'''Omega Supreme''' is one of the [[Scale|largest Autobots there is]]. He isn't much for words, preferring his massive frame and equally massive weapons to do the talking for him. Omega is the last line of defense for the Autobots, a titanic guardian robot capable of instilling fear and panic into the [[spark]]s of [[Decepticon]]s that dare face him on the field of battle.

Except [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]. Kill that little guy, it just makes him angry.

[[Image:Robo-Smasher and Omega Supreme.jpg|thumb|left|Et tu, Robo-Smasher?]]

Millions of years ago, Omega Supreme was a member of the legendary [[Guardian robot]]s, and was charged with defending [[Crystal City]], the most spectacular city on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He befriended the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], the city's creators. However, as it would happen, the Constructicons were attacked by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron's]] [[Robo-Smasher]] and converted into [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. The now-evil Constructicons convinced Omega to leave his post to help defend another 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 tracked them down and tried to change the builders back into Autobots, but the process was irreversible, and the treacherous Constructicons lured Omega into an ambush by the Smasher. The Robo-Smasher attacked Omega, but it was destroyed before it could convert him.

{{Quote|I lived, but changed. Since then, I feel only hate for the Constructicons.}}

[[Image:Secretomegachatinwoods.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Storytime: informative.]]

Some time after these events transpired — after the launch of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' — 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 on [[Earth]], and Omega Supreme followed them there, still seeking revenge. {{Storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

{{charstubfiction}}

{{Storylink|Blaster Blues}} {{Storylink|The Golden Lagoon}} {{Storylink|The God Gambit}}

He got his chance at revenge when the Constructicons started mining an asteroid that turned out to be the egg of an [[Asteroid bird alien|strange creature]]. Omega left the creature to its own devices, which would have resulted in it devouring [[San Francisco]]. However, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|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. {{Storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

{{storylink|Kremzeek!}}

In late 1985, the Autobots used Omega Supreme to follow the Decepticons back to Cybertron when they intended to use [[Vector Sigma]] to create a new group of Decepticon warriors. After failing to stop the Decepticons from creating the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], the Autobots created a new team of their own to counter the new threat, the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]]. As Omega Supreme escaped Cybertron, he was hit by weapons fire from the [[Centurion droid]]s, and once he safely disembarked his passengers on Earth, he catastrophically exploded. {{Storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

[[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] connected Omega Supreme's mind to the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'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 leader [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] showed 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 as [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] at the hands of the Stunticon combined form, [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], when the newly-repaired Omega Supreme suddenly appeared and helped them defeat the combiner and send the Decepticons packing. {{Storylink|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 a [[Kronosphere|time machine]] sending the Aerialbots to the past, the Decepticons reacted 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. {{Storylink|War Dawn}}

After the coming of [[Unicron]], his space transport was fulfilled by [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], though he still carried out occasional missions. He transported several Autobots to Junkion to investigate the strange behaviour of the Junkions. He was shot down by [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and the [[Sweep]]s crashing the Autobots on an asteroid. After being repaired Omega quickly turned the tide of the battle. On arriving on Junkion Omega again battled the Decepticons. He was knocked down by a blast from Galvatron's cannon mode but recovered and battled the Decepticons until Blaster asked him to bring him to altitude to counter the Quintesson signals. {{Storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

He was off on an undescribed mission when [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] acquired super-intelligence. {{Storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

====''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms:The Transformers'' comic====

Omega Supreme was deployed alongside [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] to defend the [[Prime Energy Tower]] of planet [[Feminia]] from the Decepticons. Together, the three giant Autobots were a match for [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. Unfortunately, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had a trump card ready: [[Predaking]]. With a single blow from his fist, Predaking toppled Omega Supreme, Defensor and Superion. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Omega_comics.jpg|thumb|left|200px|I... AM DARKWING DUCK!]]
Almost immediately after [[Grapple]] was brought online on Earth, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] had a secret project in mind for the architect. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}} Constructed by Grapple and given life by Prime's [[Creation Matrix]], Omega Supreme was unveiled in front of the Autobots as the Ark's last line of defense. With Omega completed, the Autobots were now free to leave the base en masse to attack the Decepticons, an advantage Optimus Prime took advantage of immediately. As the Autobots attacked the Decepticon headquarters, Megatron, unaware of Omega Supreme's birth, took [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] with him to attack the Ark, which he believed to be unguarded. At first Megatron underestimated the tank and rocket ship sitting outside their target, but Omega Supreme transformed and within moments destroyed all of them one by one without pause. Laserbeak managed to escape with a wounded Megatron back to the Decepticons. {{Storylink|Command Performances!}}

''Early on in the first [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] encounter, the Autobots openly talked about siccing Omega Supreme on the Decepticons. And then '''never did so''', despite it being a smart idea and knowing it was an option.'' {{Storylink|Target: 2006}}

[[Image:Omegasupreme-blasterandgrimlock.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Size: indeterminate.]]

