Nominus Prime is a little-known figure. Unfortunately, what we know includes that he was a douche.

Fiction

IDW Comics continuity

Nominus Prime assumed office sometime after the disappearance of Nova Prime into the Benzuli Expanse. Under his rule, Cybertron was a planet full of corruption, social apartheid, and general oppression: a Transformer's role in life was determined by the body he was built in, and the handful of elites (particularly the military) would step down on that Transformer's face... forever.

A young, idealistic Megatron wrote a political tract advocating non-violent resistance: After the Ark: Nominus Prime and the Illusion of Progress. This happened shortly before, in Optimus's words, "all that Nominus Prime business. Before the Clampdown". Chaos Theory Part 1 Whatever that "business" was, Sentinel Prime would take office not long after. Megatron Origin #1

Notes

• The presence of another Prime this close to Megatron Origin indicates that Sentinel did not last long in his job.
• Just like poor Zeta Prime, Nominus wasn't included in the lineage of Primes depicted in "Spotlight: Optimus Prime". In real life, this is because he was created after "Spotlight: Optimus Prime" had been published. In that Spotlight, we hear that the Primes are ideals that embody the ages they reign in, which is probably an in-story reason for why Optimus doesn't want to visualize the bastard...
