Nucleon Quest Optimus Prime was a Japanese-exclusive black repaint of Super Ginrai. Yes, it really was named Optimus Prime 20-odd years ago. The colors aren't the same as Nemesis Prime.

Should have given him purple windows and one shoulder symbol to match Ginrai instead of Super Ginrai's red windows which do give him a bit more of a Scourge/Nemesis vibe.

Yeah needs blue chest windows since that sculpt looks like the cab bot and not the super mode. Ah well, they're clearly just milking some repaints while they can.
