TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on THE NEMESIS

Hot on the heels of its long-awaited released in toy form in the "Legacy" line this summer, we're finally taking a look at the Decepticon space cruiser that serves as the evil counterpart to the Autobot's iconic Ark: THE NEMESIS!

It never consciously clicked with me until now that the Decepticons’ underwater base in G1 wasn’t the same Nemesis they crashed with. I haven’t watched through the show since Elementary School so I’ve remembered the two ships as being the same this entire time.

[@ChrisMcFeely]

Honestly, it's a really common misconception! It just feels like it *should* be that way, especially with how the Nemesis has been handled since BW. I think it's the interesting little core of this video's story!

[@megatronacepticon]

Even after watching Beast Wars I thought that. Wasn't until the Transformers Wiki mentioned Microbots that I found out it wasn't. The ship in Microbots bearing zero resemblance to the Nemesis while the base looks somewhat like it doesn't help avoid the confusion.

Trypticon explicitly being mentioned in Transformers Prime would have been amazing. Imagine an entire episode dedicated to the Nemesis transforming back into Godzilla mode.

Man, them using the Nemesis as the final threat of Beast Wars is so perfect. There were 4 million years that it wasn't seen and using it is almost such a perfectly full circle way to wrap up the generation 1 story.

[@brianlevine871]

It's amazing how "Beast Wars" elevated the threat of what began as a seemingly standard ship, and inspired future series to continue using that name and status. The fact that it has its own robot mode is also pretty cool and I like how the helmet resembles the Decepticon logo.

[@TheUncivilizedNation]

I love the Nemesis as much as the next guy but it’s popularity means the Victory is all but forgotten despite the fact that it did so much more in the original cartoon

Can we just talk about the fact that beast wars established so many parts of transformers lore that stuck around? Sparks, protoforms, the nemesis, the maximals/Predacons, I would argue beast wars would be able to take the title of the most influential transformers show in terms of it’s contributions to the franchise as a whole, maybe aside from G1 itself

[@ToaArcan]

@@VictorIV0310 No, they were meant to be in the same continuity, but the Prime writers refused to play ball with everyone else. High Moon actually altered things in FoC to be more closely tied to Prime. They gave Cliff a new head, based on his Prime design, and did the same with Megatron in his rebuilt body. They also showed Shockwave getting his left arm torn off, leading to it being replaced with the cannon he has in Prime, and Optimus' Path Blaster is basically an upscaled version of his Prime arm blasters. They used the Prime warship as direct inspiration for Trypticon's spacecraft mode. Meanwhile the writers on Prime actively tried to break continuity with the games as much as possible, despite the fact that they were meant to be part of the same continuity.

[@ApologeticPyro]

Ngl I’d do the same lol

[@soniccooldude54]

This was a retcon. One of many that the aligned continuity would very rarely address. The transfomers universe between TFprime, the high moon games, and so on were never actually made with the intent of linking with eachother. Thats just the decission that hasbro made afterwards in an effort to conjoin and streamline transformers brands back then.

[@mattr75]

I wonder how the Nemesis robot mode will be incorporated into future Transformers stories alongside the Ark

[@TheAutisticOwl]

In my AU, she was created by studying stolen blueprints of The Ark and she's, like, very simple minded, for lack of a better term. As in she has a spark, but she needs to be given commands to do anything. My Soundwave has telepathy (or is possibly a city speaker like Windblade but i haven't settled on that yet) and he can easily control/give commands to Nemesis in her robot mode.

[@Loremastrful]

As impressive as the Nemesis is as a flagship, its a shame it isn't the head of a fleet. Now, we have enough Deceptijets to float our own Air Force but a Dark Fleet or some dropships wouldn't be refused.

[@anthonyrodriguez8788]

Unfortunately most versions of the Decepticons dont really have the resources to have an armada on account of them being on the verge of extinction in most media. the only time I can think of where the Decepticons have a proper Armada is in Transformers IDW, in the IDW Comics the Nemesis is one of many ships classified as Worldburners, it's definitely not leading Armada's but it is used by Gi Joe as a base after it crashes.

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

last time any sign of an armada was seen on tv media (unless Cyberverse and beyond had some) was Armada and Energon where the war was still ongoing in Armada and joined with the Autobots to face Unicron while in Energon the same ships are seen lifting off to join Megatron (decepticon criminals who either were already criminals or couldn't get with being at peace with the autobots) but stopped by the planetary defense grid

[@jozeph2932]

My headcanon is that the Ark and Nemesis are 2 of several Ark ships used to leave Cybertron with them being called Ark: Exodus and Ark: Nemesis. Omega Supreme and Trypticon are also Ark ships with Omega as Ark: Genesis and Trypticon as Ark: Antithesis. All of them were built in Cybertron's Golden Era as part of an Armada known as the Ark Fleet.

[@frozarburst6350]

This is just so funny to me. I like to imagine the Nemesis in the Legacy line was actually Trypticon at one point. But while stuck in stasis for so long and used as a ship, he decided to become a woman to psych Megatron out.

