{{disambig3|Toxitron}}
:''Toxitron is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]] (via the 2003 [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]] series).''

[[Image:ToxicTransformer.jpg|thumb|275px|right|''Let me tell you a story about a 'bot with a strange complexion He killed a lot of 'bots and made a love connection By day, he had a girl who baked him Energon breads By night, he roamed the streets and ripped off robot's heads This is the legend He’s the legend The legend of the Toxic Transformer'']]

Long ago, the [[Decepticon]]s attempted to turn a helpless test subject into the ultimate warrior. What they ''got'', however, was '''Toxitron''', a monstrous abomination of science who wears the face of the heroic [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. A twisted, mangled mockery of the Autobot leader, Toxitron would be more than a match for even the strongest Autobot... and that's ''without'' factoring in the noxious cocktail of corrosive slime that oozes from every seam in his armor. A walking vat of toxic sludge, this unusual mutation grants him tremendous strength, immense durability, the ability to heal away even the most grievous damage—and the power to fatally melt any Autobot who strays too close. The indiscriminate danger he poses to allies and enemies alike means that even the Decepticons are wary of authorizing his deployment on the battlefield, where he becomes a roaring, bellowing tornado of blightful chemical destruction.

Toxitron is all too aware that he is a failed experiment. He stumbles and bumbles his way through life, speaking only to offer violent threats or grim proclamations of doom and gloom, and is happiest in deadly wastelands like the [[Rust Sea]] or the [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]]. However, this bizarre, almost morbidly comical facade conceals a deep well of primal, volcanic anger. Used, abused, and cast aside by his creators, Toxitron has vowed messy, indiscriminate revenge on the "perfect" 'bots who've never suffered the way he has.

In those realities where Toxitron throws his lot in with the [[Wreckers]], he forms the torso of [[Wreckage (G1)|Wreckage]]. In this state, a system of internal [[force field]]s prevent him from accidentally melting his fellow [[combiner]] components.

==Fiction==
===''Kre-O'' online comic===
[[File:Toxitron_Kre-O_Character_Image.jpg|upright=0.4|thumb|left|"Goodbye, everyone!"]]
Toxitron was shocked when [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] used blocks from the [[Red Bucket]] to build a giant Mega-Jazz robot and thus fled with the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Treasure Competition! Defeat with Block Power!}}

===Shell Game===
In [[Viron 704.31 Epsilon]], [[Megazarak (Universe)|Megazarak]] arrived from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] after the death of [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] and declared for leadership of the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]/[[Decepticon]] forces. [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] challenged him, and Megazarak seemed to back down, only to poison his rival with [[Tox-En]]. Megazarak then recycled Scourge's chassis to make Toxitron, who served Megazarak loyally if incompetently. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 30 July 2015}}

===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===
[[Image:Toxic Transformer Toxie VS Jetfire.jpg|thumb|200px|Right in the robonads!]]
[[Loudpedal]] and [[Oil Slick (G1)|Oil Slick]] were ''trying'' to create a combiner when instead they made a subject that constantly produced noxious, toxic acid and could heal most wounds. Like the bastards they were, they implanted a [[stasis implant]] that would leave "Toxitron" paralysed and stewing in hate when they didn't want him used; this meant that when he was let off the leash, he would be many times more ''vicious''. The icing on the cake was giving him Optimus Prime's face.

His first known attack was on the remnants of an Autobot force led by [[Spin-Out (G1)|Spin-Out]], where Toxitron was 'taken prisoner' and then wiped out the soldiers. His second was attacking a factory making the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' engines, where he used the transponder from Spin-Out's rotting head to sneak in and went on to throw down with [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. In each place he was used, he would especially loathe any Autobot whose armor was "too shiny". {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}} At some point during all this, Shockwave or one of his subordinates used Toxitron to "grow" a Matrix shell, which later became part of [[Thunder Mayhem]]. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[Image:Toxic Transformer The Wreckers.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
The mad scientists got complacent and when the primary stasis implant melted, they assumed Toxitron was too conditioned to have realized it. Instead, the mutant was just waiting until a resupply ship arrived at the lab and then he broke free, butchered his tormentors in a very nasty way, and almost reached the ship to escape before the secondary implant kicked in. After that, the lab was abandoned. Toxitron stood immobile and alone until, after [[Thunder Mayhem]] had destroyed Cybertron, the [[Wreckers]] came to recruit him for a revenge mission. He'd been tortured into being a monster and now [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], who openly said he didn't care what Toxie had done as long as he helped fight, was offering him a chance to belong but only to a group of monsters. Toxitron found that bloody funny and agreed to join. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}} Unbeknownst to them, Toxitron was also swayed by the idea of being part of a team, though he wasn't about to let them know that.

After the team recruited two new members, [[Alpha Bravo]] and [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]], Toxitron was recruited by Fractyl as a guinea-pig, hoping his resemblance to Optimus Prime would assist the scientist in an experimental mix of greenergon and a sample of Toxitron's fluids. Toxitron's animated ranting about Thunder Mayhem, and the cruelties of life, caused an accident in the lab.

Later on, after being knocked out with some assistance from Offroad, Toxitron had a special orb installed in him that would allow him to combine with others, along with an other ''special'' device of Impactor's. Afterward, the Wrecker took the motley crew on a daytrip to a Mechcannibal hive. Toxitron, for his part, was overjoyed to see such hideous creatures... at least until they took an interest in the "spicy" mechanoid, proving immune to his deteriorating touch. Before he could be devoured, the team formed the mighty Wreckage for the first time. However, the mesh of psyches proved uncontrollable, and the creation was soon split apart.

After recovering, Toxitron stumbled upon Alpha Bravo, the Autobot having fatally wounded Offroad in an attempt to prevent Wreckage ever forming again. Angered at this, though also impressed by the consequences of the Autobot's actions, Toxitron promptly ran Alpha Bravo through with his sword. In the aftermath, Impactor indicated he'd devised a means of dealing with their combined form if the situation went too far. Outraged at being lied to ''again'', Toxitron went on a rampage through the ship. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[File:LivelyPursuit Wreckers.jpg|thumb|300px]]

The Wreckers followed a signal back to Cybertron, where they met the Autobot gunner known as [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]]. The chatterbox impressed Toxitron, both with his kill record and his penchant not to brag about it, especially after Thunder Mayhem. Bluestreak had met alien terraformers known as the [[Teklaan]]s who offered to restore Cybertron, but betrayed him and placed him in captivity along with the Wreckers. They learned the rejuvenation effect was something of a slow invasion, designed to destroy the planet again within a generation, allowing the Teklaans to claim it according to their programming.

When the Wreckers broke out, Toxitron, Fractyl, and Counterpunch made their way to the planetary rejuvenation emitter in the Teklaan ship. They came up with an idea to absorb and contain the rejuvenation radiation within the crystalline lattice of Toxitron's Greenergon matrix, but it seemed like the energy would be more than Toxitron could handle. Impactor and Bluestreak arrived, having modified themselves for Combination, and it was decided Wreckage might be able to absorb more power than Toxitron alone. The Wreckers combiner was reformed and successfully stopped the terraforming process and destroyed the Teklaan ship. Wreckage also pointedly located and removed Impactor's failsafe device from within the portion of him that was Toxitron. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

Toxitron and the Wreckers received a signal tracking Thunder Mayhem to the planet [[Earth]]. Toxitron used his sludge to ruin the pretty features of the Minion of Unicron known as [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] (Thunder Mayhem's partner), unaware the dimensional hopper may have actually preferred his old, unstable physical condition. {{storylink|Pandora's Gift}} There they teamed up with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and the humans and [[Mega Pretender]]s of another reality to battle Thunder Mayhem. The human [[Lisa|Elizabeth]] used her power to channel Wreckage's energies and shatter the [[Matrix of Malice]], forcing the evil combiner apart. Toxitron and the Wreckers took the Mayhem Attack Squad into custody following that exchange. {{storylink|Finale (OMAM)|Finale}}

:Part of the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#Series 5.0 (2016)|Figure Subscription Service 5.0]], ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' "Wrecker Toxitron" is a [[redeco]] of ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager Class [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]] with the mold's previously unused alternate head. Meanwhile, the larger head for Combiner mode was spliced from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|Optimus Prime]] tooling. Like all ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager Class figures, Toxitron can combine with any compatible Deluxe Class figures, although he is intended to form the torso of [[Wreckage (G1)#Toys|Wreckage]]. His two accessories can combine into a larger sword for his combined mode.

:Toxitron uses the revised version of the hip joints. Despite the ratchet fix however, the other design failures of the original mold related to combining still remain. As an unadvertised feature, [[Blackjack (G1)#Combiner Wars|Blackjack]] (and any of his redecoes) can plug onto the pegs of Toxitron's gestalt chest, though the tension is weak.

:He was released along with [[Punch (G1)#Combiner Wars|Wrecker Counterpunch]] and [[Starscream (SG)#Combiner Wars|Shattered Glass Starscream]].

:Toxitron partly came about when [[Fun Publications]] scrapped tentative plans to do a ''Combiner Wars'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] toy because e-HOBBY did the similar [[Grand Scourge#Toys|''Unite Warriors'' Grand Scourge]].

:*''Accessories'': Energon axe, Energon sword, Matrix, blaster, trailer/battle station

: The headliner of the ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' "[[Transformers: Legacy#Walmart_2|Toxitron Collection]]", "G2 Universe Toxitron" is a [[redeco]] of ''Legacy'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Legacy|Laser Optimus Prime]], transforming into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX tanker truck in Toxitron's acid green and purple color scheme. In robot mode, he has a flip-up chest panel that reveals a removable clear-orange Matrix with a [[5 mm post]] hole on its back, plus his gigantic (sadly nigh-immobile) shoulder pylons have flip-up panels to reveal (non-firing) multi-missile launchers. His sword and axe accessories can combine into one gigantic weapon, and you can even slot the Matrix onto it to boot thanks to the 5 mm-long connector tab on the axe. The axe can also fold up to serve as a trailer-hitch cover in truck mode

: His tanker trailer can convert into a battle station, complete with an adjustable front claw, and a twin-barreled turret which can be unpegged and used elsewhere. The base mode has a whopping eight 5 mm holes on its side panels and two on the tanker end that houses the claw, plus the spot where the twin gun normally goes, meaning you can load it up with guns.

: He sports a ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)| Generation 2]]''-style Decepticon symbol, to fit in with everyone else in the assortment, as they are all styled on unreleased ''Generation 2'' toys... despite Toxitron not being from ''Generation 2''. Oh well, we'll allow it as it makes the overall theming pretty awesome.

:As the sword accessory is designed for this mold's open hands, it cannot be wielded by other figures with closed 5mm hands due to the protruding tab on the handle.

: The ''Toxitron Collection'' was exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the US, with [[Hasbro Pulse]] receiving limited quantities of the figure. Toxitron was one of only three toys in the series to go up for pre-order on [[March 16]], 2023, all three shipped in mid-July. The rest of the assortment was put up for pre-order on Pulse on [[July 22]], just as the toys started to eke out to brick-and-mortar Walmart stores; as of this writing, Walmart has yet to put the rest of the series up for online order.

: This mold was also used to make fellow Walmart exclusive ''Legacy'' [[Scourge (RID)#Legacy|Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe Scourge]].

'''Nemesis Prime''' is the dark mirror of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], striking terror into his victims' hearts while wearing the face of their hero. He is imbued with many of the [[Autobot]] leader's abilities, but lacks all moral restraint. His nature varies between universes: sometimes he is a [[Cloning|clone]] built by Decepticons or [[Doctor Arkeville|human mad scientists]], in others he's a twisted future incarnation of [[Nova Prime]] or even Optimus Prime himself, corrupted by sources of evil like [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] or the [[Dead Universe]]. Regardless, there is one thing that never changes: Nemesis brings dread and destruction wherever he goes. His only friends are the [[Battle Master]]s [[Giza (POTP)|Giza]] and [[Fangtron]].

He also hates [[Christmas]].

[[File:AltNemesisPrimeArt.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|[[Serpentor|THIS, I COMMAND]]!]]

[[Doctor Arkeville]] spent years personally constructing Nemesis Prime piece by stolen piece, hiding his handiwork from both [[Concurrence]] agents and the Decepticons. Designed to be the ultimate military commander, he had arguably the mightiest [[Binaltech (technology)|Binaltech]] Transformer 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.<ref>[http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=6142 Nemesis Prime's ''Alternators'' bio.] This was not on the toy's packaging, but rather distributed online to Transformers news sites to promote the figure's availability at San Diego Comic-Con. It was later confirmed to be the work of [[Hasbro]] copywriter Forest Lee.{{fact}}</ref>

===''Story of Binaltech''===
Dr. Arkeville, seeking to create an evil leader greater than [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], 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 a [[Spark|mysterious orb]] which touched the clone body, causing the clone to both activate and vanish.

