You thought it was Nemesis Prime! But it was I, Scourge!
And now Scourge is like Dio in my head canon.
OP: How many protoforms have you killed?
Scourge: I don’t know. How many energon cubes have you fueled on in your life?
Part 3
Scourge: Oh you’re approaching me? Instead of running away, you’re coming closer?
Rodimus: I can’t beat the scrap out of you without getting closer.
Muda muda muda!
Ora Ora Ora!
Riflemutt Prime i prefer scourage as vegeta
Yare yare daze....
I have a nam idea, clone convoy
Nice diamondbolt reference
Optimus : One shall Stand One shall fall
Nemesis : One shall stand All shall fall
*DAMN!!!* that was badass!!!
@@NoahDaArk Agreed! That was good!
SG Optimus: I shall stand, the rest shall fall
Scourge: damage before destruction
It’s fanmade
Till all are gone…
“Nemesis Prime has grown to become the go-to easy recolour for Optimus Prime.”
Ultra Magnus eat your spark out.
Nick Ferrazza
This comment has given me the strength to live on.
Nick Ferrazza you spelled optimus' name wrong
My god, you're right. I've brought shame to the Transformers fandom.
The first ultra magnus cab was actually a minor retool in addition to being repainted. The powered convoy mold has a longer front axis and altered front wheels to let him dock in to his trailer armor.
Nick Ferrazza Well Ultra Magnus tends to be a white Optimus recolor with armor formed from his trailer
[Optimus prime] - "Till all are one".
[Nemesis prime] - "Till all... are gone".
How bout “Till all are none”?
One shall stand, all shall fall
Fateh Sahii
Isn't that from Johnny Flash
Yah I'm going to not going to commit
I like the idea of Nemesis Prime being a physical manifestation of Optimus Prime’s inner demons, created by Unicron. Instead of Optimus being a force of good and valor, Nemesis would be a force of malice, hatred, and bloodlust made flesh. A literal demon in Cybertronian form. Armada played with that idea, but it was only implemented in one episode.
"Made metal" you mean. Also, my favorite interpretation of Nemesis Prime as well.
@@alexanderstavroulakis335that’s right! I wish that The Last Knight followed that route, with Optimus being trapped on Cybertron by Quintessa. With her being the “Prime Of Life”, she would clone Optimus, creating Nemesis Prime, and send him to Earth as a “Herald Of The Apocalypse” and working with Megatron. But, with the live-action series being rebooted with Bumblebee and ROTB, maybe we might see a new incarnation of Nemesis Prime in the future.
@@celestialspartan1176 Already that would have made The Last Knight much better.
And as for reusing Nemesis in the reboot, awesome as that would be, they'd probably not do that, as it would confuse the general audience.
Kinda like in ROTB, with how they made Scourge into Unicron's top minion instead of Galvatron.
Honestly I like the idea of Nemesis Prime being an incarnation of all the negative thoughts Optimus Prime has had. I feel there should be more comic book series that should take that route instead of a character that was created by someone/something else to fight him, having Optimus tackle his own dark thoughts could make some great character development for him in that series.
BrownTaxi that’s what I’m planning to make him in my series like all of Optimus Prime’s evil and that the more rage and fear Optimus feels the stronger he becomes very evil and dark😎!!!
Unfortunately that’s the same evil clone storyline everybody does when they want their action show to look deep
I agree. That idea sounds very interesting.
Ok so how is nemesis prime going to be created then? Your dark thoughts just don't get a living body suddenly out of nowhere, that's why he's going to be obviously created by another character, sure he can still be created from Optimus dark thoughts, but for him to exist, he has to be created by someone else
I like to think that he was created by Unicron as his final attempt to stop Optimus and perhaps bring him to his side
TLK optimus prime: im going to kill you
Bumblebee: optimus its me bumblebee
Optimus: *WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!!!*
DEATHSTROKE I made that same comment when I saw that movie, too LOL!!!
Cade jumps in front of bumblebee "ITS HIS MOTHER'S NAME!!!"
Good one
DEATHSTROKE yeah cause he’s nemesis lol 😂
@@mrmeeseeks5016 xD
"He's black so he's the bad guy"
-octopus prym
Interesting
Lol. I used to do that a lot as a kid, anything dark was always a bad guy to me.
