Your mocked up G1 Nemesis Prime stuff was cool... makes me wish it had happened
Thanks! I knew I wanted to do something like that after all of the comments I got from the Zombie Prime. You could say this video is a year in the making!
I always have kinda considered MotorMaster of the stunticons/Decepticons an evil version to..somewhat,to me he is an under utilized version of an evil optimus prime,the same for the stunticons team itself as evil colored doppelganger toys from the autobots.
Jack Blade
He made it using dialogue from the show.
Jack Blade It’s a line said by G1 Motormaster with a redeco’d Optimus
go to hell
I feel like Transformers Prime could have done something different with Nemesis, but it was still a pretty good episode
I would have just preferred it be the right colours.
What if Unicron possessed it as a "temporary" body for himself
Maybe Silas could have used it as his body instead of poor Breakdown. He could have somehow make it a real transformer, either via the matrix or an artifact. And his underlings would have found a way to transfer Silas' soul in the robot and give him the classic Nemesis Prime colours.
@@natek4488 Yeah, they could have really used Nemises Prime as a big villain for the Unicorn arc. Have him be the one that Megatron and Optimus have to beat, to make it inside Unicorn.
Agree
Never has there been a character with an identity crisis as much as Nemesis Prime.
Agreedd
Imagine if he went up against SG Optimus, or if there was a SG Nemesis Prime...
"Its just such ignorance which forever relegates you to the ranks of underlings starscream!" I absolutley love the dialoge of Megatron!
So do I. Their banter is so enjoyable to watch.
Its funny because when I was a child whilst watching Transformers, I expanded my vocabulary because of their exchanges.
The reason he's my all-time favorite cartoon nemesis
RodimusPrimal It really is!
Megatron: It’s just such ignorance which forever relegates you to the ranks of underlings StarScream!
StarScream: What? 😐
Megatron: I’m saying: You’re an idiot, StarScream!
StarScream: Oh ok.
FINALLY, someone notices that Galvatron was totally more of a Nemesis Prime
RamWorkz so sad people don’t agree with us
I really feel that the direction that I should have went like a Optimus Prime body with all the memories of Megatron they could have had a battle where it fell into the La Brea Tar Pits and then emerges out actually liking it all black color and decides to start calling itself Nemesis Prime it would have made the perfect setup for a Nemesis Prime origin but they didn't take advantage of it
Galvatron wasn’t really nemesis prime like cause he got controlled by megatron
Decepticon or not, Nemesis Prime/Scourge is really badass.
you mean like scourge the warrior cat / badass
I like to call him Scourge the Nemesis Prime.
Scourge is and always will be the best Black Convoy. Mostly because he's a fully fleshed out character unlike all other Nemesis Primes(in the cartoons).
I wish they released the takara legends black convoy in the us
@Dank Starscream
The cons were definitely the best part of that show.
Nah
@@sharkpatrol6069 Yeah
@@erikhawkke4861 nah.
The reason why Bayformers Nemesis Prime is my least favorite is because one, I hate it when our favorite Autobot turned evil which is a huge slap to the face to all Transformers fans, and two, he didn’t do anything evil throughout the movie with the exception of beating up Bumblebee and Bumblebee’s voice causing him to change his personality is anticlimactic.
The idea of turning Optimus Prime himself into Nemesis Prime was pretty good, but the execution was cheap beyond believe. Hell, Nemesis Prime was barely even there.
Hopefully we'll never see such incompetents again now that Bay is out
But Nemesis almost killed Bee.
@@Lemuel928 Only the fact Optimus ripped the heart out of The Fallen with his bare hands, but Nemesis couldn't do the same thing to Bumblebee? Sure why not.
I think the concept of Optimus turning evil temporary has real potential for a memorable story, if executed correctly. In the G1 episode "Attack of the Autobots", peter cullen's voice acting proved that a character like Optimus can be freaking terrifying when he's on the other team. (Seriously, i got chills.)
The name "Nemesis Prime" is straight hardcore. Funny, but even though his name is simple, "Faker" is even more legondary
MY preferred version of Nemesis Prime? How about the one that was released as an exclusive for SDCC 2008. That one has a bio that indicates he was built by the Decepticon Warlord Straxus, who took a lowly protoform and imbued him with Optimus Prime's knowledge and combat algorithms. After Straxus died, Nemesis Prime was roaming Cybertron alone, skulking through the shadows killing Autobot and Decepticon alike. Nemesis Prime has no sense of identity, and he has no moral compass unlike the heroic Autobot he was modeled after. That version is far more brutal than the others!
