Transformers Prime "Nemesis Prime" Promo Clip

Cue Voyager mold repaint in traditional "Nemesis" colors.

We all know it's a MECH-designed clone made to give the 'Bots a bad name. People have been calling that since the episode with the DNGS (whose name eludes me at the moment).

I had no knowledge of this episode...now I is excited!

Evil repaints ARE having episodes built around them this season?

Then maybe Flamewar WILL actually show up! Prime has already developed some of the worst internal continuity problems of any TF cartoon, but tossing her in would totally redeem them in my eyes.

It was called "Convoy".

they did this in G1. burger was awesome.

Goes Rouge...?

Like...

A rogue Prime would be cool, but I'm not so sure about a rouge Prime. "I am Fabulous Prime! Autobots, transform and glam out!"

You must be an English teacher, right?

This show's epic level just increased.

Maybe this is how Hasbro plans to re-issue the FE mold... if they actually do.

At the Cybertron convention, they pulled out a 3 minute or so trailer of NP's arrival at the base. It looks utterly fantastic. This episode will be a whole lot of fun! Can't wait.

I hope mech has made some unexpected 'improvements' to their prime clone.

Predictable. I can already guess what happens.

so um please share your "revelations" with us meek mortals.

No. Don't do another 'evil' Prime story... you already spent that nickel.

All he did was encrypt files cause Megatron deceived him into doing so, did Orion ever flip out and shoot up the place off screen or something?

I smell the obvious scent of MECH shenanigans....

Nope and he didn't even get any chance to attack the autobots while he was on the Cons side.

Not positive, but:

Prime appears to go crazy, yet at base he seems fine. In the end it turns out it's the bot Mech was trying to create.

This show keeps getting better! After the amount of awesome in last episode I'm super excited for this one.

Willing to bet that we see 'Screamer come skulking out of the treeline after the inevitable battle that scraps the impostor and he snatches his t-cog out of the twisted remains and high tails it out of there. Either that or he's instrumental in the impostors defeat by attempting to reclaim his part ala "The way to a 'Bots T-cog is through his exhaust port".

My vote is on the latter scenario but then, I have something of a ruthless streak in me.

Is it just me or did it sound like Optimus said, "I am Optimus Trime." I could swear that he said that.

He does, but there's also a noticeable distortion in the voice that 1) indicates it is a MECH clone (due to that shot of Silas in the clip), and 2) to add more menace to the voice.

I was fortunate enough to catch an FE Prime where I live, but I'm not sure whether or not I'd go for a Nemesis recolor. As it is, I would prefer to get FE Bumblebee and then consider Hot Shot for the RID mold.

But after Crossfire and Megatron going all gladiator, my love for this show is increasing with each episode.

Also, considering that this is likely a MECH-related episode, I'm glad they didn't use "Operation" in the title like they did with previous episodes where MECH directly attacks a Transformer (Operation Breakdown and Operation Bumblebee, respectively). Though Nemesis Prime and Convoy follow the Optimus theme...

This Saturday, Nemesis Prime will make his debut in Transformers: Prime. However, my question is will Optimus and Nemesis will be separate character as shown in Transformers: Armada, or will Optimus and Nemesis be one and the same?

?????????? do you watch this show at all?

Is anyone else hoping that Nemesis Prime will be built from the parts of Breakdown that were found and will eventually regain Breakdown's memories and personality? Also, since he'll be built from Breakdown's parts, MECH will now have 2 T-Cogs lying around, so Starscream can get his back maybe?

Comics Continuum have posted a teaser image for this week's all new episode of Transformers Prime, "Nemesis Prime". Don't forget to tune in the Hub with Saturday at 8:30pm ET | 5:30pm PT.

"Optimus Prime seems to go on a destructive rampage, while MECH unveils their ultimate plan."

Faded red and blue colors with yellow eyes might make him be a MECH-made clone, or it could just be the lighting due to the annoying evening time of day.

