Millions of years ago, Omega Supreme was a member of the legendaryGuardian robots,and was charged with defendingCrystal City,the most spectacular city onCybertron.He befriended theConstructicons,the city's creators. However, as it would happen, the Constructicons were attacked byMegatron'sRobosmasherand converted intoDecepticons.The now-evil Constructicons convinced Omega to leave his post to help defend the capital city, and promised to look after the city in his stead. When he left, they demolished the Crystal City, to Omega Supreme's horror. He hunted them down, trapping them in a pit, and tried to reverse the reprogramming done by the Robo-Smasher. Though he appeared to be successful, the programming was irreversible, and Megatron had given the Constructicons a new combined form namedDevastator.The treacherous Constructicons lured Omega into an ambush and in their new form attempted to use the Smasher to convert him into a Decepticon, but he destroyed the machine and they fled before he recovered from the attack.
Some time after these events transpired—after the launch of theAutobotandDecepticon starships—the Constructicons left Cybertron in a starship and tried to locate the missing Megatron. Omega Supreme pursued them, "for millions of years, across the galaxies"; eventually, the Constructicons rejoined Megatron onEarth,and Omega Supreme followed them there, still seeking revenge.The Secret of Omega Supreme
For the most part, he acted as inter-planetary transport for the Autobots, as well as their last line of defense. While he was preparing for a round of target practice, Omega lost contact withOptimus PrimewhenBlasterbegan broadcasting the music from a concert over the Autobot communications frequencies. The interference resulted in Megatron getting away clean with theVoltronic Galaxer,which necessitated a trip to theMoonto retrieve it. Omega took Optimus,Powerglide,Spike WitwickyandCarly.There, he got to battleAstrotrain,who taunted him for being outdated technology, but changed his tune after Omega triumphed.Blaster BluesWhen the Decepticons found a pool ofelectrum,rendering them invulnerable, they attacked Omega Supreme. His weapons had no effect on them, and the titan fell. Later the Autobots got the opportunity for payback when they located the electrum pool and used it themselves, gaining the advantage as the Decepticons' electrum coating wore off.The Golden Lagoon
AfterCosmoscrashed onTitan,Omega carriedPerceptorandJazzthere on a rescue mission. Unfortunately he just barely had enough energy to land, and was left teetering on the edge of a cliff overhanging a lake of deadly liquid. The moon was fortunately rich inenergy crystals,and Perceptor was able to use them to repower Omega. The explosion of the crystal deposit caused the island they were on to begin to disintegrate, so Omega Supreme used his base mode to transport everyone across to safety.The God Gambit
Omega Surpreme finally got his chance at revenge when the Constructicons started mining an asteroid that turned out to be the egg of anstrange creature.Omega left the creature to its own devices, which would have resulted in it devouringSan Francisco.However, Optimus Prime convinced Omega to lead the creature back to its asteroid, which would sustain it. Omega lost his chance at revenge, but he did his duty.The Secret of Omega Supreme
After the energy pestKremzeektook out most of the Autobots, Omega Supreme transported the survivors of his attack toJapanin an attempt to track down the creature. When they arrived, they were immediately beset by Kremzeek, however the Autobots remembered that Omega had not been coated with the insulating compound that was protecting them. Omega took to the air, but Kremzeek managed to reach him anyway, and he quickly crashed onto the Japanese beach.Bumblebeepromised they'd fix him up as soon as possible.Kremzeek!
The Autobots used Omega Supreme to follow the Decepticons back to Cybertron when Megatron intended to useVector Sigmato create a new group of Decepticon warriors. After failing to stop the Decepticons from creating theStunticons,The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1the Autobots created a new team of their own to counter the new threat, theAerialbots.As Omega Supreme escaped Cybertron, he was hit by weapons fire from theCenturion droids,and once he safely disembarked his passengers on Earth, he catastrophically exploded.
