Nemesis Prime

Nemesis Prime's History

After a nearly endless war that resulted in the AllSpark parting from Cybertron for good, Megatron killed Optimus Prime, lamenting that they should have worked together. Afraid of the possibility of this occurring in the past, Kingdom episode 5 Unicron resurrected and enslaved Optimus as Nemesis Prime. As the Autobots and Decepticons died out, Unicron and his minions were a constant threat to the Maximals and Predacons Kingdom episode 6 that emerged from the uninhabitable Cybertron. Both groups eventually time-traveled to the prehistoric Earth, with the Predacons seeking to change the future. While the Ark was stranded in the Dead Universe, a humbled Sky Lynx showed Optimus Prime a vision of a possible future where he died and fell down a dark path, becoming Nemesis Prime. When the Ark crashed on prehistoric Earth, Optimus Primal led an attack on its crew, believing Prime to be Nemesis Prime. Prime recognized the fear in the Primal's eyes when he saw him as the same reason he called the Autobot leader "Nemesis". While stranded on Earth, the Allspark, as a projection of Ultra Magnus, recognized Optimus Prime as its "nemesis" and attacked him. Kingdom Predacon Megatron would also recognize Prime as Nemesis Prime, believing he could be using Primal just as much as the original Megatron was using the Predacon leader.

Nemesis Prime eventually conspired with Galvatron to rebel against their master and used the Dead Universe to travel through time, intending to coerce Megatron to use the Allspark and destroy Unicron at the cost of Cybertron. After the Ark returned to Cybertron, Optimus Prime's vision in the Dead Universe came true, and Nemesis Prime tracked down the AllSpark and battled both Optimus and Bumblebee. As he was joined by Galvatron and Megatron, the former explained their plan and revealed that their existence was the result of Prime's removal of the Allspark and subsequent failure to return it. But before Galvatron could make a move, a four-way alliance of Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, and Predacons arrived, all standing in solidarity against the forces of Unicron. Galvatron mocked the prospect of Megatron being a part of the united factions until the latter actually turned on him thanks to Optimus and Starscream. Nemesis Prime initiated the battle by blasting Megatron and stood his ground against the factions. Just as Nemesis received orders to take the Allspark, the very relic soon deployed a defense of its own: the sparks of Transformers who died throughout the war. Nemesis Prime and Galvatron charged at the spirits only to be struck down by the spirit of Elita-1. Having survived the attack, Nemesis Prime and Galvatron were left stranded in space only to be found by Unicron once more. After scolding his minions and musing that their journey through the Dead Universe had given him "ideas", Unicron drew the two towards him to initiate the reformatting process as they screamed in agony
