He was more than a leader.
He was a symbol.
But what happens when the symbol is stolen?
Across Transformers lore, evil versions of Optimus Prime have risen to twist his image into something darker. From Nemesis Prime to Shattered Glass, from corrupted clones to alternate realities, each one shows us what happens when the heart of a hero is removed—and only power remains.
In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we dissect the shadows of Optimus Prime:
– The tragic terror of Nemesis Prime
– The ruthless tyranny of Shattered Glass Optimus
– The uncanny unease of clones and copies
– And why evil versions of heroes prove that identity without conviction becomes corruption
Because these Primes may wear his face.
But none of them carry his heart.