Though Omega Supreme continued to guard the Ark, he didn't seem to stay [[Scale|quite as huge]] as he used to be. He could soon fit into the Ark, where watched with other Autobots as Ratchet tried to repair Optimus Prime, who had fallen in battle. At Prime's funeral, Omega placed his body in his final resting place, a spaceship casket which they shot into space. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} 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. When [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] attacked, 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 by Grimlock and the other [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], a turn of events that persuaded him, along with the other Autobots, to support Grimlock as their new leader. {{Storylink|King of the Hill!}} Later, Omega Supreme acted as a sort of Master of Ceremonies when [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and Grimlock were due to fight it out for Autobot leadership on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. He had shrunk more by then, but once [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Decepticons surprise-attacked them, he seemed bigger again. Omega survived the battle seemingly uninjured. {{Storylink|Totaled!}}

[[Image:Buzzsawyikes4.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Match: Met.]]

Omega traveled with the rest of the Autobots to the [[Arctic]] to investigate a distress signal sent by [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]. Soon, they were ambushed by two Decepticon armies, and Buzzsaw cannon-blasted Omega Supreme—and [[:Image:Buzzsawyikes4.jpg|Omega actually seemed to be getting knocked over]]. This was all revealed as a plot by Starscream to divert both factions away from his attempts to absorb the powers of the [[Underbase]]. Omega traveled to [[Buenos Aires]] as part of a team led jointly by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. When Fortress Maximus was in danger, he jumped to his rescue—however, the Underbase-powered Starscream, recalling his earlier defeat at Omega's hands, gleefully killed him. {{Storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

Pieces of him were seen in Ratchet's repair bay. {{Storylink|Back from the Dead}}

In an alternate future of 2006, Omega Supreme flew a group of Autobots to [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] to investigate some strange goings-on there. He fought off alien spacecraft that were attacking the Autobots under hypnosis. He also battled with "[[Scourge (G1)|Sweeps]]" and helped disrupt a [[Quintesson]] hypnosis signal by flying [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] into the air to broadcast soothing music. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (US)}}

{{note|In the UK version of the story, the events of "The Big Broadcast of 2006" are a fabrication invented by [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]].}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Some time after the departure of the Ark, Omega Supreme and [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] were part of one of the last Autobot space programs, tasked with containing the expansion of the Decepticons to other worlds and, more importantly, to find [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the crew of the Ark. After falling out with the other members of the operation, Jetfire and Omega detected what they thought was the energy signature of the Ark, only to be attacked by [[Scourge (G1)|a mysterious, powerful assailant]]. They ultimately ended up buried under Antarctica on Earth. {{Storylink|Original Sin}} Millions of years later, Jetfire remotely reactivated Omega Supreme in an attempt to defeat the powerful and insane [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. Though Omega Supreme managed to capture the weakened Sunstorm thanks to Ratchet's energy siphon, Starscream destroyed the device to enable his own escape, reactivating Sunstorm and truly commencing the battle between the two powerhouses. Omega was ultimately successful in overpowering Sunstorm in a straight fight, but when he retracted his damaged visor in order to examine his quarry, Sunstorm blasted him right in the face with a burst of solar radiation, instantly knocking him off line. {{Storylink|The Omega Effect}} While he was recuperating from his damage, he shared [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]'s concerns over the danger their friends were in and how useless they felt. {{Storylink|Atonement}} Omega later recovered and helped the Autobots in building [[Autobot City]]. {{Storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs. The Transformers'' comics===
[[Image:ArtofWar3_OmegaSupreme_Sixshot_Astrotrain.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Characteristic speech pattern: averted.]]
Omega Supreme served as security during an Autobot peace ceremony on Cybertron. When [[Serpent O.R.]]'s forces attacked, he transformed and shot down [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], but soon found himself surrounded by [[Predaking]], [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} The combined might of the three giants was too much for Omega, who was defeated and almost crushed a [[Optimus Prime's rescuee|civilian]] as he fell to the ground. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}}

Following the defeat of Serpent O.R. and the Decepticon army, Omega Supreme helped repair damaged buildings in [[Capitol City]]. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

Omega Supreme is largely a non-participant in the war between the Autobots and Decepticons. Predating the notion of factions and having survived two [[Prime (rank)|Primes]], he remains in seclusion in a specially-shielded artificial asteroid within the [[Muta-Gaath Nebula]]. Though nominally allied with the Autobots, he remains outside of the conflict for fear of escalating it due to the firepower he commands. Instead, he exists as a resource to Primes in times of doubt. However, he did participate in the Autobot/Decepticon battle to stop [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], alongside [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1}}

