Weibo user TF-Factory has shared an image of the back of the packaging of the upcoming Power Of The Primes Nemesis Prime.
Nemesis Prime (repaint and remold of POTP Evolution Optimus Prime) was revealed previously via a Russian Transformers page. While the images of the figure are hidden, we have a look at the bio of the character: “If Optimus Prime is the universe’s hope shining beacon, his evil clone Nemesis Prime is its doomsday black hole. He possesses the same strength and intelligence as the Autobot Leader, but is vile and without remorse, and driven to eliminate all on his path”.
The back of the box reveals that this figure will include the Dark Matrix Of Leadership and the Decepticon Giza. This drone (?) looks like a bird, and seems to be a combination of the weapons included. You can take your guess.
You can check out the mirrored image after the jump, and then sound off at the 2005 Boards!

thank my three years of latin in high school
i dont remember much of it, but i do remember looking up transformer names to find out their meanings haha
Altered Prime
Well thank you very much I appreciate that I had a feeling that was a bigger backstory with the practice Of kissing certain things
Altered Prime
Ge/she didn’t miss that point the problem is you didn’t exactly make it
Your exact words were…..
“doesn’t actually mean”….Which apparently it actually does
Nothing about it not being the only definition what are you claimed was that it isn’t the definition at all
Are you suggesting he would be responsible for the aliens coming to this world? If so then I guess I can see your point there
SaberPrime
You kinda missed my point that it's not the only definition.
Also to answer your second question, as most people tend to believe that the devil is the source of all evil he would never make such a deal. Or such a deal would have a catch so it's not exactly what you think like maybe he grants world peace and then the same we're invaded by another world and everyone dies.

ONLINE LATIN DICTIONARY – Latin – English
Actually pax is simply Latin for peace. What you mentioned is a derivative definition stemming from the fact that the early Roman Catholic Church was entirely in latin

Perhaps the cab robot could be called Scourge Convoy or Scourge Tyrannus? It'd be a good way to included a homage to the RID01 Scourge character.
Primeultra
Actually you are mistaken about that
Pax actually means “the kiss of peace”
I’m not sure if you had a religious type but if you’ve ever been to a church or some other service and which way you sure the priests kiss let’s say the crucifix or any other objects used to present the sacrament… The Kissy of those objects is called a pax and it means the kiss of peace
Wouldn’t that depend on what you’re asking Of the devil?
I mean if you ask him to end the war then it would be peaceful Wouldn’t it
By the way buddy how you been?
SaberPrime
Problem with that is, it's like calling the other guy Optimus Pax. I'd like to avoid simply calling him Nemesis.
Also Pax doesn't actually mean peace. At best it's an agreement or pact which could lead to peace under specific conditions but that's not the only way to interpret it. A pact with the devil wouldn't be peaceful for example.

Actually Nemesis Pax would work really well: Enemy of Peace
Nevermore
I assume he has a name on the packaging that was purpled out in the leaked images.

Though I like scourge I think they should go with black convoy as the inner bot name I don’t know why I feel that it fits better.
thedicemaster
wouldn't scourge be a possible inner bot name?
he's also(sometimes) an evil optimus clone, but he doesn't use a leader title.
and he's the origin of the idea for nemesis prime.
CopperPuppet
…Not Peaceful?
That shares initials with Nemesis Prime!
payres
Since Pax is a synonym for Peace (Orion Pax = Peace Hunter) it really ought not to be on a Decepticon toy…… unless you can find something for Tyranny as the other half of the name!
SaberPrime
I have to agree with Wishful Thinking here, we've never had a cartoon accurate Orion Pax before so comparing the PotP figure to Power Master Optimus Prime is like apples and oranges, they look nothing alike.
Anyway, what should we call this pre-Prime evil counterpart to Orion Pax? OP gets to keep the same initials so I'm thinking Nexus Pax or Nebula Pax.

*secretly hoping the prime card homages a HUGE amount of different evil primes*

If there's a Megatron that needs an evolution gimmick or at least a new toy in general even if its a retool of a previous toy it's Beast Wars Megatron. With Optimus Primal getting a new figure for POTP in the form of Optimal Optimus it's fitting that the Predacon leader also gets his time to shine again along with his nemesis.
CopperPuppet
Well, seeing a Megatron in the Evolution gimmick would be cool, but the only way I could see it happening would be for Megatron to evolve into say, Galvatron or such.
Which to me would seem a shame. Having a Leader sized Galvatron might be decent enough next to Rodimus, but assuming it follows the same pattern as the others, that'd mean we'd end up with a Megatron scaled with the Orion Pax. I'd want a Megatron line to display by Optimus, but inthis case… I'll keep my PotP Optimus by my CW Megatron.
On the subject of Nemesis though, I'm still surprised to see a return of an Arms Micron in some form. I liked those things, so I hope it's a sign of things to come, even though it's probably a one-off homage. I'm disappointed a bit in the Nemesis Orion's headsculpt? I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it looks like the actual Nemesis head here, which is fine but it just seems a bit awkward on the Orion body here.
