The Energon Pub

No matter which is your favorite be it machine or beast there is no denying (IMO), seeing any one of these great figures try and emulate the heroic Autobot leader is epic. So I was curious in the wake of the just announced awesome looking Grand Sourge, (which will be mine) which is your favorite evil Prime? Are you a hard core fan of these TFs and got every representation or just select ones?

I have always enjoyed the fact of a anti-Optimus Prime so my personal favs are....


Hunter Go! Nemesis Prime

Xovergen Trailer Force (not Nucleon Quest Super Convoy) This guy is awesome on looks alone!

United Dark Side OP


Which is your favorite or favorites and who was your first evil OP? My first was Takara Black Convoy RID and it was just capital!

Also there's the upcoming TAV-13 Nemesis Prime and AOE Black Knight Optimus Prime. Both look great but TAV-13 is a instant buy for me. I will have to think AOEBKOP over a bit.

I'm a bit picky with mine, in fact I only have two:

Car Robots D-012 Black Convoy

RiD 2001 Scourge, for lack of proper images

RiD Spychanger Scourge

Tiny but still an original mold!

I tend to favor the ones with more character than "I'm an evil clone and stuff". Those include:

- CR Black Convoy / RiD Scourge
- Universe 2003 Nemesis Prime

It's a shame toys for them are hard to come by.

RiD Scourge is the only real answer.

This mold is perfect for Nemesis Prime. He looks incredible.

I like "Black" Optimuses, but have never had much of any luck finding any of them. I don't think I've ever seen them in stores other than the two Scourge figures from the original RID.

Spychanger Scourge was my first one, since that was the first released here, and he looks good, but is too limited in poseability due to his spychanger nature. Still, he's scaled really well to the Korean Brave Max I had to import because Hasbro never put out RID Fort Max.

The full size RID Scourge though, wow, a truly awesome figure, one of my top ten of all time, and it's mind blowing that he's a redeco of a G2 toy yet still holds up very well against a lot of modern stuff.


I really wish the G2 Prime from RTS had gotten a mass market release in Scourge colors. I still think the RID one looks better, but it still would have been cool to have had a chance at getting it.

I actually just bought this and ordered the Renderform head which makes it look doubly epic.

This is also my favorite.

I'm curious how that will look...post some pics if you can.

Actually nevermind, totally read that wrong and was thinking of a different figure.

Forgot to mention, I had a chance of getting another one few years back:


SDCC 2008 Nemesis Prime (l.) and United Black Optimus Prime (r.)

The one of the left, which is the one I prefer of the two. He breaks the mold a bit with his colors, so he stands out a little more from the traditional "black and teal with red windows". That makes slightly more unique to me

What he said.

JAFCon is my favorite

Are we counting black versions of Optimus Prime too, and all?
