'''Omega Supreme''' is one of the [[Guardians of Cybertron]] who serves under the command of [[Omega Sentinel (Energon)|Omega Sentinel]] and is a powerful Autobot protector. He believes that unyielding resolve has no conqueror and will not hesitate to engage even the strongest foe. He is composed of '''Omega Train''', '''Omega Battleship''', and a [[#Related characters|small robot]] named '''Omega''' that transforms into a larger head for their combined robot mode. His two vehicular components also have the ability to transform into the mighty '''Omega Crusher''' and '''Omega Force Gun''' weapon platforms respectively.

Omega Supreme was an ancient Autobot warrior who single-handedly battled and defeated [[Unicron]] in times long ago. He then becomes guardian of a large supply of [[energon (Energon)|energon]], and spent millions of years in stasis below the surface of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} As the threat of Unicron began to surface once again, [[Brian Jones (Energon)|Dr. Brian Jones]] located Omega Supreme's resting place deep within Cybertron ''thanks to the guidance of [[Primus]]''. {{storylink|Crash Course}}

Reawakened, Omega Supreme traveled to the other side of the spatial rift to join forces with [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and his Autobots as they battled [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. Omega made short work of several Decepticons as the Autobots fought to prevent Unicron from being reactivated. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|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. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}}

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. {{storylink|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. {{storylink|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 tower]]s aligned by [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] and [[Misha Miramond|Misha]], Optimus Supreme destroyed Unicron in final combat. {{storylink|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. {{storylink|Ambition}}

===''Energon'' comic===
{{note|In late 2010, [[Simon Furman]] began to list synopses of the unpublished Energons. In "[[Armageddon Part 1]]", [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] reported he was putting the finishing touches to the new super-weapon Omega Supreme. It was finally activated in "[[Armageddon Part 4]]" and obliterated [[Unicron's Four Horsemen]] with its great firepower. In "[[Armageddon Part 5]]", he joined the battle against first the [[Quintesson]] war-fleet and then [[Unicron]].}}

===Toy pack-in comic===
When [[Eclipse-Team]], composed of [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]] and [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]], infiltrated an Autobot [[energon (fuel)|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 (Energon)|Bulkhead]], [[Tow-Line (Energon)|Tow-Line]] and the now active Omega Supreme. Though the Decepticons called in [[Mirage (Energon)|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 is safe from Decepticon hands... for now! {{storylink|Energon Volume 3}}

Later, Omega Supreme battled [[Constructicon Maximus]]. {{storylink|Energon Volume 4}}

Omega Supreme's larger head turns into a smaller robot. It is unknown if the smaller robot ''is'' Omega 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 robot '''Omega Grand''' without him. How many Omegas can be in one set?

Omega Grand is the robot mode of the Omega Train and Omega Battleship.

* '''Omega Supreme''' (Supreme, 2004)
** ''Japanese ID number'': '''SC-22'''
** ''Accessories'': 2 missiles

: ''Energon'' Omega Supreme is nominally composed of two major components, the '''Omega Train'''—a train engine with a large construction arm on its caboose—and the '''Omega Battleship'''—a multi-gunned space battleship. Both components can link together in vehicle mode to form the '''Cybertronian Armoured Super Train''', and can be reconfigured into ground based weapon emplacements. Additionally, the two parts Powerlinx combine together, along with the '''Omega''' Headmaster component to form the robot '''Omega Supreme''', or without the Headmaster to form '''Omega Grand'''.

: In this mode, Omega Supreme vaguely looks like his Generation 1 namesake. He features an extending claw gimmick on his right arm, along with electronic lights and sounds in his left arm, with both gimmicks accessible in all modes and combinations.

: 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. The Omega head component, capable of transforming into its own robot mode, can be stored in Omega Supreme's right shoulder while in the Optimus Supreme configuration. This configuration also allows the attachment of Optimus Prime's [[Prime Force]] drone limb team or the dis-articulated parts of [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] as auxiliary weapons.

: The main difference between the US and Japanese releases is the latter version used silver paint on his thighs and biceps, to give more uniformity to the colourscheme.

: This mold was redecoed into [[Omega Sentinel (Energon)|Omega Sentinel]].

:Omega Supreme comes in a pack with the first series [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|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 the likes of [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]], or [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]]. However a point-blank shot to his chest (putting the missile right against him) by even a [[Light Unit|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 [[retool]]ed into ''Attacktix'' [[Omega Sentinel (Energon)|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 footage|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 (technology)|Headmaster figure]] for the old [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1 toys]], then your robot had no head at all. At least this way, the big robot has ''something''.

* The Omega Battleship has a strong resemblance to the Magellan-class space battleships that appeared in the original ''Mobile Suit Gundam''. Thankfully, it's a lot sturdier than they were.
