Transformers Universe Classics Voyager Class and gt; 2008 SDCC Comic-Con Nemesis Prime Action Figure Exclusive launched at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con. Broken by a nightmare eternity of torture at the hands of Straxus, NEMESIS PRIME does not remember what he was before he was this. He is the culmination of a grand plan never realized by Straxus before his destruction; a lowly warrior reconstructed to be the very image of OPTIMUS PRIME. Imprinted with memory engrams and combat algorithms recovered from hundreds of sources, he possesses much of the knowledge of the AUTOBOT leader, but without any framework by which to organize it. Despite his incredible power, he is deeply unstable, a threat to DECEPTICON and AUTOBOT alike. He cowers in the shadows of CYBERTRON, living only to stalk and destroy his fellow TRANSFORMERS. Prepare to roll out and do battle as you take on the enemy in mighty robot mode or tractor trailer vehicle mode. Pose the detailed robot figure with his stellar converter cannon and futuristic disruptor cannon. A few twists here and a couple of turns there and hes ready to roll in tractor trailer vehicle mode. The weapons in robot mode become the trucks smokestack and wind vane! Black-and-silver colored deco makes him a bold addition to your collection.
Customer Review: This is what you get when Optimus Prime ends up with megatron’s brain.
Nemesis Prime (Scourge) is the ying yang of Optimus Prime. Nemesis (Scourge) is equal to Optimus in everything except, unlike Optimus, He’s all about bringing chaos and destruction to anyone who stands near him. He is one evil character.
Customer Review: Same mold, same mold
For anyone who missed out on the Classics Optimus Prime or Ultra Magnus, this is the exact same toy with a different color scheme. Mold is exactly the same as Classics Optimus Prime but more reasonably priced (as of 2008).
My biggest gripe with this figure is that Hasbro decided to give it blue windows instead of the appropriate crimson. His light piping is also blue but his eyes are painted red. This defeats the purpose of light piping and cements more in my mind that Hasbro should’ve just used a crimson plastic for the transluscent parts.
Otherwise this is a great figure, especially for collectors who missed out on the original Classics Optimus Prime release.
