Nemesis Prime and the other Core Class figures from his wave arrived at US retail less than a week after their initial reveal. The product description for the set made mention of Shattered Glass comics by IDW Publishing, [4] either being a miscredit of Fun Publications convention comic, or a far too-early mention of IDW's 2021 Shattered Glass comic. Accessories: one ion blaster, one energon axe, Matrix of Leadership, five pairs of hands (relaxed, closed, rifle- axe- and Matrix-holding)

A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see below). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted. A redeco of Canon/Transformers Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime is a roughly Voyager-sized figure that transforms into a fully licensed Canon EOS R5 digital camera. The toy is 80% the size of the genuine article and features a removable lens attachment, though it must be reattached to him before he can transform to robot mode since it forms his arms. The lens cap is removable and is used as a shield in robot mode. His included "All Spark" can be pegged onto his lens, just behind the front element. He also comes with a small version of his own camera mode. In addition to the small engine-pistol of his Alternators figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the Kiss Players figures, Prime also comes with a PVC figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the Kiss Players radio drama, as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, " Someday, Beneath the Sun." However, the battle was not over yet, as Alpha Trion, Sky Lynx, and Nightscream had arrived to kill Optimus themselves. However, Prime introduced the trio to a completed Omega Doom, who reduced Alpha Trion to a distant smear on the ground, before going off to destroy the Decepticons while Optimus dealt with Sky Lynx and Nightscream. Reunification: Part 5 The Coming Storm: Part 1 Accessories: Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 Laser Rifles, 2 Twin Particle Beam Cannons, Super Robot head, missile launcher, 2 missiles, Apex Bomber chest/trailer top, 2 legs (left & right), 2 arms (left and right), Armor chest/trailer front, 2 wings (left & right)

This figure was, in fact, the only mold in the Sports Label line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create Sports Label Megatron In robot mode, Optimus' default idle behavior is not to stand perfectly still. Instead, he will slowly "breathe" with a subtle inhaling/exhaling motion like a human would have after aerobic exercise. From there, he will occasionally shift into other statuesque poses. In the present day, Rodimus promised that his assassins would take down Optimus Prime at the same time Alpha Trion's agents took down Megatron, thus paving the way for their own conquering. Reunification: Part 3

This figure was redecoed and retooled into Generations Motorbreath and Transformers (2014) Ultra Magnus. A child playing with the "Optimus Primal" Rescue Bots toy was turned into an animated version of himself and met with the Rescue Bots! He directed Optimus into rescuing Chase, who had been pinned under a boulder. Rescue Bots Optimus Primal toy commercial MP-10 immediately became the gold standard in terms of scale for the Masterpiece line, with all subsequent releases being sized to best match him for nearly a decade. Nemesis Prime, Dark Clone is one of forty double-sided character cards available in Wave 1 of the Transformers Trading Card Game. Nemesis Prime participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of him! He was an Uncommon character who could be recruited by collecting 35 units of Cybermetal and 16 units of Transmetal. Transformers: Battle TacticsProduced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie and its release on DVD by Sony, this edition of Prime is a redeco of his 20th Anniversary figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest. Hasbro released a redecoed version with additional accessories as part of their Generation 2 line in 1993; Product description says that's the Allspark, but you can call it the Dark Spark if you really want to. G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round 3mm-compatible holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with Robotmasters Beast Megatron and Beast Convoy). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

This figure, with the included intakes and alternate head in place, also doubles as Starscream from " Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1". Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a design flaw, inferior plastic quality, or both: Due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate 5 mm posts, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually breaking on either location thus far.Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there. A metallic enamel pin based on Nemesis Prime's vinyl figure measuring 4-inches tall, approximately the same as a regular vinyl. His original trailer is not included with the set; instead, he comes with a new deluxe-scaled trailer, not available with any other figure, based on the one towed by Prime in Dark of the Moon. The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports 5mm post-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the MechTech weapon Movie Prime is armed with. Doctor Arkeville spent years personally constructing Nemesis Prime piece by stolen piece, hiding his handiwork from both Concurrence agents and the Decepticons. Designed to be the ultimate military commander, he had arguably the mightiest Binaltech Transformer body ever constructed, but it remained without a life-force. Dr. Arkeville planned to acquire one by tapping into an amazingly powerful extra-spatial source that the Autobot Translink Project had uncovered. [1] Story of Binaltech

Still plagued by self-confidence issues however, Ultra Magnus did not believe he could lead the Autobots as himself, instead conspiring to steal Optimus's body. Shattered Glass II #5 After being repaired, Optimus was brought to Metroplex, Shattered Glass II #4 where his spark was extracted and placed in Magnus's body. Having his leg cut off and his voice box disabled, Optimus was left to impotently scream, a state in which he was found by Soundwave and Slicer. Shattered Glass II #5 This mold was also used to make the concurrently released TakaraTomy Mall exclusive Decepticon Refraktor R5, and redecoed into Nemesis Prime. None of the toy's motorized joints are capable of supporting substantial weight without electricity. This means that when powered off, the robot cannot stand upright without external support. If the toy is in robot mode and senses its batteries are getting low, then to prevent a damaging fall, it will automatically shift into a droopy squatting pose that it can safely sustain while powered off. The average operating time from a full battery charge is approximately 40 minutes. The charging port is not accessible while the robot is standing up. Plugging in the charger while the toy is powered on might endanger fragile components. Unknown to the Rescue Bots, Optimus had also been involved in the Scrubber Initiative. When the project's lab in Faxian was imperiled by runaway Scrubbers, Optimus observed the Rescue Bots response, and subsequently appeared to them via hologram to give them new assignments protecting the project. Upgrades Following the defeat of the Morocco virus, Optimus turned up at the Training Center and assigned the Bots all to separate missions around the world. Transformations Tales of the Beast HuntersThe fourth Transformers Fan Book comes with the "Optimus Prime (Red Clear Version)" toy, redecoed from the Kingdom Core Class mold. with the deco once again based on the Generation 2-inspired colors used for the Chronicle EZ Collection figure. I could feel all my bad parts being drawn away into this thing. All my nasty habits, my filthy desires... they were now the stuff of this Anti-Me."
