:''The Omnicons are an [[Autobot]] subgroup in the ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

The '''Omnicons''' are [[Transformer]]s, larger than [[Mini-Con]]s but still fairly small, that have the ability to handle and process raw [[energon]]. They can convert this substance into useful tools and weapons, or into [[Energon star]]s.  

The known Omnicons are

* [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]]
* [[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]]
* [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]]
* [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]]
* [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]]
* [[#Attacktix|Omnicon]]

==Fiction==
===''Energon'' cartoon===
There are hundreds of identical Omnicons, and large squads of them with identical body types are very common. However, they are not drones, but individuals with full capabilities for independent thought. They are led by Arcee, who has a unique bodyframe among the Omnicons.

===''Energon'' comic===
The Omnicons came about during " a time of expansion" on Cybertron, in the wake of Unicron and Megatron's defeat. They had "underdeveloped" social skills according to [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], along with a tendency to preface anything they said with "CRZ" or "ZRT" or something.

In [[Aurex 304.0 Epsilon]], the Omnicons were a faction led by [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]], opposing the Autobots and Decepticons alike in their quest to exploit the Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}

:The Omnicons, along with their counterparts the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]], were sold carded, and filled the $7 price point previously filled by the [[Mini-Con]]s in ''Armada''. They transform into futuristic/fanciful Earthly vehicles. Each comes with a translucent colored "Energon weapon", which can be combined and assembled in multiple configurations. The Omnicons and Terrorcons marked the return of the Basic [[size class]] in practice if not in name, which had not been part of the ''Armada'' toyline.

: Part of the first Transformers ''[[Attacktix]]'' assortment, Omnicon is a "generic" figure based on the [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]]/[[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]] body design, in mainly black and bronze. Omnicon has 4 points of articulation; waist, head and shoulders. While he is a small-based figure he is capable of creating an effective defensive tripod — that is, supporting himself with his missile-launching arm.

:Omnicon's special power allows you to make an extra attack on your next turn if you have an Autobot figure in play.

==Notes==
According to [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]], the original idea for the Omnicons and [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] by the design departments of both Hasbro and Takara was for them to be evolved [[Mini-Con]]s. This was completely ignored by Takara's marketing department, who were the only people from Takara ever directly talking to [[We've]], so this idea never made it into the [[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|''Superlink''/''Energon'' cartoon]], and when Ichikawa found out about that, he never bothered trying to link his [[Linkage (comic)|''Linkage'' comic]] and the ''Superlink'' cartoon.<ref name="ichikawa">[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/43847f79db724831 "Wing Saber vs. Mega-Dinobot: A Lesson"], Hirofumi Ichikawa at alt.toys.transformers</ref>