Meanwhile, on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]], the Autobots were enacting [[Operation: Distant Thunder]] to undo the changes that [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] had 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 "the [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Protector]]". His mission was to preserve the Binaltechs, as their existence would, in the future, bring about the [[Alternity (species)|Alternity]], 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. {{storylink|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 the [[Earth Defense Command]] base on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], 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 Decepticon [[insignia]], but just as they were about to battle, across the galaxy, on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] accomplished his mission to activate the [[Quintesson]]-created [[Large switch|killswitch]], 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. {{storylink|Kill Switch}}

Seeking to make himself a true match for Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime schemed to create an artificial [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] by 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 in [[Australia]], Nemesis Prime was thwarted by a contingent of Autobots led by Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra 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. {{storylink|Unfinished Business, Part 4}}

Nemesis Prime was the product of a mad plan by [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], 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 of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and targeting both Autobots and Decepticons in his murderous insanity.<ref>[http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=496&ST=SO&ID=22380&PG=1 ''Universe Classic Series'' Nemesis Prime's on-package bio]</ref>

The new herald was sent to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where he joined the [[Decepticon]] ranks after killing many Autobots and acquired the "Nemesis Prime" moniker. When Unicron's head neared Cybertron, Nemesis Prime barged into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s [[Energy Dock]] and slaughtered the Decepticons stationed there while absorbing the energy into his [[Dead Matrix]] to bring about Unicron's resurrection.

The [[Optimus Prime (G1)#The Battle for Planet Earth|Optimus Prime]] of [[Primax 085.0 Eta]] was abducted by [[Megatron (G1)#The Battle for Planet Earth|Megatron]]'s [[Renegade Decepticon]]s to another reality and subjected to a stolen [[Brainwave Scanner]] stolen from Professor [[Peter Anthony Morris|Morris]]. The Decepticons used it to turn Optimus Prime into Nemesis Prime, who turned the defense systems of the [[Spychanger|Spy Changer]]s' base against them. {{storylink|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2016/05/12}} Subsequently, however, Nemesis Prime made a play for leadership of the Decepticons, gaining the loyalty of [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Crash Test (G2)|Crash Test]]. [[Wheeljack (G1)#The Battle for Planet Earth|Wheeljack]] mused that turning Optimus evil may not have been the Decepticons' best idea. {{storylink|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2016/05/19}}

After a nearly endless war that resulted in the [[AllSpark]] parting from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for good, {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}} [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] killed [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], lamenting that they should have worked together. Afraid of the possibility of this occurring in the past, {{storylink|Kingdom episode 5}} [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] resurrected and enslaved Optimus as Nemesis Prime. As the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s died out, Unicron and his minions were a constant threat to the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] {{storylink|Kingdom episode 6}} that emerged from the uninhabitable Cybertron. Both groups eventually time-traveled to the prehistoric [[Earth]], with the Predacons seeking to change the future. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}}

While the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' was stranded in the [[Dead Universe]], a humbled [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] showed Optimus Prime a vision of a possible future where he died and fell down a dark path, becoming Nemesis Prime. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 5}} When the ''Ark'' crashed on prehistoric Earth, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] led an attack on its crew, believing Prime to be Nemesis Prime. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}} Prime recognized the fear in the Primal's eyes when he saw him as the same reason he called the Autobot leader "Nemesis". {{storylink|Kingdom episode 3}} While stranded on Earth, the Allspark, as a projection of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], recognized Optimus Prime as its "nemesis" and attacked him. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 4}} [[Megatron (BW)|Predacon Megatron]] would also recognize Prime as Nemesis Prime, believing he could be using Primal just as much as the original Megatron was using the Predacon leader. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 5}}

[[File:WFC-Kingdom-Ep6-Unicron-punishes-Galvatron-Nemesis.jpg|thumb|300px|Pretty much what happens when you don't live in a society.]]

Nemesis Prime eventually conspired with [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to 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 the ''Ark'' returned to Cybertron, Optimus Prime's vision in the Dead Universe came true, and Nemesis Prime tracked down the AllSpark and battled both Optimus and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]. As he was joined by Galvatron and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], 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 of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-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. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 6}}

====''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' marketing material====
Closer than ever to reaching the [[AllSpark]], the Decepticons awakened after crash-landing on pre-[[Ice Age]] [[Earth]]. While battling the Autobots, both sides were joined by the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], their epic battle changing their combined destinies. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}<ref name="kingdom">[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/kingdom ''Kingdom'' webpage]</ref>

Nemesis Prime was a [[Cybertronian military insignia|Ground Command Infantry General]], {{storylink|#War for Cybertron: Siege|''Siege'' toy packaging}} whose function was the dark future of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], and [[trans-scan]]ned into an Earth truck. His [[Dark Matrix of Leadership|Dark Matrix]] and dark [[ion blaster]] were his powers and weapons, and his core traits were his maliciousness, brutality, desperation, and single-mindedness. Nemesis Prime's message from the future was that his existence will be threatened when Optimus Prime fights his dark future. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}<ref name="kingdom" />

Nemesis Prime was constructed from scrap and stolen parts by [[Doctor Arkeville]] in an attempt to create a robot rivaling Optimus Prime. The uncontrolled fury of the creation resulted in it getting loose and going on a rampage that was only stopped by the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]]. Nemesis Prime was forced into a retreat. {{storylink|Nemesis Rising}}

A different, but identical looking, Nemesis Prime was the future version of [[Nova Prime]], who travelled back in time to attack the Autobots, including his own younger self. Along with [[Axer (G1)|Axer]], [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], and [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], Nemesis Prime was transported back to threaten Cybertron. His younger counterpart, Nova Prime, teamed up with [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] and [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] in an attempt to curb his threat, while [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] watched the battle from afar.

Nemesis Prime was created through prohibited [[cloning|cyber-cloning]] procedures, engineered as a direct counter to Optimus Prime. His purpose is defined in opposition, existing to undermine and dismantle everything his counterpart represents. Although he was implanted with fragments of Optimus’s memories and abilities, he lacked the experience and context needed to properly integrate them. As a result, Nemesis Prime operates independently, stalking across Cybertron, leaving only destruction in his wake. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Nemesis Prime bio}}

When Nemesis first arrived on Earth, he promptly proclaimed who he was to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. He then tracked down Optimus Prime's location with the help of [[Luca]], and went to destroy the Autobot outpost, only to be thwarted by Hot Rod. {{storylink|Light Our Darkest Hour}}

Aligned with neither faction, Nemesis Prime stole the [[Artifacts of the Primes]] in order to become more powerful. However during his escape from Cybertron with the artifacts his ship was shot down by the planet's defenses, causing the artifacts to be scattered across space. Damaged from the failed heist, Nemesis went into hiding in order to repair himself. His actions lead to the Autobots and Decepticons competing in race like battles known as the Galactic Trials in order to locate the artifacts. Eventually the Autobots were successfully able to retrieve all of them before Nemesis Prime could finish repairing himself. Though victorious, the threat of Nemesis's return was far from over. {{storylink|Transformers: Galactic Trials}}

: Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Basic figures, Scourge is a simplified [[Spychanger]]-styled version of his larger toy. Aside from being the only all-new tooling toy of the character, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly. He was only available in a 2-pack with a similarly-styled version of [[X-Brawn#Spychanger|X-Brawn]].

: As with most of the new ''Robots in Disguise'' releases, the X-Brawn / Scourge pack was available in Japan as a "USA Edition" mass-released toy.

: This mold was later redecoed ''both'' as Generation 1 "Spy Changer" [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Optimus Prime]] in the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' toyline, and as "Movie" [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus Prime Figure|Optimus Prime]] for a Japanese pack-in DVD exclusive.

Prior to that, he was released in large quantities at regular retail in various Asian countries, becoming a [[shelfwarmer]] there, ironically.

: Later, he was offered in Australia through online stores. A few weeks later he showed up in massive numbers in the Australian retail store Toyworld for half the price.

: Black Convoy is the first ''Binaltech'' release since [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] in 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 upon ''Kiss Players'' Convoy'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 Robots'' [[Scourge (RID)|Black 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 the ''Alternators'' line. However, he came with no character or packaging art.

: This figure was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] into a new body for [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] in the ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' fiction.

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Evolution Nemesis Prime" is an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]-exclusive retool of ''Power of the Primes'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Power of the Primes|Optimus Prime]] with two new heads—the evolution one based on ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)#Generations|Toxitron]]'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 into '''Nemesis Pax''' and is able to form the core of Nemesis Prime's robot mode, while the trailer forms Nemesis Prime's entire body. His [[ion blaster]] can 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 any [[Prime Master]].

:He includes a pair of blasters that can be mounted on his forearms ([[Homage|homaging]] ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]]) or on his trailer (in the fashion of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#PMOP|Powermaster 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 the [[Giza (Prime)|Arms Micron partner]] of [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|''Prime'' Nemesis Prime]]).

:Unlike other ''Power of the Primes'' figures, Nemesis Prime does not include a collector card featuring a [[Prime Master/Combinations|Prime Master power description]].

:Like his moldmate Optimus, Nemesis Prime is prone to having a small number of [[quality control]] issues. 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.

*'''Nemesis Prime''' ([[March 28]], [[2020]])
**''Accessories:'' Ancient Sword, "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster"

:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Nemesis Prime is (inevitably) a [[black redeco]] of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Voyager Class Optimus Prime mold]], transforming from robot to short-smokestacked Cybertronian armored truck and back. He also comes with the [[ion blaster]] (the only weapon for this release) compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], and the "Ancient Sword", redecoed from the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Alpha Trion/toys#Titans Return|Alpha Trion]] figure. Unlike most of the ''Siege'' brethren, Nemesis Prime is practically spotless, but retains multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:In vehicle mode, opening the figure's windows shows the [[Dark Matrix of Leadership|Dark Matrix]] molded into the plastic behind the windows (of course, it was the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Matrix of Leadership]] on 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 a ''Power of the Primes'' Matrix core (and by extension, a [[Prime Master]] or [[Titan Master]]) in his chest.

:The Ancient Sword can also be mounted onto one of the peg holes on Nemesis's 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 through [[EB Games]] and [[Zing]] in 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 with ''Siege'' Optimus 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.

{{toydesigner|[[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

:Promoting the ''Earthrise'' chapter of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Leader Unboxing set contains a redeco of ''Siege'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Optimus Prime]] as Nemesis Prime. The figure comes with ''Siege'' Optimus's "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster" (but not his "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield") and various rehashed extras, in an attempt to justify the price. These include: a redecoed trailer from ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]; the Dark Saber, [[Giza (POTP)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Giza]], and oversized forearm blaster accessories, all from the [[#Power_of_the_Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Evolution Leader Class toy]]; [[Fangtron#Toys|Fangtron]], a [[redeco]] of ''Earthrise'' Battle Master [[Slitherfang#Toys|Slitherfang]], along with their blast effect part; and a [[Play-Doh]]-like compound through which a buyer can dig to reveal energon cubes, rereleased from those included with ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Ultra Magnus's]] Spoiler Pack. Fangtron and the Combat Deck ramp are both compatible with the [[A.I.R. Lock System]], as the former can turn into a ramp or a shield for Nemesis Prime. The toy also features a different deco to the above TakaraTomy Mall exclusive: he is molded in charcoal-colored plastic instead of black, 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.<ref>[http://www.toyboxsoapbox.com/2018/11/13/transformers-siege-voyager-optimus-prime-review/ "At some convention somewhere one Hasbro rep let slip that Siege Optimus Prime also had a hidden hover truck mode."] on Toybox Soapbox</ref>

:The Hasbro stock photography for the truck mode is also ''laughably'' mistransformed, with the robot mode crotch being plainly visible, an error that requires 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 same line's [[Soundwave_(G1)/toys#2020Netflix|Soundwave]] and [[Megatron_(G1)/Generations_toys#War_for_Cybertron_Trilogy|Megatron]], this Nemesis is prone to [[photodegradation]]. Over time, his unpaintable POM joints become yellowed.

:Much like previous Spoiler Pack, this set is in a windowless box designed to look like an ammo crate and features translatable [[Cybertronian language|Ancient 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 from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] in [[Earthrise episode 5]]. The lateral side of the package also features the artwork of Nemesis Prime, edited from the art of ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime. Compared to the previous Spoiler Pack, the packaging itself has no plastic insert.

:This set is a shared exclusive between online retailers and [[Walmart]] in 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 the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'']] animated series, this figure [[repurposing|represents]] an Optimus Prime fallen to darkness, not an evil clone.

: Released as part of the fifth wave of the ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Core Class toys, Nemesis Prime is a [[black redeco]] of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Core Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Optimus Prime]]. His transformation shares engineering with the [[#Thrilling 30|''Thrilling 30'' Legends figure]], but with sculpted detailing directly based on the ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime mold, down to details like the ''vestigial knee flaps'' from the ''Siege'' mold. 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 from ''Kingdom'' WFC-K11 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#K11|Optimus Prime]]'s packaging. He's also towing said trailer backward.

:''[[Missing Link]]'' Nemesis Prime is the, as always, expected redeco of ''Missing Link'' C-01 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Missing Link|Convoy]] in the character's usual black and teal colour scheme. As the mold is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Toys|Optimus Prime]] toy but with the benefit of forty years of advances in toy engineering, it retains almost all of the original toy's [[gimmick]]s and comes with the same accessories as the previous versions of the toy. What differs greatly is the naming of these accessories, notably the included version of [[Roller (G1)#Missing Link|Roller]] is now a version of [[Giza (POTP)|Giza]] and the figure's Matrix is described as a version of the [[Heart of Cybertron]]. The latter stems from a bio whereby this Nemesis Prime is characterized a rebuilt version of the Decepticon spaceship ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' rather than the usual clone of Optimus Prime.

*'''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 of [[Threezero]]'s [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#MDLX|MDLX 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 the [[Creation Matrix]] in one of its two callouts.

:Like [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Threezero|Cliffjumper]] before him, Nemesis was released in the United States as a ''PX Previews'' exclusive.

