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]] 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 (issue)|Balancing Act Part 1}}

[[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 dark our lightest hour!]]

Nemesis Prime found himself facing Sentinel Maximus again, and they battled each other while traveling down the hallway 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)

: 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.

==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!

* Alternity Convoy Super Black is totally this guy. His packaging bio notes that he was a clone of a dead Prime, who was tortured for thousands of years by Unicron and made to serve him. Following his defeat by an [[Omega Prime|Autobot]], he was reformed.
