The Energon Pub

A little while back I picked up a duplicate of the 20th Anniversary Edition Optimus Prime through an ebay bid for a custom MP01 trailer. I decided that I would attempt my first custom paint job, creating my own version of Nemesis Prime/Scourge.



The full gallery of his creation and additional shots are here;

Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed making it.

i really like it. only crit i can give is the lack of details like metallic cab lights and shoulder vents. overall, clean job and most importantly, looks like factory.

yeah nice job but i agree with the above poster, it lacks detail.

y'know, that never came to mind. I ought to get some silver paint and detail not only the lights, but perhaps also the windsheild wipers. Thanks for the insights!

Wow. You completely dismantled a Masterpiece toy! Brave soul!

Nice work you did there.

If I had Masterpiece Optimus I wouldn't risk of ruing him because of a Dig Bash You are brave, young one.

thanks guys!

I figured risking prime was okay being that I already have the Takara version of him in my collection.. lol

What did you use to modify the helmet?

Scourge...

That's all I'm saying

Actually, that is pretty bad ass though, just named him the wrong thing

Are Nemesis Prime and Scourge related? Are they one and the same character?

I thought Scourge and Nemesis Prime were the same character.. or similar characters between two difference universes. I could be wrong though.. I really didn't pay much attention to any TF franchise beyond G1 :/

*runs off to wikipedia*

Auto Bot; the helmet I fashioned from a black plastic dvd case cut to size (tweezers and an exacto knife? yeah, that's safe) and those small round pieces were sliced off of the inside tube of a bic pen. I was really surprised that they fit so nicely together.

Ingenious!

Scourge=a bad ass

Nemesis Prime is either a mammoth or a mindless war machine from Armada.

Not related?

Scurrrr... Score... scour...

can't...bring...self...to...call...him... Scwerrrrgeee*gag*

NO! The unholy of unholies!

Scourge already exists! he was created by Unicron! All other transformers are inferior to G1! *shakes fist*

*grumbles as he walks away*

Hey everyone,

Here he is. My final version of Nemesis Prime. New smokestacks, painted cab lights and vents.





Cheers,
Dev

25th official time she's had to correct people this year

scourge is proper here, but call him what you want, you did a fantastic job on him. i like the added smokestacks and fine details you added since your first post. that was all he needed. i can get these primes here for clearance price. may get 2 for UM and nemy/scourge repaints.

Clearance price eh? Funny you should mention that. I'm looking for another masterpiece prime for another prime figure I want to build. Do you have any prices you could throw my way? These days, ebay is far too bloated on their prices. Let me know either way!

First, Prime.

Then, Ultra Magnus.

Now, it's you, Nemesis Prime.

What's next?

"Dark Awakening" Prime ... ... ...

Good job.. I like the colours..