:He was also redecoed into [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Threezero|Ultra Magnus]]. Nemesis is also compatible with [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#MDLX|Starscream]]'s wing assembly and head sculpt, which can be plugged into his back and swapped with, respectively.

:[[Nendoroid]] Nemesis Prime is a [[super deformed]], non-converting figure redecoed from [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Nendoroid|Optimus Prime]].

:As with most Nendoroids, Nemesis Prime can interchange body parts with compatible figures, and comes with an alternative "pointing hand" accessory to aid with specific posing. The figure is packed with an Ion blaster and an Energon-axe, the latter of which replaces Nemesis's hand when wielded. He also features articulation at the head, knees, shoulders, elbows, and even his chest.

:''[[Kotobukiya]] [[Bishoujo Series]]'' Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime is a redeco and slight retool of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Kotobukiya Bishoujo Series|Optimus Prime]] from the same line of PVC figures. In addition to being recolored in the usual Nemesis black and teal, she has been given a new face sculpt, and the Optimus figure's trailer briefcase has been swapped out for a bright red energy sword.

:Like Optimus, ''Bishoujo Series'' Nemesis Prime also comes with an alternate [[Mouthplate|masked]] head piece, and is attached to a purple display base designed after the Decepticon insignia.

:The figure was a limited release, only available via Kotobukiya's website and at specific events, such as the 2023 Anime Expo convention.

====AMK Pro====
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Nemesis Prime''' (2024)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Stand, [[Ion blaster]], [[Energon-axe]], [[Matrix of Leadership]], Megatron gun mode.

:Released as part of Yolopark's AMK Pro line, this "Limited Edition" Nemesis Prime is a [[black redeco]] of 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 the ''Masterpiece'' Black 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====
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Nemesis Prime''' (2024)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': 2 additional pairs of hands (Splayed, Pointing), [[Ion blaster]]

:First released for the ''AMK Mini Series'' blind 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.

: As a blind-boxed figure, the line-up had a 1/60 probability of obtaining Nemesis Prime, which was 30 times more than Skywarp. However, Nemesis Prime has also been released individually in a single box, with initial sightings in the Filipino market in July 2025.

:*''Accessories:'' Spare balljoint piece, figure stand, 2 open hands, 2 forearm blasters, Dark Saber, holdable Autobot/Decepticon insignias

:Released in the fourth wave of the ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, ''[[Blokees]]'' Nemesis is a roughly 4-inch-tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Decepticon clone, redecoed from parts of the first wave's Optimus Prime. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Nemesis has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases. Despite what the instructions depict regarding the retooled secure joint, Nemesis still utilizes the circular hinge connection for his head and faceplate construction.

:As a redeco of the ''Galaxy Version'' Optimus Prime kit, Nemesis retains the peg holes for the jetpack from the ''Shining Version'' Sideswipe kit.

:In addition to the 2 pairs of closed and open hands, Nemesis also comes with a new set of weapons replacing the original mold's Ion Blaster and Energon Axe, namely the twin forearm blasters and the [[Dark Saber]] modeled after his accessories from the [[Nemesis_Prime_(G1)#Power_of_the_Primes|''Power of the Primes'']] toy.

:*''Accessories'': Spare balljoint piece, figure stand, 2 pairs of hands (fists/weapon-holding, open-palm), ion blaster, holdable Autobot and Decepticon insignias

:Released exclusively for the Transformers-based Lucky Draw box, this Nemesis Prime kit is a redeco of the second Shining Version wave's G1 toy-based Optimus Prime. He includes the same hands and weapon accessories, though the light-up feature has been omitted. Like the rest of his lucky draw mates, Nemesis uses the updated preassembled elbow/knee joints.

:His insignia is erroneously depicted as a Shattered Glass version of the Autobot symbol.

:Nemesis Prime is exclusive to the Lucky Draw box, obtainable through a campaign involving Blokees Transformers product purchases. He was one of three first-prize kits, alongside Hauler and Bitstream. There is no guarantee of obtaining him unless the entire box is purchased, so all you can do is hope if you're willing to push your luck.

:The award for collecting 12 different Blokees Wheels C-01 figures and scanning the QR Code to unlock their profile in Blokees Figure Club on WeChat and later the global Blokees App, this Nemesis Prime model kit is a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Blokees Wheels|Optimus Prime]] based on his Earth truck mode designed by [[Don Figueroa]] for [[IDW Publishing]]'s 2009-2011 ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' series in Nemesis Prime's iconic evergreen paint scheme. While everything else is molded in ABS plastic, the cab section is made out of "2.5x density" Solidex to evoke the feeling of die-cast cars like [[Hot Wheels]]. He uses the same universal Chassis Connector as the rest of the lineup, and his front section can be opened to allow the chase kits' driver figures to sit inside; the seats can also accommodate the [[Matrix of Leadership]] included with his wavemate [[Scamper#Blokees Wheels|Scamper]]. The truck bed has a standard-size port which serves as a trailer hitch, used by the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Blokees Wheels|''CT 01'']] individual-release version of this kit, which includes the trailer.

{{toydesigner|[[Lam Ahtek]]}}

:Sold as part of [[Auldey]]'s "Alpha Action Elite (AAE)" series of blindboxes, this Nemesis Prime is a 5-inch non-transforming but highly articulated action figure, redecoed from the [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/merchandise#Auldey|first ''AAE'' Optimus Prime mold]]. Aside from his additional pairs of hands. Nemesis also comes with a sword instead of an Ion Blaster, and a black redeco of ''AAE-S'' Starscream's coronation cape and shoulder pauldrons. Nemesis also features a removable chest window piece, which reveals an empty cavity for a Matrix of Leadership-shaped accessory from this line. Unlike the original mold, Nemesis uses the improved neck joint used for the ''AAE Select'''s release of Optimus.

:As advertised in the box, the lineup had a 12/72 probability of getting Nemesis.

==Notes==
*[[Forest Lee|The author of Nemesis Prime's ''Alternators'' bio]] has said that the "extra-spatial source" that Arkeville tapped into was actually a pocket dimension that served as [[Unicron]]'s power battery—and that Unicron gave Arkeville exactly what he wanted, in the form of a [[spark]] fragment from Unicron's [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|own attempt at cloning an Optimus Prime]].{{fact}}
*Nemesis Prime's ''Universe'' bio seems directly inspired by the Marvel UK "[[Two Megatrons!]]" storyline, which revealed that Straxus had rebuilt a "[[Archforce|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 to [[Hasbro]] copy writer [[Forest Lee]], the reference to Straxus was included in Comic-Con 2008 Nemesis Prime's bio entirely to make [[David Willis]] happy.
*Stellar Converter Cannons are also weapons found on the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Primus]] toy.
*The Loyal Subjects figure had 2 bios: a short version copied verbatim from the ''Armada'' [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]] article and a longer original write-up that includes a bizarre Christmas-themed rampage.
*The ''Masterpiece'' Black Convoy toy is used to represent a Decepticon truck transporting [[Megatron (G1)|GT-R Megatron]] to a race in the [[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (story page)|''Transformers GT'' story pages]], though there is no indication it's actually him.
*[[Fun Publications]] scrapped preliminary plans to do a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Nemesis Prime toy from [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]] because TakaraTomy effectively did so with [[Grand Scourge#Toys|''Unite Warriors'' Grand Scourge]] from [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|Optimus Prime]]. Thus the Club release of Motormaster's alternate "pretooled" head went to [[Toxitron (Universe)#Combiner Wars|Toxitron]] instead.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/127659-future-of-unite-warriors-from-figure-king/page-2#entry3212769 Post by Powered Convoy on The Allspark Forums, 2016/04/22]</ref>
*Meanwhile, Nemesis Prime's design in ''Forged to Fight'' is a straight recoloring of Optimus Prime in parallel with Grand Scourge.

Toxitron (Universe)

Theconemann: /* Threezero */

{{factions|decepticon|wreckers|decepticong2}}
{{disambig3|Toxitron}}
:''Toxitron is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]] (via the 2003 [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]] series).''

[[Image:ToxicTransformer.jpg|thumb|275px|right|''Let me tell you a story about a 'bot with a strange complexion He killed a lot of 'bots and made a love connection By day, he had a girl who baked him Energon breads By night, he roamed the streets and ripped off robot's heads This is the legend He’s the legend The legend of the Toxic Transformer'']]

Long ago, the [[Decepticon]]s attempted to turn a helpless test subject into the ultimate warrior. What they ''got'', however, was '''Toxitron''', a monstrous abomination of science who wears the face of the heroic [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. A twisted, mangled mockery of the Autobot leader, Toxitron would be more than a match for even the strongest Autobot... and that's ''without'' factoring in the noxious cocktail of corrosive slime that oozes from every seam in his armor. A walking vat of toxic sludge, this unusual mutation grants him tremendous strength, immense durability, the ability to heal away even the most grievous damage—and the power to fatally melt any Autobot who strays too close. The indiscriminate danger he poses to allies and enemies alike means that even the Decepticons are wary of authorizing his deployment on the battlefield, where he becomes a roaring, bellowing tornado of blightful chemical destruction.

Toxitron is all too aware that he is a failed experiment. He stumbles and bumbles his way through life, speaking only to offer violent threats or grim proclamations of doom and gloom, and is happiest in deadly wastelands like the [[Rust Sea]] or the [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]]. However, this bizarre, almost morbidly comical facade conceals a deep well of primal, volcanic anger. Used, abused, and cast aside by his creators, Toxitron has vowed messy, indiscriminate revenge on the "perfect" 'bots who've never suffered the way he has.

In those realities where Toxitron throws his lot in with the [[Wreckers]], he forms the torso of [[Wreckage (G1)|Wreckage]]. In this state, a system of internal [[force field]]s prevent him from accidentally melting his fellow [[combiner]] components.

{{bigquote|Monsters have no rights; they can be locked away when not needed. Spat on. Mocked. Taunted... But... But... Monsters have no rules either. They simply destroy... And they learn to ENJOY it!!!|Toxitron|"[[Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim]]"}}

[[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] challenged him, and Megazarak seemed to back down, only to poison his rival with [[Tox-En]]. Megazarak then recycled Scourge's chassis to make Toxitron, who served Megazarak loyally if incompetently. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 30 July 2015}}

===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===
[[Image:Toxic Transformer Toxie VS Jetfire.jpg|thumb|200px|Right in the robonads!]]
[[Loudpedal]] and [[Oil Slick (G1)|Oil Slick]] were ''trying'' to create a combiner when instead they made a subject that constantly produced noxious, toxic acid and could heal most wounds. Like the bastards they were, they implanted a [[stasis implant]] that would leave "Toxitron" paralysed and stewing in hate when they didn't want him used; this meant that when he was let off the leash, he would be many times more ''vicious''. The icing on the cake was giving him Optimus Prime's face.

His first known attack was on the remnants of an Autobot force led by [[Spin-Out (G1)|Spin-Out]], where Toxitron was 'taken prisoner' and then wiped out the soldiers. His second was attacking a factory making the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' engines, where he used the transponder from Spin-Out's rotting head to sneak in and went on to throw down with [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. In each place he was used, he would especially loathe any Autobot whose armor was "too shiny". {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}} At some point during all this, Shockwave or one of his subordinates used Toxitron to "grow" a Matrix shell, which later became part of [[Thunder Mayhem]]. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[Image:Toxic Transformer The Wreckers.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
The mad scientists got complacent and when the primary stasis implant melted, they assumed Toxitron was too conditioned to have realized it. Instead, the mutant was just waiting until a resupply ship arrived at the lab and then he broke free, butchered his tormentors in a very nasty way, and almost reached the ship to escape before the secondary implant kicked in. After that, the lab was abandoned. Toxitron stood immobile and alone until, after [[Thunder Mayhem]] had destroyed Cybertron, the [[Wreckers]] came to recruit him for a revenge mission. He'd been tortured into being a monster and now [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], who openly said he didn't care what Toxie had done as long as he helped fight, was offering him a chance to belong but only to a group of monsters. Toxitron found that bloody funny and agreed to join. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}} Unbeknownst to them, Toxitron was also swayed by the idea of being part of a team, though he wasn't about to let them know that.

After the team recruited two new members, [[Alpha Bravo]] and [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]], Toxitron was recruited by Fractyl as a guinea-pig, hoping his resemblance to Optimus Prime would assist the scientist in an experimental mix of greenergon and a sample of Toxitron's fluids. Toxitron's animated ranting about Thunder Mayhem, and the cruelties of life, caused an accident in the lab.

Later on, after being knocked out with some assistance from Offroad, Toxitron had a special orb installed in him that would allow him to combine with others, along with an other ''special'' device of Impactor's. Afterward, the Wrecker took the motley crew on a daytrip to a Mechcannibal hive. Toxitron, for his part, was overjoyed to see such hideous creatures... at least until they took an interest in the "spicy" mechanoid, proving immune to his deteriorating touch. Before he could be devoured, the team formed the mighty Wreckage for the first time. However, the mesh of psyches proved uncontrollable, and the creation was soon split apart.

After recovering, Toxitron stumbled upon Alpha Bravo, the Autobot having fatally wounded Offroad in an attempt to prevent Wreckage ever forming again. Angered at this, though also impressed by the consequences of the Autobot's actions, Toxitron promptly ran Alpha Bravo through with his sword. In the aftermath, Impactor indicated he'd devised a means of dealing with their combined form if the situation went too far. Outraged at being lied to ''again'', Toxitron went on a rampage through the ship. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[File:LivelyPursuit Wreckers.jpg|thumb|300px]]

The Wreckers followed a signal back to Cybertron, where they met the Autobot gunner known as [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]]. The chatterbox impressed Toxitron, both with his kill record and his penchant not to brag about it, especially after Thunder Mayhem. Bluestreak had met alien terraformers known as the [[Teklaan]]s who offered to restore Cybertron, but betrayed him and placed him in captivity along with the Wreckers. They learned the rejuvenation effect was something of a slow invasion, designed to destroy the planet again within a generation, allowing the Teklaans to claim it according to their programming.