You mentioning Real Ghostbusters is a dream come true.
My preferred Nemesis Prime is a Herald of Unicron. A being created by Unicrons own evil to hunt down and crush the bearer of the Matrix of Leadership
RID Scourge is my favourite version of Nemesis Prime and should be an example how to use this character. He has got an own unique and ambitious personality except of being just an evil Optimus. Also, because he was more of a secondary rival to Optimus while Megatron was around.
I remember years ago there was a fan made comic of an origins of a nemesis Prime where he was an unknown cybertronian doing the Golden Age where he absolutely hated Orion Pax for taking his job and his girl and apparently after Orion became Optimus Prime he forced a cybertronian engineer to rebuild his body in Optimus primes image but better I suppose it's a classic case of a copycat/kill Fire with Fire scenario wish I remember who made that comic :\ ?
I always loved the concept of Nemesis Prime, especially the color scheme for him. Although he really hasn't been used properly most incarnations of him. He's mostly there just to sell a new toy of him or whatever. The Prime one is my favorite incarnation of him. I knew metch was building their own transformer, but I didn't think it would be Nemesis Prime. Tlk one had potential to be pretty interesting, but he litteraly was just there for like 4 minutes. It would of been cool to see Optimus fighting him in control of his body thoughout the film. Oh well though we get what we get. Hopefully future incarnations of him will make him more lasting than just one appearance and make him a full character.
Nemesis Prime is full character in robots in disguise (2001) as Scourge. But he is like a second Starcream, not so stupid but disloayl and driven by his own lust of power.
Ender Sage I agree, it would be pretty interesting seeing Nemesis as some sort of Prime's other personality. I wish we'll get to see this one day
Dank Starscream Now let's see how it would look if someone made it work
@@BasedVegeta stupid,stupid, stupid...or blind?)
Mech supposed to be a leader must have something more than lust of power. Megatron had a will to protect Cybertron, which gives him some honor, also he was brutal and brave.
To become a blackmirror of Optimus Prime true leader of autobots Nemesis Prime also have to be a true leader even if he must be evil, it should be evil with cunnig and some honor.
Dank Starscream Well they already showed us how Megatron crushed Bee's voice box, which was pretty dark for a kid show, so it's possible that we'll have more of these surprises, but I doubt we'll get Nemesis prime. But I'd like to see it one time, at least in a comic.
Scourge is my favorite. His personality made him a bad guy you could actually get behind.
Ever since the first time we same a black recolor of Prime, I had always wanted them to do the same with Hot Rod. It sucks we didn't get to see it until Shattered Glass and more recently with Rodimus Unicronus.
Get the pizza ready we've got another Retrospective!!
Cowabunga!
YES
That was cool !
Transformers and Pizza mmm 😋🍕
@@nicholasdickens2801 on Thursdays near my neighborhood we are place to get a large pizza $8 and you get three toppings free
I love the Nemesis Prime G1 style animation!
I came up with the idea that after Unicron's defeat Shockwave secretly studied his remains; researched the history of the matrix and its connections to Primus, Unicron, Cybertron, and Vector Sigma. Then Shockwave cloned Optimus Prime's corpse and made a Dark Matrix from Unicron's remains. Shockwave named his creation Nemesis Prime.
For the time being N.P. serves Megatron as a sleeper agent waiting for the day when Shockwave will activate his true purpose as part of Shockwave's extremely long term master plan.
That is a cool sounding speculation.
i think i'm more in love with the IDEA of nemisis prime then i am of what we got so far. but then again, i havent' seen enough with my own eys to make that judgement.
FINALLY
I love this version of Optimus Prime
I have an idea. The idea that Nemesis Prime started as a lifeless, remote-controlled copy of Optimus Prime. However, let's say it fell into a pool of Dark Energon, which mutated him into a fully sentient robot, with the abilities of the Armada version.
Scourge is the only toy version I ever owned, and I still have it stored away. Really fine looking design, too.
Yeah that is a great toy for sure. I just got the Netflix one and I have to open it up but it may just be my number 2 as far as Nemesis Prime toys go.