NEMESIS PRIME HE IS THE EVIL HEARTLESS TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE TOY CLONE OF OPTIMUS PRIME
CODY SHARP JASON JR HE LOVES NEMESIS PRIME AND MOONRACER ALONG WITH ARMADA STARSCREAM HE WILL BE WITH A PARTNER HUMAN FEMALE ALEXIS
LUZFAREL nice
To be honest, I'm surprised that Nemesis Prime in the Prime continuity wasn't reused after his only episode. I'd be curious to see if Dark Energon would give that version some form of sentience (though chances are, it would be probably just be a zombified Optimus knockoff if that were the case).
Signerdragon123 unless megaton and shockwave is able finds a way to make him stable, intelligent and loyal on to them.
NEMESIS PRIME HE SAYS HIS LAST WORDS TILL ALL ARE GONE ALONG WITH QUAKE AND THE COMBATICONS
TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE TOY NEMESIS PRIME HE IS THE BEST AWESOME EVIL DECEPTICON LEADER AND HE IS WAY BETTER THEN STARSCREAM AND GALVATRON
Or else given the spark of life by Unicron.
Unicron could have also taken control of the body since it was an empty vessel. Would not have had to fight with another's spark if he did.
Chris forgot the greatest Nemesis Prime story ever:
*The JohnnyFlash series!*
As for continuity, it's really all over the place.
I agree he really missed a great series
Even as a huge transformer nerd who already knows most of this, this series is so much fun to watch! The editing and voice work are on point!
Yes, I agree
Yes I am a Nerdy one aswell
I think Scourge did the black convoy thing the best, because he uses a different mold than his Optimus counterpart, unlike every other version of Black Convoy just being black repaints of their respective Primes.
Yeah. When I added a Nemesis Prime to my collection, even though I have the Siege Voyager Prime, I got the TR Voyager Nemesis so that they were roughly the same size but completely different molds.
Having his goal of using fortress maximus to conquer the universe and his status as a reoccuring character makes him more memrable.
Still I would have like to see RID Optimus’ mold decked out in Scourge/ Nemesis’ color scheme.
He's unique to Optimus, he's Scourge, rather than just refraction.
Nemesis Prime is undoubtedly one of the coolest names in the franchise.
I'm a little old fashioned, I like RID Scourge and Armada Nemesis Prime, Now I want to see Nemesis Primal!
We already have seen a Nemesis Primal, Onyx Primal was a "Nemesis Prime" version of Optimus Primal. Unfortunately Chris McFeely forgot to include Onyx Primal in this video.
Ive heard the name, but had no idea of the significance!
I also kind of liked the two!!
@@mrsamaritan6881 excuse me!! Who are Nemesis Primal and Onyx Primal?
Since Optimus Primal is already black, Nemesis Primal would most likely be white? Maybe?
I love the take that Nemesis Prime is just Optimus' corpse being puppetted by Unicron and powered by dark energon, reducing the great hero to a berserking zombie.
Technically would be a revenant since it's a errant wicked soul/entity possessing a different body
I always thought that Nemesis Prime was inspired by G1 Motormaster who looks a lot like Optimus Prime in truck mode.
I agree that would make a better origin story for Nemisis prime especially since motor master was the stunticons leader and had Nemisis primes color scheme is the same as motor masters?
Was actually surprise Nemesis Prime exists since Motormaster was the first in the series (albeit with a different transformation style )
@@icdeadpipol
Yeah. Nemesis prime is transforms from a truck cab, motor master transformed from the entire truck and trailer
I loved the Transformers Prime version, even if it was only a human remotely controlling a robot.
Chris‘s voice is enough to make the Bayformers plots sound compelling.
I like the WFC idea of Nemesis Prime in that he is an alternative universe future OP that was turned and enslaved by Unicron.
Mech was the best human villain team in Transformers.
I agree, always a little bit bummed how they were taken off the field after the "The Human Factor" episode.
@@LB74
Right?? It is Silas's dumbass fault though.
Bitch thought simply because he was a transformer now he saw himself as a big shot but SIKE!