Ratchet,WheeljackandSparkplug Witwickyconnected Omega Supreme's mind to theArk's life support unit while they set about putting the giant back together. The arrogant Aerialbots, unimpressed with both the Autobots and the humans they protected, refused to help their comrades in defeating the Decepticons until their group leaderSilverboltshowed them how Sparkplug was able to disregard his fatigue and continue repairing Omega Supreme simply because of his concern for a friend's well being. Soon afterwards, the Aerialbots were facing defeat asSuperionat the hands of the Stunticon combined form,Menasor,when the newly repaired Omega Supreme suddenly appeared and helped them defeat the combiner and send the Decepticons packing.The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2
He transported the Autobots and the Aerialbots back to Cybertron when they detected strange energy readings emanating from the planet. The trip expended his energy so he was forced to sit out the mission. While the Autobots dealt with atime machinesending the Aerialbots to the past, the Decepticons reactivated one of Omega's fellow Guardian Robots. After the Aerialbots returned from their trip through time, Silverbolt handed over some power packs they had taken from the Cybertron's Golden Age to refuel Omega.War Dawn
After the coming ofUnicron,his space transport role was fulfilled bySky Lynx,though he still carried out occasional missions. He transported several Autobots toJunkionto investigate the strange behaviour of theJunkions.He was shot down byCyclonus,Scourgeand theSweepscrashing the Autobots on an asteroid. After being repaired Omega quickly turned the tide of the battle. Upon arriving on Junkion, Omega again battled the Decepticons. He was knocked down by a blast fromGalvatron's cannon mode, but recovered and battled the Decepticons until Blaster asked him to bring him to altitude to counter the Quintesson signals.The Big Broadcast of 2006

Soon afterGrapplewas brought online on Earth,Optimus Primehad a secret project in mind for the architect:Rock and Roll-Out!the construction of Omega Supreme. Designed to be the Autobots' last line of defense and given life by Prime'sCreation Matrix,Omega Supreme was unveiled in front of the Autobot rank and file. With Omega completed, they were now free to leave the base en masse to attack the Decepticons, an advantage Optimus Prime utilized immediately. As the Autobots attacked theDecepticon headquarters,Megatron,unaware of Omega Supreme's birth, tookSkywarp,Starscream,Thundercracker,Frenzy,Rumble,Buzzsaw,andLaserbeakwith him to attack the Ark, which he believed to be unguarded. At first Megatron underestimated the tank and rocket ship sitting outside their target, even when the tank one-shotted Skywarp with itslaser cannon,but then Omega Supreme transformed to robot mode and within moments destroyed all of them one by one without pause. Only Laserbeak managed to escape with a wounded Megatron back to the Decepticons.Command Performances!

Though Omega Supreme continued to guard the Ark, he didn't seem to stayquite as hugeas he used to be. He could soon fit into the Ark, where watched with other Autobots asRatchettried to repair Optimus Prime, who had fallen in battle. Prime was declared irreparable, and Omega Supreme helped install a remote-control system for the Ark's defenses so all Autobots could attend their leader's funeral. During the ceremony, Omega placed Optimus's body in his final resting place, a spaceship casket which they shot into space. Upon the Autobots' return to the Ark, they found that its defenses would not shut down; in their absence, a villainoushumanhad infiltrated their base and disabled the newly installed remote-control system. Ratchet, who had stayed behind, managed to defeat the intruder, and promised to repair all damaged Autobots within the following couple of days.Funeral for a Friend!The funeral motivated Omega to work even harder so as to not let Optimus Prime down.

Omega entered the Ark again when he and other high-ranking Autobots assembled to nominate Prime's replacement, and he suggested courage as a valuable trait for their imaginary candidate. WhenTrypticonattacked, the Decepticon carpeted the entrance to the Ark with sonic scrambler mines, disabling Omega and the other Autobots within; Omega was thus unable to square off against the giant. Fortunately, they were rescued byGrimlockand the otherDinobots,a turn of events that persuaded him, along with the other Autobots, to support Grimlock as their new leader.King of the Hill!He later changed his mind and was amongst the Autobots that approached the deserter Blaster to take over the leadership.Spacehikers!To settle the issue, Omega Supreme acted as a sort of Master of Ceremonies when Blaster and Grimlock were due to fight it out for Autobot leadership on themoon.He had shrunk more by then, but onceRatbat's Decepticons surprise-attacked them, he seemed bigger again.

