Nemesis Prime is a minor antagonist in Transformers: Armada. He is an evil clone of Optimus Prime, created by Unicron, given the sole purpose to destroy Autobots and Decepticons alike.

Being a clone of Optimus, he possesses his powers and skills, as well as his appearance. However, unlike his good-hearted counterpart, Nemesis Prime is a cold-blooded being that lacks Optimus' morality and mercifulness.

He was voiced by Paul Dobson, who also voices Sideways in the series.

Biography

In the anime Transformers: Armada, Nemesis is depicted as a vicious, monstrous and bloodthirsty Transformer who only wants to murder everything in sight, Decepticon and Autobot alike. He is a clone of Optimus Prime created by Sideways, the Herald of Unicron. As he had both Optimus' and Sideways' abilities, he was extremely powerful, fighting off Hot Shot, Red Alert, Megatron, Starscream, and Demolisher with ease. It took the aid of Optimus Prime and the Mini-Cons before Nemesis Prime was ultimately destroyed.

Trivia

• Prior to the movie's release, before Galvatron has been officially announced to appear in the movie, many fans once thought Nemesis Prime would appear in Transformers: Age of Extinction, transforming into a black and grey Freightliner Argosy 2014 over-cab trailer truck, as Nemesis Prime is portrayed as transforming into a black truck.
• Nova Prime, a recurring villain of IDW Publishing's original Transformers run, would use the name Nemesis Prime while under the influence of the Dead Universe.
• In the original Japanese release of Transformers: Armada, Nemesis Prime is named as Scourge in the promotional materials, in reference to the black Optimus knockoff in Robots in Disguise being called as such in the English dub.
