Seriously Will, why didn't these get even a mention?
Nucleon Quest Super Convoy might displace another of those listed in my book. He would at least get an honorable mention.

Fair point.. I got confused by the thread title, because Will didn't start a new thread even though a Nemesis Prime-specific list isn't a straight update of the list that started this thread.megatronus wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I would push RiD Scourge to the top slot, and toss one of the other slots for a tie between these two:

None of these are Nemesis Primes.
Eh. It's cool and all, but it's still an undersize imitation that's missing features.RacerCheetor wrote:It's great that a Beast Wars mold is the first.
I would have exchanged positions 5 and 2, the LG-EX is an excellent remastered mold of Scourge.

Yeah, and fictional-speaking (for Japanese fiction, specifically), the first Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy to appear in G1 fiction was the Binaltech version, who had that toy's pickup truck body before Optimus got one of his own in his colors.william-james88 wrote:But yeah not a fan of simple redecos of G1 Primes being given a Nemesis/Scourge paint job since Nemesis/Scourge never was G1 prime in black and teal until it became the defacto lazy redeco.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Well, I brought up those two Primes more thinking of the thread title rather than the Nemesis Prime focus of your list anyway.
I felt they were at least deserving of a mention because ROTF Black Optimus eschews the typical black-with-teal-accents colors, and the DotM one is more traditional but IMO wears the teal particularly well because it's used for the flames plus he has the Jetwing parts for extra flare.
But they aren't Nemesis Primes anyway, so never mind.

I know this Nemesis was just a human controlled robot, but he was a formidable opponent and I feel that still fits the bill. It's a mold that doesn't get a lot of love, but I still feel that it's great.

Nemesis Prime is literally a clone of Optimus (it even says so in the bio: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nemesis_Prime_(G1)), so of course it makes sense for him to be color palette-swapped.