When the Wreckers broke out, Toxitron, Fractyl, and Counterpunch made their way to the planetary rejuvenation emitter in the Teklaan ship. They came up with an idea to absorb and contain the rejuvenation radiation within the crystalline lattice of Toxitron's Greenergon matrix, but it seemed like the energy would be more than Toxitron could handle. Impactor and Bluestreak arrived, having modified themselves for Combination, and it was decided Wreckage might be able to absorb more power than Toxitron alone. The Wreckers combiner was reformed and successfully stopped the terraforming process and destroyed the Teklaan ship. Wreckage also pointedly located and removed Impactor's failsafe device from within the portion of him that was Toxitron. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

Toxitron and the Wreckers received a signal tracking Thunder Mayhem to the planet [[Earth]]. Toxitron used his sludge to ruin the pretty features of the Minion of Unicron known as [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] (Thunder Mayhem's partner), unaware the dimensional hopper may have actually preferred his old, unstable physical condition. {{storylink|Pandora's Gift}} There they teamed up with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and the humans and [[Mega Pretender]]s of another reality to battle Thunder Mayhem. The human [[Lisa|Elizabeth]] used her power to channel Wreckage's energies and shatter the [[Matrix of Malice]], forcing the evil combiner apart. Toxitron and the Wreckers took the Mayhem Attack Squad into custody following that exchange. {{storylink|Finale (OMAM)|Finale}}

:Part of the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#Series 5.0 (2016)|Figure Subscription Service 5.0]], ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' "Wrecker Toxitron" is a [[redeco]] of ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager Class [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]] with the mold's previously unused alternate head. Meanwhile, the larger head for Combiner mode was spliced from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|Optimus Prime]] tooling. Like all ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager Class figures, Toxitron can combine with any compatible Deluxe Class figures, although he is intended to form the torso of [[Wreckage (G1)#Toys|Wreckage]]. His two accessories can combine into a larger sword for his combined mode.

:Toxitron uses the revised version of the hip joints. Despite the ratchet fix however, the other design failures of the original mold related to combining still remain. As an unadvertised feature, [[Blackjack (G1)#Combiner Wars|Blackjack]] (and any of his redecoes) can plug onto the pegs of Toxitron's gestalt chest, though the tension is weak.

:He was released along with [[Punch (G1)#Combiner Wars|Wrecker Counterpunch]] and [[Starscream (SG)#Combiner Wars|Shattered Glass Starscream]].

:Toxitron partly came about when [[Fun Publications]] scrapped tentative plans to do a ''Combiner Wars'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] toy because e-HOBBY did the similar [[Grand Scourge#Toys|''Unite Warriors'' Grand Scourge]].

:*''Accessories'': Energon axe, Energon sword, Matrix, blaster, trailer/battle station

: The headliner of the ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' "[[Transformers: Legacy#Walmart_2|Toxitron Collection]]", "G2 Universe Toxitron" is a [[redeco]] of ''Legacy'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Legacy|Laser Optimus Prime]], transforming into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX tanker truck in Toxitron's acid green and purple color scheme. In robot mode, he has a flip-up chest panel that reveals a removable clear-orange Matrix with a [[5 mm post]] hole on its back, plus his gigantic (sadly nigh-immobile) shoulder pylons have flip-up panels to reveal (non-firing) multi-missile launchers. His sword and axe accessories can combine into one gigantic weapon, and you can even slot the Matrix onto it to boot thanks to the 5 mm-long connector tab on the axe. The axe can also fold up to serve as a trailer-hitch cover in truck mode

: His tanker trailer can convert into a battle station, complete with an adjustable front claw, and a twin-barreled turret which can be unpegged and used elsewhere. The base mode has a whopping eight 5 mm holes on its side panels and two on the tanker end that houses the claw, plus the spot where the twin gun normally goes, meaning you can load it up with guns.

: He sports a ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)| Generation 2]]''-style Decepticon symbol, to fit in with everyone else in the assortment, as they are all styled on unreleased ''Generation 2'' toys... despite Toxitron not being from ''Generation 2''. Oh well, we'll allow it as it makes the overall theming pretty awesome.

:As the sword accessory is designed for this mold's open hands, it cannot be wielded by other figures with closed 5mm hands due to the protruding tab on the handle.

: The ''Toxitron Collection'' was exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the US, with [[Hasbro Pulse]] receiving limited quantities of the figure. Toxitron was one of only three toys in the series to go up for pre-order on [[March 16]], 2023, all three shipped in mid-July. The rest of the assortment was put up for pre-order on Pulse on [[July 22]], just as the toys started to eke out to brick-and-mortar Walmart stores; as of this writing, Walmart has yet to put the rest of the series up for online order.

: This mold was also used to make fellow Walmart exclusive ''Legacy'' [[Scourge (RID)#Legacy|Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe Scourge]].

{{disambig3|Toxitron}}
:''Toxitron is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]] (via the 2003 [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]] series).''

[[Image:ToxicTransformer.jpg|thumb|275px|right|''Let me tell you a story about a 'bot with a strange complexion He killed a lot of 'bots and made a love connection By day, he had a girl who baked him Energon breads By night, he roamed the streets and ripped off robot's heads This is the legend He’s the legend The legend of the Toxic Transformer'']]

Long ago, the [[Decepticon]]s attempted to turn a helpless test subject into the ultimate warrior. What they ''got'', however, was '''Toxitron''', a monstrous abomination of science who wears the face of the heroic [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. A twisted, mangled mockery of the Autobot leader, Toxitron would be more than a match for even the strongest Autobot... and that's ''without'' factoring in the noxious cocktail of corrosive slime that oozes from every seam in his armor. A walking vat of toxic sludge, this unusual mutation grants him tremendous strength, immense durability, the ability to heal away even the most grievous damage—and the power to fatally melt any Autobot who strays too close. The indiscriminate danger he poses to allies and enemies alike means that even the Decepticons are wary of authorizing his deployment on the battlefield, where he becomes a roaring, bellowing tornado of blightful chemical destruction.

Toxitron is all too aware that he is a failed experiment. He stumbles and bumbles his way through life, speaking only to offer violent threats or grim proclamations of doom and gloom, and is happiest in deadly wastelands like the [[Rust Sea]] or the [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]]. However, this bizarre, almost morbidly comical facade conceals a deep well of primal, volcanic anger. Used, abused, and cast aside by his creators, Toxitron has vowed messy, indiscriminate revenge on the "perfect" 'bots who've never suffered the way he has.

In those realities where Toxitron throws his lot in with the [[Wreckers]], he forms the torso of [[Wreckage (G1)|Wreckage]]. In this state, a system of internal [[force field]]s prevent him from accidentally melting his fellow [[combiner]] components.

===''Kre-O'' online comic===
[[File:Toxitron_Kre-O_Character_Image.jpg|upright=0.4|thumb|left|"Goodbye, everyone!"]]
Toxitron was shocked when [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] used blocks from the [[Red Bucket]] to build a giant Mega-Jazz robot and thus fled with the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Treasure Competition! Defeat with Block Power!}}

===Shell Game===
In [[Viron 704.31 Epsilon]], [[Megazarak (Universe)|Megazarak]] arrived from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] after the death of [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] and declared for leadership of the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]/[[Decepticon]] forces. [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] challenged him, and Megazarak seemed to back down, only to poison his rival with [[Tox-En]]. Megazarak then recycled Scourge's chassis to make Toxitron, who served Megazarak loyally if incompetently. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 30 July 2015}}

===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===
[[Image:Toxic Transformer Toxie VS Jetfire.jpg|thumb|200px|Right in the robonads!]]
[[Loudpedal]] and [[Oil Slick (G1)|Oil Slick]] were ''trying'' to create a combiner when instead they made a subject that constantly produced noxious, toxic acid and could heal most wounds. Like the bastards they were, they implanted a [[stasis implant]] that would leave "Toxitron" paralysed and stewing in hate when they didn't want him used; this meant that when he was let off the leash, he would be many times more ''vicious''. The icing on the cake was giving him Optimus Prime's face.

His first known attack was on the remnants of an Autobot force led by [[Spin-Out (G1)|Spin-Out]], where Toxitron was 'taken prisoner' and then wiped out the soldiers. His second was attacking a factory making the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' engines, where he used the transponder from Spin-Out's rotting head to sneak in and went on to throw down with [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. In each place he was used, he would especially loathe any Autobot whose armor was "too shiny". {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}} At some point during all this, Shockwave or one of his subordinates used Toxitron to "grow" a Matrix shell, which later became part of [[Thunder Mayhem]]. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[Image:Toxic Transformer The Wreckers.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
The mad scientists got complacent and when the primary stasis implant melted, they assumed Toxitron was too conditioned to have realized it. Instead, the mutant was just waiting until a resupply ship arrived at the lab and then he broke free, butchered his tormentors in a very nasty way, and almost reached the ship to escape before the secondary implant kicked in. After that, the lab was abandoned. Toxitron stood immobile and alone until, after [[Thunder Mayhem]] had destroyed Cybertron, the [[Wreckers]] came to recruit him for a revenge mission. He'd been tortured into being a monster and now [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], who openly said he didn't care what Toxie had done as long as he helped fight, was offering him a chance to belong but only to a group of monsters. Toxitron found that bloody funny and agreed to join. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}} Unbeknownst to them, Toxitron was also swayed by the idea of being part of a team, though he wasn't about to let them know that.

After the team recruited two new members, [[Alpha Bravo]] and [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]], Toxitron was recruited by Fractyl as a guinea-pig, hoping his resemblance to Optimus Prime would assist the scientist in an experimental mix of greenergon and a sample of Toxitron's fluids. Toxitron's animated ranting about Thunder Mayhem, and the cruelties of life, caused an accident in the lab.

Later on, after being knocked out with some assistance from Offroad, Toxitron had a special orb installed in him that would allow him to combine with others, along with an other ''special'' device of Impactor's. Afterward, the Wrecker took the motley crew on a daytrip to a Mechcannibal hive. Toxitron, for his part, was overjoyed to see such hideous creatures... at least until they took an interest in the "spicy" mechanoid, proving immune to his deteriorating touch. Before he could be devoured, the team formed the mighty Wreckage for the first time. However, the mesh of psyches proved uncontrollable, and the creation was soon split apart.

After recovering, Toxitron stumbled upon Alpha Bravo, the Autobot having fatally wounded Offroad in an attempt to prevent Wreckage ever forming again. Angered at this, though also impressed by the consequences of the Autobot's actions, Toxitron promptly ran Alpha Bravo through with his sword. In the aftermath, Impactor indicated he'd devised a means of dealing with their combined form if the situation went too far. Outraged at being lied to ''again'', Toxitron went on a rampage through the ship. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[File:LivelyPursuit Wreckers.jpg|thumb|300px]]

The Wreckers followed a signal back to Cybertron, where they met the Autobot gunner known as [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]]. The chatterbox impressed Toxitron, both with his kill record and his penchant not to brag about it, especially after Thunder Mayhem. Bluestreak had met alien terraformers known as the [[Teklaan]]s who offered to restore Cybertron, but betrayed him and placed him in captivity along with the Wreckers. They learned the rejuvenation effect was something of a slow invasion, designed to destroy the planet again within a generation, allowing the Teklaans to claim it according to their programming.

When the Wreckers broke out, Toxitron, Fractyl, and Counterpunch made their way to the planetary rejuvenation emitter in the Teklaan ship. They came up with an idea to absorb and contain the rejuvenation radiation within the crystalline lattice of Toxitron's Greenergon matrix, but it seemed like the energy would be more than Toxitron could handle. Impactor and Bluestreak arrived, having modified themselves for Combination, and it was decided Wreckage might be able to absorb more power than Toxitron alone. The Wreckers combiner was reformed and successfully stopped the terraforming process and destroyed the Teklaan ship. Wreckage also pointedly located and removed Impactor's failsafe device from within the portion of him that was Toxitron. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

Toxitron and the Wreckers received a signal tracking Thunder Mayhem to the planet [[Earth]]. Toxitron used his sludge to ruin the pretty features of the Minion of Unicron known as [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] (Thunder Mayhem's partner), unaware the dimensional hopper may have actually preferred his old, unstable physical condition. {{storylink|Pandora's Gift}} There they teamed up with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and the humans and [[Mega Pretender]]s of another reality to battle Thunder Mayhem. The human [[Lisa|Elizabeth]] used her power to channel Wreckage's energies and shatter the [[Matrix of Malice]], forcing the evil combiner apart. Toxitron and the Wreckers took the Mayhem Attack Squad into custody following that exchange. {{storylink|Finale (OMAM)|Finale}}

In those realities where Toxitron throws his lot in with the [[Wreckers]], he forms the torso of [[Wreckage (G1)|Wreckage]]. In this state, a system of internal [[force field]]s prevent him from accidentally melting his fellow [[combiner]] components.

