I need this and so do you
If you’re watched the recent Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise, there was a point where it looked like the dark mirror version of Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime, also known as Black Convoy, would make an appearance. However, the only time we saw him was during a vision that lasted a few seconds. Yet, it was undeniably him; those dark red eyes and the black-themed paint job – it was Nemesis Prime.
He’s like Optimus Prime if he got up on the wrong side of the bed. Just as imposing, just as powerful, just without the morals. A bot that would give even Megatron or Galvatron a run for their money and then some.
Despite that, it didn’t stop Hasbro from releasing a Nemesis Prime toy, just in time for the Earthrise season release. In fact, the box that Nemesis Prime comes in doesn’t even state the character’s name and has several mentions of this particular toy containing spoilers.
As you can see below, it’s just a repaint of Optimus Prime, but that doesn’t mean Nemesis Prime isn’t worth picking up. Unlike Optimus, who comes with a shield and his trusty cannon, Nemesis comes with a red plasma sword, a couple of Energon cubes, and some savage arm gun mounts. This version of Nemesis Prime is similar to the Power of the Primes version, with some slight differences.
This character isn’t new to anyone who’s familiar with the Transformers. While he has multiple backstories and has different variants, one constant remains throughout; he is the complete opposite of Optimus Prime.
I’d scoop him up if you can find him, as it has become increasingly tough to find. So far, I’ve found several stores selling the toy; Walmart, Big Bad Toy Store, and Amazon. There are also a few on eBay, but as you’d imagine, they’re also priced higher due to people looking to make a quick buck.
If you haven’t watched Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise and you’re a fan of the Transformers, we highly recommend that you give it a watch. Or the very least, check out our review or give our Spoilercast a watch.