Leader of theOmega Sentinels,Omega Supreme was an extremely ancient Transformer, hailing from the time of theKnights of Cybertronin the planet's largely-forgotten past. Following the formation of theThirteen,the bestialOnyx Primemasterminded a Cybertronianexpansionacross the universe. Bound by honor to follow the will of thePrimes,Supreme led his Sentinels in making first contact with the planetAntilla,laying waste to the planet at Onyx's command and driving theAntillansto the brink of extinction. In retaliation, the Antillans constructeda machinethat eventually warped their lifeless world intoUnicron,much to Omega's regret and horror.The First Who Was NamedStranger EonsOur Finest
During theFirst Cybertronian Civil War,Omega served as the guardian of the subterraneanCrystal City,protecting a loneTitanthat lay slumbering beneath the city's foundations. When war erupted between the Cybertronians on the surface, Omega abstained from entering the conflict, holding true to his vigil. Eventually, a leader namedNova Primebrought the war to an end, and soon discovered Crystal City and Omega while searching for ways to bring peace and prosperity back to the planet. Approving of his goals, Omega allied with him and helped raise Crystal City back to the surface, but he did not entirely trust Nova and his plans to spread his influence to other worlds, and keptMetrotitan's existence a secret.All Good ThingsDuring this time, Omega was an expert on metaphysics who would teach his fellow Cybertronians on the subject:Tailgateclaimed to have studied under him,How Ratchet Got His Hands Backand he was likely the namesake of the thought experiment known as "Omega's Conundrum".Omega's ConundrumEventually, Omega's caution proved warranted whenDai Atlasalerted him to the fact that Nova Prime and his scientistJhiaxushad created the horrific combiner,Monstructor—the first step towards their goal of eliminating all free will. Omega attacked the beast and battled with it while Nova Prime and his followers departed on their mission of conquest aboard the firstArk,and eventually subdued it.All Good ThingsShockwaves
With Nova Prime's departure and the destruction of Crystal City, Omega Supreme handed the duty of guarding Metrotitan over to Dai Atlas,All Good Thingssealed Monstructor in a dimensionally-displaced prison,Spotlight: Optimus Primeand withdrew to the remoteGrav-Haraan glacierto stand watch for Nova, intending to destroy him on his return.Primacy #3Millions of years later he was discovered byOptimus Primewho, after proving to bePrimeby his possession of theMatrix,told him Nova had been lost in space long ago. Relieved of his duties, Omega agreed to follow the new Matrix-bearer back to civilization.Primacy #1He had trouble adapting to society after his years of solitary vigilance, however, and merely took on a similar role: silently guarding Optimus Prime's quarters.Primacy #2When the Decepticons attacked Iacon, Optimus Prime ordered Omega Supreme into battle, and although he was hesitant to go to war against fellow Cybertronians, he complied after recognizing Optimus's potential for greatness and the Decepticons' similarities to Nova Prime. The Decepticons tried keep him from joining the battle with a strategic bombardment,Primacy #3but he was saved byTrailbreaker's force field and went on to fight them. During the battle he took out theStunticons,preventing them from interfering with Optimus's battle withMegatron.Primacy #4
At some point in the war, Omega Supreme left Cybertron behind and entered seclusion in a specially-shielded artificial asteroid within theMuta-Gaath Nebula.His existence remained known to the Transformers on Cybertron and he was nominally aligned with the Autobots, though in an advisory capacity, not participating in the combat itself.Spotlight: Optimus PrimeWhenThunderwingthreatened to destroy the planet, however, Omega joined the allied forces of the Autobots and Decepticons to stop him, alongside Optimus Prime, Megatron, andTrypticon.Stormbringer #1
