Nemesis Prime - Transformers: Prime

Transformers: Prime

Nemesis Prime appears in his self-titled episode of Transformers: Prime. Nemesis Prime is a clone of Optimus Prime created by M.E.C.H. as the prototype of "Project: Chimera" complete with Cybertronian technology, a supply of Energon, and Starscream's Transformation Cog. Nemesis Prime's color scheme is the same as Optimus', but with duller coloring. He also has yellow optics.

Nemesis Prime first appears where he tries to bump Agent Fowler off the road. This caused Agent Fowler to think that Optimus Prime has gone rogue. Arcee, Bulhead, and Bumblebee arrive and save Agent Fowler while Arcee pursues the look-a-like until she was blindsided. The real Optimus Prime returns to the Autobot base upon returning from a subterranean Energon mine. Nemesis Prime later breaks into a military base and delivers a message where he attacks Alden Military Base. The Autobots arrive and Nemesis Prime flees causing the military to attack the wrong Optimus Prime who issues a retreat. Ratchet deduces that M.E.C.H. is behind this. Meanwhile, Nemesis Prime returns to M.E.C.H. where Silas states that the test is complete. The Autobots and Miko name the clone Nemesis Prime as they remain in vehicle form to evade attacks from the military. When Bumblebee comes near one of M.E.C.H's base, Silas activates Nemesis Prime who tries to trick Bumblebee only for Bumblebee to see through the ploy. Then Nemesis Prime takes down Bulkhead and Arcee. Ratchet then tries to use the com-link to track down where Silas and Nemesis Prime are. Optimus Prime then meets Nemesis Prime as Silas speaks through Nemesis Prime. While Optimus Prime fights Nemesis Prime, Agent Fowler makes his way towards the control frequency to disable it. Nemesis Prime manages to injure Optimus Prime while Agent Fowler deals with Silas. This gives Optimus Prime the opportunity to finish off Nemesis Prime who ends up falling on Silas.

In "Grill," it is revealed that Nemesis Prime's inactive body is in military storage.