[@blockbuilder4762]

What’s also interesting is that in the War for Cybertron game, the decepticon’s had a ship that looked very much like the G1 nemesis. I think you only see it for a few scenes before it blows up, but I thought it was a nice homage. Maybe they would have addressed that ship as “The Victory”.

[@WelshGiraffa]

If only they had the budget we would have seen the nemesis transform back to Trypticon in Prime but we all know they blew their budget on the Unicron clones

[@TFfangeek]

It's incredible how the Nemesis went from being a one time starship that crashed and was left to be forgotten, to being the most iconic Decepticon space vessel that creates such a massive threat to the Autobots, it now transforms into a robot mode. I decided to name the Legacy Nemesis's robot mode: "Nemesis Maxima" due to the Ark's robot mode being based on Autonomous Maximus (a.k.a. The Last Autobot). These names mean "The greatest nemesis" and "the greatest morals" respectively.

[@captainfordo3978]

Here's a theory. If Trypticon continued searching the Earth for Iacon Relics, do you think it would ever cross his mind that infusing larger doses of Dark Energon into his systems might give him enough energy to fully repair his body & regain the ability of transformation? He'll probably need a new T-Cog since his old one got destroyed back in the War for Cybertron video game (or he may not need one if the Dark Energon infusion takes care of that problem for him).

[@ChrisMcFeely]

Well, that assumes that the Dark Energon-induced personality the ship exhibits is Trypticon's consciousness. When I interviewed the writer of the episode many years ago for a podcast, he said that he was aware of the ship's Trypticon backstory when writing it, but that he didn't think of the personality the ship displayed as being "Trypticon reawakened." So if we think of it as a new personality born of Dark Energon, would it even *want* to transform?

[@captainfordo3978]

I wonder if the Dark Energon-induced personality would even know it could transform. I think that once it finds out that it can transform, I can see 2 possibilities. [1]. The transformation would be saved & used as a last resort if any & all plans to retrieve Iacon Relics failed. *(Come to think of it, what was the Warship's plans after finishing "Priority 1 - Decode Iacon Database & Retrieve All Relics of Decepticon Origins"? My only guess would be to take all the weapons to Cybertron and use them to attack & destroy Cybertron's Core aka Primus. Since the Warship's powered by Dark Energon, it probably takes orders from Unicron himself).* [2]. Testing to see if the transformation fully works or not, in which I can guess would use up a chunk of it's Energon supplies transforming back & forth from GIANT KAIJU MECHA to Decepticon Warship over and over again.

[@ChrisMcFeely]

I've always thought it smelled severely of a dropped subplot. The episode goes out of its way to include dialogue from characters expressing surprise at the ship having weapons they didn't know it had; when Ratchet asks it WHY it's collecting the relics, there's a moment of tense silence before it hangs up on him without giving an answer; it really seemed like there was a story planned that didn't get told there about the ship, and why it had this gear and this objective nobody knew about.

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

@@ChrisMcFeely One reason assuming there wasn't already a way to, actually taking the relics since I don't think the ship had any way to actually grab anything so unless Dark Energon could reconfigure the hull to form arms of some kind the ship may need to transform to actually get the relics

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

It took decades for the Decepticon ship to be given a proper transformable figure

[@TheRezro]

It is my personal opinion. But I prefer idea from Animated that Omega Supreme is the Arc, alongside Fall of Cyberton idea that Trypticon is the Nemesis. It simply make sense, alongside explaining early introduction.

[@Biorythym]

I would have added "Project Nemesis" from Transformers Earthrise. Megatrons plan to create a starship Ark, but fueled by the sparks of thousands of cybertronians. As a small anecdote, while Shockwave stayed behind on the Nemesis during in the comics. the the G1 cartoon, it was the Insecticons that were left behind, though when the Nemesis went down they ejected in an escape craft before it crashed

[@Gilmore-Devoss]

Personally after finding out that the corpse of tripticon was used to build the nemesis I personally believe that when Megatron adds dark energon to the fuel system tripticon pseudo wakes up and has a bit of an axe to grind with Megatron for what he did

I always thought the new decepticons that show up later were recovered from the Nemesis. Like Blitzwing, Astrotrain, and the coneheads were the crew left behind. And that they were pulled out by the decepticons who didn't go with Megatron to attack Autobot HQ.

@@sonicguyver7445 By that point they came up with the space bridge, which was used as a plot device to bring in a number of new transformers on both sides in the Marvel comics. The Autobots seemed to be able to gain access to it when ever they needed.

Another reason why Beast Wars was the GOAT. It actually built lore that was relatively consistent without breaking itself, unlike the multiple Constructicon origin stories.

We want our battle between Ark and Nemesis. Give it to us, Hasbro!

There are 2 versions of the Power of the Primes history, and both fail are being about the power of the Primes. Great retrospective as usual!