Omega Supreme is one of the few living Transformers to remember the first ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. Believing that the Transformer race should exercise a slow inner growth through intellectual contemplation, he frequently clashed with the expansionist [[Nova Prime]], who felt Cybertron's destiny lay in the conquest of other worlds. After the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s departure and Nova Prime's disappearance, Omega Supreme discovered a horrific creation of theirs: [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]]. He sealed the gestalt in a dimensionally-displaced prison to prevent it from devastating Cybertron and escalating the burgeoning conflict. Centuries later, Optimus Prime came to him for advice. While the two were talking, Monstructor — somehow freed from captivity — attacked. Omega Supreme told Optimus Prime the truth about himself, Nova Prime, and Monstructor. Though Optimus Prime succeeded in defeating the gestalt, he condemned Omega Supreme for attempting to play god by simply locking them away. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}}

{{Note|As he was defeated very easily by a single gestalt, this version of Omega is either considerably weaker than others, or the gestalts are considerably ''stronger'' in this continuity. Omega seems to believe the latter.}}

When the [[Dead Universe]] Transformers began attacking the Autobots, Omega confirmed the identities of Galvatron and Cyclonus for Jetfire, informing him that they too had been aboard the first ''Ark'' millions of years ago. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}

[[Image:Omega Arrives in AHM.jpg|thumb|left|200px|RAAAAAIIIID?!]]

Omega Supreme would appear some time later, after the Decepticons had executed a galaxy-wide assault on Autobot outposts, whose security systems had all been shut down by Bombshell's use of the Headmaster technology present within Hunter O'Nion. Alerted by a presumed futile distress call sent by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], Omega arrived on Cybertron to assist the group of Autobot survivors, who were stranded there and about to be devoured by the Swarm. Omega's arrival on the battlefield almost instantly turned the tide, and he apologised for taking so long. When questioned about his survival (Prowl stated the Decepticons would've sent an entire ''army'' to take down Omega), Omega gave a simple explanation: "I am Omega Supreme." At Prime's request, he transformed to shuttle mode, allowing the weary Autobots to board and disembark for Earth. {{Storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10}}

[[Image:Ahm12 devastatorgettingtrashed.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Wish [[Devastator (G1)|you]] had that chestplate now, don't you?]]

Later, when he arrived on Earth, he engaged [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. We didn't see much of the fight, as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus]] ordered him to take it somewhere else to avoid damaging the city, but in the part that we did see, Omega was winning. {{Storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11}} At the [[Statue of Liberty]], Omega and Devastator duked it out, before Omega took the gestalt out with a blast to the midsection, which also destroyed Lady Liberty. Woops. {{Storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12}}

Two years after the New York battle, Omega Supreme was in hiding in a remote canyon when Hot Rod approached him, wanting to use his rocket mode to get off the planet. Omega refused, steadfast in staying on Earth as long as Optimus Prime remained there. Besides, even if he was willing to help help, he didn't have enough fuel to reach orbit anyway. The conversation was then interrupted when a squad of Decepticons attacked. {{storylink|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}} Soon afterwards, Omega Supreme found himself crammed into an entirely too small cave, as [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], the new Autobot leader, worried that [[Skywatch]] could easily find him out in the open. He found it extremely uncomfortable, and by this time he was too low on energon to even transform into base mode. {{storylink|The Hanging Sword}} Omega was later present at the cave's opening when [[Gordon Horiuchi]] made a visit. {{storylink|The Gift Horse}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1OmegaSupreme_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|Little yellow clips: misplaced.]]
*'''Omega Supreme''' (1985, 2008)
**''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)

:Omega Supreme transforms into three individual components simultaneously: a large rocket base, a rocket and a 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 a battery-operated motor which 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.

:Omega Supreme was one of several toys licensed by [[Hasbro]] from a company other than [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]. In this case, and in common with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], Omega Supreme was licensed by a company called Toybox. As a consequence, Omega Supreme was never released in [[Japan]] under the ''Transformers'' brand during the original 1980s run. In June 2008 TakaraTomy released the toy for the first time in Japan as part of their "[[Encore|Transformers Encore]]" ''Generation 1'' [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]]. The new release was slightly [[retool]]ed to have a face (well, the top half of one) in the tank turret which becomes his head, although this ends up looking odd in vehicle mode.

: 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.

: The retooled version was later [[redeco]]ed as a [[Guardian robot]], available through the online [[e-Hobby]] store.

**''Accessories:'' Gun/treads

:As an [[Action Master Elite]], Omega Spreem is one of the few figures in the [[Action Master]] line that can actually transform to some extent, in this case transforming into a Cybertronian tank, though the "transformation" itself merely consists of him bending over. A button on back of the tank turret, when pressed, spins the front half of the turret. In robot mode, he carries the front of his tank as a treaded gun.

:Omega Spreem, as with the other Action Master Elites, was only released in Europe and Australasia.

