Created from alien saurians on a long-dead planet, the Nemesis Dinobots are here! Fueled by dark energon, these simple-minded creatures will protect their dark masters without a word! Autobots and Dinobots had better watch out against these dark-energon blade-wielding monstocities!
Nemesis Grimlock (ネメシスグリムロック Nemeshisu Gurimurokku) is a hugely powerful Transformer, and it exerts that power in the service of just one 'bot; Nemesis Prime (the berserker clone of Optimus Prime). Nemesis Grimlock exists only to serve and protect its master, and can use its newly aquired zhuchengtyrannus magnus mode to blast its foes with pressurized carbon dioxide!
Nemesis Slag (ネメシススラッグ Nemeshisu Suraggu) is a reformatted, unstoppable engine of destruction. If its masters want something cleared away, Nemesis Slag is all they need. Its sinoceratops mode can also fire corrosive pellets from its mouth.
Nemesis Snarl's (ネメシス・スナル Nemeshisu Sunaru) fear and loathing for all life has resulted in it permanenty adopting a defensive position in huayangosaurus mode. Its large armour plating can withstand most artillery, making it a living shield for its teammates to hide behind before charging the enemy. In bot mode, it wields a dark energon Thagomizer Blade (that's if it can be coaxed into transforming).
Nemesis Strafe (ネメシス・ストラフ Nemeshisu Sutorafu) is a deadly, hidden aerial assasin. In nemicolopterus crypticus mode, it can fly silently, undetected by most of its prey. Specialised claws allow it to cling and move suprisingly well amongst trees and other objects. Its dual beast-mode beaks can cut through most known metals.
Nemesis Scorn (ネメシス・スコーン Nemeshisu Sukōn) is an aquatic expert, favouring wet environments where its huge spinosaurus mode is not a hinderance. Dark Energon "sails" can be generated between it's dorsal spines in beast mode, which can be used for either greater manouverbility beneath the waters, or to absorb and deflect energy blasts from enemies.
Design Info
The new dinosaur names are taken from ones found in, or connected to China, to homage the "Age of Extinction" films (set in China) and in reference to the fact that these customs were partially/slightly repainted Wei Jiang KOs, which come from China. As "knockoffs are evil" and from China, this was my little homage to that (no offense meant!). My intent was for these figures to be twisted, evil G1 characters, spawned by Unicron (with the film aesthetic fitting this perfectly) that could be the adversaries to the actual G1 Dinobots. Instead of being evil clones of the actual G1 characters, I referenced an episode of the 80's cartoon "Centurions", where the evil cyborg Doc Terror "assimilates" dinosaurs into cyborg beasts! Basically, these Dinobots were made from living and/or long dead remains (a-la Beast Wars) and converted into what we can see today.