I just viewed a video about Nemesis Prime last night. It's hard to even conceive of Optimus Prime being evil in any way, but I would like to see more Nemesis Prime.
did you find it odd that Nemesis Prime of Armada ran like an ape (on all fours knuckle-walk style)?
That's why I called him a brute. Good call!
It's an Homage to Optimus Primal from Transformers: Beast Wars.
He reminds of the hulk not gonna lie...
I like the idea of nemesis being more monstrous but then again the armada one was my introduction to the character
0:33 Screwattack will be proud
Optimus prime:Wazzup!
Nemisis prime:Wazzuup!
Optimus prime:WAZZUUUP!
CONGRATULATIONS no one cares

Frankfort the orange tank engine 31 I DO
I came to re-watch this since I just got the Netflix Spoiler Pack, and while shooting my review I realized I didn't remember the Origin of Nemesis. Good thing you covered it, it was interesting to re-watch once more!
This is exactly what I’ve been needing in my life 👏
Thanks! Keep up the good work bro!
I love Scourge from robots in disguise.
Great video, as usual! It was very interesting seeing how different Nemesis Prime is between each continuity.
I know. It's cool trying to cover as many as possible.
Oh man no matter which version of Prime you're talking about it gets confusing very quickly! Would love to see a retrospective on either the different Cassette-Bots(both Autobot & Decepticon)or maybe even Dr. Archevil himself, he was always been one of my favorite characters & I always wondered if his cybertronic implants gave him any special powers or new abilities. Another great in-depth video as always Rodimus!
Thanks. Human characters in Transformers is certainly a topic to cover in the future!
Scourge is still the best iteration of the character for me. He goes from being Megatron's lackey, to a time-space travelling robot that rides on Skybyte and commands Ruination. You don't get cooler than that.
IDW would be up there too, but then he reverted by to Nova and lost all of his cool powers.
On a side note, there was a version of Nemesis you didn't really touch upon which was named Grand Scourge. Who funnily enough tried to impersonate Scourge (or rather Black Convoy since this was a Japanese comic) to control Ruination (or Baldigus.)
Pretty much a similar deal to Armada and Universe Nemesis Prime, in the sense that he was created by Unicron. The only difference is that he goes universe skipping to kill Convoys of any era.
I really enjoyed the video though, its nice seeing someone talk so in-depth of Transformers.
Man I love me some nemesis prime
Bardock The Sayian I see
BEYOND AMAZING VIDEO RODIMUSPRIMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoyed that fan made animation of Nemesis Prime, as though he actually appeared in the Transformers G1 cartoon. :D I was happy when, I believe it was in 2008 when the SDCC version of Nemesis Prime was released, Hasbro decided to retrograde Nemesis Prime into G1 continuity. :D Keep up the outstanding work you do, your videos are fantastic. ;D
Thanks!
I wish one of the stories was that they used Optimus Prime's dead body from the animated movie. No just me?
It will be so coolto have a Transformers series with Nemesis Prime as the main villain
The intro music to your videos is absolutely badass! Would love this music to play every time I came In to a room
Thank you so much for making this video! This guy is by far my favorite Transformer, I love the story and the idea of him as a whole! You did an amazing job and giving your audience and viewers your knowledge and info on this character, would highly recommend this for anyone who is a fan of Transformers or even wants to learn more about them! Keep up the great content! (:
Nemesis prime is my be all end all favorite character and pallette color. His color scheme just oozes power, aggression, and strength. And let's face it if everyone loves the big bot, his true evil persona is nothing to turn your nose up at.
I like the Nova Prime origin, the corruption of a Prime. I think this fits better with the power of the Primes line.
Thanks buddy but still hate the mistakes i did when i was nemesis
You forgot Darkwing Duck vs. Negaduck in the opening monologue!
Love the vid!
How did Optimus get reprogrammed like by a magical slap to the cheek?!? EDIT: Thanks RodimusPrimal! I'll be posting my own videos in my own channel within the week probably! Thanks for the ❤️!
I agree. Quintessa seemed to have powered that made you wonder.
I would of thought that dark awakening zombie Optimus would have been considered nemesis prime too as he was re programmed and brought back to life by the quintessons just like the last night Optimus was.
Doesn't Motormaster have the same concept of Nemesis Prime?