Centuries later, Optimus Prime came to Omega's asteroid to consult the ancient sentinel on Nova Prime. It was while Optimus was present that Monstructor attacked, having at last escaped his imprisonment and seeking revenge against Omega. Informing Optimus of his history with Nova and Monstructor, Omega provided the Autobot leader with information on Monstructor's weak spot, enabling him to defeat the gestalt, though Prime condemned him for attempting to play god by simply locking them away.Spotlight: Optimus PrimeSome time later, when theDead UniverseTransformers began attacking the Autobots, Omega confirmed the identities ofGalvatronandCyclonusforJetfire,informing him that they too were members of Nova Prime's Ark crew.Spotlight: Hardhead
When Decepticons initiated agalaxy-wide assaulton all Autobot outposts, pushing their enemies to the brink of extinction, Omega Supreme was also targeted, but his power proved too much for the Decepticons to handle. Around a year after this "Surge", Omega followed a distress call sent byHot Rodto Cybertron, arriving just in time to turn the tide of a battle between the Autobot survivors camped out on the planet and the feralInsecticon swarmstalking them. Apologizing for taking so long, Omega assumed his rocket mode at Optimus Prime's request, and ferried the Autobots to Earth for a confrontation with Megatron and the Decepticons.All Hail Megatron #10During the battle that followed in New York City, Omega engaged the new Decepticon combinerDevastator,All Hail Megatron #11moving their fight out to Liberty Island to minimize collateral damage. Notionally, that is—Omega won the bout when he pushed Devastator against theStatue of Libertyand took him out with a blast to the midsection, which also destroyed Lady Liberty. Whoops.All Hail Megatron #12
Omega remained on Earth with the other Autobots during the two years that followed the New York battle, hiding out in a remote canyon in base mode. When Optimus Prime surrendered to the forces ofSkywatchand Autobot leadership was divided between Hot Rod andBumblebee,the two new leaders had different plans for Omega. Hot Rod approached him with the proposal that they use his rocket mode to get off the planet, but Omega refused, both because he lacked the fuel, and because he was insistent upon staying on Earth as long as Optimus Prime remained there.New Arrivals, Old EncountersBumblebee then hid him from Skywatch by having him relocate to a cramped cave, which Omega—now too low on energon to even transform into base mode—found extremely uncomfortable.The Hanging SwordOmega was later present at the cave's opening whenGordon Horiuchimade a visit to repair Bumblebee's supposedly damaged killswitch board.The Gift HorseAfter Horiuchi's scheme to control the Autobots was thwarted with the help ofDaniel Klonowski,Omega Supreme was present when Bumblebee's new, more powerful body was unveiled.Wings of Wax

When the Autobots learned that Cybertron had become habitable once again only for Galvatron to occupy it, they elected to return to their home planet on Omega Supreme. Charged up with whatever energy Skywatch could offer and a fuel cell invented byAlpha Trion,Omega's rocket mode carried most of Optimus Prime's Autobots and the captive Megatron into space, while his base mode remained on Earth with Bumblebee.Orphans of the HelixPolice Action: PrologueWhen Optimus Prime wanted to have a private chat with Megatron, Omega shut off the viewscreens to the room to prevent the other Autobots from peeping, and he also cut the power to thevariable voltage harnesswhen Optimus lost patience and almost killed Megatron with it.Chaos Theory #1Chaos Theory #2

Omega's base and tank components continued to serve as the Earth-bound Autobots' headquarters. After Bumblebee managed to defeat all five Stunticons on his own, he had Ultra Magnus put his captives in one of Omega's prisoner holds.The Question
Once the Autobots had won the battle on Cybertron and abandoned Earth, Omega Supreme's rocket was repaired and the rest of him returned home as well. He was still recharging three weeks later and thus couldn't help put down aNAILriot, forcing the Autobots to get the Decepticons' help instead.

