| This article is about the Matrix bearer from the IDW comics. For the Matrix bearer from the Marvel Comics, see Prime Nova. |
- Nova Prime is an Autobot in the IDW Publishing portion of the Generation 1 continuity family. He is also known as Nemesis Prime.
Nova Prime was the predecessor to Sentinel Prime. An expansionist and a supremacist, Nova Prime believed that Transformers were the greatest among all life forms and that they should bring their glory to the myriad of lesser races throughout the universe. Sounds familiar.
Fiction
IDW comics continuity
Long ago in Cybertron's past, before the war, Nova Prime ordered the construction of the first Ark. Despite Omega Supreme's objections, Nova deceived the Cybertronian populace into believing that the Ark was intended for exploration, rather than its true mission of conquest. Nova Prime disappeared along with the rest of the Ark's crew into an anomaly in the Benzuli Expanse and was presumed dead. Spotlight: Optimus Prime Despite his aggressive intentions, these never came to light, and the Transformers honored Nova Prime's memory with a statue. Megaton Origin #3
However, countless years later, when Optimus Prime downloaded himself into infraspace to survive an attack from Megatron Escalation #6, he sensed the presence of Nova Prime...and was filled with an incredible sense of dread. These feelings led Optimus Prime to seek information from Omega Supreme, who told Optimus of Nova's story. Spotlight: Optimus Prime
It was later learned that Nova Prime was still alive (though now undead) in the Dead Universe and now calling himself Nemesis Prime. He ordered Galvatron to go to Earth and prepare for their second coming. Devastation #3
Trivia
- Nova Prime was actually an Optimus design that Don Figueroa had come up with that was never used.
- According to Nova Prime's design sketches by Don, seen in the back of Spotlight: Optimus Prime, the form seen in the story is Nova Prime's winged cab/trailer super robot. He also has a smaller robot mode consisting of only the cab. The transformation of the cab is pretty similar to that of Energon Rodimus.
- Though they didn't know it, all kitbashers in the last two decades of Transfandom were Waiting. For. This. Moment.
- We used to give him credit for not being named Nemesis Prime. Then he had to go and ruin the joke... (We'd still buy his toy in heartbeat.)