*'''Omega Supreme''' (2001)

:A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Omega Supreme was available in "Act 5" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Super Collection Figure]]'' line (which, oddly, centered around ''[[Super-God Masterforce]]'', a series which Omega Supreme was not part of). Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures. Additionally, in eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Omega Supreme came packaged with the left leg of the [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] collectable "build-a-figure".

===Heroes of Cybertron===
*'''Omega Supreme''' (2003)

:Omega Supreme's ''Super Collection Figure'' PVC was released two years later by [[Hasbro]] as part of their ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line. Like all the figures in the series, Omega was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere except on his eyes and the back of his head. Part of the fifth and final wave of ''Heroes of Cybertron'', Omega was, unlike the Japanese figure, sold on an individual blister card and came packaged with the torso of the [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure".

==Trivia==
[[Image:ToyboxMechabot-1.jpg|thumb|250px|Repaint: [[Black repaint|black]].]]
*Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds from [[Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' and ''[[Micro Change|Microchange]]'' toys, Omega Supreme's original form was "[http://1501bc.com/pretf/mechabot.html Super Change Robo Mechabot-1]", produced by a company called [[Toybox]] (an origin he shares with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]). As mentioned above, he was not released in [[Japan]] under the ''Transformers'' brand during the original 1980s run, and it seems that he was not released in the United Kingdom, either; part of the reason for the latter omission is presumably due to the fact that the Mechabot-1 mold was licensed to a UK company called Grandstand and sold as [http://megatronofcybertron2.homestead.com/omegatron.html Omegatron], part of Grandstand's ''Convertors'' toyline.

*Originally, Omega Supreme was going to be named [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], due to Hasbro wanting to use the name on something.

*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 can seemingly launch his rocket into space, leaving the remaining parts behind at his launch base, and then transform fully back to robot mode even 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". Some [[fanon]] alternatively holds that in cases such as these. Omega's non-rocket parts actually use [[Size changing|size-changing technology]] to 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 to [[subspace]], 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 by [[David 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 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.<ref>[http://moonbase2.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=553015 Moonbase 2 interview with David Wise]</ref>
*According to the [[Letters page (Marvel_UK)|letters page]] of Marvel UK issue #285, [[External Forces!]], Omega is tougher than a "block of triple-strength [[Durabylium]] Steel."
*Omega Spreem (the name of Omega Supreme's Action Master Elite form) is actually one possible transliteration of the Katakana (i.e. Japanese) version of "Omega Supreme", suggesting that the name could possibly have resulted from the name "Omega Supreme" going from English to Japanese, and then back to English again. ''Why'' it would have gone through this rigmarole, however, is unknown.

[[Image:Robo-Smasher and Omega Supreme.jpg|thumb|left|Et tu, Robo-Smasher?]]

Millions of years ago, Omega Supreme was a member of the legendary [[Guardian robot]]s, and was charged with defending [[Crystal City]], the most spectacular city on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He befriended the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], the city's creators. However, as it would happen, the Constructicons were attacked by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron's]] [[Robo-Smasher]] and converted into [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. The now-evil Constructicons convinced Omega to leave his post to help defend another 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 tracked them down and tried to change the builders back into Autobots, but the process was irreversible, and the treacherous Constructicons lured Omega into an ambush by the Smasher. The Robo-Smasher attacked Omega, but it was destroyed before it could convert him.

{{Quote|I lived, but changed. Since then, I feel only hate for the Constructicons.}}

[[Image:Secretomegachatinwoods.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Storytime: informative.]]

Some time after these events transpired — after the launch of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' — 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 on [[Earth]], and Omega Supreme followed them there, still seeking revenge. {{Storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

{{charstubfiction}}

{{Storylink|Blaster Blues}} {{Storylink|The Golden Lagoon}} {{Storylink|The God Gambit}}

He got his chance at revenge when the Constructicons started mining an asteroid that turned out to be the egg of an [[Asteroid bird alien|strange creature]]. Omega left the creature to its own devices, which would have resulted in it devouring [[San Francisco]]. However, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|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. {{Storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

{{storylink|Kremzeek!}}

In late 1985, the Autobots used Omega Supreme to follow the Decepticons back to Cybertron when they intended to use [[Vector Sigma]] to create a new group of Decepticon warriors. After failing to stop the Decepticons from creating the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], the Autobots created a new team of their own to counter the new threat, the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]]. As Omega Supreme escaped Cybertron, he was hit by weapons fire from the [[Centurion droid]]s, and once he safely disembarked his passengers on Earth, he catastrophically exploded. {{Storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

[[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] connected Omega Supreme's mind to the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'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 leader [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] showed 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 as [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] at the hands of the Stunticon combined form, [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], when the newly-repaired Omega Supreme suddenly appeared and helped them defeat the combiner and send the Decepticons packing. {{Storylink|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 a [[Kronosphere|time machine]] sending the Aerialbots to the past, the Decepticons reacted 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. {{Storylink|War Dawn}}