He and the other Stunticons were made to copy the Autobot's vehicular mode, with Motormaster being the leader (just like how Optimus is the leader of the Autobots). He has the same alternate mode as Optimus Prime and he has an intense rivalry with Optimus. Also, he has something that doppelgangers always have: an opposite personality. Optimus is a noble and compassionate leader while Motormaster is a jerk to his team. Motormaster seems like the original Nemesis Prime before it was a thing.
Yes and no. They did go head to head in the Masquerade episode, but that's more of a coincidence that they are both trucks. While both Motormaster and Nemesis Prime are black trucks, its only the later that was made to BE a copy of Optimus. Motormaster was made simply to be the leader of the Stunticons, which I cover a lot about in my combiner videos.
NEMESIS PRIME is a CHEAP KNOCKOFF
HA! HA! HA! HAA!!
Always imagined the black flat nose freight liner in Terminator 2 suddenly transforming into Nemesis while chasing John Conner through the LA storm drain system.
Amazing! I absolutely love these origin Bios, sometimes you feel like you kinda know but you just don't know the real story. Great video!
Nice G1 art
I came back here after watching the Transformers Kingdom trailer and saw Optimus and Nemesis beat the living spark out of each other.
You deserve more subs. You are one of the coolest TH-camrs ever
These are awesome, man, keep them up
Always have liked Nemesis Prime, pretty awesome you covered one of my favorite Decepticons ever! Great video as always!
I like how each of the convoy faces( maximal/autobots that share the same face as Optimus Prime) such as Lio Convoy, Big Convoy and now Optimus Primal have there own Nemesis counterpart
i like the mech from TFP
I’m so glad I’ve found your channel l! It’s reignited my love of Transformers! Keep up the good work Rodimus!
Awesome video, worth the wait.
Amazingly, the Prime Wars nemesis Prime is my favorite.
I loved this video. It has given me more ideas for my truck build, themed on Nemesis Prime.
Another amazing video man ! As always I love watching your videos !
Thanks! Stay tuned for more!
Good job with this character I was hoping you would talk about him and you did.
Wow great retrospective video here Rodimus. I do not have many of the "dark Optimus toys", in fact I only have Scourge, but that may have to change!! Keep the videos coming bro you do great work.
If anybody will see this, I have my own story for Nemesis Prime:
Nemion Pax and Orion Pax were literal brothers, connected by blood. They were twins, and the best of friends. But one day, during the war, Orion left Nemion for dead. He hated it. “We're brothers, the best of friends, and comrades, so you leave me here to rot?”, Nemion thought. He plotted revenge for centuries, then he found the Dark Spark. It turned him into a dark warrior that looks like Optimus, but corrupted and evil. Nemion renames himself, Nemesis Prime. Nemesis finds Optimus, and they become the worst of enemies.
Edit: I also have another idea, how about Nemesis is Dion?
Nice
👍🏻
Yes!!! It's also a shame the Dark Spark isn't mentioned much despite being an awesome piece of lore. Maybe the "Matrix" that comes with the POTP toy is the Dark Spark! :D
7/10
Nice video even though there is one Nemesis Prime missing, the Animated one from The Complete Allspark Almanac. Still a very informative video! Hope you had a good Halloween and that was a good G1 Nemesis opening if he got to be in the show and Cullen voicing him!
In japan they released a transformers animated nemesis prime and there is also a botcon exclusive one. Unfortunetly it costs around $200.00
I like your channel of Transformers! I have many of the G1 Masterpiece figures that I'd have one big figure than 5 smaller figures back in the day and I still do it as I'm older. I just have house payments and stuff. For all collectors Masterpiece figures is the only way to go!
Ah thank you for a new brilliant video Optimus. I hope you’re settling into your new home :)
Thanks! We're settling in slowly but surely!
RodimusPrimal That’s great to hear :)
All I collect is black repaints of Prime - he's just wicked cool, regardless of origin :D
Glad to see that you have done your 3rd Optimus Prime body (with different colors) video
Poor Motormaster will always be 2nd fiddle to Nemesis Prime😔
This was so cool! I'm definitely getting an nemesis prime figure
watch one ?
I would recommend the Titan's Return version, it still can be found at retail price, has homages to the previous versions and many experts consider it the best Nemesis Prime figure.
@@Hektols thx am getting back to Transformers toy
I plan on getting the Mp10 version that's my favorite.
I also for forgot they have a Mp Scourge and that is one badass figure.
Your hypothetical version of Nemesis Prime is my favorite...although I like to think that Nemesis is from another universe like Shattered Optimus, or a future version of Optimus Prime, broken by war.