After he straight up should have died, his loyal homies got to him before the authorities did. Stabilized him, AND went with a bizarre alternative to bring him back to life but the fact that the plan worked truly shows all their work, talent and research paid off. Silas was back in one hell of a big badass powerful body. And how does he thank his loyal men?
Simply killed them because he felt he had no need for them and wanted to be a bad guy transformer. Look where that got him. Megatron being the sinister ugly monster he is would never allow an "underling" among his ranks, his warship and near his very presence. Silas unfortunately got what he deserved.
TRUE BUT THAN NEMESIS PRIME AND YOU HAVE FAILED ME SILAS YOU LET IT OPTIMUS PRIME BEATING YOU
TRANSFORMERS POWER OF THE PRIMES TOY THEY HAVE A NEW NEMESIS PRIME WITH GIZA HIS OWN SWORD MINI CON
MECH wasn't bad, though I prefer Dr Morocco.
Scourge from RiD should have been the main antagonist after Megatron. He was smarter, more cunning and had his own arc. He wasn't just an evil Optimus, he was his own character.
Nova Prime is what Scourge could have been if he was not turned into a slave of Megatron.
Thanks for another great Video Chris. Any plans on doing Galvatron at some point?
Hey, remember that time he attacked Santa’s village, destroyed it, burned his reindeer alive, and attempted to strangle Santa.
Ive always liked the idea of Nemesis being an unstable evil clone of Prime.
Think of it like Megatron attempted to clone Optimus to create a servant as powerful as Optimus, but it goes horribly wrong and what comes out is Nemesis, an evil, nearly uncontrollable clone of Prime. Feel like this would make a good one off comic.
Tendría más sentido que shockwave lo creará a escondidas de Megatron
I think if Hasbro opted to go for a black, grey and teal colour scheme for Nemesis Prime in The Last Knight, rather than just changing his optic colour and putting a red streak across the side of his face, that would be my favourite version
I find it really funny that Nemesis Prime himself really isn’t a super interesting character concept (‘Optimus Prime but evil and colored black and also not a main antagonist’) but he keeps coming back because his name and color scheme are ridiculously cool
I like War for Cybertron Trilogy's approach with Nemesis Prime where he's from a timeline where Optimus Prime became what Sky Lynx warned him about.
Scourge is of course my favorite of the "Nemesis Primes", because I love the figure he is a recolor of, he was more then just a clone, he was not really a throw away character, and well he was my first experience with the "Nemesis" concept. So in a way I find him to be the prime of the Nemesis Primes.
Awesome video BTW.
Video ideas:
The basics on Jazz: Let's see how the autobot's second in command changed over the years, and how he impacted the franchise.
The basics on Wheeljack: A fan favorite autobot, who was a scientist and a ninja.
The basics on Onslaught: the leader of my favorite special team.
The basics on swindle: Let's see how this con-man became one of the series most popular characters.
The basics on Brawl: my favorite combaticon, who is an over-all fun character.
The basics on female transformers: transformers is not a franchise known for it's female characters, let's give these characters some love.
That's the video subjects I whould like to see. Sorry about my grammar, I just really wanna see these subjects and characters.
Kablam zowie!
Cool. I have one too
Rodimus ( yes G1 s3 Rodimus sucks, but that doesn't mean all of them do )
Springer
Blurr
Wheelie
Wasn't Prowl the original second in command (before being replaced with Ultra Magnus)?
Mr Samaritan
I always thought jazz was second in command. I think prowl is cool, but I have little knowledge on the character. Also ultra magnus wasn't second in command until rodimus came.
I love the character, whim I first saw in tfp, but I wish the bayverse version wasn’t actually optimus himself. Instead, I wish that Quintessa had instead maintained optimus prisoner and, using her great power, created nemesis from all the anger, selfishness, and sadness of optimus prime. Then, she would send him to earth pretending to be optimus, until bumblebee would get suspicious and find out the truth.
Armada Nemesis and Universe Nemesis are my favorite versions of the character. I love the idea of a tortured and broken optimums from the universe story. But the Armada one is my go to Nemesis character. He's cold, ruthless, insane, and just scary for him to be a one off character. The best part of Nemesis though is how he doesn't pick being an Autobot or Deception.