[[File:Toxitron_Kre-O_Character_Image.jpg|upright=0.4|thumb|left|"Goodbye, everyone!"]]
Toxitron was shocked when [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] used blocks from the [[Red Bucket]] to build a giant Mega-Jazz robot and thus fled with the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Treasure Competition! Defeat with Block Power!}}

===Shell Game===
In [[Viron 704.31 Epsilon]], [[Megazarak (Universe)|Megazarak]] arrived from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] after the death of [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] and declared for leadership of the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]/[[Decepticon]] forces. [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] challenged him, and Megazarak seemed to back down, only to poison his rival with [[Tox-En]]. Megazarak then recycled Scourge's chassis to make Toxitron, who served Megazarak loyally if incompetently. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 30 July 2015}}

===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===
[[Image:Toxic Transformer Toxie VS Jetfire.jpg|thumb|200px|Right in the robonads!]]
[[Loudpedal]] and [[Oil Slick (G1)|Oil Slick]] were ''trying'' to create a combiner when instead they made a subject that constantly produced noxious, toxic acid and could heal most wounds. Like the bastards they were, they implanted a [[stasis implant]] that would leave "Toxitron" paralysed and stewing in hate when they didn't want him used; this meant that when he was let off the leash, he would be many times more ''vicious''. The icing on the cake was giving him Optimus Prime's face.

His first known attack was on the remnants of an Autobot force led by [[Spin-Out (G1)|Spin-Out]], where Toxitron was 'taken prisoner' and then wiped out the soldiers. His second was attacking a factory making the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' engines, where he used the transponder from Spin-Out's rotting head to sneak in and went on to throw down with [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. In each place he was used, he would especially loathe any Autobot whose armor was "too shiny". {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}} At some point during all this, Shockwave or one of his subordinates used Toxitron to "grow" a Matrix shell, which later became part of [[Thunder Mayhem]]. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[Image:Toxic Transformer The Wreckers.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
The mad scientists got complacent and when the primary stasis implant melted, they assumed Toxitron was too conditioned to have realized it. Instead, the mutant was just waiting until a resupply ship arrived at the lab and then he broke free, butchered his tormentors in a very nasty way, and almost reached the ship to escape before the secondary implant kicked in. After that, the lab was abandoned. Toxitron stood immobile and alone until, after [[Thunder Mayhem]] had destroyed Cybertron, the [[Wreckers]] came to recruit him for a revenge mission. He'd been tortured into being a monster and now [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], who openly said he didn't care what Toxie had done as long as he helped fight, was offering him a chance to belong but only to a group of monsters. Toxitron found that bloody funny and agreed to join. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}} Unbeknownst to them, Toxitron was also swayed by the idea of being part of a team, though he wasn't about to let them know that.

After the team recruited two new members, [[Alpha Bravo]] and [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]], Toxitron was recruited by Fractyl as a guinea-pig, hoping his resemblance to Optimus Prime would assist the scientist in an experimental mix of greenergon and a sample of Toxitron's fluids. Toxitron's animated ranting about Thunder Mayhem, and the cruelties of life, caused an accident in the lab.

Later on, after being knocked out with some assistance from Offroad, Toxitron had a special orb installed in him that would allow him to combine with others, along with an other ''special'' device of Impactor's. Afterward, the Wrecker took the motley crew on a daytrip to a Mechcannibal hive. Toxitron, for his part, was overjoyed to see such hideous creatures... at least until they took an interest in the "spicy" mechanoid, proving immune to his deteriorating touch. Before he could be devoured, the team formed the mighty Wreckage for the first time. However, the mesh of psyches proved uncontrollable, and the creation was soon split apart.

After recovering, Toxitron stumbled upon Alpha Bravo, the Autobot having fatally wounded Offroad in an attempt to prevent Wreckage ever forming again. Angered at this, though also impressed by the consequences of the Autobot's actions, Toxitron promptly ran Alpha Bravo through with his sword. In the aftermath, Impactor indicated he'd devised a means of dealing with their combined form if the situation went too far. Outraged at being lied to ''again'', Toxitron went on a rampage through the ship. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[File:LivelyPursuit Wreckers.jpg|thumb|300px]]

The Wreckers followed a signal back to Cybertron, where they met the Autobot gunner known as [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]]. The chatterbox impressed Toxitron, both with his kill record and his penchant not to brag about it, especially after Thunder Mayhem. Bluestreak had met alien terraformers known as the [[Teklaan]]s who offered to restore Cybertron, but betrayed him and placed him in captivity along with the Wreckers. They learned the rejuvenation effect was something of a slow invasion, designed to destroy the planet again within a generation, allowing the Teklaans to claim it according to their programming.

When the Wreckers broke out, Toxitron, Fractyl, and Counterpunch made their way to the planetary rejuvenation emitter in the Teklaan ship. They came up with an idea to absorb and contain the rejuvenation radiation within the crystalline lattice of Toxitron's Greenergon matrix, but it seemed like the energy would be more than Toxitron could handle. Impactor and Bluestreak arrived, having modified themselves for Combination, and it was decided Wreckage might be able to absorb more power than Toxitron alone. The Wreckers combiner was reformed and successfully stopped the terraforming process and destroyed the Teklaan ship. Wreckage also pointedly located and removed Impactor's failsafe device from within the portion of him that was Toxitron. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

Toxitron and the Wreckers received a signal tracking Thunder Mayhem to the planet [[Earth]]. Toxitron used his sludge to ruin the pretty features of the Minion of Unicron known as [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] (Thunder Mayhem's partner), unaware the dimensional hopper may have actually preferred his old, unstable physical condition. {{storylink|Pandora's Gift}} There they teamed up with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and the humans and [[Mega Pretender]]s of another reality to battle Thunder Mayhem. The human [[Lisa|Elizabeth]] used her power to channel Wreckage's energies and shatter the [[Matrix of Malice]], forcing the evil combiner apart. Toxitron and the Wreckers took the Mayhem Attack Squad into custody following that exchange. {{storylink|Finale (OMAM)|Finale}}

:Part of the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#Series 5.0 (2016)|Figure Subscription Service 5.0]], ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' "Wrecker Toxitron" is a [[redeco]] of ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager Class [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]] with the mold's previously unused alternate head. Meanwhile, the larger head for Combiner mode was spliced from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|Optimus Prime]] tooling. Like all ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager Class figures, Toxitron can combine with any compatible Deluxe Class figures, although he is intended to form the torso of [[Wreckage (G1)#Toys|Wreckage]]. His two accessories can combine into a larger sword for his combined mode.

:Toxitron uses the revised version of the hip joints. Despite the ratchet fix however, the other design failures of the original mold related to combining still remain. As an unadvertised feature, [[Blackjack (G1)#Combiner Wars|Blackjack]] (and any of his redecoes) can plug onto the pegs of Toxitron's gestalt chest, though the tension is weak.

:He was released along with [[Punch (G1)#Combiner Wars|Wrecker Counterpunch]] and [[Starscream (SG)#Combiner Wars|Shattered Glass Starscream]].

:Toxitron partly came about when [[Fun Publications]] scrapped tentative plans to do a ''Combiner Wars'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] toy because e-HOBBY did the similar [[Grand Scourge#Toys|''Unite Warriors'' Grand Scourge]].

:*''Accessories'': Energon axe, Energon sword, Matrix, blaster, trailer/battle station

: The headliner of the ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' "[[Transformers: Legacy#Walmart_2|Toxitron Collection]]", "G2 Universe Toxitron" is a [[redeco]] of ''Legacy'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Legacy|Laser Optimus Prime]], transforming into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX tanker truck in Toxitron's acid green and purple color scheme. In robot mode, he has a flip-up chest panel that reveals a removable clear-orange Matrix with a [[5 mm post]] hole on its back, plus his gigantic (sadly nigh-immobile) shoulder pylons have flip-up panels to reveal (non-firing) multi-missile launchers. His sword and axe accessories can combine into one gigantic weapon, and you can even slot the Matrix onto it to boot thanks to the 5 mm-long connector tab on the axe. The axe can also fold up to serve as a trailer-hitch cover in truck mode

: His tanker trailer can convert into a battle station, complete with an adjustable front claw, and a twin-barreled turret which can be unpegged and used elsewhere. The base mode has a whopping eight 5 mm holes on its side panels and two on the tanker end that houses the claw, plus the spot where the twin gun normally goes, meaning you can load it up with guns.

: He sports a ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)| Generation 2]]''-style Decepticon symbol, to fit in with everyone else in the assortment, as they are all styled on unreleased ''Generation 2'' toys... despite Toxitron not being from ''Generation 2''. Oh well, we'll allow it as it makes the overall theming pretty awesome.

:As the sword accessory is designed for this mold's open hands, it cannot be wielded by other figures with closed 5mm hands due to the protruding tab on the handle.

: The ''Toxitron Collection'' was exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the US, with [[Hasbro Pulse]] receiving limited quantities of the figure. Toxitron was one of only three toys in the series to go up for pre-order on [[March 16]], 2023, all three shipped in mid-July. The rest of the assortment was put up for pre-order on Pulse on [[July 22]], just as the toys started to eke out to brick-and-mortar Walmart stores; as of this writing, Walmart has yet to put the rest of the series up for online order.

: This mold was also used to make fellow Walmart exclusive ''Legacy'' [[Scourge (RID)#Legacy|Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe Scourge]].

Studio Series

2026-05-02T12:30:48Z

Theconemann: Updating the wording of this to account for 86 Movie Studio Series toys no longer having their own designated numbering system.

{{nav-studio}}
{{suite}}
[[File:StudioSeries-01-MV1-Deluxe-Bumblebee-w backdrop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|From L'Oreal]]
First revealed at New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], the '''''Transformers: Studio Series''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''') toyline is a celebration under the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' banner of over ten years of [[live-action film series|films]], with characters from every movie represented. It has also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'', and ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'', acting as the collector-oriented tie-in for these films, similar to ''Generations'' for the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' toyline. ''Studio Series'' would later add toys based on ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and video games such as ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''.

In the first seven years of the toyline, each figure was numbered with an indication of their movie of origin and came with a cardboard backdrop–the eponymous "studio"<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's called "Studio Series" partly because Hasbro envisioned fans using the included backdrops as miniature "studios" when taking photos of the toys for social media.|link=https://twitter.com/tfwiki/status/1136078338706104320|name=Transformers Wiki (Matthew Karpowich)|site=Twitter|year=2019|month=06|day=05}}</ref>–depicting a notable scene from their respective fictional appearance. Backdrops were often repeated between separate figures to represent the same scene, and were rescaled accordingly for toys in different [[size class]]es.

With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same size class; within the Deluxe Class, 18 Bumblebee is shorter than 10 Jazz and 01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than 04 Ratchet and 11 Lockdown.

The toyline boasts greater [[show-accuracy|screen-accuracy]] than previous lines, due its focus on relative scale and its making use of CG models pulled from films or games for reference when possible. This approach does fall short for the initial toys from all the concurrent movies though, as they were designed early in their respective film's development.

====Exclusives====
The earliest exclusives in ''Studio Series'' were hit hard by the bankruptcy of [[Toys"R"Us]] in several countries. Thundercracker was only available for a very short window at TRU, and only in store. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was also intended for Toys"R"Us, but ultimately only released that way in Canada, which still had Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. Both releases were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Entertainment Earth]], ToyWiz, and TFSource.

The Bumblebee Then & Now Two-pack was exclusive to [[Target]] and BigBadToyStore in the United States and to Kmart in Australia. The Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later also made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]. The Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set appears to have been an "online exclusive" shared between the same retailers that offered Thundercracker and Bumblebee/Charlie. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was ''also'' available at GameStop stores in the United States, ''and'' both sets were ''also'' listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' ''Previews'' catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from [[Walmart]] or Target.

====Exclusives====
As with the previous year's Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway, the Drift and Baby Dinobots set was available from multiple online retailers. Battle Damaged Megatron was first found stocked by Hong Kong shops, long before it was available both online and in store at Toys"R"Us in Canada and Target in the U.S.

"As Seen In Parks" Megatron was officially exclusive to Universal Studios, but was released (almost a ''year'' after he had been officially revealed) in Hasbro's Asian markets first. Due to the global {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}, the toy was ended up being released exclusively via online retailers in the U.S.

===2020===
[[2020]] ended up being, to date, the final year of the line to focus exclusively on the live-action film series with following years introducing other franchises to ''Studio Series''. This year saw the completion of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Devastator while ''Dark of the Moon'' received a lot of focus ahead of the film's 10th anniversary with toys for major players like Sentinel Prime and Shockwave. Finally, Megatron would receive a toy based on his 2007 design, completing that film's main Decepticon line-up after two years (well, except the tiny [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]).

2020 saw the release of Leadfoot at Target, the enormous Devastator box set at multiple retailers, and the beginnings of the Target exclusive ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line in celebration of everybody's favourite little yellow Autobot.

===2021===
For [[2021]]'s new product, ''Studio Series'' started to include characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary. These toys feature a separate numbering system in Hasbro markets that utilizes "86" before the number of the respective figure. The '86 figures follow the same style, scale and play pattern of those from the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toyline, complete with [[Fire Blast effect|blast effect]] compatibility and [[5 mm post|5 mm port]]s that can support the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. The introduction of '86 figures unfortunately came at the expense of the live-action movie Dinobots who were put on the back burner in favor of the '86 Dinobots. Gnaw also makes the first non-Autobot or Decepticon entry in the toyline.

===2022===
In [[2022]], ''Studio Series'' adopted the Core Class price point that debuted in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline, producing both characters too small for Deluxe Class as well as pocket-sized versions of the main cast like in [[Legends Class (2005)|days of yore]]. Notably, unlike the larger figures in the line, the toys in the Core Class are not numbered.