After the coming of [[Unicron]], his space transport was fulfilled by [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], though he still carried out occasional missions. He transported several Autobots to Junkion to investigate the strange behaviour of the Junkions. He was shot down by [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and the [[Sweep]]s crashing the Autobots on an asteroid. After being repaired Omega quickly turned the tide of the battle. On arriving on Junkion Omega again battled the Decepticons. He was knocked down by a blast from Galvatron's cannon mode but recovered and battled the Decepticons until Blaster asked him to bring him to altitude to counter the Quintesson signals. {{Storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

He was off on an undescribed mission when [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] acquired super-intelligence. {{Storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

====''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms:The Transformers'' comic====

Omega Supreme was deployed alongside [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] to defend the [[Prime Energy Tower]] of planet [[Feminia]] from the Decepticons. Together, the three giant Autobots were a match for [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. Unfortunately, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had a trump card ready: [[Predaking]]. With a single blow from his fist, Predaking toppled Omega Supreme, Defensor and Superion. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===

[[Image:Omega_comics.jpg|thumb|left|200px|I... AM DARKWING DUCK!]]
Almost immediately after [[Grapple]] was brought online on Earth, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] had a secret project in mind for the architect. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}} Constructed by Grapple and given life by Prime's [[Creation Matrix]], Omega Supreme was unveiled in front of the Autobots as the Ark's last line of defense. With Omega completed, the Autobots were now free to leave the base en masse to attack the Decepticons, an advantage Optimus Prime took advantage of immediately. As the Autobots attacked the Decepticon headquarters, Megatron, unaware of Omega Supreme's birth, took [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] with him to attack the Ark, which he believed to be unguarded. At first Megatron underestimated the tank and rocket ship sitting outside their target, but Omega Supreme transformed and within moments destroyed all of them one by one without pause. Laserbeak managed to escape with a wounded Megatron back to the Decepticons. {{Storylink|Command Performances!}}

''Early on in the first [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] encounter, the Autobots openly talked about siccing Omega Supreme on the Decepticons. And then '''never did so''', despite it being a smart idea and knowing it was an option.'' {{Storylink|Target: 2006}}

[[Image:Omegasupreme-blasterandgrimlock.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Size: indeterminate.]]

Though Omega Supreme continued to guard the Ark, he didn't seem to stay [[Scale|quite as huge]] as he used to be. He could soon fit into the Ark, where watched with other Autobots as Ratchet tried to repair Optimus Prime, who had fallen in battle. At Prime's funeral, Omega placed his body in his final resting place, a spaceship casket which they shot into space. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} 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. When [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] attacked, 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 by Grimlock and the other [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], a turn of events that persuaded him, along with the other Autobots, to support Grimlock as their new leader. {{Storylink|King of the Hill!}} Later, Omega Supreme acted as a sort of Master of Ceremonies when [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and Grimlock were due to fight it out for Autobot leadership on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. He had shrunk more by then, but once [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Decepticons surprise-attacked them, he seemed bigger again. Omega survived the battle seemingly uninjured. {{Storylink|Totaled!}}

[[Image:Buzzsawyikes4.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Match: Met.]]

Omega traveled with the rest of the Autobots to the [[Arctic]] to investigate a distress signal sent by [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]. Soon, they were ambushed by two Decepticon armies, and Buzzsaw cannon-blasted Omega Supreme—and [[:Image:Buzzsawyikes4.jpg|Omega actually seemed to be getting knocked over]]. This was all revealed as a plot by Starscream to divert both factions away from his attempts to absorb the powers of the [[Underbase]]. Omega traveled to [[Buenos Aires]] as part of a team led jointly by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. When Fortress Maximus was in danger, he jumped to his rescue—however, the Underbase-powered Starscream, recalling his earlier defeat at Omega's hands, gleefully killed him. {{Storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

Pieces of him were seen in Ratchet's repair bay. {{Storylink|Back from the Dead}}

In an alternate future of 2006, Omega Supreme flew a group of Autobots to [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] to investigate some strange goings-on there. He fought off alien spacecraft that were attacking the Autobots under hypnosis. He also battled with "[[Scourge (G1)|Sweeps]]" and helped disrupt a [[Quintesson]] hypnosis signal by flying [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] into the air to broadcast soothing music. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (US)}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Some time after the departure of the Ark, Omega Supreme and [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] were part of one of the last Autobot space programs, tasked with containing the expansion of the Decepticons to other worlds and, more importantly, to find [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the crew of the Ark. After falling out with the other members of the operation, Jetfire and Omega detected what they thought was the energy signature of the Ark, only to be attacked by [[Scourge (G1)|a mysterious, powerful assailant]]. They ultimately ended up buried under Antarctica on Earth. {{Storylink|Original Sin}} Millions of years later, Jetfire remotely reactivated Omega Supreme in an attempt to defeat the powerful and insane [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. Though Omega Supreme managed to capture the weakened Sunstorm thanks to Ratchet's energy siphon, Starscream destroyed the device to enable his own escape, reactivating Sunstorm and truly commencing the battle between the two powerhouses. Omega was ultimately successful in overpowering Sunstorm in a straight fight, but when he retracted his damaged visor in order to examine his quarry, Sunstorm blasted him right in the face with a burst of solar radiation, instantly knocking him off line. {{Storylink|The Omega Effect}} While he was recuperating from his damage, he shared [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]'s concerns over the danger their friends were in and how useless they felt. {{Storylink|Atonement}} Omega later recovered and helped the Autobots in building [[Autobot City]]. {{Storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