What if optimus were tortured and as you said broken? I imagine that his personality would take a DRASTIC shift crueler had a temper that you could easily set off and more bloodthirsty possibly more sarcastic but how would the matrix take to that? And what side would he take?
Lololol Nightwolf
Thank you for this one, Chris! I personally love the less-used idea that Nemesis is a dark reflection of Optimus...the very idea that such a paragon of virtue and justice can have a cruel, hidden dark side that can potentially be exploited is too good for the story-teller in me to ignore.
And I never realized that Scourge and Armada Nemesis were the first couple incarnations we in the West ever received...makes my collection feel a teeny bit more special 😁
Scourge was the first incarnation we got in the west for Optimus Prime, but we did get one even sooner of Optimus Primal, called Onyx Primal as the name "Nemesis" hadn't been established yet and "Onyx" allowed him to keep the initials O.P. It was a Botcon Convention exclusive though.
Please do one about Nova Prime! I genuinely forgot about him but he's a freaking badass!
I’ve kind of had this idea for The Animated line, where Sentinel after being foiled by Optimus in some scheme that would see him truely go bad, would adapt to look like him after this but in black and red colors, in order to mock him and joined the decepticons.
DO A SIDEWAYS!
Scorge is defintly my favorite as he was an actual character that did stuff rather than generic one shot evil optimus prime.
I gotta say I LOVE this series. I've been watching your videos all day. Keep up the great work, this is fascinating!
Pff, Arch Nemesis Prime. Great job, McFeely.
Could you do a basics video on the Quintessons?
The Quintessons would definitely warrant a video of their own in the future in addition to that one, though!
Chris McFeely oh Primus, I have the memory of a goldfish, sorry
Chris McFeely love it.....and thankfully you did NOT include the g1 japanese exclusive 'nucleon quest convoy' which although black was NOT a nemises prime.
Chris McFeely could you also do a video on Transformers Cybertron and the Omega Lock. The show had this thing called the Omega Lock that was powered by these things called the cyber planet keys that were scattered on 4 different worlds. I was hoping you could explain more about there origin of the Omega Lock and it’s link to the different races of transformers
@@ChrisMcFeely
Since Nova Prime was mentioned near the end of the video, any chance we can get a basics on him?
Let's not forget the OG Nemesis Prime, Motormaster, leader of the Stunticons! He rivalled Optimus in a good chunk of episodes and Optimus had even disguised himself as Motormaster, along with other autobots, whom had also disguised themselves as other Stunitcons and were even able to combine into a fake Menasor!
I love your video's Chris! They are very educational!😊
I love this series so much Chris you’re doing a incredible job on these! If I have 1 suggestion it would be the combaticons.
Ah. Now I see why RID Scourge was so popular!
Wow, very impressive. I thought that Scourge was the original version, not knowing about Beast Wars II/Beast Wars Neo until much later. While I have always liked the concept, I had no idea it was so varied or had spread so far. Thank you for this video and this series, expanding the minds of fans old and new.
Unfortunately, reusing molds is a time honored if frustrating Hasbro tradition. Still, it has led to the creation of some interesting concepts and some great characters.
I concur. I believe the laser Optimus was part of the Machine Wars line, which was not well received, perhaps because none of the figures really worked for the characters they were supposed to represent.
Laser Optimus Prime was a post-G2 version of the character, Machine Wars Optimus Prime was actually a repaint of Thunderclash, a European exclusive.
I love this channel I get to learn more about my favorite characters from the Transformers universe
Scourge was the most flushed out version in my opinion and thus my favorite.
I would love to see a video on Punch/Counterpunch if you ever get around to it. Or maybe just the idea of double spies!
You are so explicit and comprehensive. I love your work.
+Chris McFeely FUCK YES, FUCK YES, FUCK YES, my absolute favorite character in all of Transformers finally gets a video made after him! Thank you so much Chris, not only did I enjoy this video the most and now my top favorite of yours, I learned new things about the history of this Character! Thank you so much! Much love and support on my end, keep it up!
