[[Image:SkyLynxSG.jpg|right|thumb|300px|He probably sounds just like Droopy.]]
Humble and self-deprecating, '''Sky Lynx''' feels eternal shame. He was once Lieutenant Commander of [[Optimus Prime (Shattered Glass)|Optimus Prime]]'s grand and sinister Autobot army, but after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of [[Wheelie (Shattered Glass)|Wheelie]], he tendered his resignation. After a bitter exile which he himself enforced, he was courted by [[Alpha Trion (Shattered Glass)|Alpha Trion]]'s cult. In the service of the Old One's agents, he dares to hope of finding redemption.

Sky Lynx's space shuttle form is able to split into two bestial components: the shuttle portion transforms into a winged cat mode, and the shuttle's cargo underbelly transforms into a reptile form. Each half can be operated independently. Curiously, due to the [[subspace]] generators installed within, the interior of his combined shuttle mode is three times the volume of his exterior.

Sky Lynx was the Lieutenant Commander of the Cybertron Army's Ninth Omega Sentinel Brigade, but when the Great War began, he left to follow [[Optimus Prime (Shattered Glass)|Optimus Prime]]. Though Sky Lynx had limited success, when the barbarian-lord [[Wheelie (Shattered Glass)|Wheelie]] crushed his army in a humiliating defeat, he shamefully announced his retirement and retreated to the shadows. After a period of exile, the former Lieutenant Commander was recruited by the agents of [[Alpha Trion (Shattered Glass)|Alpha Trion]].

Alpha Trion returned to his dimension after an absence, and Sky Lynx was happy to once again humbly serve his master. Having found and subdued [[Breakdown (Shattered Glass)|Breakdown]] outside the Old One's lab, he laid the defeated Decepticon down at Alpha Trion's feet. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 1}}

'''As Alpha Trion returns to his home dimension, his betrayal of Landquake and company continues to unfold.'''

==Synopsis==
Alpha Trion and his companions materialize with a thud in a disused facility. As Alpha Trion orders his soldiers to prepare for the scouts that will inevitably come to investigate the energy surge, Landquake demands to know what happened to Skyfall; Alpha Trion brushes him off, saying he was shot from behind during their escape. [[Downshift (Shattered Glass)|Downshift]] arrives to investigate the energy surge, but is killed by Alpha Trion in the middle of a report to [[Hound (Shattered Glass)|Hound]] that "the old one is back".

Landquake, already displeased, is further incised by this seemingly unnecessary action, which contradicts the descriptions Alpha Trion had given them of a peaceful world. As Landquake demands answers, Breakaway discovers that Skyfall's wound is in fact from an energy blade. Alpha Trion's troops arrive and take the three dimensional travelers captive. Even the loyal Topspin is held, since as Trion explains, his usefulness as a soldier is ended. Soon Alpha Trion will locate [[Heatwave|the fifth]], their lives will all end, and his reign will begin!

[[Image:MTMTEOmegaSupreme.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Favorite punctuation mark: colon.]]

'''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|Decepticons]] that dare face him on the field of battle.

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

===Cartoon continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jack Angel]] (English), [[Tesshō Genda]] (Japanese)

[[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)|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)|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]]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 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 emenating 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 [[Sweeps]] 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}}

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

[[Image:Omega_comics.jpg|thumb|left|200px|I... AM DARKWING DUCK!]]
Almost immediately after [[Grapple]] was brought online on Earth, 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]]. 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 travelled 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, but he was never shown to be functional again. {{Storylink|Back from the Dead}}

===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 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}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:OmegaSupreme_SpotlightPrime.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Privacy: Requested. Discharge: Imminent.]]

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]]. 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, 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}}

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}} Which means you can throw [[Spotlight: Optimus Prime]] right out of the window.

==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 involves next to no actual manipulation of his parts, "transforming" instead by being disassembled 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 manufacturers other than [[TakaraTomy |Takara]]. 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.

: 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.

==Trivia==
[[Image:ToyboxMechabot-1.jpg|thumb|250px|]]
*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 a good number of his body parts are separated from the rocket by a good planetary diameter or two (if not several light years). Indeed, sometimes his rocket mode is seen to be inexplicably landing on his base mode which is already waiting 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...
*Omega rarely spoke in the animated series, and then it was usually just two or three words. This, however, was by choice, as he can speak normally if prompted.
*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". Thus it is probably a typo resulting from the name "Omega Supreme" going from English to Japanese, and then back to English again. ''[[Romanization|Well]]''.

These carriers of neuro-impulses are strangely physical. They resemble worms with a dragon's head. Though they purportedly travel through wires, they actually kind of just fly ''above'' the wire, and anybody who is small enough can just grab one and hitch a ride to wherever the evil brain impulses happen to be going.

They are evil.

===Generation 1 cartoon===
Using the [[trans-mat reductor beam]], [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] shrank down to microscopic size and infiltrated Megatron's body, in order to remove the energy maximizer known as the [[Heart of Cybertron]] before the Decepticon leader could use it against the Autobots.

After several hours of wandering through Megatron's torso and shoulder, the three Autobots arrived inside Megatron's brain chamber. Before Brawn could proceed to "bash brains", a series of electrical worm thingers came flying out of Megatron's brain. Perceptor identified them as brain impulses—''evil'' brain impulses—carrying orders to the Heart of Cybertron. The three Autobots grabbed onto one of the evil brain impulses, and it swiftly carried them to the Heart's location. They let go just before the impulse plunged into the Heart of Cybertron, seemingly vaporizing in the process.

By this point, Megatron was carrying out an assault against the Autobots. Because of this, the constant stream of impulses made it nearly impossible for Perceptor to reach and disconnect the wires feeding commands to the energy booster; Brawn had to save Perceptor from one of the oncoming evil brain impulses as he severed one of the wires. On the verge of triumph, Megatron ceased firing for a moment to gloat, stopping the flow of evil brain impulses; this allowed Perceptor to reach and disconnect the final wire. {{storylink|Microbots|Microbots}}
