Hah! Tag, you’re it!

Omega Supremeis one of the mightyGuardians of Cybertronserving under the command ofOmega Sentinel.His sheer power and impressive size are enough to earn the respect of anyone who knows him, and his stoicism makes apparent his seriousness. After all, temporarily sealing away adark goddoesn’t make you particularly laid-back. Even after millennia of continuous conflict, he still believes that unyielding resolve has no conqueror, and will not hesitate to engage with even the strongest foe in battle. Indeed, with this in mind, it is no surprise that he is given the utmost respect and reverence even by figures likeOptimus Prime.

He is composed of theOmega Train,Omega Battleship,and asmall robotnamedOmegathat transforms into a larger head for their combined robot mode. His two vehicular components also have the ability to transform into the mightyOmega CrusherandOmega Force Gunweapon platforms respectively. He can also merge with Optimus Prime to give the lattermore powerto deal with greater threats.

Omega Supreme was an ancient Autobot warrior who single-handedly battled and defeated Unicron in times long ago. He then became guardian of a large supply ofenergon,and spent millions of years in stasis below the surface ofCybertron.Omega SupremeAs the threat of Unicron began to surface once again, Dr.Brian Joneslocated Omega Supreme's resting place deep within Cybertronthanks to the guidance ofPrimus.Crash Course

You're the best ship we've ever seen... posing on the cover of a magazine....

Reawakened, Omega Supreme traveled to the other side of the spatial rift to join forces with Optimus Prime and his Autobots as they battledMegatron.Omega made short work of several Decepticons as the Autobots fought to prevent Unicron from being reactivated.Omega SupremeThe Autobots attempted to gain entry to Unicron's interior, but were forced to retreat when the Planet-Eater crashed into the energon grid aroundAlpha Q's worlds, super-heating his outer surface in the process. Optimus Prime nevertheless continued trying to reach the access shaft alone, before succumbing to his injuries. He was pulled to safety, but remained determined to stop Unicron, no matter the cost. His convictions reacted with theSpark of Combinationcarried by Omega Supreme. Omega told Optimus that he was now ready to face the trials that lay ahead, and the two of them used their Combination Sparks to achieve a new Powerlinxed form—Optimus Supreme.A Heroic Battle

You call that a streak-free shine?!
I don't want to see your face until I can... uh... nevermind.

Optimus Supreme faced his first test upon infiltrating Megatron's throne room and being confronted byShockblast.The ambitious Decepticon had attempted to absorb Unicron's power for himself, developing tremendous size and power, but also being driven hopelessly insane. Shockblast targeted Optimus Supreme in his berserker fury, and their battle fell toBlizzard Planetbelow. Omega Supreme and Optimus Prime briefly separated and re-integrated, trying several tactics to neutralize Shockblast, but it was eventually Shockblast himself who brought a halt to his attack. Regaining his sentience for a brief instant, Shockblast was struck down by Unicron himself, whose incalculably large fist struck down from space, killing the warrior.The Power of Unicron

Optimus Supreme and the Autobots continued to war against Unicron, but the struggle was markedly one-sided. After consuming Blizzard Planet, the backlash Unicron created disabled most of the Autobot forces. Optimus Prime and Omega Supreme combined once more to battle Unicron, and received the unexpected but welcome assistance ofPrimus,who transmitted all the energon from Cybertron's Core to them. The Optimus Supreme combination grew to enormous size, matching the Planet-Eater pound for pound.Optimus SupremeConstructing an arena out of energon upon which they could do battle, Optimus Supreme struck out at Unicron over and over again. With the help of his fellow Autobots, and theenergon towersaligned byKickerandMisha,Optimus Supreme destroyed Unicron in final combat.Unicron Perishes

Optimus suffered serious injuries after overtaxing his capabilities in battle, and so Omega Supreme and the others watched over him in stasis onOcean Planet.When Megatron resurfaced on Cybertron, however, Omega joined the Autobots on theMiranda IIin returning to Cybertron.AmbitionThey arrived on Cybertron and battled the newly-enhanced Galvatron until clouds of Autobot-killing energon gas were released into the atmosphere, driving Omega Supreme and his comrades to retreat.WishesTheMiranda IImoved to the upper atmosphere, where the Autobots prepared to drop Kicker and theOmnicons(who were immune to the energon gas flooding the planet) down to the world below. Galvatron and the Decepticons attacked, and Omega Supreme fought to delay them long enough forCliffjumperto get theMiranda IIinto position for the drop. Omega used his patented maneuver of grabbing two Decepticons in electrified force fields and slamming them together.Galvatron!

