Nemesis Prime (G1)
| The name or term "Nemesis Prime" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Nemesis Prime (disambiguation). |
- Nemesis Prime is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Dr. Arkeville spent years personally constructing Nemesis Prime piece by stolen piece, hiding his handiwork from both Concurrence agents and the Decepticons. Designed to be the ultimate military commander, he has arguably the mightiest Binaltech Transformer body ever constructed, with a life-force pulled from an amazingly powerful extra-spatial source.
This information was not included on Nemesis Prime's packaging, but was distributed online to promote the figure's availability at San Diego Comic-Con. It was later confirmed to be the work of Hasbro copywriter Forest Lee, who indicated the "extra-spatial source" that Arkeville tapped into was actually a pocket dimension that serves as Unicron's power battery - and that Unicron gave Arkeville exactly what he wanted, in the form of a Spark fragment from Unicron's own attempt at cloning an Optimus Prime.