When word reached Omega thatMetrotitan—who had long since left Cybertron along with Dai Atlas–had returned and promptly died, he spoke toMetalhawkabout what the Titan had said before he perished. The titan had dubbedStarscreamthe Cybertronian who would unite their race, calling many of Metalhawk's beliefs into question, and Omega concluded that the Titan's purpose had been to foster that sense of uncertainty to open the way for change.All Good Things

Toys
The Transformers
- Omega Supreme(Motorized Defense Base, 1985)
- Accessories:2 small shields, 2 medium shields, 2 large shields, 4 armour halves (A, B, C, D), 4 ankle halves (E, F, G, H), 2 feet, backpack, 4 tracks (J, K, L, M)
- Released in the second year of the USThe Transformerstoyline,Omega Supreme transforms into three individual components simultaneously: a large rocket base, a rocket and a Cybertronian tank. Omega Supreme's "transformation" involves very little manipulation of his moving parts, in fact, the only part that transforms is his main body/tank. Instead, it is achieved by disassembling him into his component pieces, which are then put back together in a different configuration. The tank forms his main body, the rocket forms his forearms, the track makes up most of his legs, while the gantry forms his feet and backpack, with extra track parts forming wings. The torso features abattery-operated motorwhich propels the tank around the track as its turret spins and flashes with orange light, or allows Omega to walk (very slowly) forward in robot mode. This motor is extremely susceptible to failure.
- Normally it's not possible to have every part of the rails attached to him if one follows the instructions and animation model, but by arranging the "wings" into an "X" shape on his back, one can store all of his parts in robot mode.
- Omega Supreme was one of several toys licensed byHasbrofrom a company other thanTakara.In this case, Omega was licensed from a company calledToybox,who also would provideSky Lynxthe following year. As a consequence, Omega Supreme was never released in theEuropeanorJapanesetoylines... at least, during the original 1980s run.
- Omega Spreem[sic](Action Master Elite, 1991)
- Accessories:Gun/tread unit
- Known designers:Takio Ejima(TakaraTomy),Masakatsu Saito(concept artist)
- Released in the seventh year of theEuropean-marketTransformerstoyline(the first year following the end of the US line), "Omega Spreem" is anAction Master Elite,the only variety ofAction Mastersthat could actually transform into an (admittedly tenuous) alternate mode; Omega turns into a really awkward Cybertronian "laser tank". A push-button on Omega's butt spins his upper body around, which in tank mode means the upper "turret" spins like a drill. Despite having a gun on the back of his head, there is not enough clearance for his head to fold down far enough to make it point forward in vehicle mode. Due to his "transformation," he is one of the most articulated Action Masters, featuring universal shoulder joints, a wrist bend, an upwards neck joint (though at the price of a sideways neck joint), and even a waist swivel, though it's pretty loose. Like the other Action Master Elites, Spreem has universal joints rather than the standard Action Master rubber bands in his hips, making him significantly more durable in that department. Spreem is also the heftiest of the four Elites, who are already slightly larger in every direction than regular Action Masters, having a torso almost twice as thick as a regular Action Master.
- There is a minor variant to this toy, having either a thin gun barrel on the back of his head or a shortened, thicker barrel. Good luck.
- Like the other Action Master Elites, he was only released in Europe and Australasia. As such, he can command some pretty exorbitant prices for a complete, clean figure, even loose. Also like the other Elite figures, his gimmick can be prone to breakage, so be careful. He's gonna be a bear to replace.
- "Omega Spreem" is one possible transliteration of the Katakana (a Japanese syllabary used for foreign words and names) spelling of "Omega Supreme", suggesting that the error could have resulted from the namegoing from English to Japanese and then back to English again.Whyit would have gone through this rigmarole, however, is unknown. TheTransformers Vaultbook reveals more details for how this might have happened, without reallyexplainingit: the design artwork for an unreleased standard (notElite) Action Master Omega Supreme has his name written (correctly) on the top of the sheet in big black marker. However, there's also an illustrator's note written in very small pen/pencil next to the toy's design artwork, which misspells the character's name as "Omega Spreem", despite the correct spelling being in giant text directly above it (though to be fair, it's possible that the black marker text was added after the fact).