Omega Supreme served as security during an Autobot peace ceremony on Cybertron. When [[Serpent O.R.]]'s forces attacked, he transformed and shot down [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], but soon found himself surrounded by [[Predaking]], [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} The combined might of the three giants was too much for Omega, who was defeated and almost crushed a [[Optimus Prime's rescuee|civilian]] as he fell to the ground. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}}

Omega Supreme is largely a non-participant in the war between the Autobots and Decepticons. Predating the notion of factions and having survived two [[Prime (rank)|Primes]], he remains in seclusion in a specially-shielded artificial asteroid within the [[Muta-Gaath Nebula]]. Though nominally allied with the Autobots, he remains outside of the conflict for fear of escalating it due to the firepower he commands. Instead, he exists as a resource to Primes in times of doubt. However, he did participate in the Autobot/Decepticon battle to stop [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], alongside [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1}}

Omega Supreme is one of the few living Transformers to remember the first ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. Believing that the Transformer race should exercise a slow inner growth through intellectual contemplation, he frequently clashed with the expansionist [[Nova Prime]], who felt Cybertron's destiny lay in the conquest of other worlds. After the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s departure and Nova Prime's disappearance, Omega Supreme discovered a horrific creation of theirs: [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]]. He sealed the gestalt in a dimensionally-displaced prison to prevent it from devastating Cybertron and escalating the burgeoning conflict. Centuries later, Optimus Prime came to him for advice. While the two were talking, Monstructor — somehow freed from captivity — attacked. Omega Supreme told Optimus Prime the truth about himself, Nova Prime, and Monstructor. Though Optimus Prime succeeded in defeating the gestalt, he condemned Omega Supreme for attempting to play god by simply locking them away. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}}

{{Note|As he was defeated very easily by a single gestalt, this version of Omega is either considerably weaker than others, or the gestalts are considerably ''stronger'' in this continuity. Omega seems to believe the latter.}}

When the [[Dead Universe]] Transformers began attacking the Autobots, Omega confirmed the identities of Galvatron and Cyclonus for Jetfire, informing him that they too had been aboard the first ''Ark'' millions of years ago. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}

[[Image:Omega Arrives in AHM.jpg|thumb|left|200px|RAAAAAIIIID?!]]

Omega Supreme would appear some time later, after the Decepticons had executed a galaxy-wide assault on Autobot outposts, whose security systems had all been shut down by Bombshell's use of the Headmaster technology present within Hunter O'Nion. Alerted by a presumed futile distress call sent by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], Omega arrived on Cybertron to assist the group of Autobot survivors, who were stranded there and about to be devoured by the Swarm. Omega's arrival on the battlefield almost instantly turned the tide, and he apologised for taking so long. When questioned about his survival (Prowl stated the Decepticons would've sent an entire ''army'' to take down Omega), Omega gave a simple explanation: "I am Omega Supreme." At Prime's request, he transformed to shuttle mode, allowing the weary Autobots to board and disembark for Earth. {{Storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10}}

[[Image:Ahm12 devastatorgettingtrashed.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Wish [[Devastator (G1)|you]] had that chestplate now, don't you?]]

Later, when he arrived on Earth, he engaged [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. We didn't see much of the fight, as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus]] ordered him to take it somewhere else to avoid damaging the city, but in the part that we did see, Omega was winning. {{Storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11}} At the [[Statue of Liberty]], Omega and Devastator duked it out, before Omega took the gestalt out with a blast to the midsection, which also destroyed Lady Liberty. Woops. {{Storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12}}

Two years after the New York battle, Omega Supreme was in hiding in a remote canyon when Hot Rod approached him, wanting to use his rocket mode to get off the planet. Omega refused, steadfast in staying on Earth as long as Optimus Prime remained there. Besides, even if he was willing to help help, he didn't have enough fuel to reach orbit anyway. The conversation was then interrupted when a squad of Decepticons attacked. {{storylink|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}} Soon afterwards, Omega Supreme found himself crammed into an entirely too small cave, as [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], the new Autobot leader, worried that [[Skywatch]] could easily find him out in the open. He found it extremely uncomfortable, and by this time he was too low on energon to even transform into base mode. {{storylink|The Hanging Sword}} Omega was later present at the cave's opening when [[Gordon Horiuchi]] made a visit. {{storylink|The Gift Horse}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1OmegaSupreme_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|Little yellow clips: misplaced.]]
*'''Omega Supreme''' (1985, 2008)
**''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)

:Omega Supreme transforms into three individual components simultaneously: a large rocket base, a rocket and a 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 a battery-operated motor which 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.

