Promise me you'll let me be

Nemesis Prime (alternatively known as the Optimus Prime clone) is a clone of Optimus Prime, constructed by a secretive human organization. They didn't do a brilliant job, though, leaving Nemesis Prime an uncontrollable creature, twisted in body and mind. Now the enraged, decaying machine pursues a single objective: exacting revenge on those who created him. His sole companion is Nemesis Grimlock, a powerful being who has sworn loyalty to Nemesis Prime.

Fiction

Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base

Nemesis Prime and Nemesis Grimlock were at the Transformers Expo, where they stepped up to aid another Nemesis Prime against the Autobot forces in the Expo. When the other Nemesis Prime's Dark Energon violently reacted with the artifacts contained in the Expo, he valiantly put all of the Dark Energon energies into his stickers, which he threw off. Along with the observing crowd, Nemesis Prime destroyed the stickers. After all was said and done, Nemesis Prime had a ride on Nemesis Grimlock. Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base

He has the same helmet, gun and smokestacks, the same chest and leg tampographs (just with the outlines in gray instead of black, red flames instead of blue, and gunmetal instead of silver), but a different, snarling face with pupil-less eyes. He even has his own display base, showing a readout of himself on a huge blue holo-screen.

The set also includes Kreons of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Stinger, and a micro-Kreon of a human "Scientist".

This set was not made available in US or Canadian markets, seemingly only hitting stores in Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, and China.
