- Nominus Prime is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Nominus Prime is a little-known figure. Unfortunately, what we know includes that he was a douche.
Fiction
IDW Comics continuity
Nominus Prime assumed office sometime after the disappearance of Nova Prime into the Benzuli Expanse. Under his rule, Cybertron was a planet full of corruption, social apartheid, and general oppression: a Cybertronian citizen's role in life was determined by the body he was built in, and the handful of elites (particularly the military) would step down on that citizen's face... forever.
A young, idealistic Megatron wrote a political tract advocating non-violent resistance: After the Ark: Nominus Prime and the Illusion of Progress. This happened shortly before, in Optimus's words, "all that Nominus Prime business" Chaos Theory Part 2, a where Nominus was attacked and seriously injured by a suicide bomber. Although he was not killed, he was in critical condition following the attack. It was revealed afterward by a Senator friend of Optimus' (then Orion Pax) that the organization responsible for sending the bomber was actually affiliated with the Cybertronian Senate itself. The corrupt Senate's intent was to obtain a valid excuse to send Nominus into hiding, and give themselves "unfettered" access to the life-giving Matrix. Can't forget that it also gave them a good excuse to be even more controlling, and implement the Clampdown. Chaos Theory Part 2
Sentinel, the Senate's top thug, took the office of Prime not long after. So we can guess Nominus didn't live too long... Megatron Origin #1
Notes
- The presence of another Prime this close to Megatron Origin indicates that Sentinel did not last long in his job.
- Just like poor Zeta Prime, Nominus wasn't included in the lineage of Primes depicted in "Spotlight: Optimus Prime". In real life, this is because he was created after "Spotlight: Optimus Prime" had been published. In that Spotlight, we hear that the Primes are ideals that embody the ages they reign in, which is probably an in-story reason for why Optimus doesn't want to visualize the bastard...