2022 also saw the first shift in the line’s packaging design, conforming to Hasbro’s initiative to reduce packaging waste. Box sizes were slightly reduced, with plastic clamshells and windows phased out in favor of decorated cardboard backings and small open windows respectively. Leader Class figures switched to a completely closed box design. Core Classes do not have the display backdrops, but retain the new decorated cardboard backings.

====Exclusives====
2022 saw the first in a line of exclusives themed around [[NEST]] in the online exclusive N.E.S.T. Bumblebee, a new assortment of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes from Target, and a special commemorative multi-pack of Autobots for the 15th anniversary of ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' available at [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]].

In late 2022, a second wave of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes were briefly listed by the wholesaler NDA Toys, with accompanying stock renders, and seemed to fill the pair of conspicuous gaps in the ''Studio Series'' numbering system. A listing for a third wavemate was also discovered months later. Unfortunately, Target opted to cancel their release due to poor sales of the previous wave.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/original-plans-for-individual-releases-of-hatchet-and-earth-mode-hound-were-cancelled/48011/ "Original Plans for Individual Releases of Hatchet and Earth Mode Hound were Cancelled"] at Seibertron.</ref> Hound was eventually released in 2024 for ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' and Hatchet and Bumblebee in 2025 for the main ''Studio Series'' line.

===2023===
''Studio Series'' expanded in scope in [[2023]], not only with toys for ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''–the first new ''Transformers'' movie since the line's early days–but also into the world of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game. These "Gamer Edition" toys feature unique packaging and a separate numbering system that we've chosen to represent as beginning with a plus (+), though the actual toy packaging stylizes the symbol as a little D-pad. Neat! It also introduced the Commander Class range of figures from ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', starting with Ultra Magnus, who was revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2023 by [[Flint Dille]].

====Exclusives====
There were further releases in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' this year, some of which continued the range of NEST-themed redecoes, and none of which were released in waves or regular assortments. Another ''Transformers'' 15th anniversary set, this time for most of the Decepticons, was available on Amazon.

===2024===
[[2024]] introduced figures marked as "Concept Art" releases–based on character designs created for films which ultimately did not appear in the finished product. ''Bumblebee'', having left a variety of designs on the cutting room floor during its tumultuous post-production, was the primary source for this initial round of "Concept Art" releases. Figures from the unreleased ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' game would also be added under the "Gamer Edition" banner, sharing its numbering system, while the long-running ''The Transformers: The Movie'' Dinobots lineup came to a close this year with Swoop.

Another addition for 2024 was the "A-Level" assortment, a concept being introduced across multiple Hasbro collector lines to distribute toys of high-profile, in-demand characters outside of the normal wave-based assortments, meaning they can remain available for retailers to order (and thus for fans to buy) for a longer period of time. The inaugural ''Studio Series'' A-Level Deluxe Class case was home to the first toy for the concurrent ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' film; taking advantage of the film's standalone nature, Hasbro chose to decrease the scale of its ''Studio Series'' toys for affordability, placing leaders Optimus Prime and Megatron in Deluxe rather than their more typical Voyager or Leader size classes.<ref>[[April 25]], [[2024]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s06YE02e844 Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream | April 2024] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], and [[Evan Brooks]].</ref>

Leader Class figures would finally adopt the open-window packaging design of the other size classes this year, while thicker cardboard was used for all boxes aside from the Core Class.

Except for the Deluxes, the first wave was made available early alongside ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy United|Legacy: United]]'' products at [[Singapore Comic Con#2023|Cybertron Fest 2023]].

====Exclusives====
With the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding being rotated out of circulation, its signature Target-exclusive cartoon-style redecoes of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toys were released in normal ''Studio Series'' packaging. Another Amazon "15th Anniversary" multipack was released, this time for ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''. Similar to the [[#Exclusives|first year]] of ''Studio Series'', a limited amount of specially painted Optimus Primes were given to people who spent at least HKD$3000 at the Hasbro Hong Kong Fans Expo 2024. There were also Target exclusive reissues of 49 Bumblebee and 51 Soundwave.

===2025===
Beginning with 2025's spring wave, the line's packaging was completely refreshed for the first time, notably seeing a return to plastic windows and the abandonment of the line's signature ID numbers and backdrop displays, on a new design in alignment with the concurrent ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' toyline.<ref>[https://youtu.be/70HJMtOWpk0?list=TLPQMjcxMDIwMjSvhwDwAHRwJQ&t=1092 1027 Hasbro Pulse Premium Event 2024!] with [[Nate Purswell]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Mark Maher]], on the official [[Hasbro Pulse]] Youtube channel</ref> In this vein, the unique "Gamer Edition" branding for video game-based toys was removed. ''Studio Series''’s media-based theming was maintained by featuring backdrop-like artwork on the side of the box and a screenshot or marketing image of the character on the top left of the back of the box.

''Studio Series'' also began shifting from four waves per year to three, reducing the amount of repacked figures in a wave and allowing more time for each wave to stay on shelves. As part of these changes, 2025's initial winter wave served as a sort of stopgap offering, comprised of multiple [[package refresh]]es (including two previously cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxe figures!) and redecoes, functioning like an additional wave of 2024 product prior to the spring relaunch.<ref>"Like United wave 5, this wave is somewhat of a last minute addition while being as cost effective as possible, it’s also why we haven’t seen the updated mainline packaging yet because it’s kind of considered a extension of the 2024 lineup."—[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/hasbro-at-mcm-london-comic-con-25-27-october.1268848/page-15#post-22808424 Jtprime17, TFW2005, 2024/10/26]</ref> Tragically, the Core Class was discontinued.

[[2025]] saw another combiner in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Devastator]]. Learning from previous combiner releases, all six Constructicons were scheduled to be released within one calendar year to make them easier to collect. The toyline also saw the addition of the ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]'' video game, celebrating its tenth anniversary.

====Exclusives====
The "MTMTE Collection" is Target's new subline of exclusives in North America, replacing ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''. Overload's product description also labelled it as the "Power Collection." Amazon continued its trend of faction-based "15th anniversary" sets, though such branding has been omitted from this year's packaging. Similar to last year, the Hasbro Hong Kong Fans Expo 2025 saw another limited run of hand-painted Optimus Primes given out for for spending at least HKD$5000 at the booth.

===2026===
[[2026]] would finally see the introduction of Titan Class to ''Studio Series'' with a remake of ''Age of Extinction'' Grimlock after 8 years, along with a promise to actually finish his [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot team]] this time around. In a sort of trade, ''Studio Series'' getting the annual Titan release saw its usual Commander figure being moved to ''Age of the Primes'' to give it two figures in the price point. ''Studio Series'' also saw the addition of the [[Energon Universe]], the toyline's first endeavor into ''Transformers'' comics. The year also had a heavy focus on ''The Transformers: The Movie'' figures for the film's 40th anniversary, notably featuring a stylistic change to new molds and retools of characters from this film: heavily reducing the extra sculpted details carried over from the [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]] design philosophy in the name of better screen-accuracy. This did not preclude them from reusing molds from that era, however.

==TakaraTomy ''Studio Series'' toyline==
Similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in Takara's '''''Transformers Studio Series''''' (トランスフォーマースタジオシリーズ ''Toransufōmā Sutajio Shirīzu'') line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]], much like the ''[[Transformers: Masterpiece Movie Series|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro releases, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan. Introduced to the line in 2021, Takara includes characters from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' in its pre-existing ''Studio Series'' numbering system, whereas Hasbro assigns them ID numbers prefixed by "86". Takara also assigns ID numbers to Core Class figures, which go unnumbered in Hasbro markets. From wave 4 through wave 12, the packages featured the franchise's 35th anniversary logo. Toys would eventually use entirely closed boxes starting with wave 29.

{{note|Toys in italics are exclusive to the TakaraTomy line.}}

====Second phase====
Beginning in July 2025, TakaraTomy switched to different packaging, matching Hasbro's switch. With this, it was decided to reset the numbering, with new initials '''TS''' standing for '''Transformers Series''' (トランスフォーマーシリーズ)<ref>https://twitter.com/TF_pr/status/1886973512122032413</ref>.

===''Premium Finish''===
{{nav-pf}}
In 2021, TakaraTomy decided to go back to its old ways and launched the short-lived ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' toyline, featuring re-releases of some ''Studio Series'' figures with much more movie-accurate decoes. This line has its own numbering system, and, with the exception of the first Bumblebee, also notes the figure's movie of origin. ''Premium Finish'' was imported to western markets via [[Hasbro Pulse]].

==Merchandise==
A wearable Bumblebee helmet was released as a Target exclusive, tying into the ''Bumblebee'' film, similar to the Optimus Prime helmet made for ''The Last Knight''. A series of [[Jada Toys]] ''Hollywood Rides'' vehicles were also made to tie into ''Studio Series'', using the toyline's packaging style and even a couple of backdrop artworks, though they were also released in generic non-''Studio Series'' packaging.

In 2026, role play items made a return with a Matrix of Leadership for the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers: The Movie''.

==Notes==
*In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very ''existence'' of the ''Studio Series'' general retail line-up, though not the actual title "Studio Series" yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for "2017" instead of 2018 (which included dates ''predating'' the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. It wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro ''finally'' acknowledged the existence of the ''Studio Series'' line, and revealed the first few [[wave]]s during New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website. Simultaneously, [[TakaraTomy]] revealed their version of the line at [[Wonder Festival]] Winter 2018.
*Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were ''not'' officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their "[[Hasbro Pulse]]" Instagram account a few days before [[San Diego Comic-Con]], even though they ''still'' hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
*Like with previous movie-based lines, ''Studio Series'' also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. In 2018, the "theme" for those code names was "Australian race horses":
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Stryker"
:::*Dropkick: "Blue Lightning" or "Blue Light"
:::*Megatron: "Fox"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Radar"
:::*KSI Sentry: "Sentry"
:::*Shadow Raider: "Mercenary"
:::*Shatter: "Red Lightning" or "Red Light"
}}
:The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even ''had'' code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Barricade]] from the [[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|''Bumblebee'' movie toyline]], with which the ''Studio Series'' shares its code names.
*A few of the Deluxes and Voyagers of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Generations .28Series M4.29|previous]] [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|two]] movie toylines scale fairly well with ''Studio Series'' figures. To this extent, [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 5|a]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|few]] [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|molds]] [[Cogman#Deluxe|were]] also redecoed in this toyline as well [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|as a]] [[Drift (AOE)#Premier Edition|few]] [[Berserker#Toys|retools]]. Furthermore, the static figurine of [[Quintessa (TLK)#Toys|Quintessa]] scales well among these toys and also seems to serve as an inspiration for later pack-in figurines like [[Wheelie (ROTF)#Studio Series|Wheelie]], [[Brains#Studio Series|Brains]], and the [[Mini Dinobot#Toys|Mini Dinobot]]s.
*One of the biggest [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|misconceptions]] surrounding the ''Studio Series'' toyline is that there is a [[Subline imprint|subline]] called "Studio Series 86". This came about from leaked listings on Walmart's website where the number "86" was misinterpreted as part of the toyline's title, rather than the ID numbers of those toys. While the toys based on characters from the [[1986]] movie did feature a separate numbering system up until the 2025 packaging redesign, the line itself doesn't acknowledge them as being any different from the live-action movie toys they are sold alongside. That being said, ''‘86'' as a shorthand for ''The Transformers: The Movie'' figures saw widespread use amongst fans and even the toy designers, eventually appearing in official marketing material as well.<ref>[[July 25]], [[2025]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T18IQaMuGVk?t=1038 Transformers Brand Panel Recap | SDCC 2025 | Hasbro Pulse] on YouTube, with [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Nate Purswell]].</ref>
**While it has never been confirmed, the move to include 1986 characters in the ''Studio Series'' toyline after three years of continuous focus on the live-action films, was likely done to allow Hasbro and TakaraTomy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film, without stepping on the toes of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' 25th anniversary, which was celebrated as a part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''. Evidence suggesting this is the inclusion of some of the film's main characters ([[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Cyclonus]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Galvatron]]) being sold in the concurrently-ran ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline and the shared design aesthetics of the toys between both lines.
*Due to the cancellation of Hound, the toyline's numbering system is missing 86-18. Additionally, 79, 86-13, 86-20, 95, and 96 are only assigned to the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' version of the line.
**74 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee and 102 ''Rise of the Beasts'' Optimus Prime are the only toys to be re-released in the regular line after debuting in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''.
**TakaraTomy's version of the line has skipped over "72" for unknown reasons.
**Junkion Scrapheap and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Ironhide both use the 86-24 number. Optimus Prime and Galvatron also share the number 86-31.
*The last wave to use ID numbers in 2025 was quite a mess. Perhaps they just gave up in the face of its impending doom.
**As mentioned above, Galvatron reused Optimus Prime's number of 86-31.
**Hatchet's original ID number for his cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' release was 94. When he was finally released 2 years later, his packaging had the number 117, but his product description and instructions still used 94.
**The original ID number for the cancelled Bumblebee from the same wave is unknown, as there are no other gaps that it might have occupied. The main line release's product description and stock photos used 117 like Hatchet, but 116 is the only number present on the final product.
**Apelinq's stock photos, product description, backdrop, and instructions use 116, while only the box (and a small number of backdrops) uses 118, the last number in Hasbro's line.
*The instructions of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Worlds Collide]]" set mistakenly label it as part of ''Studio Series'', under the ''Transformers'' movie.
*The introduction of the "Gamer Edition" banner led Hasbro to review the full back catalogue of [[video games]] they retained ownership over, including more esoteric options, such as the [[Family Computer|Nintendo Famicom]] ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy]]'' or the [[Nintendo 64]] ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (N64)|Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals]]!''<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Pretty much all of it.

