Nemesis Prime was first encountered on a distant planet composed of salt and technorganic materials. The origins of this planet are unknown, but some speculate that it could be a world Unicron devastated eons ago. Nemesis Prime was a Unicron-created being that acted very savage and feral in nature, using his Vorpal Saber nearly to destroy several of the Autobots and Decepticons. Although the character seemed beastly and insane, his exact motives and personality are unknown, as he was simply a puppet of Sideways. Nemesis Prime was eventually destroyed by a combined blast from Megatron using the Requiem Blaster and Optimus Prime using his new Overload power unit. Sideways was seen fleeing the scene in trans-phase mode, while Nemesis Prime's remains were scattered about the area. Mysteriously, the planet immediately began to break down and was destroyed without reason or warning.
It's worth noting that the Transformers encountered Nemesis Prime and this planet only after falling into a black hole that had taken shape due to Unicron's lack of a physical body. Nemesis Prime's current status is unknown, but it ain't looking too good for him.

- Nemesis Prime with Run-Over (Super-Con, 2003)
- A redeco of the Super-Con version of Armada Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime transforms into a longnosed truck cab of made-up model. Plugging a Mini-Con onto the Powerlinx plug on his robot mode back unlocks a "punching" action that moves his arms back and forth when the plugged-in Mini-Con is pushed up and down. He came with his Mini-Con partner Run-Over, who can also become a handgun Nemesis Prime can hold.
- This mold was also used for the Cybertron Deluxe-class version of Optimus Prime and Universe "Battle in a Box" Ultra Magnus.
- Scourge with Sweep (Super-Con, 2003)
- In Japan, Nemesis Prime was only available as a mail-away item from Tele-V Magazine (limited to 5000 pieces) under the name Scourge, a nod to Hasbro's Robots in Disguise Scourge. There are a number of small but significant differences between Hasbro and Takara's versions of the toys; the Hasbro version uses a bluer version of off-black and a sandy-tan color rather than the Takara version's more brownish-black and neutral light gray. The Hasbro version also appears to have a larger number of paint applications in a wider variety of colors.
