Every now and then, something so pure, so destructive threatens the balance. Introducing NEMESIS PRIME. An alien abysmal and malevolent life force bent on destroying worlds. "It" cloned Optimus Prime, took his form, his power, his strength and proceeded to destroy everything in its path; including Autobots and Decepticons.

Available now and starting to ship from our warehouse by December 14th. Just in time for Christmas for many of you! International customers - it might take a second or two to reach you but it'll be on it's way, just as long as it's not throttling Santa Claus, destroying his Village and BBQ'ing the Reindeer. I mean, the dude is bad. NEMESIS PRIME is currently our last Prime incarnation in the 8" Form. Sure to be a classic so definitely grab one if you can! Keep on eye on the dude - not even Elf on a Shelf can stop this bad mamba-jamba. Elf on a Shelf...please, this dude will use that poor elf as his permanent back scratcher.

I guess it's so pricey because of the limited edition status?

I prefer this one which actually transforms and has a jetpack that fits on Classics/Henkei/United Voyager Prime/Nemesis Prime/Magnus (and only costs $70 instead of $80):

One of the very few times a third party toy is cheaper than the real deal I guess, but like I said, that's probably just because it's a limited edition.

Wait... I thought:

Black + Red + Teal = Nemesis Prime

Black + Red + Gold = Dark Side/Elite Guard/Good Optimus

Side Note: I would totally get the Classics Nemesis Prime TFC thing if it were just the backpack (for $20-$30).

So what does that make this one? It's Black + Red + Silver.

Both categories above have silver, but this one does indeed have gold!

In no way is that a solid rule of thumb, as several figures have broken it:

- The original THS-02B had teal, yet was G1 Optimus Prime
- The United Black Optimus Prime, despite the teal and

was again G1 Optimus Prime, this time undercover.
- Animated Black Optimus Prime is not evil, he's still Animated Prime (tho in your defense, he was repurposed in US fiction)

This Nemesis Prime does have a basis tho: Kre-O Microchanger Nemesis Prime.