I think Nemesis Prime form the Shattered Glass would be an anti-anti-Prime, who sees how evil SG Prime is and joins the heroic decepticons.
I honestly would like that if Shattered Glass became a thing for other versions of Transformers. With the evil Optimus of that universe being Nemesis Prime. And we might get a good Megatron as a package too (he may go by Megatronus like Megatron used to do).
My favorite toy line form of him has to be the Takara Tomy repaint of Optimus. That'll probably be my next Masterpiece I'll get if he is still in production. I already spent too much on MP Optimus since I never got him while he was in production. My favorite from the series is Scourge since that's the only version I saw of him while growing up.
The Best Nemesis Prime is the Black Mamot one, since he was a Unicron Herald and then managed to get out of unicron´s Power. The other one I like is Black Convoy (RID Scourge), I don´t know why in the Dub they used the name Nemesis Prime, or Black Prime, instead of Scourge... Scourge got nothing to do with an evil copy of Optimus Prime.
Diego S Far more often than you might imagine character names are chosen solely on what trademark needs protected or was just made.
I liked the Transformers Prime Nemesis Prime, only if he was his own bot and if he had the black and teal paint job. Also if I could make my own version of Nemesis Prime, it would be that he was created by Unicron, and wielded the dark matrix, and dark star saber. Only he would take the place of Megatron, competing with Megatron, for the destruction of Optimus Prime. He would have dark copies of the other Autobots as his crew and they would go by the name of Vehicons, since this would not be by the guidelines of Transformers Prime.
Love the addition of the swordbird Giza , its a slept on minicon!
Yesssss

No...
One thing about all Nemesis prime is he's always a badass!!
This was a great video. Thanks
I always liked TF Prime's Nemesis. The idea of a power-mad human copying the toughest bot they saw seems kinda right. Megs never struck me as one to waste resources copying what he wants to personally obliterate. But then again, Megs has had so many different tones...
Weirdly the best version of nemesis that i have seen came from a transformers fan fiction where he was optimus and started the decepticon rebellion. Its a long story but it basically chose to portray optimus as a Spartacus like character.
Your videos are really well done. Have you thought of doing a retrospective on the various recolors of Optimus Prime? That would be fantastic!
Damn, I love these videos. That black and teal color scheme is beautiful. Especially on a MP. I eventually need to add Nemesis to my collection!
3:18 Well that escalated quickly
Man, I wish the Transformers G1 series will make an episode of Nemesis Prime that way, optimus would battle him, then the final season with Rodimus would be called the Vengeance of Nemesis
Nice job
Awesome thank you for the video.
I remembered something in relation to Nemesis Prime. In the Japanese Manga "Battlestars:The Return of Convoy", there is also an evil version of Prime called FALSE CONVOY.
ive watched the g1 series over and over and now i see something new that would make sense if they did make a real dark matrix nemesis prime in the g1 series that would be a game changer
Great stuff
@RodimusPrimal, A big thank you for including the Spectral Ghostbusters from The Real Ghostbusters episode Citizen Ghost in your run down of evil doppelgangers. That is my all time favorite episode of The Real Ghostbusters. As for Nemesis Prime, I would go with the Scourge version of him as a personal favorite due his backstory.
His backstory was the best as a fully fleshed out character. The Real Ghostbusters was a great cartoon too!
I don't know enough about the other iterations of Nemesis Prime to make a clear decision on who's my favorite, but I have an attachment to TFP's Nemesis which is good enough for me
Scourge is the best Némesis Prime. He must be fully included in the continuity g1 next to Fire Convoy , Gigatron. Etc.
bravo, i love this. i love the evil prime.
I am done being evil
Very nice! I am hoping to expand on my Nemsis Prime collection as I only got a Nendoroid of him so far.
I love all the possibilities with Nemesis Prime-Ultra Magnus-Optimus Prime. Three of my favorite characters
Best version is Unicron's version
Rodimus Primal deserves more subscribers
Dang never knew how dark trnsfr were
Nemesis Prime is one of my favorites
Got a pretty cool channel here bro. Lol I got transformer tattoos all over. Keep it up ur channel rocks!
Star Saber Retrospective please
He's on my list.
@@RodimusPrimal the character or the sword?
@@EYYYYYJustin if the sword it would be a relic video. Definitely the character.