:Omega Supreme was one of several toys licensed by [[Hasbro]] from a company other than [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]. In this case, and in common with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], Omega Supreme was licensed by a company called Toybox. As a consequence, Omega Supreme was never released in [[Japan]] under the ''Transformers'' brand during the original 1980s run. In June 2008 TakaraTomy released the toy for the first time in Japan as part of their "[[Encore|Transformers Encore]]" ''Generation 1'' [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]]. The new release was slightly [[retool]]ed to have a face (well, the top half of one) in the tank turret which becomes his head, although this ends up looking odd in vehicle mode.

: 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.

: The retooled version was later [[redeco]]ed as a [[Guardian robot]], available through the online [[e-Hobby]] store.

*'''Omega Spreem''' (Action Master Elite, 1991)
**''Accessories:'' Gun/treads

:As an [[Action Master Elite]], Omega Spreem is one of the few figures in the [[Action Master]] line that can actually transform to some extent, in this case transforming into a Cybertronian tank, though the "transformation" itself merely consists of him bending over. A button on back of the tank turret, when pressed, spins the front half of the turret. In robot mode, he carries the front of his tank as a treaded gun.

:Omega Spreem, as with the other Action Master Elites, was only released in Europe and Australasia.

===Super Collection Figures===
[[Image:HOC_OmegaSupreme.jpg|thumb|250px|Mask: Required wearing. Face: OH GOD NO]]
*'''Omega Supreme''' (2001)

:A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Omega Supreme was available in "Act 5" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Super Collection Figure]]'' line (which, oddly, centered around ''[[Super-God Masterforce]]'', a series which Omega Supreme was not part of). Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures. Additionally, in eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Omega Supreme came packaged with the left leg of the [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] collectable "build-a-figure".

===Heroes of Cybertron===
*'''Omega Supreme''' (2003)

:Omega Supreme's ''Super Collection Figure'' PVC was released two years later by [[Hasbro]] as part of their ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line. Like all the figures in the series, Omega was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere except on his eyes and the back of his head. Part of the fifth and final wave of ''Heroes of Cybertron'', Omega was, unlike the Japanese figure, sold on an individual blister card and came packaged with the torso of the [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure".

==Trivia==
[[Image:ToyboxMechabot-1.jpg|thumb|250px|Repaint: [[Black repaint|black]].]]
*Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds from [[Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' and ''[[Micro Change|Microchange]]'' toys, Omega Supreme's original form was "[http://1501bc.com/pretf/mechabot.html Super Change Robo Mechabot-1]", produced by a company called [[Toybox]] (an origin he shares with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]). As mentioned above, he was not released in [[Japan]] under the ''Transformers'' brand during the original 1980s run, and it seems that he was not released in the United Kingdom, either; part of the reason for the latter omission is presumably due to the fact that the Mechabot-1 mold was licensed to a UK company called Grandstand and sold as [http://megatronofcybertron2.homestead.com/omegatron.html Omegatron], part of Grandstand's ''Convertors'' toyline.

*Originally, Omega Supreme was going to be named [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], due to Hasbro wanting to use the name on something.

*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 can seemingly launch his rocket into space, leaving the remaining parts behind at his launch base, and then transform fully back to robot mode even 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". Some [[fanon]] alternatively holds that in cases such as these. Omega's non-rocket parts actually use [[Size changing|size-changing technology]] to 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 to [[subspace]], 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 by [[David 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 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.<ref>[http://moonbase2.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=553015 Moonbase 2 interview with David Wise]</ref>
*According to the [[Letters page (Marvel_UK)|letters page]] of Marvel UK issue #285, [[External Forces!]], Omega is tougher than a "block of triple-strength [[Durabylium]] Steel."
*Omega Spreem (the name of Omega Supreme's Action Master Elite form) is actually one possible transliteration of the Katakana (i.e. Japanese) version of "Omega Supreme", suggesting that the name could possibly have resulted from the name "Omega Supreme" going from English to Japanese, and then back to English again. ''Why'' it would have gone through this rigmarole, however, is unknown.

'''Optimus and Galvatron wage their final brutal battle, while the rest of the Transformers deal with Unicron.'''

==Summary==
Unicron is no longer functional, his body lying dormant in space. Hot Shot lets the assembled armies return to Cybertron to begin the rebuilding.

