed away inside an energon damping cell, while the Dead Matrix was locked away in the Archives. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}

===''Alternity''===
[[Image:Alternity nemesis vs megatron.jpg|right|250px|thumb]]

Nine hundred thousand years after Nemesis Prime was defeated in battle by the Autobots, he was inducted into the [[Alternity (species)|Alternity]], a race of highly-evolved Transformers who can travel the [[multiverse]] at will, healing his damaged mind with the enlightenment that this new state of being conferred. His "Vector - 704" [[Auto-avatar]], a black Nissan GT-R, allows him to blend in on modern-day Earth, where he aids the Alternity in their mission. He secretly wishes to take his revenge against Unicron, but he knows his current mission against the greater threat of [[Hytherion]] is more pressing. Because of his past, he is more ruthless in battle than his peers.<ref>''Alternity'' Convoy Super Black toy [[bio]]</ref>

After [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] gained powers equal to those of the Alternity by bonding himself to the hyper-dimensional beast known as Hytherion, Nemesis Prime battled one of the villains' Auto-avatars in a barren, burning landscape. Exploiting Megatron's unfamiliarity with higher-dimensional combat, Nemesis Prime easily trapped the Decepticon within a closed time-loop, where he was repeatedly struck by the same laser blast over and over again, until he was reduced to scrap. Following the battle, Nemesis Prime was approached by [[Protector]] [[Elita Seven]], who had been observing the fight and took issue with Prime's brutal methods. When she addressed him as a "deity", he told her to call him "Knight of Darkness" instead. {{storylink|Arch-Nemesis!}}

* '''Nemesis Prime''' (Ultra, 2004)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles, 2 "anchor" missiles, "Dead Matrix"

: Nemesis Prime is a redeco of [[Big Convoy]], released as a Target [[exclusive]] in 2004 as part of the ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line. He transforms into a woolly mammoth, with a "third mode" composed of robot weaponry emerging from the mammoth's hide. Concealed in the mammoth's head and back are a plasma pulse cannon and a semi-automatic fusion rocket launcher. His arms conceal blood-red painted battle tonfas, and his hips house variable-frequency Gatling lasers. Attached to his ankles are a pair of ordnance launchers, the quarrels of which Nemesis Prime has also used in melee combat. The front of the chest folds down to reveal the [[Dead Matrix]], which can be removed and pegged into Nemesis Prime's hands.

: Nemesis Prime is a renowned [[shellformer]].

: The instruction booklet had the transformation sequence going from beast mode to robot mode while the toy itself was packaged in robot mode. This, along with the fact that several parts were turned backwards to better fit into the box, made it a tad difficult to correctly transform for inexperienced Transformers fans.

: Nemesis Prime was released in Japan as a "[[USA Edition]]" toy, sold exclusively at [[JUSCO]] stores starting on [[August 5]], 2004.

* '''Convoy Super Black''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-01'''

:A redeco of the mold already used to created ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' "Convoy Ultimate Silver" and "Convoy Vibrant Red," Convoy Super Black transforms into a 1:32 scale Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts and an opening hood, trunk and doors. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm.

:This mold was also used to make [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]].

==Notes==
* [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|''Alternators'' Nemesis Prime]]'s bio makes vague reference to that character's life force coming from an "extra-spatial power source of unheard of proportions." According to [[Forest Lee|the author]] of the bio, the power source was related to Unicron, and when [[Dr. Arkeville]] accessed it to animate his creation, he received a spark fragment from the cloning experiments that created ''this'' Nemesis Prime.{{fact}}

* Nemesis Prime and [[Optimus Prime (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime]] seemed to recognize one another on their first encounter. Nemesis probably recognized Optimus as a version of his former self, and Optimus probably mistook Nemesis as [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]]. Alternate universes are fun!

Nemesis Prime (Armada)

72.209.44.189: I'm sick of these shitty captions.