War for Cybertron: Siege
- Omega Supreme(Titan Class,2019)
- Hasbro ID number:WFC-S29
- TakaraTomy ID number:SG-39
- TakaraTomy release date:December 26,2019
- Hidden message code:CRYSTALCITY
- Accessories:MicromasterCountdown,7Fire Blast effects,2 track/wing pieces
- Known designers:John Warden(Hasbro),Takashi KunihiroandShogo Hasui(TakaraTomy)
- SiegeOmega Supreme is a huge Titan Class figure that transforms into a rocket base and comes withCountdown.His tank component can store a vehicle mode Micromaster in a front hatchway, with a track upscaled to the point that a deluxe class figure can roll on it. A robot mode Micromaster can fit in a space at the top of the rocket, with plenty of spaces in his general body for smaller figures. Like mostSiegefigures, Omega features extensive articulation and numerous5mm holesacross his body to accommodate theC.O.M.B.A.T. System,and his large size means you can overload his arsenal.
- The tank mode can elevate its central turret as well as two smaller side cannons - however, once clipped into place against the robot head the turret cannot spin. The robot head has a very small faux tank cannon attached to the back of it, which can be folded out of sight.
- Omega's track pieces useA.I.R. Lock Systemconnectors to attach to his main body. Additional A.I.R. Lock connectors can be found at the ends of the ramps on his thighs as well as on flip-out black pieces on his legs/gray track segments. He also featuresTitans Returncompatible connectors on the outer circumference of his tracks, though onlyFortress Maximus(orGrand Maximus) has ramps that can reach them at a flat level. Other figures have to be boosted or have their ramps bent.
- While Omega does sport 'battle damage' paint operations on his limbs like most other toys from his subline, on him the effect is much tamer than usual, being limited to faded 'burn' marks around six ports (two on each arm, one on each leg) that accommodate the 'Fire Blast' effects simulating blaster fire. Notably, Omega is also the first Titan Class toy to not feature anystickersof both the customer-applied and factory-applied variety.
- When transforming Omega Supreme's arms into rocket mode, the instructions say to collapse the forearms towards the shoulder section before closing the quarter-circular panels. However, the toy is designed to have the quarter-circular panels closed first. Then, line up the arrows on the forearms with the corresponding arrows on those panels, then collapse the forearms in towards the shoulders and rotate them in the indicated direction to lock them in place.
- This figure wasredecoedintoGuardian robot.
- Omega Supreme was reissued exclusively toBigBadToyStorein2024with preorders listed on October 21st of that year.

Notes
Toy origins
- Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds fromTakara'sDiacloneandMicro Changetoys, Omega Supreme's original form was "Super Change Robo Mechabot-1", produced by a company calledToybox.Toybox did not actually design Omega Supreme, instead commissioning his design, along withSky Lynx,from Takara's then-rival Tomy. As mentioned above, he was not released inJapanunder theTransformersbrand during the original 1980s run. As a result of the merger of Takara and Tomy in 2006, the merged company was able to release the figure under theTransformersbrand for the first time in Japan, as part of theEncoreline.
- Similar toShockwaveand hispre-Transformerpredecessor "Astro Magnum", Omega Supreme/Mechabot-1 also saw a plethora of licensed versions released in various international (in his case, all of them European) markets concurrently with Hasbro's Transformers version, during a weird transitional phase when different companies' versions were influencing each other. Overall, there are two main color variants: Toybox's Mechabot-1 colors and Hasbro's Omega Supreme colors.[1]Due to these licensed releases, Omega Supreme was not released as part of Hasbro'sTransformersline in these markets.
- In the United Kingdom, a company named Grandstand released the figure in its original "Mechabot-1" colors as part of itsConvertorsline, under the name "Omegatron".
- In Germany, a company named GAMA releasd the figure in its original "Mechabot-1" colors under the name "Trans Robot". The overall packaging design was the same one used for Toybox's original "Mechabot-1" version (down to the photos used), but the "Trans Robot" logo took some very obvious cues from Hasbro's "Transformers" logo. Additionally, the tank's long barrel was crudely cut off and replaced by a new radar dish accessory, presumably because German kids at the time weren't supposed to play with war toys.
