The '''Omniverse''' is.... ''something'' that has to do with the [[Transformer]]s, but we'll be darned if we know what! It sure sounds cool, though. [[Primus]] wishes to join the [[Omniversal Matrix]] when he has completed his cosmic mission,<ref>[[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel ''Generation 1'' comic]] "[[Primal Scream (issue)|Primal Scream]]"</ref> and [[The Fallen]] has been classified as an "Omniversal Tyrant".<ref>''[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]''</ref>

==Notes==
* In the real world, the concept of "the [[Wikipedia:Omniverse|Omniverse]]" originated from analysis of comic-book continuities. As coined by [[Wikipedia:Mark Gruenwald|Mark Gruenwald]], it meant the collection of all [[Wikipedia:Multiverse#Other fictional uses|multiverse]]s; for example, [[Marvel Comics]] had one multiverse, [[Wikipedia:DC Comics|DC Comics]] had another, and the Omniverse encompassed both.<ref>[http://www.chrisroberson.net/2007/07/mark-gruenwald-father-of-modern.html Blog post detailing Gruenwald's Omniverse-related work]</ref> This extended to all fiction, and in today's usage it is sometimes meant to include the real world as well.<ref>[http://www.comicvine.com/forums/battles/7/multiverse-vs-omniverse/545023/ Comic Vine forum discussion about the meaning of "Omniverse"]</ref>
* Obviously the [[Multiverse|''Transformers'' multiverse]] would fall under the above umbrella, but it's unclear if the usage of "Omniverse" within ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' fiction actually corresponds to that definition. While there have been crossovers between ''Transformers'' and non-[[Hasbro]] properties, such as [[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] and some Marvel superheroes, the term "Omniverse" has never been specifically used around or within them.
* In the story-treatment that [[Simon Furman]] originally presented to [[IDW Publishing]] for their comic series, he described a [[Unicron]]-driven, simultaneous threat to ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' and ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' universes, as well as others unnamed. He called this "an omniverse in chaos".<ref> ''Transformers,a New Direction'', Simon Furman's Transformers proposal printed in [[The Best of Simon Furman]]</ref>
