'''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 the defense for the Autobots, a titanic guardian robot capable of instilling fear and panic into the [[sparks]] of [[Decepticons]] that dare face him in the field of battle.

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

Omega was one of the many Autobots who just showed up during the second season. Unlike most, however, he was actually given an origin.

Omega Supreme is the last surviving member of the legendary [[Guardian Robots]], the massive neutral defenders of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. While he was defending the [[Crystal City]], he befriended the [[Constructicon]]s, the city's creators. However, as it would happen, the Constructicons were attacked by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[Robo-Smasher]] and converted into 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 captured them 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. Omega later recounts, "I lived, but, changed. Since then, I feel only hate for the Constructicons." It is thus possible that Omega's cold, emotionless demeanor -- quite different than he behaved before the destruction of the Crystal City -- is a direct result of the Robo-Smasher's work. However, it may also be that he has merely retreated into himself and become withdrawn because of the pain of betrayal and guilt.

Some time after these events transpired, the Constructicons left Cybertron in a starship for unknown reasons. Omega Supreme pursued them, "for millions of years, across the galaxies", until they finally arrived on Earth and were reunited with Megatron. {{Storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

In 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 create the [[Stunticon]]s, the Autobots created a new team of their own to counter the new threat, the [[Aerialbot]]s. 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]]'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 combiner and send the Decepticons packing. {{Storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Omega rarely spoke, and then it was usually just two or three words. This is by choice, however, as he can speak normally if prompted.

===Marvel Comics continuity===

Omega Supreme was built by the Autobots on [[Earth]] in order to guard the [[Ark]] while they were away. As luck would have it, the Autobots soon found a reason to leave their base en masse to chase the Decepticons, an act which [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] took advantage of by ordering [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble]], [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] to attack the Ark. Unfortunately, they didn't get the memo about the Autobots' new defense system, and Omega Supreme easily destroyed all of them except Laserbeak, who managed to escape with a wounded Megatron back to the Decepticons.

Starscream's death ultimately proved to be only temporary, and after he gained the power of the [[Underbase]], Omega Supreme was amongst the casualties.

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

Some time after the departure of the Ark, Omega Supreme and [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] were sent out to go find them. They ultimately ended up burried under Antarctica on Earth. Millions of years later, Jetfire remotely reactivated Omega Supreme in an attempt to defeat [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. Though Omega Supreme was initially successful, Sunstorm managed to obscure his vison. When Omega Supreme retracted his visor in order to see, Sunstorm blasted him right in the face with a burst of solar radiation, instantly knocking him offline. He soon recovered, but Sunstorm had escaped.

Omega Supreme is largely a non-participant in the galactic cold-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, alongside [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and [[Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer, Part 1}}

Omega Supreme is one of the few living Transformers to remember the first [[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's departure and Nova Prime's disappearance, Omega Supreme discovered a horrific creation of theirs: [[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}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Omega Supreme''' (1985)

[[Image:G1OmegaSupreme_toy.jpg|left|thumb|Fragility: unappreciated.]]

:Omega Supreme is composed of a large rocket base with a motorised tank patrolling the perimeter along some tracks. The tank forms his torso, the rocket forms his arms, and the tracks and base forming his legs and wings. He can walk slowly in robot mode. This motor is highly susceptible to failure.

:Omega Supreme was one of several toys licensed from manufacturers other than [[Takara]]. As a consequence, Omega Supreme was never released in Japan under the Transformers brand.

*'''Omega Spreem''' (Action Master Elite, 1991)

:As an Action Master Elite, Omega Spreem is one of the few figures in the line that can actually transform to some extent.

==Trivia==
*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.