:''Nemesis Prime is a [[Unicron]]-affiliated [[Decepticon]] from the [[Armada (franchise)|Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Nemesisprimeut.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]
'''Nemesis Prime''' is a monstrous Transformer sent to kill [[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]] alike. It scanned the minds of the Transformers and took the form of [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], as he was the most powerful and respected in all their minds. As a duplicate of Optimus Prime, Nemesis has all of Prime's strength and power, in addition to his own ability to reconstruct himself.

Nemesis Prime wields the [[Vorpal Saber]], a twisted clone of the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]], and has a [[Mini-Con]] partner named [[Run-Over]].

==Fiction==
===Linkage===
[[Image:NemPrimeUT-Linkage.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Basically, he's not a nice guy. Nice effects, though.]]
Nemesis Prime was granted the [[Doomstone]] and was sent to ravage, devastate and destroy any world he came across, accompanied by [[Run-Over]] and the [[Aerial Extermination Mini-Con Team]]. The death-agonies and negative psychic energies of the beings he destroyed were stored inside the Doomstone, which was at some point taken from him and later transferred into [[Ravenus]]. {{storylink|Linkage Part 11}}

===''Armada'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Paul Dobson]] (English), [[Tōru Ōkawa]] (Japanese)

[[Image:Nemesis_Prime_Armada_cartoon.jpg|left|200px|thumb|]]
Nemesis Prime was encountered by a party of Transformers on a strange planet composed of salt and technorganic materials, after they fell into a black hole that had taken shape due to Unicron's lack of a physical body. [[Nemesis Prime]] was a [[Unicron]]-created being that was very savage and feral in nature, using his [[Vorpal Saber]] nearly to destroy several of the [[Autobot|Autobots]] and [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. Although he was beastly and insane, his exact motives and personality were unknown, as he was simply a puppet of [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]]. Nemesis Prime was eventually destroyed by a combined blast from [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] using the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]] and [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] using his new [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]] power unit. [[Sideways]] was seen fleeing the scene in [[trans-phase mode]], while Nemesis Prime's remains were scattered about the area. Mysteriously, the planet immediately began to break down and was destroyed without reason or warning. {{storylink|Puppet|Puppet}}

*'''Nemesis Prime with Run-Over''' (Super-Con, 2003)
: A [[redeco]] of the Super-Con version of ''Armada'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]], Nemesis Prime transforms into a longnosed truck cab of made-up model. Plugging a [[Mini-Con]] onto the [[Powerlinx]] plug on his robot mode back unlocks a "punching" action that moves his arms back and forth when the plugged-in Mini-Con is pushed up and down. He came with his Mini-Con partner [[Run-Over]], who can also become a handgun Nemesis Prime can hold.

: This mold was also used for the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' Deluxe-class version of Optimus Prime and ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' "[[Battle in a Box]]" [[Ultra Magnus (Universe Two-Pack)|Ultra Magnus]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2003/Decepticon/NemesisPrime/nemesisprime.htm More information on Nemesis Prime at TFU.info]''

*'''Scourge with Sweep''' (Super-Con, 2003)

: In Japan, Nemesis Prime was only available as a mail-away item from ''[[TV Magazine]]'' (limited to 5000 pieces) under the name '''Scourge''', a nod to [[Hasbro]]'s [[Scourge (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Scourge]]. There are a number of small but significant differences between Hasbro and [[Takara]]'s versions of the toys; the Hasbro version uses a bluer version of off-black and a sandy-tan color rather than the Takara version's more brownish-black and neutral light gray. The Hasbro version also appears to have a larger number of [[Paint operation|paint application]]s in a wider variety of colors.

==Notes==

*The ''[[Energon (franchise)|Superlink]]'' comic, "[[Optimus Prime VS Scourge]]" introduced another evil duplicate of [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] in a black color scheme: [[Grand Scourge]]. Although Grand Scourge shares in Nemesis Prime's Japanese name ("Scourge"), paintjob and gimmick, no connection between the two characters was ever explicitly made in the comic or character bio, leaving it uncertain if they're meant to be the same guy or if it's all just a marvelous coincidence.