When Kicker and the Omnicons opened a gap in the energon gas, Omega Supreme descended to the planet below with Optimus Prime's team. They met up with a small band of Autobot soldiers and fled underground to avoid the full effects of the gas.Break Through

At some point, in an Autobot combat training simulation, Omega Supreme and Optimus Prime tag-teamed against a variety of opponents, making it to the final round oppositeRodimusandHot Shot.They got a little too caught up in their stock animation transformation sequences, though, and left the arena floor, thereby accidentally forfeiting the match. The tiny Omega consoled Optimus Prime after their loss.Distribution

After meeting up with some reinforcements, Optimus Prime assigned Omega Supreme to work with Kicker,Hot Shot,andArceein penetrating the Decepticon defenses around Central City. Their goal was to find Kicker's family and retake control of the command center and the energon towers. Omega located a transit station and decided to make good use of the rail tracks. By converting into his train mode, he provided his teammates with armored transport straight into the heart of the city.The Omega Train

Before they reached Central City, Kicker radioed Optimus Prime to see if he could rendez-vous with them. Prime declined and, reading between the lines of Prime's bravado, Kicker deduced that he was in trouble. At Kicker's suggestion, Omega Supreme retrieved Optimus's trailer and joined him on the field of battle, providing Optimus and Wing Saber with some much needed support. During the fight, Omega displayed his rarely used weapon platform modes. The Omega Force Gun provided Superion Maximus with some much needed firepower in combat, while Omega himself used the Omega Crusher to drive off Starscream.Decepticon Army

The Autobots continued to struggle with the Decepticons on the surface, until the efforts of Dr. Jones and the Omnicons recharged Primus at Cybertron's core. This remotely revitalized Optimus Prime's Combination Spark, and he took advantage of this to combine with Omega Supreme once more and deliver a stunning series of attacks against his foes.Ironhide TeamSix Shot dispatched the Autobots indirectly with a massive explosion, caused by a build up of energon gas in the pipline under their feet. Optimus Supreme was the only Autobot still functional enough to oppose Cybertron's accelerated journey towards Alpha Q's planets. Optimus called upon Primus for help, and the Core of Cybertron somehow manipulated the energon gas into power for the Autobot leader, transforming Optimus Supreme into a planet-sized warrior once more. Prime and Omega managed to arrest Cybertron's forward momentum, bringing its flight towards the other planets to a temporary halt.Formidable

Omega Supreme and Optimus spent a brief time recuperating on Ocean Planet once more before launching back into the struggle against Galvatron.Galvatron TerrorIn their absence, Galvatron had dunked himself in the Super Energon pool, and was growing to colossal proportions. As Optimus Supreme, they attempted in vain to contend with Galvatron's new power. Eventually, Optimus Supreme pulled back so that Galvatron could leave Cybertron as he intended, cutting down on the planetary devastation.Destructive Power

Omega Supreme and Prime continued to Powerlinx until Optimus chose to face Galvatron alone. He used the power of Unicron to match Galvatron's proportions, pulling him down to Jungle Planet where they continued to battle. Prime used Galvatron's hatred of him to overwhelm Unicron's influence on the Decepticon leader's mind, keeping Galvatron interested in the conflict. The two warriors engaged in an ever-escalating conflict, each one tapping the power of Unicron to grow larger and more powerful.

Eventually, Optimus Prime used his Combination Spark to absorb all the essence of Unicron they were channeling, forcibly reducing him and Galvatron back to their original size and power. As Galvatron took off into space to find Unicron and take revenge on the entity for manipulating him, Omega Supreme pursued the Decepticons.Spark

"Meteor Storm!"