Inside of Unicron, Galvatron holds onto the idea that he can still become the sole ruler of the universe. Now that Unicron is gone, it's left to Optimus and Galvatron to finish the war. Optimus and the kids try to argue that now that the two militaries have been united, there's no need to continue the fight, but Galvatron reminds his foe that the hatred left over from an unfinished war would repower Unicron.

On Cybertron, Side Swipe alerts the other that Unicron is in motion again. Hot Shot decides to go to Unicron to retrieve Optimus, but Jetfire takes Hot Shot's place. Cyclonus follows Jetfire.

Optimus says goodbye to the children; the kids don't want to go, but he convinces them that the final battle must be fought. After throwing away the Matrix (so it isn't damaged in battle), Prime starts the fight with some gunfire and a knee to Galvatron's face. When Galvatron gets up, he and Prime blast their firepower at each other.

Outside of Unicron, Jetfire and Cyclonus pick up the kids and bring them back to Cybertron. The kids report on what the two leaders are doing, and it seems Unicron isn't quite dead either. Under heavy pressure, Hot Shot orders the attack against Unicron to be resumed, with special care taken not to harm the leaders.

Inside, Prime and Galvatron continue to rumble. Prime throws one of his wheels directly into Galvatron's primary cannon. The resulting explosion blasts Galvatron through a wall, but the Decepticon is only amused by the ferocity of the combat. Unicron's words echo in Prime's mind. Galvatron uses his extending antlers to toss Prime around. Prime breaks off the blades and uses them against his rival, but Galvatron scores a critical hit through Optimus with his hidden wrist blade.

The Transformers buzz around Unicron, blasting him through his own trenches. Alexis notices that during the combat, a large, growing black hole has appeared on Unicron's surface.

Prime stands up, refusing to give up the fight. Decompression sends the warriors outside of Unicron, onto his external surface. Galvatron acquires a nearby pipe to use as a battle staff, but Optimus displays amazing agility and stands on the staff, prancing along it to kick Galvatron in the face. While Galvatron is still stunned, Optimus hefts his foe and cramps Galvatron's midsection, but in the process, the metal pipe is shoved down Prime's back.

The two warriors break for a moment, and Galvatron admits that even though he lost the battle, he enjoyed the thrill of it. The moment of peace between the two is disturbed by Unicron transforming into his planet mode. Prime is stuck holding onto Galvatron as the two are sucked toward Unicron's maw. Galvatron, determined to see only one winner of the war (even if it isn't him) instructs Prime to let him fall. Prime refuses, so Galvatron cuts himself loose and free-falls into oblivion. As soon as Galvatron is absorbed, Unicron vanishes. Left floating in space, Optimus decides he's unworthy of the Matrix.

Sometime later, Hot Shot and Jetfire return the kids to Earth. They agree that they've all learned a lot from each other ever since their first encounter. Carlos, Fred, and Billy start to cry. Alexis gazes down at her pendant that contains the Mars stone that Starscream gave her, smiling sadly as if remembering him. With the war over, Prime narrates the closing moments. But hidden behind a distant, green planet, Unicron endures.

"Children, the future is yours!"<br>
"Good riddance, humans!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Galvatron''' bid farewell to the kids in their own unique ways.

"Don't be surprised, Galvatron. This is exactly what you wanted. And I fight you not as the leader of the Autobots, but as the leader of ''all'' Transformers!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' tosses aside his Matrix of Leadership before attacking Galvatron.

"Farewell, Optimus Prime. Victory is all yours. Now go look after your men, they need you!"
:—'''Galvatron's''' last words until [[Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]

==Notes==
===Differences with ''Micron Legend''===
* After tossing out the Matrix before his final battle against Super Megatron, Convoy says "I am not fighting you as a Commander but as a Transformer called Convoy!" In the American version, Optimus says that he was fighting Galvatron as the leader of ALL Transformers! Ego much?

* Near the end where Optimus is refusing to let go of Galvatron from being sucked into Unicron, there's a change of translation. Galvatron practically yells at Optimus to let go so that Unicron will die from the lack of evil and to watch over the Autobots after slicing his own tread in ''Armada''. In ''Micron Legend'', Galvatron observes that despite their differences in appearances, both might have been looking for the same thing, and that Optimus is the light while he's darkness. On slicing his own tread, he adds that even in the next generation (or world), Prime is destined to be his rival, plus that so long as there's light there will be darkness, and to not forget that evil is eternal. Where Optimus yells his rival's name after disappearing into Unicron in ''Armada'', he whispers "Megatron" in ''Micron Legend''.

===Animation and/or technical glitches===
*When Hot Shot yells "Attack!" as Unicron is transforming back into planet mode, the animation actually shows the Transformer fleet ''escaping'' (which would make sense), which suggests Hot Shot's line was a scripting error.

===Continuity errors===