- In Italy,GiGreleased the figure in its Hasbro colors as part of theirTrasformer[sic]line, under the name "Megarobot". The packaging design was directly based on Hasbro's packaging for Omega Supreme, the only GiGTrasformerrelease without the officialTransformersbranding to do so.
- Lastly, in France, a company namedOrli Jouetreleased the figure in its Hasbro colors as part of a line named "Robotrack", under the name "Mecabot". Like with GiG's "Megarobot", the packaging design was directly based on Hasbro's packaging for Omega Supreme; what's more, the toy was actually manufactured in Italy, possibly as part of a partnership with GiG, and on top of that, the official TV commercial for the figure actuallyused footage from Hasbro'sTransformerscommercial for Omega Supreme!
Other
- According toBob Budiansky's notes atBotCon 2010,Omega Supreme was originally going to be namedFortress Maximus.Why the name changed is uncertain, but since it was later applied toAutobot Cityin theMarvel adaptationof theTransformersmovie before being used on the Headmaster, it seems someonereallywanted to use it.
- Omega Supreme's name could be translated as "Last of the Best"; given his role as the "last line of defense", this is appropriate.
- Omega Supreme's voice in the cartoon is a combination of a downwards pitch shift and short delay, the echo effect in particular making his voice more "cavernous" sounding. Well, he is big.
- In the cartoon, Omega Supreme can launch his rocket into space, leaving the remaining parts behind at his launch base, and then transform fully back torobot modeeven though the majority of his body parts are separated from the rocket by a good planetary diameter or two (if not several light years). Indeed, sometimes his base mode is seen to be inexplicably awaiting his rocket mode at his destination, leading some to speculate that Omega (rather implausibly) has duplicate body parts on some other planets, "just in case". Somefanonalternatively holds that in cases such as these, Omega's non-rocket parts actually usesize-changing technologyto shrink down and travel as cargo inside his rocket mode, which are then disgorged and enlarged before landing. Another theory is that the base is transported tosubspace,as some believe happens with Optimus Prime's trailer. Whatever helps you sleep at night...
- Although over half of the episodes from the Generation 1 cartoon featuring Omega were written byDavid Wise(including his showcase episode, "The Secret of Omega Supreme" ), don't let that fool you into thinking Wise had a soft spot for Omega—he really didn't like him! In fact, the uncharacteristic eloquence displayed by Omega in "Secret" was actually a script error by Wise, who was unaware of Omega's trademark speech pattern and wrote the episode with normal dialogue. Script editors had to add in lines about Omega being able to talk normally when he wanted to make it work without a wholesale rewrite.[2]
- At JoeCon 2011, Hasbro'sRik Alvarezhosted a "Treasures from the Hasbro Archives" panel, where he revealed that he had then-recently found a box in the company archives containing an assortment of artwork, concept boards, and proposals for what "could have been" in a series of Transformers/G.I. Joecrossovers. Of these concepts, the only one shown at the panel were parts of an Omega Supreme that had been redecoed and intended for release in the G.I. Joe toyline (this was later shown again atBotCon 2011,though no photos were allowed then). Whether these redecoed parts were intended for use as a "crossover" G.I. Joe/Transformers character or as a non-living G.I. Joe vehicle was unsaid, as waswhenthis toy was proposed.
- According to theletters pageof Marvel UK issue #285, "External Forces!",Omega is tougher than a" block of triple-strengthdurabylliumsteel. "
- Like all non-toy robot Kreons in theseKre-Oonline manga (at least, ones that didn't existyet), Omega Supreme is made from existing Kre-O parts. His exact construction is mostly concealed, but the comic design uses the diver helmet fromKre-OBattleship... which the later actual Kreon Omega would do!
- In2015,Hasbro started apollon their Facebook page on which ofScorponok,Trypticon,and Omega Supreme fans would want as the next Titan Class figure in theGenerationstoyline afterThrilling 30Metroplex.Trypticonwon and got a toy inTitans Return,but Omega also eventually got a new toy as well inWar for Cybertron: Siege.
