Nemesis Prime (Animated)
From Transformers Wiki
| 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 from the Animated continuity family.
Nemesis Prime is the culmination of the Decepticons' experiments in copying Autobot shells, which also included Toxitron and Team Stunticon.[1] Upon completion, he was quickly snatched away by Straxus, and no-one has seen him since.[2]
It's probably too much to hope he stays hidden away.

Toys
Animated
- Optimus Prime Black Ver. (Voyager, 2010)
- TakaraTomy ID number: TA-01
- Accessories: Axe/backpack, water cannon
- Optimus Prime Black Ver. was available exclusively at the Japanese "Transformers Museum" event held at the Seibu department store in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture from August 3rd to August 8th, 2010. The figure was limited to 300 pieces, cost 4,200 yen, and came in a grayscale version of the original toy's box with a golden sticker on the window declaring its name.
- A redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, "Nemesis Prime" transforms into a futuristic Earth-mode fire truck (well, the front half of one, at least). His rear portion includes a giant extinguisher cannon, which can become a hand weapon and really squirts water. His trailer also transforms into a giant double-bladed axe. These weapons can store on his back, giving the appearance of wings and a jet pack. Like his deluxe-class toys, Prime can also hold his axe two-handed, albeit not as easily achieved compared to the deluxe versions. The toy features a mouthplate which can slide up to cover his face or retract down below. He also has an Automorph feature: Pressing a button on his back flips down and rotates his lower body into the proper position for robot mode.
- This mold was also used to make The Motor Master and Toxitron.
Notes
- According to character designer Derrick J. Wyatt, the bit about Straxus taking command of Nemesis is a reference to the Alternators Nemesis Prime's bio. He was most likely intending to refer to his Universe 2.0 bio, however, as the Alternators bio has no mention of Straxus whatsoever.