Despite Omega and Kicker's efforts, Galvatron once again gained the power of Unicron by absorbing a small orb fragment of the Chaos-Bringer that had been left in space. Omega Supreme fulfilled the duty bestowed on him by Primus, delaying the once-again-gigantic Galvatron with his own impressive power. Once Optimus Prime arrived (having merged with the Combination Sparks of all his warriors), Omega joined him for the Ultimate combination as Optimus Supreme one last time. Optimus Supreme and the Unicron-possessed Galvatron grappled in the path of Primus's Super Energon sun, as Optimus prepared to sacrifice himself to hurtle Unicron into the star. Galvatron refused to allow the sacrifice, however. He regained control long enough to throw himself into the energon sun, and Unicron's last bit of influence was destroyed. Omega Supreme and the other Autobots were restored, and Alpha Q's planets received the light and energy they so desperately needed.The Sun

When word of a "Project Omega" made their way to Megatron, he sent out Slugslinger, Mirage, and Snow Cat to sabotage it. Due to their own incompetence, none of the three Decepticons managed to make it to their targets. At least, Snow Cat managed to get a brief glimpse of the project while it was still under construction before being expelled from the Autobot base.Perspective

WhenEclipse-Team,composed ofSlugslingerandSharkticon,infiltrated an Autobotenergonrefinery plant, they encountered Omega Supreme's inert body and assumed it was "some sort of Autobot sentry drone" that had been knocked offline by an e.m. pulse, courtesy ofShockblast,who was directing their mission from space. Moving along, they first encountered another drone who activated the base's "security mode," alerting the resident Autobots,Bulkhead,Tow-Lineand the now active Omega Supreme. Though the Decepticons called inMiragefor reinforcement, Omega Supreme first made short work of this newcomer, and then fired at Sharkticon while he fled, taking out both his target and the space-bound Shockblast with one shot! Thus the energon was saved from Decepticon hands... for now!Energon Volume 3

Head On!

Omega Supreme's larger head turns into a smaller robot. It is unknown if the smaller robotisOmega Supreme and the large form merely boosts his size and power, or if "Omega Supreme" specifically refers to the union of all three, though the combined Omega Train and Omega Battleship have the ability to form the robotOmega Grandwithout him. How many Omegas can be in one set?

Released in the second wave of Hasbro'sEnergonSupereme-class toys, Omega Supreme is nominally composed of two major vehicle components that combine into a singular robot. He comes with the "Omega" Mini-Con, that combines with each component/mode in a variety of ways.

TheOmega Trainis a Cybertronian construction-themed train engine. The front end has a small rotating turret with a trio of adjustable manipulator arms, though their limited reach gives them pretty limited functionality. The "caboose" features a large construction claw-arm which extends on a gear mechanism with the push of a slider, though the actual claw must be opened and closed manually. The cab portion of the arm also has an opening canopy to fit a Mini-Con (or any other small toy you can cram in there), though the extremely limited amount of legroom inside means few Mini-Cons outside of Omega's own Mini-Con component can securely fit inside.

TheOmega Battleshipis, well, a space battleship with multiple gun turrets. The front two (non-firing) artillery turrets and double spring-loaded missile launching turret are geared together to turn in tandem, which can also be done with a small spin-wheel on the side of the prow. The gun barrels on the smaller turrets also raise up automatically when turned to the sides, plus activate blaster sounds when they hit the end of their turning radius in either direction. The rear turret is not part of this mechanism and can be freely turned and elevated. A small button in front of the spin-wheel activates a light-and-sound gimmick for the clear-plastic blaster array on the ship's prow. The conning tower has an adjustable radar dish, plus opens up to allow the Omega Mini-Con to merge with it to form a somewhat different, more chunky conning tower. There's also anEnergon Chipconnector on the ship's deck in front of the first turret.

Each major component can also form a ground-based "battle platform" for other toys to man; both components feature small flip-out "guns" with5 mm widebarrels that serve as handles in emplacement mode. The train can also plug into the back of the battleship to form theCybertronian Armored Super Train.Both vehicles also have a Mini-ConPowerlinxhardpoint on each side: on the crane cab for the train, and on the front-sides of the battleship.