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#BWN|Beast Wars Neo]]'' toyline, the Matrix Cannon is an electronic [[roleplay toy]] gun. Pulling the trigger causes the gun to make a shooting noise and launch a small, red "energy bullet" projectile within the sealed dome running down the barrel towards the large orange and purple Matrix Core at the end. If an energy bullet makes it into the Matrix Core hole, the red energy counter light on top will flash briefly and a higher pitched shooting noise is made. Once a total of four energy bullets make it into the Matrix Core hole the two red lights on the side flash and a longer noise is made showing you achieved maximum power! Since the Matrix Core rotates as the gun is aimed up and down, using the sight on the back of the dome can help with lining up shots. If the user runs out of energy bullets to fire in the launch chamber, the shooting noise will not be made. Pulling the refill lever on the left side of the gun will cause them to refill and shoot again. Images on the back of the Matrix Cannon packaging shows the dome was originally intended to more clear then the darker version the release has.

Nemesis Prime (G1)

[[File:All Spark chpt 06 black optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"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 Prime''' is the dark mirror of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], striking terror into his victims' hearts while wearing the face of their hero. He is imbued with many of the [[Autobot]] leader's abilities, but lacks all moral restraint. His nature varies between universes: sometimes he is a [[Cloning|clone]] built by Decepticons or [[Doctor Arkeville|human mad scientists]], in others he's a twisted future incarnation of [[Nova Prime]] or even Optimus Prime himself, corrupted by sources of evil like [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] or the [[Dead Universe]]. Regardless, there is one thing that never changes: Nemesis brings dread and destruction wherever he goes. His only friends are the [[Battle Master]]s [[Giza (POTP)|Giza]] and [[Fangtron]].

He also hates [[Christmas]].

===''Alternators'' toy bio===
[[File:AltNemesisPrimeArt.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|[[Serpentor|THIS, I COMMAND]]!]]

[[Doctor Arkeville]] spent years personally constructing Nemesis Prime piece by stolen piece, hiding his handiwork from both [[Concurrence]] agents and the Decepticons. Designed to be the ultimate military commander, he had arguably the mightiest [[Binaltech (technology)|Binaltech]] Transformer 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.<ref>[http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=6142 Nemesis Prime's ''Alternators'' bio.] This was not on the toy's packaging, but rather distributed online to Transformers news sites to promote the figure's availability at San Diego Comic-Con. It was later confirmed to be the work of [[Hasbro]] copywriter Forest Lee.{{fact}}</ref>

===''Story of Binaltech''===
Dr. Arkeville, seeking to create an evil leader greater than [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], 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 a [[Spark|mysterious orb]] which touched the clone body, causing the clone to both activate and vanish.

Meanwhile, on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]], the Autobots were enacting [[Operation: Distant Thunder]] to undo the changes that [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] had 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 "the [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Protector]]". His mission was to preserve the Binaltechs, as their existence would, in the future, bring about the [[Alternity (species)|Alternity]], 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. {{storylink|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 the [[Earth Defense Command]] base on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], 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 Decepticon [[insignia]], but just as they were about to battle, across the galaxy, on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] accomplished his mission to activate the [[Quintesson]]-created [[Large switch|killswitch]], 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. {{storylink|Kill Switch}}

Seeking to make himself a true match for Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime schemed to create an artificial [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] by 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 in [[Australia]], Nemesis Prime was thwarted by a contingent of Autobots led by Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra 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. {{storylink|Unfinished Business, Part 4}}

===''Universe'' toy bio===
[[File:NemesisPrimebox.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|"They'll never guess I'm evil."]]
Nemesis Prime was the product of a mad plan by [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], 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 of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and targeting both Autobots and Decepticons in his murderous insanity.<ref>[http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=496&ST=SO&ID=22380&PG=1 ''Universe Classic Series'' Nemesis Prime's on-package bio]</ref>

After spotting a fragment of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s body floating in space, the bodiless [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] swallowed 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 to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where he joined the [[Decepticon]] ranks after killing many Autobots and acquired the "Nemesis Prime" moniker. When Unicron's head neared Cybertron, Nemesis Prime barged into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s [[Energy Dock]] and slaughtered the Decepticons stationed there while absorbing the energy into his [[Dead Matrix]] to bring about Unicron's resurrection. The Autobots were alerted to the battle, and Nemesis Prime faced off against Optimus Prime himself. {{storylink|Story of Black Convoy}}

===Loyal Subjects figure bio===
Nemesis Prime took the form of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and 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.

The [[Optimus Prime (G1)#The Battle for Planet Earth|Optimus Prime]] of [[Primax 085.0 Eta]] was abducted by [[Megatron (G1)#The Battle for Planet Earth|Megatron]]'s [[Renegade Decepticon]]s to another reality and subjected to a stolen [[Brainwave Scanner]] stolen from Professor [[Peter Anthony Morris|Morris]]. The Decepticons used it to turn Optimus Prime into Nemesis Prime, who turned the defense systems of the [[Spychanger|Spy Changer]]s' base against them. {{storylink|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2016/05/12}} Subsequently, however, Nemesis Prime made a play for leadership of the Decepticons, gaining the loyalty of [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Crash Test (G2)|Crash Test]]. [[Wheeljack (G1)#The Battle for Planet Earth|Wheeljack]] mused that turning Optimus evil may not have been the Decepticons' best idea. {{storylink|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2016/05/19}}

[[File:WFC-Kingdom-Ep6-Nemesis-Prime-sees-Allspark-spirits.jpg|thumb|left|300px|...and all I got was this lousy [[black repaint|edgelord color scheme]].]]
After a nearly endless war that resulted in the [[AllSpark]] parting from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for good, {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}} [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] killed [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], lamenting that they should have worked together. Afraid of the possibility of this occurring in the past, {{storylink|Kingdom episode 5}} [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] resurrected and enslaved Optimus as Nemesis Prime. As the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s died out, Unicron and his minions were a constant threat to the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] {{storylink|Kingdom episode 6}} that emerged from the uninhabitable Cybertron. Both groups eventually time-traveled to the prehistoric [[Earth]], with the Predacons seeking to change the future. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}}

While the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' was stranded in the [[Dead Universe]], a humbled [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] showed Optimus Prime a vision of a possible future where he died and fell down a dark path, becoming Nemesis Prime. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 5}} When the ''Ark'' crashed on prehistoric Earth, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] led an attack on its crew, believing Prime to be Nemesis Prime. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}} Prime recognized the fear in the Primal's eyes when he saw him as the same reason he called the Autobot leader "Nemesis". {{storylink|Kingdom episode 3}} While stranded on Earth, the Allspark, as a projection of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], recognized Optimus Prime as its "nemesis" and attacked him. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 4}} [[Megatron (BW)|Predacon Megatron]] would also recognize Prime as Nemesis Prime, believing he could be using Primal just as much as the original Megatron was using the Predacon leader. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 5}}

[[File:WFC-Kingdom-Ep6-Unicron-punishes-Galvatron-Nemesis.jpg|thumb|300px|Pretty much what happens when you don't live in a society.]]

Nemesis Prime eventually conspired with [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to 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 the ''Ark'' returned to Cybertron, Optimus Prime's vision in the Dead Universe came true, and Nemesis Prime tracked down the AllSpark and battled both Optimus and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]. As he was joined by Galvatron and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], 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 of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-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. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 6}}

====''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' marketing material====
Closer than ever to reaching the [[AllSpark]], the Decepticons awakened after crash-landing on pre-[[Ice Age]] [[Earth]]. While battling the Autobots, both sides were joined by the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], their epic battle changing their combined destinies. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}<ref name="kingdom">[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/kingdom ''Kingdom'' webpage]</ref>

Nemesis Prime was a [[Cybertronian military insignia|Ground Command Infantry General]], {{storylink|#War for Cybertron: Siege|''Siege'' toy packaging}} whose function was the dark future of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], and [[trans-scan]]ned into an Earth truck. His [[Dark Matrix of Leadership|Dark Matrix]] and dark [[ion blaster]] were his powers and weapons, and his core traits were his maliciousness, brutality, desperation, and single-mindedness. Nemesis Prime's message from the future was that his existence will be threatened when Optimus Prime fights his dark future. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}<ref name="kingdom" />

The result of forbidden [[Cloning|cyber-cloning]] experiments, 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. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Nemesis Prime bio}}

When Nemesis first arrived on earth, he promptly proclaimed who he was to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].

Aligned with neither faction, Nemesis Prime stole the [[Artifacts of the Primes]] in order to become more powerful. However during his escape from Cybertron with the artifacts his ship was shot down by the planet's defenses, causing the artifacts to be scattered across space. Damaged from the failed heist, Nemesis went into hiding in order to repair himself. His actions lead to the Autobots and Decepticons competing in race like battles known as the Galactic Trials in order to locate the artifacts. Eventually the Autobots were successfully able to retrieve all of them before Nemesis Prime could finish repairing himself. Though victorious, the threat of Nemesis' return was far from over. {{storylink|Transformers: Galactic Trials}}

: Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Basic figures, Scourge is a simplified [[Spychanger]]-styled version of his larger toy. Aside from being the only all-new tooling toy of the character, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly. He was only available in a 2-pack with a similarly-styled version of [[X-Brawn#Spychanger|X-Brawn]].

: As with most of the new ''Robots in Disguise'' releases, the X-Brawn / Scourge pack was available in Japan as a "USA Edition" mass-released toy.

: This mold was later redecoed ''both'' as Generation 1 "Spy Changer" [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Optimus Prime]] in the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' toyline, and as "Movie" [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus Prime Figure|Optimus Prime]] for a Japanese pack-in DVD exclusive.

: Black Convoy is the first ''Binaltech'' release since [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] in 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 upon ''Kiss Players'' Convoy'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 Robots [[Scourge (RID)|Black 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 the ''Alternators'' line. However, he came with no character or packaging art.

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Evolution Nemesis Prime" is an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]-exclusive retool of ''Power of the Primes'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Power of the Primes|Optimus Prime]] with two new heads—the evolution one based on ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Toxitron (G1)#Generations|Toxitron]]'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 into '''Nemesis Pax''' and is able to form the core of Nemesis Prime's robot mode, while the trailer forms Nemesis Prime's entire body. His [[ion blaster]] can 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 any [[Prime Master]].

:He includes a pair of blasters that can be mounted on his forearms ([[Homage|homaging]] ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]]) or on his trailer (in the fashion of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#PMOP|Powermaster 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 the [[Giza (Prime)|Arms Micron partner]] of [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|''Prime'' Nemesis Prime]]).

:Unlike other ''Power of the Primes'' figures, Nemesis Prime does not include a collector card featuring a [[Prime Master/Combinations|Prime Master power description]].

:Like his moldmate Optimus, Nemesis Prime is prone to having a small number of [[quality control]] issues. 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.

*'''Nemesis Prime''' ([[March 28]], [[2020]])
**''Accessories:'' Ancient Sword, "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster"

:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Nemesis Prime is (inevitably) a [[black repaint]] of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Voyager Class Optimus Prime mold]], transforming from robot to short-smokestacked Cybertronian armored truck and back. He also comes with the [[Ion blaster]] (the only weapon for this release) compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], and the "Ancient Sword", redecoed from the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Alpha Trion/toys#Titans Return|Alpha Trion]] figure. Unlike most of the ''Siege'' brethren, Nemesis Prime is practically spotless, but retains multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:In vehicle mode, opening the figure's windows shows the [[Dark Matrix of Leadership|Dark Matrix]] molded into the plastic behind the windows (of course, it was the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Matrix of Leadership]] on 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 a ''Power of the Primes'' Matrix core (and by extension, a [[Prime Master]] or [[Titan 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 through [[EB Games]] and [[Zing]] in 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 with ''Siege'' Optimus 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.

{{toydesigner|[[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

:Promoting the ''Earthrise'' chapter of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Leader Unboxing set contains a redeco of ''Siege'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Optimus Prime]] as Nemesis Prime. The figure comes with ''Siege'' Optimus's "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster" (but not his "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield") and various rehashed extras, in an attempt to justify the price. These include: a redecoed trailer from ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]; the Dark Saber, [[Giza (POTP)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Giza]], and oversized forearm blaster accessories, all from the [[#Power_of_the_Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Evolution Leader Class toy]]; [[Fangtron#Toys|Fangtron]], a [[redeco]] of ''Earthrise'' Battle Master [[Slitherfang#Toys|Slitherfang]], along with their blast effect part; and a [[Play-Doh]]-like compound through which a buyer can dig to reveal energon cubes, rereleased from those included with ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Ultra Magnus's]] Spoiler Pack. Fangtron and the Combat Deck ramp are both compatible with the [[A.I.R. Lock System]], as the former can turn into a ramp or a shield for Nemesis Prime. The toy also features a different deco to the above TakaraTomy Mall exclusive: he is molded in charcoal-colored plastic instead of black, 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.<ref>[http://www.toyboxsoapbox.com/2018/11/13/transformers-siege-voyager-optimus-prime-review/ "At some convention somewhere one Hasbro rep let slip that Siege Optimus Prime also had a hidden hover truck mode."] on Toybox Soapbox</ref>

:The Hasbro stock photography for the truck mode is also ''laughably'' mistransformed, with the robot mode crotch being plainly visible, an error that requires 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 same line's [[Soundwave_(G1)/toys#2020Netflix|Soundwave]] and [[Megatron_(G1)/Generations_toys#War_for_Cybertron_Trilogy|Megatron]], this Nemesis is prone to [[photodegradation]]. Over time, his unpaintable POM joints become yellowed.

