Meldar Prime appears in the TV movie Win, Lose, and Kaboom! as the main antagonist.
Appearance[]
He looks like an alien with pointy ears and a big forehead, but he's actually a disembodied head in a robotic body resembling a yellow suit with a red bowtie and gem cufflinks, the last one being the source of his powers.
History[]
Meldar Prime was the host of the game show Intergalactic Showdown which abducts various alien races and forces them to compete in the various games and challenges the show presented - The winning team got a space car while the losing teams' home planets had blown up. April, a Gorlock, forms an alliance with Jimmy to take Meldar down to shut Intergalactic Showdown off for good. He uses matrix generators hidden in his cuff-links to manipulate time, space, and reality, which makes him very powerful. Jimmy realizes this during the final battle and has Carl swiped them from Meldar using his Florgus, Sugar Cube. He is defeated and demoted, leaving him to be tortured and painfully electrocuted forever.
Personality[]
Meldar Prime is initially presented as a typical hammy and over-the-top game show host. However, beneath his facade, he is a cruel, sadistic, corrupt, and arrogant businessman who only cares about the ratings of his show, rigs the games, and has no qualms with destroying entire planets if it means gaining more ratings and popularity to make his show successful, regardless of the consequences it has on the planet’s inhabitants. He is sadistic and mocking to the competitors (Jimmy and his friends especially), as the power afforded to him by his Matrix Generators went to his head. But when in danger he caves easily, as shown when Jimmy threaten to blow up him and his sector.
Trivia[]
- Meldar Prime is a parody of Jeff Probst from Survivor.
- It is unknown why he is not part of the League of Villains, though it could be due to him losing his powers at the end of the episode, or because he wanted to destroy Earth, something that flies directly in the face of their goals (such as taking over the world, brainwashing the world, or, in the case of King Goobot V, providing Poultra with sacrifices).
- He is voiced by Tim Allen; known for roles such as Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story, Tim Taylor in Home Improvement, and Mike Baxter in Last Man Standing.
- Meldar Prime has been ranked by the Youtube channel WickedBinge as the most Wicked character in the whole Jimmy Neutron franchise (Even beating out King Goobot V and Professor Calamitous).
