Omega Supreme (Energon)
From Transformers Wiki
| The name or term "Omega Supreme" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Omega Supreme (disambiguation). |
- Omega Supreme is an Autobot from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Omega Supreme is one of the mighty Guardians of Cybertron serving under the command of Omega 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 a dark god doesn’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 like Optimus Prime.
He is composed of the Omega Train, Omega Battleship, and a small robot named Omega that transforms into a larger head for their combined robot mode (known as Omega Grand sans Omega). His two vehicular components also have the ability to transform into the mighty Omega Crusher and Omega Force Gun weapon platforms respectively. He can also merge with Optimus Prime to give the latter more power to 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 of energon, and spent millions of years in stasis below the surface of Cybertron. Omega Supreme As the threat of Unicron began to surface once again, Dr. Brian Jones located Omega Supreme's resting place deep within Cybertron thanks to the guidance of Primus. Crash Course
Reawakened, Omega Supreme traveled to the other side of the spatial rift to join forces with Optimus Prime and his Autobots as they battled Megatron. Omega made short work of several Decepticons as the Autobots fought to prevent Unicron from being reactivated. Omega Supreme The Autobots attempted to gain entry to Unicron's interior, but were forced to retreat when the Planet-Eater crashed into the energon grid around Alpha 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 the Spark of Combination carried 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
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 by Shockblast. 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 to Blizzard Planet below. 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 of Primus, 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 Supreme Constructing 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 the energon towers aligned by Kicker and Misha, 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 on Ocean Planet. When Megatron resurfaced on Cybertron, however, Omega joined the Autobots on the Miranda II in returning to Cybertron. Ambition They 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. Wishes The Miranda II moved to the upper atmosphere, where the Autobots prepared to drop Kicker and the Omnicons (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 for Cliffjumper to get the Miranda II into 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 opposite Rodimus and Hot 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, and Arcee in 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 Team Six 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 Terror In 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
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
Energon comic
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
Omega Supreme's existence began as an "artificial construct" whose construction was jump-started in response to Optimus's disappearance. Doomsday Redux! Ironhide reported he was putting the finishing touches to the new super-weapon, though he still had trouble handling the artificial Matrix necessary to bring the 'bot online. Armageddon Part 1 By the time Omega Supreme was ready, the Autobots had been put in an impossible situation; the super-weapon was needed on their Mars base to repel an enemy attack, but by dropping the Earth's planetary shield to allow Omega passage, they risked letting Demolishor get away with a kidnapped Kicker. Armageddon Part 3 After Kicker was secured, Omega Supreme was finally activated and obliterated Unicron's Four Horsemen with its great firepower. Armageddon Part 4 Omega Supreme joined the battle against first the Quintesson war-fleet and then Unicron. Armageddon Part 5
Toy pack-in comic
When Eclipse-Team, composed of Slugslinger and Sharkticon, infiltrated an Autobot energon refinery 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 of Shockblast, 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-Line and the now active Omega Supreme. Though the Decepticons called in Mirage for 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
Later, Omega Supreme battled Constructicon Maximus. Energon Volume 4
Toys
Energon
- Omega Supreme (Supreme Class, 2004)
- Takara ID number: SC-22
- Takara release date: September 16, 2004
- Accessories: 2 missiles
- Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro), Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy), Hirofumi Ichikawa (detailing), Marcelo Matere (packaging artist)
- Released in the second wave of Hasbro's Energon Supereme-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.
- The "Omega Train" is 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.
- The "Omega Battleship" is, 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 a spark crystal to serve as an Energon Chip connector 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" with 5 mm wide barrels that serve as handles in emplacement mode. The train can also plug into the back of the battleship to form the "Cybertronian Armored Super Train" (referred to as "Omega Train" in the cartoon). Both vehicles also have a Mini-Con Powerlinx hardpoint 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 retains most of 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; this "Omega Grand" head is so the robot form will still have some form of head even if the Omega Mini-Con is lost.
- He can combine with Energon Optimus Prime to form "Powerlinx Omega Supreme" (called "Optimus Supreme" in 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's Prime Force drone limb team or the dis-articulated parts of Wing Saber as 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 of Super Link product (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 a promotional campaign: buying Super Link Omega at Toys"R"Us stores in Japan on the day of his release netted you the exclusive Micron Screw.
- This mold was redecoed into Omega Sentinel, and was retooled and redecoed to make the Platinum Edition "Year of the Snake" Omega Supreme.
- Omega Supreme Gold Version[citation needed] (Supreme Class, 2004)
- Accessories: 2 missiles
- A nearly-entirely-gold-chromed version of Omega Supreme was given away as a "Lucky Draw" prize through TV Magazine and multiple Japanese retail stores. This toy was limited to 50 pieces.
- This toy is meant to go along with the similarly-gold-chromed Grand Convoy contest prize. Good luck getting both of them!
- Unfortunately, the details of the contest are currently undocumented.

| ID number: | TF24 |
| Rarity: | |

| Special: | Recruit - 6/26 (23%) success ratio |
| Point Cost: | 80 |

- Omega Supreme comes in a pack with the first series Crumplezone figure. 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 all Attacktix. His Recruit Special 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 of Scorponok or Ransack. However a point-blank shot to his chest (putting the missile right against him) by even a Decepticlone should 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 of allegiance marker, 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.
- This mold was retooled into Attacktix Omega Sentinel.
Notes
- According to Aaron Archer at the BotCon 2005 Hasbro panel, Energon Omega 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's stock Powerlinx 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 the Headmaster figure for the old Generation 1 toys, then your robot had no head at all. At least this way, the big robot has something.
- Omega's Headmaster partner has detailing in his robot mode based on Omega Spreem, the European and Australasian exclusive Action Master Elite figure of the original Omega Supreme.
- Omega Supreme's toy scale is 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 the finale.