The two vehicles combine to form the Omega Supreme robot. In this mode he retainsmostof the gimmicks of his components, with the slight change that the gun turret and missile launcher on his left shoulder are now disconnected from the wheel-activated gear mechanism (though they are still geared together so they still turn in tandem with each other). The Mini-Con Omega forms the robot's head, the primary alt-mode for the little bot. The neck socket for Omega Supreme's robot mode extends slightly to reveal a very squished robot face; thisOmega Grandhead is so the robot form will still havesomeform of head even if the Omega Mini-Con is lost.

He can combine withEnergonOptimus Primeto formPowerlinx Omega Supreme(calledOptimus Supremein the cartoon, as noted above), with Optimus sitting inside Omega Supreme's chest cavity. As he replaces Omega as the head of the giant, the Mini-Con must be placed in the crane-cab or conning tower if you want him to stay connected. (Omega lacks a Powerlinx socket, and the hole for the screw holding him together sadly is too wide to fit on a 5 mm post, dangit.) This configuration also allows the attachment of Optimus Prime'sPrime Forcedrone limb team or the dis-articulated parts ofWing Saberas auxiliary weapons, thanks to flip-out connector panels on the right arm, right shoulder, and each leg.

Hasbro's stock photography (shown at top right) shows him with silver paint on the conning tower that is not there in the final product.

Takara's version of Omega Supreme, released in the fifteenth wave ofSuper Linkproduct (and the only item in said wave), adds silver paint to his thighs and biceps, and has orange paint on his face to make it stand out better underneath the head canopy. And, as per usual for this line, he loses the electronic light and sound gimmicks. He was also part of apromotional campaign:buyingSuper LinkOmega atToys "R" Usstores in Japan on the day of his release netted you theexclusiveMicronScrew.

"I am tired of these jokes about my giant hand. The first such incidence occurred in 1956 when..."

• Omega Supreme(Battle Masters multipack, 2006)

Omega Supreme comes in a pack with the first seriesCrumplezonefigure. His right arm features a powerful scooping melee attack based on his main toy's claw gimmick, which hurls pieces impressive distances (try flinging an opposing piece into a crowd of 'em).

At 80 points, Omega Supreme is one of the most expensive figures in allAttacktix.HisRecruitspecial power lets you put any Autobot piece into play from your back-ups. Like all Battle Masters figures, Omega Supreme is not tournament legal.

This piece is best taken out with a striker attack, particularly by the likes ofScorponokorRansack.However a point-blank shot to his chest (putting the missile right against him) by even aDecepticloneshould topple Omega Supreme every time. Yes, he can be defeated by the Crumplezone figure that's packed with him, though it's difficult to do (aim near the right knee).

At long range, Omega Supreme is meant to be knocked down by hitting both the targets on his knees, unlocking the joints so he falls over backwards thanks to the weight of his upper body. Unfortunately, he is so well balanced that he simply flops back into a prone position that is even more difficult to shoot down from a distance.

Omega lacks any kind ofallegiancemarker, preventing you from calling him into play from your graveyard or back-ups. The player has to start with this guy, and once he's down, he's down for the game.

Notes

• According toAaron Archerat theBotCon 2005Hasbropanel,EnergonOmega Supreme was originally going to be part rocket like the Generation 1 toy, but it was decided that a battleship was "cooler".
• In Omega Supreme'sstockPowerlinx sequence with Optimus Prime, the little robot, Omega, briefly transforms into robot mode before disappearing in a swirl of light. This reveals the head of Omega Grand momentarily. He then combines and Omega swoops in from off screen in the form of a ball of light and stores himself in Optimus Supreme's right shoulder.
• Also according to Archer, the main toy's body has that little pop-up head because he never liked how if you lost theHeadmaster figurefor the oldGeneration 1 toys,then your robot had no head at all. At least this way, the big robot hassomething.
• Omega's Headmaster partner has detailing in his robot mode based onOmega Spreem,the European and Australasian exclusiveAction Master Elitefigure of the originalOmega Supreme.
• Omega Supreme's toyscaleis pretty accurate to what is shown on-screen. Interestingly when combined with Optimus Prime, he again scales well with the other figures, but also scales rather well with fellow Supreme Class figure, Unicron, representing the size changing power up received in a couple of episodes, namely thefinale.