Nemesis Prime is one of my favorite TF characters, so happy you made an episode for him! I even made him a main character in my own TF fanfiction xD!
The avatar of Black Repaints, Evil Duplicates, and Easy Money For Takara.
Brilliantly done, Chris. Enjoyable as always!
Dark Prime Recolors are my favorite. when I first saw Scourge[RID] as a child I fell in love. I've had many of the spychangers and I even continue to get dark prime figures to this day. Scourge himself has a special place in my heart.
My first gamertag was Scourge on xbox back in 2007, he was and still is my favourite looking transformer next to shockwave and soundwave!
Toxitron is my go-to doppelganger.
I love the entire Beast Wars Saga, every series brought a lot to the Transformers
Ultra Magnus:*facepalms *
I realize it’s late but I LOVE the interpretation of the Netflix show we’re Nemesis is a Unicron possessed version of Optimus, in the same vein (and comrade) of Galvatron
Nemesis Prime and Optimus Primal are my favorite TRANSFORMERS characters!
Interested with all the varied origins of Nemesis Prime. I think it would be cool to use an idea from the old comics. When Prime died but was rebuilt and and revived because his mind was backed up on a floppy disk. It would have been cool if then that old Prime shell was reactivate by some enemy group as Nemesis Prime.
"Bumblebee's voice" hahahahahahaha Bay has never let BB have a voice, except that one time.... at Autobot Camp! Great stuff as always Chris!
Evil mammoth is the most cool beastformer ever.
I've always thought that Motormaster had to have had some influence on this concept as well. I mean, he's a black and gray semi that sees Optimus as his rival for the title of "King of the Road".
you got that right
I always thought that it came from Knight Rider to be honest. Come to think of it there were some parallels from these two shows. Not many, but some
Why can't I stop watching this?
If Ultra Magnus was the white duplicate of Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime is simply his black duplicate. Wouldn't it be cool if there is also a black version of the Ultra Magnus toy?
Stephen Castro and then white duplicate of Nemesis and yellow or whatever duplicate of Megs? 😂
Al Zbeta i have no idea yet of that yellow duplicate of Megatron. All i know is that Nemesis Prime is a black duplicate of Optimus while Ultra Magnus is a white dulicate of him. About the black Ultra Magnus toy i am imagining, that would compose of black cab robo and whatever color of the trailer would be.
Actually there is the lucky draw black Magnus uses the same mold as car robots/ rid ultra Magnus
This was very very helpful, thank you!
My personal favorite origin is the one from Classics Nemesis Prime, long my favorite toy version until I got Darkside Prime, where he was a "nameless soldier" forcibly rebuilt into Op's likeness and programmed with his memories and skills, only to mentally snap. I used this origin as the basis for the Nem featured in the story I'm writing, but I also have a soft spot for Scourge/Black Convoy and the heroic "Knight of Darkness" Nemesis from Alternity.
Your content is way to polished my dude, you deserve way more subs than you got
I'm here because of the Netflix series.
SPOILER.
.
.
I love the idea that he is now an evil version of a future OP through Unicron, just like Galvatron
I read a fan comic from a series called "Transformers Mosaic" which features different one-shot stories from throughout the Transformers multiverse, and the one I read gave an interesting take on Nemesis Prime. In the comic, it presented Nemesis as having been a jealous former co-worker of Orion Pax who tried to have him killed, and when that failed, he forced Alpha Trion into giving him an upgrade, turning him into a black duplicate of Optimus. I really like this idea and would like to see it implemented in official TF media, and maybe have him be a bit like RID!Scourge where he's a dangerous free agent with his own agenda.
As a side thought, the Prime version of Nemesis shares similarities with Bizarro of all things. A dull pallet clone created by the mad science of a villain voiced by Clancy Brown. Silas for one, Lex Luthor for another. Coincidence or homage? No idea. But I found it a neat observation all the same.
Scourge is too good to be lumped in with the rest of these guys
BattleUp Saber i agree scourge is an actual character who was an intragral part of the story rather than a one shot evil optimus prime by far my favorite evil optimus.
There's a lot of transformers out there that are important characters to one story and then just a throwaway homage in other stories, Scouge is no exception.
Yes Scouge name is cool.