:Much like previous Spoiler Pack, this set is in a windowless box designed to look like an ammo crate and features translatable [[Cybertronian language|Ancient 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 from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] in [[Earthrise episode 5]]. The lateral side of the package also features the artwork of Nemesis Prime, edited from the art of ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime. Compared to the previous Spoiler Pack, the packaging itself has no plastic insert.

:This set is a shared exclusive between online retailers and [[Walmart]] in 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 the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'']] animated series, this figure [[repurposing|represents]] an Optimus Prime fallen to darkness, not an evil clone.

His transformation shares engineering with the [[#Thrilling 30|''Thrilling 30'' Legends figure]], but with sculpted detailing directly based on the ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime mold, down to details like the ''vestigial knee flaps'' from the ''Siege'' mold. 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 from ''Kingdom'' WFC-K11 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#K11|Optimus Prime]]'s packaging. He's also towing said trailer backward.

:A redeco of [[Threezero]]'s [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#MDLX|MDLX 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 the [[Creation Matrix]] in one of its two callouts.

:Like [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Threezero|Cliffjumper]] before him, Nemesis was released in the United States as a ''PX Previews'' exclusive.

:He was also redecoed into [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Threezero|Ultra Magnus]]. Nemesis is also compatible with [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#MDLX|Starscream]]'s wing assembly and head sculpt, which can be plugged into his back and swapped with, respectively.

:[[Nendoroid]] Nemesis Prime is a [[super deformed]], non-converting figure redecoed from [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Nendoroid|Optimus Prime]].

:As with most Nendoroids, Nemesis Prime can interchange body parts with compatible figures, and comes with an alternative "pointing hand" accessory to aid with specific posing. The figure is packed with an Ion blaster and an Energon-axe, the latter of which replaces Nemesis's hand when wielded. He also features articulation at the head, knees, shoulders, elbows, and even his chest.

:This sculpt was produced by Toyhouse with Nendoron's supervision.

:''[[Kotobukiya]] [[Bishoujo Series]]'' Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime is a repaint and slight retool of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Kotobukiya Bishoujo Series|Optimus Prime]] from the same line of PVC figures. In addition to being recolored in the usual Nemesis black and teal, she has been given a new face sculpt, and the Optimus figure's trailer briefcase has been swapped out for a bright red energy sword.

:Like Optimus, ''Bishoujo Series'' Nemesis Prime also comes with an alternate [[Mouthplate|masked]] head piece, and is attached to a purple display base designed after the Decepticon insignia.

:The figure was a limited release, only available via Kotobukiya's website and at specific events, such as the 2023 Anime Expo convention.

:*''Accessories'': Stand, [[Ion blaster]], [[Energon-axe]], [[Matrix of Leadership]], Megatron gun mode.

:Released as part of Yolopark's AMK Pro line, this "Limited Edition" Nemesis Prime is a [[black redeco]] of 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 the ''Masterpiece'' Black 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====
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Nemesis Prime''' (2024)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': 2 additional pairs of hands (Splayed, Pointing), [[Ion blaster]]

:First released for the ''AMK Mini Series'' blind 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.

: As a blind-boxed figure, the line-up had a 1/60 probability of obtaining Nemesis Prime, which was 30 times more than Skywarp. However, Nemesis Prime has also been released individually in a single box, with initial sightings in the Filipino market in July 2025.

:Released in the fourth wave of the ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, ''[[Blokees]]'' Nemesis is a roughly 4-inch-tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Decepticon clone, redecoed from parts of the first wave's Optimus Prime. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Nemesis has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases. Despite what the instructions depict regarding the retooled secure joint, Nemesis still utilizes the circular hinge connection for his head and faceplate construction.

:As a redeco of the ''Galaxy Version'' Optimus Prime kit, Nemesis retains the peg holes for the jetpack from the ''Shining Version'' Sideswipe kit.

:In addition to the 2 pairs of closed and open hands, Nemesis also comes with a new set of weapons replacing the original mold's Ion Blaster and Energon Axe, namely the twin forearm blasters and the [[Dark Saber]] modeled after his accessories from the [[Nemesis_Prime_(G1)#Power_of_the_Primes|''Power of the Primes'']] toy.

==Notes==
*[[Forest Lee|The author of Nemesis Prime's ''Alternators'' bio]] has said that the "extra-spatial source" that Arkeville tapped into was actually a pocket dimension that served as [[Unicron]]'s power battery—and that Unicron gave Arkeville exactly what he wanted, in the form of a [[spark]] fragment from Unicron's [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|own attempt at cloning an Optimus Prime]].{{fact}}
*Nemesis Prime's ''Universe'' bio seems directly inspired by the Marvel UK "[[Two Megatrons!]]" storyline, which revealed that Straxus had rebuilt a "[[Archforce|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 to [[Hasbro]] copy writer [[Forest Lee]], the reference to Straxus was included in Comic-Con 2008 Nemesis Prime's bio entirely to make [[David Willis]] happy.
*Stellar Converter Cannons are also weapons found on the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Primus]] toy.
*The Loyal Subjects figure had 2 bios: a short version copied verbatim from the ''Armada'' [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]] article and a longer original write-up that includes a bizarre Christmas-themed rampage.
*The ''Masterpiece'' Black Convoy toy is used to represent a Decepticon truck transporting [[Megatron (G1)|GT-R Megatron]] to a race in the [[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (story page)|''Transformers GT'' story pages]], though there is no indication it's actually him.
*[[Fun Publications]] scrapped preliminary plans to do a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Nemesis Prime toy from [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]] because TakaraTomy effectively did so with [[Grand Scourge#Toys|''Unite Warriors'' Grand Scourge]] from [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|Optimus Prime]].

Photodegradation

2025-11-09T21:45:13Z

Theconemann: It's been 17 years so it's a well established method at this point.

[[Image:Topspin yellowed.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Once you go yellow, you never go back.]]
[[Image:Tigatronyellowed.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Guess what mode this toy was left in!]]
'''Photodegradation''', more commonly referred to by toy collectors as "yellowing", is the phenomenon by which the [[plastic]]s in a [[Toy|Transformers toy]] grow discolored over time. The process is generally started by exposure to ultraviolet light, whether from natural sunlight or fluorescent lighting. Photodegradation is most noticeable on figures with bright white or light grey plastics, although it actually happens to virtually all colors (when blue plastics photodegrade, it is often referred to as "greening" since that's generally the end result).

There is no hard and fast way to determine which individual figures will be more susceptible to it. A [[Jetfire (G1)/toys|Jetfire]] opened once, then left in a closet for 20 years seems just as likely to be affected as one left sitting on a shelf for the same amount of time. Since yellowing is a function of the plastic itself decomposing with age, it can still strike toys that have been kept in complete darkness for prolonged periods of time. Furthermore, different pieces of identically-colored plastic on the ''same toy'' can photodegrade differently, resulting in a [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] with a normally colored canopy and discolored legs. Areas covered by [[decal]]s are typically unaffected. As manufacturing changes over the years, the time for onset of photodegradation can also change, as discussed further below.

Photodegradation is not to be confused with cigarette smoke residue, which also leaves a yellowish cast on plastic (and can be removed with toothpaste or other products designed to remove cigarette stains) or sun damage, a bleaching effect caused by exposure to direct sunlight (which more commonly affects packaging materials).

==Treatment Options==
The Transformers fandom has struggled with this issue for [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_frm/thread/e7f1387b0fa24b51/9bee2fe815faff64?lnk=st&q=yellowed+group%3Aalt.toys.transformers#9bee2fe815faff64 ages], and despite having the answer [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_frm/thread/d8622dceed52a2e3/0918518b00349f33?lnk=st&q=yellowed+group%3Aalt.toys.transformers#0918518b00349f33 for some time], fans still often tinker with various concoctions hoping to reverse this scourge. Simply put, if a liberal amount of denture cream/household cleanser/virgin blood gets the toy white again, it wasn't photodegradation, it was your common everyday grime that you removed. Some people have experimented with physically removing layers of plastic from toys (via fine-grit sandpaper) to remove photodegradation, but this seems like a temporary fix at best (and one that actually may damage the toy ''more'').

However, [http://archive.thetf.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=13204 a much more promising technique] surfaced on discussion boards in December 2008. This method consists of immersing the yellowed figures in a clear container (plastic or glass) full of a hydrogen peroxide solution, then leaving it exposed to direct sunlight for varying lengths of time. Test runs have indeed shown that figures displaying substantial photodegradation were largely or entirely restored to their original pigments. Though the technique has not yet been evaluated by [[Quickmix (G1)|professional chemists]], the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] are already plotting to steal the [[Corrostop|miracle cure]] for themselves.

Note that even these dramatic results are more of a treatment than a cure: [http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2013-01-15-retr0bright-only-temporary.htm even plastic that is treated, then kept in darkness with an airtight surface cover (such as a coat of varnish) will eventually turn yellow again.] ''C'est la vie.''

===A few caveats===
*As of June 2016, there have been no reports that the hydrogen peroxide technique causes embrittlement or any other collateral damage to the toys. What ''has'' been confirmed is that the yellowing will eventually and inevitably return. The TFWiki will ''not'' be held responsible for any damage your toys may incur from trying this technique.
*Strong solutions of hydrogen peroxide are ''very nasty business'', requiring proper safety precautions: thick gloves, goggles, and ample ventilation. '''The TFWiki will ''not'' be held responsible if you turbo-revvin' young punks mishandle the stuff and require hospitalization and skin grafts.'''

==Recent developments==
===Unpaintable plastics===
[[File:CHUG-TF-photodegradations.jpg|thumb|300px]]
For reasons not fully explained, very rapid photodegradation has become more common since approximately the advent of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'' and ''[[Studio Series]]'' toylines in 2018 and thereafter. Where the plastic decay would once have taken years or even decades to become noticeable, there have now been widespread reports of figures such as ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Deluxe Class [[Arcee (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Arcee]], ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Grimlock]], and many, ''many'' others yellowing in just a matter of months — as well as sightings of ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SS82|''Bumblebee'' Ratchet]] visibly yellowed while still [[Mint in sealed box|packaged and newly-arrived on store shelves]], having decayed in just the time it took to ship from [[Asia]]! Another toy that frequently displayed photodegradation straight out of the box was ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' [[Motormaster (G1)#Legacy|Motormaster]], which many collectors found particularly displeasing as it was a [[Size class|Commander Class toy]] with an MSRP of $90. Notably, this issue seems to be affecting [[unpaintable plastic]]s specifically.

Hasbro has attributed this issue to the worldwide {{w|COVID-19}} pandemic, making it difficult for them to send dedicated [[quality control]] agents to their factories in [[Vietnam]]…<ref>Yellowing on recent figures – Aware, researching the issue. Has been seen by Mark and the team, and forwarded to engineering for research. Feedback and specifics are always welcome to help narrow down the problem. The Pandemic restricted traveling to Asia for quality checks. — [https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/04/20/transformers-brand-team-fan-roundtable-legacy-reveal-edition-454263#images TFW2005 summary of Transformers Fan Roundtable on April 20, 2022]</ref> ''however'', as stated above, this problem was first noticed a few years before the pandemic travel disruptions began. A common theory among the [[fandom]] is that a fire retardant within the nylon chemical buildup is the cause of this phenomenon and reacts to heat or humidity, causing the plastic to yellow. There was even one case in {{SITENAME SHORT}}'s community [https://discord.gg/tfwiki Discord server] where—what is believed to be—the yellowy-colored fire retardant chemical seeping out of a seam in an individual's ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#2020Netflix|Soundwave]]'s knee! Gross. This was most notable as their figure never suffered the same fate of the rapid yellowing that just about everyone else had endured, likely due to the cause seeping out of the plastic instead.

Well-documented victims include:

This list is not definitive; discoloration of varying degrees—from small spots to fully discolored parts—has been seen on various other figures since 2020, just less consistently. It should also be noted that sometimes, unpaintable plastic is simply a few shades different from similarly colored plastics and is not always an immediate sign of yellowing.

===Paint operations===
Also among the aforementioned developments is an odd phenomenon involving white and off-white [[Paint operation|paint applications]] yellowing. Prior to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''-era of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys, white paint was typically the only thing to last on an all-white figure, with notable examples being Generation 1 toys like [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Jetfire]] and [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ratchet]] (''and'' his reissues), having unchanged, pure white-painted [[die-cast]] parts, even after the white plastics have long since yellowed… or even ''oranged'' in some extreme cases. Figures from other toylines such as [[Jetfire (Armada)#Energon|''Energon'' Jetfire]], who use white paint for accents on other colored plastics, tend to stay unchanged, while the molded white plastic parts around them have yellowed to all hell.

So far there are only a few minor cases of this happening, notably [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Studio Series|''Studio Series'' {{'}}86 Jazz]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''War for Cybertron: Earthrise'' Wheeljack]], where their other colored plastic parts (both opaque and translucent), have had the white paint applications yellow very lightly over just a short period of time. This would seem to suggest that a new paint mixture is being used when compared to the figures of prior toylines. The reason for the yellowing is—much like the issue above—unknown, but the theory is that it is some form of photodegradation.
