In the midst of battle, the evil Nemesis Prime appears.
Synopsis
The wisdom that had been held in the Matrix had been emptied, but it still contains the potential to be refilled with new wisdom, worrying the currently disembodied Unicron, who still orbits Cybertron. An instrument of his will soon comes when he sees a piece of metal debris that he recognizes as originating from the current holder of the Matrix, Supreme Commander Optimus Prime. Swallowing the piece, Unicron uses material within his head to construct a full being using Optimus Prime's specifications, creating a mighty clone of the Autobot hero. With this new herald, Unicron will have his resurrection and revenge.
During a fierce battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons on Cybertron, the clone lands on the battlesite. At first, the outnumbered Autobots rejoiced while the Decepticons were petrified. However, their expectations were turned on their head as the Autobot forces were demolished by the "devil" bearing Optimus Prime's likeness. The clone, named "Nemesis Prime", is invited to the Decepticon forces, where he quickly rises through the ranks despite other Decepticons' wariness due to his appearance. But this was all part of the plan...
When Unicron's head finally faced Cybertron during its orbit, Nemesis Prime decided to strike the Energy Dock at Iacon, which was under Decepticon control. Slaughtering the Decepticon security forces, Nemesis Prime absorbed the energy reserves into his Dead Matrix so that his master could be resurrected. Alerted to the battle, Optimus Prime and his Autobots arrived at the scene and the three factions waged battle against each other. Eventually, the two Primes came face-to-face. Delighted at the opportunity to kill his forebear and destroy the Matrix, Nemesis Prime faced off against Optimus Prime with the fate of the universe at stake.

Notes
- This story appears to take place after the Matrix's was emptied to cure the universe of the Hate Plague in "The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2" and before the beginning of The Headmasters, in which Optimus Prime dies early on. This also takes place before the later Generations Selects Special Comic, as Unicron is sealed into the Triple Z Point during the course of the story and Optimus Prime has already left the Matrix on Earth to recharge it.