Anyone else bugged by how often this show is set during the evening, as opposed to just regular blue sky daylight?

I'm annoyed by that too. I'd like more night-time battles actually

I'm annoyed by the lack of inviroment.

This is actually a very common film technique, used throughout the industry. The lighting is much more dramatic at the beginning and ending of the day due to the angle of the light and the shift in colors. Which is very important when the main characters are so reflective.

I'm just sick of all the evening scenes since it looks just so depressing and dreary. The nighttime scenes all look cool, and the daytime scenes all look bright and appealing. But with the evening ones, the colors all look washed out and dull, as though they're trying to hammer it into us that this show is not supposed to be fun and will not be fun no matter how much we want it to be.

This was one of the big reasons the "Darkness Rising" pilot just bored me. So much of it took place during the evening that all the faded, gloominess of it really detracted from my enjoyment of it.

well the kids don't get out of school or off wor until late afternoon early evening 5 out of 7 days a week......hehe does anyone think the writers think of such things or am I crazier than a armadillo.

And yet, the new episodes air after dark at night on only 1 out of 7 days a week, that day being the one that isn't a school night and is suppose to be a day of rest (Saturday).

Has anyone bothered to think that less civilians are out during the late evening and night. Making it a much better time for the Autobots to operate. It seems that the battles that take place during the day are for emergencies.

And just how often are the Autobots even in areas with civilians? Most of the time, they're out in some desert valley or the woods. I don't see what's wrong with them being out during broad daylight in such locations.

Besides, when we see them in a city, they're usually in vehicle mode, or it's nighttime.

IGN have posted an exclusive preview clip of this Saturday's all new episode of Transformers Prime "Nemesis Prime". Check out the embedded video below.

Be sure to tune into the Hub this Saturday, April 7th at 8:30pm ET.

Arcee is seemingly attacked by Optimus. In the wake of this disturbing incident, she discusses the situation with the other Autobots, including Ratchet, as they ponder the scary ramifications of what this means.

Interesting enough. I assume "Nemesis Prime" Will be dead by the episode's end, however. If it's not, it'd be a miracle.

Blue eyes = real Optimus.

You know, if one owned both the Hasbro and Takara versions of the FE Voyager Optimus figure, one could use the Takara figure for the real Optimus, and the Hasbro figure (with its lighter, more faded colors) as Nemesis Prime.

I think(hope) he'll be defeated, but his remains will vanish or we'll see his hand move(or something) to signal that he's still alive but he'll disappear until later this season or even next season when he returns with an all black paint job.

Theyre robots in disguise lad, theyve made it clear that they cant be in robot mode unless theyre in that one random forest or canyon

my thoughts: they really didnt do evil prime, and i dont think they could, cause they made a point to say that even when he was orion pax he still felt the same way as an autobot. the clip itself was cool, but i kept expecting there to be something wrong with prime when he drove into the base, the way the camerawork was. And yea, i suppose this is kinda predictable sci-fi stuff, the evil doppelganger. which leads to my ultimate point/concern: i dont really believe that a duplicate of Prime that causes hijinks could really be MECH's endgame. maybe it's on the way, like NP's is their protypical first working transformer, or maybe they want someone as powerful as Prime, but i really feel like MECH has bigger ambitions than that, like now theyre working stealthily but eventually theyd have the big hostile takeover.

Uh, at what point did I say "I want them in robot mode in a city"?

ILL-Star was saying that their not being out during the day was due to there being more civilians out at that time, and I was refuting that claim since they're often away from civilian locations and/or in altmode when in civilian locations.

What I AM saying is that, since they're often away from civilization, they have no reason to not come out during the day.

they have though, metal attraction, one of the premier eps, masters and students, and several others were in the daytime, and in parts where no humans were. there were others too i just dont remember them. i just think the most recent have been evening eps, or the parts that stand out in most episodes are in the evening. a fair amount of action in the operation bumblebees were in the daytime i think. But i do agree that theres no reason for them to be in vehicle mode in the middle of nowhere
