'''Artemis''' is an android stationed on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] of [[Gaea]] alongside her partner, [[Moon (BWII)|Moon]]. Artemis's job is to observe the war between [[Lio Convoy]]'s [[Maximal|Maximals]] and [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]]'s [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], gathering all the information she can. She is very flaky and ill-tempered, and occasionally takes her frustrations out on Moon with a big mallet.

She has a disturbing crush on both [[Scuba]] and [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]], not quite sure which one she likes better.

From the beginning, Artemis and Moon watched over the Beast Wars on Gaea from their lunar sanctuary. At the end of each conflict, Artemis would relate the information gathered from the conflict, as well as the conflict's "lesson" ([[PSA|and knowing is half the battle!]]) to the camera. She was rivals (from a distance) with the [[Seacon (BWII)|Seacon]] [[Scylla]], who was also in love with Scuba.

When Gaea came under immediate threat from Galvatron's [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]], Artemis used all her power to help the Maximals. She and Moon finally made direct contact with the Transformers and helped them escape Gaea and reach Nemesis. In the final battle, her moonbase was obliterated, though she and Moon survived.

After [[Unicron]]'s defeat at the hands of [[Big Convoy]], and the formation of an alliance between the Maximals and Predacons, Artemis and Moon somehow traveled to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

As Big Convoy and [[Magmatron]]'s forces had one last brawl for old times' sake behind them, the Gaea androids participated in a giant cross-faction party under beautiful cherry blossoms. They shared a drink (tea? sake? oil?) with [[Bazooka (BWN)|Bazooka]], [[Crazybolt]] and [[Sharp Edge]], while [[Apache]] and [[Cohrada]] slept peacefully nearby (possibly drunk).

===Artemis & Moon II Report===
Scuba and Starscream were pitted against each other in battle. Before finishing the battle they learned that the winner had to go on a date with Artemis. Rather then succumb to that fate, both enemies chose to end the match in a truce. Artemis took it in stride.

==Notes==
* With Moon, Artemis appears as a secret character in the Japanese Gameboy Color cross-series [[Duel Fight Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Warriors' Strongest Decisive Battle|''Beast Wars'' fighting game]]. Here, she and Moon are listed as a Predacon character to equalize the number of characters for each faction.

* Artemis and Moon are based on a Chinese legend about [[wikipedia:Chang'e|a lady]] and [[wikipedia:Moon rabbit|a rabbit]] who both live on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]].

:''Nemesis Breaker is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Nemesisbreakerutrobot.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Don't blink, he doesn't appear this way real often.]]
'''Nemesis Breaker''' says, "Rarrr!" That's because he's a soulless, [[Spark|sparkless]] creature of rage, seemingly nothing more than a physical manifestation of [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron's]] power and hatred, as well as [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker's]] jealousy over [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime's]] usage of [[Wing Saber]] as his new power mushroom.

:''Japanese name:'' '''Dark Ligerjack'''
:''Polish name:'' '''Nemesis Wielki''' (Nemesis the Great)

==Fiction==
===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
When [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] returned as a ghost after his defeat in the [[fire dimension]], the black fog, revealed to be Unicron's shadow spark, that surrounds him ensnare [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]], creating Nemesis Breaker, a sparkless clone of base animal instincts. Megatron claimed that the beast was created out of Leobreaker's anger and jealousy over Optimus Prime's preference of selling the latest toy that combines with him... er, that is, the latest team member that gives him a new powered-up mode. {{storylink|Darkness (episode)|Darkness}}

When Megatron got his ass beat down ''bad'' by [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]], Nemesis Breaker disappeared, presumably into a plot hole, though it's curious that whatever happened to him didn't have any effect on [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]], who had recently been brought back from death's door as Dark Crumplezone by the use of the same mystery doodah that Megatron made Nemesis Breaker out of. {{storylink|Giant}}

Later, when Megatron tapped into the [[Gigantion]] [[Cyber Planet Key]] and upgraded into the über-powerful Galvatron shortly afterwards, it seems he didn't care enough to recreate Nemesis Breaker.

==Toys==
===Cybertron===
[[Image:Nemesis breaker toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Gray Cat Strut.]]
* '''Nemesis Breaker''' (Voyager-class, 2005/2006)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''EX-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Tail/whip, Jungle Planet-type Cyber Key

: A [[redeco]] of [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]] in the typical-to-evil-clones scheme of black and dark gray with turquoise trim, Nemesis Breaker transforms into a robotic lion with electronic sounds. Plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into each of his forelegs/forearms flips down a pair of claws. He can also form something resembling a clawed arm that can be attached to the ''Cybertron'' Leader-Class [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] molds. He comes with a silver-bordered [[Jungle Planet (Cybertron)|Jungle Planet]] style Cyber Key; the [[Hasbro]] version has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key code]] "'''v6f5'''".

: The [[Takara]] version of the toy was released first, as a Toys 'R' Us [[exclusive]]. (It was originally solicited as a normal retail release with the ID number "GD-14", but supposedly, low sales of ''Galaxy Force'' forced several larger show-toys into being exclusives.) The Hasbro version was released at normal retail, and had numerous small [[Paint operation|paint application]] changes, most notably the Decepticon-sigil "tattoo" being on his right shoulder, rather than left.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Lio Convoy|Leo Prime]] and [[BotCon 2009]] [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]]''.

==Notes==
* The television CGI model of Nemesis Breaker used during the combiner sequence animation, as well as the representation of the combined arm mode is based upon a modified version of one of the original prototypes of Leobreaker, who had a much more complex and believable 'arm-mode'.

* Despite his packaging marking him as being from the [[Jungle Planet (Cybertron)|Jungle Planet]], Nemesis Breaker never even so much as set foot on that world. Also, the [[bio]] states that he was created by Galvatron, whom Megatron did not (re-)assume until AFTER Nemesis Breaker is [[Giant Purple Griffin|wiped out in a highly pathetic way.]]

*The only times he's actually in Robot Mode that don't involve Dark Claw transformation are in the episodes [[Escape (episode)|Escape]] and [[Warp]].
