I agree with [[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]]. When was the last time Nova used his Nemesis Prime colour scheme? It would have been back in the -ation series, right? Seems to me like an odd mistake to make in 2016-2017. I'm of the opinion that the decision to colour Nova in his Nemesis colour scheme was a little nod to the common "mirror universe" trope of alternate colour schemes, and not a colouring error. --[[User:LordGigaIce|LordGigaIce]] ([[User talk:LordGigaIce|talk]]) 16:35, 23 February 2017 (EST)

Not sure why it's assumed Nova Prime's colors are an error when this is a different timeline. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 17:33, 22 February 2017 (EST)

It's a divergent timeline. History is the same up to Megatron's creation, then splits off. Escargon (talk) 17:40, 22 February 2017 (EST)
I guess I'm not 100% certain it's as straightforward as that. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 18:34, 22 February 2017 (EST)
...why wouldn't it be? The issues where it debuted all but state that outright. And for all their time-hopping, Brainstorm and his pursuers never make it to Nova's era. Magaroja (talk) 14:47, 23 February 2017 (EST)

I agree with KilMichaelMcC. When was the last time Nova used his Nemesis Prime colour scheme? It would have been back in the -ation series, right? Seems to me like an odd mistake to make in 2016-2017. I'm of the opinion that the decision to colour Nova in his Nemesis colour scheme was a little nod to the common "mirror universe" trope of alternate colour schemes, and not a colouring error. --LordGigaIce (talk) 16:35, 23 February 2017 (EST)

First, I think you're taking what was meant to a wink at the audience a bit too seriously. Honestly, not everything needs to dissected down to its base elements.

He was always destined to try it, and always destined to lead to Megatron's birth anyway.