BattleUp Saber love Scourge.
Scourge Prime. they should name the next recolor that.
“Arch Nemesis Prime” that should be what he’s called
I like this video also i made a video about soundwaves minions in the movievers i hope you could do a g1 spin on it 👍
Awesome video again.
Damn it, Chris, Archnemesis Prime? I DID NOT WANT THAT TOY UNTIL NOW
I should stress that's not his actual name, just me being silly!
Scurge was dope AF
ALSO black war greymon
I really like these videos!
Nemesis was my favourite part of Armada, I remember rewatching those episodes all the time back in the day
I can tell you had fun making this episode
Which name do you prefer nemesis prime or black convoy?
Jashandeep Singh both
I thought they were the same
sorry read the comment wrong- I think nemesis prime sounds cooler
Nemesis Prime is how I knew him
I think they both sound doofy. Honestly, I'd say part of the reason Scourge is the only one that actually stuck around is that "Scourge" is a much better name. Unfortunately, that name's taken.
Really enjoy your videos.
I have always been a huge transformers fan,But I have always considered motormaster and the stunticons evil versions of the autobots,But I like the idea behind Nemesis prime too.
I hope one day you do a video on the basics on the stunticons
I love nemesis prime he’s one of the most badass transformers ever😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎😊👍🏻!!! So is scourge nemesis ? yeah pretty much I guess lol 😂
Great video might have to pick up some of these versions of prime at Megacon
Always look forward to your videos man. Someday I hope you do Springer
If I could do a Nemesis Prime storyline, my version would be he's the evil version from the shatter glass universe.
You should do a spin off "Basics -Spotlight" seties where you showcase a different G1 character each week. And use the regular Basics series for broader topics like, Triple Changers, Seakers, Wreckers and Artifacts of the Primes.
That was really good and maybe you could do basics on
The most powerful transformers weapons
Scourge is defintly my favorite evil optimus prime. He has a character and his status as a reoccuring character gave him a more felt pressence.
Guiltor! Omg, I conceived of that idea way back in the 80s when I used to write TF stories. Mine had Primes body and Megatrons hard, with two fusion cannons, he started off like a guardian robot with no life, but earned life by helping the Autobots. I also thought of Omegawave, the alternative future leader that Unicron turns Shockwave into 😁
An evil version of the face of the franchise? Who in his first appearance went by "Scourge"? A'm i seeing a coincidence? Sonic the hedgehog Archie story, i'm looking at you.
Love the coverage, I didn't know about the lineage of the japanese black convoy. Thanks for filling the gaps in my own information! Only thing I'd have added if I had a highly successful and awesome transformers show was the inclusion of Rodimus Unicronus due to his sweet sweet biker stache!
I always liked Scourge and the Combati-Decepti-Whatevercons, though I was never a fan of Car Robots or the Unicron Trilogy.
Speaking of Big Convoy, shellformers, partsformers, faux-parts, and other toy-gripes that have marred the series over the years could make for an interesting episode.
Great run-down. Let's see more of Nemesis Prime. Can we have a run-down of Emirate Xaaron? Many thanks :-)
Basics on Cliffjumper
Captain Michael J. Caboose yeah that would be great
He is to transformers what Kenny is to south park.
Patrick Milewski I think your thinking of dirge cliffjumper has only died 3 times
This episode deserves an update.
Nenesis is one of my favorite transformers! I really wish he had come to life in prime. That would have been very interesting!
Hey Nemesis, Black War Greymon called--He wants his character back!
I remember that in the classic G1 transformers cartoon, Optimus Prime once disguised himself as Motormaster. (Could this be considered to be the unofficial "First version of Nemesis Prime"?)
Wait, he faded out of existence?
I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD
(sorry not sorry)
Reese's
Thanks for this!!
Nemesis Prime looks to be making an appearance in the next chapter of Netflix's TRANSFORMERS:WAR FOR CYBERTRON series, EARTHRISE.
we need more of this guy
Great thanks for your knowledge.
I love the idea of Nemesis being a version of Optimus when all the bad things that Optimus thought is true. That would be a great movie or show to have Optimus try to fight the dark thoughts and not try to become Nemesis.
