Omniverse

The Omniverse lies beyond the farthest boundaries of the Transformers multiverse and its satellite Megaverse, a multiverse of multiverses that contains every possible world imaginable. While many dimensions within the omniverse are inimical to both human and Transformer life, the Omniverse also contains an infinite panoply of strange and wonderful universes: worlds of avenging heroes, galactic warriors, caped crusaders, time-travelling doctors, teenage heartthrobs, and many, many, more.

Travel between the Transformers multiverse and the wider omniverse is very rare, although not entirely unheard of. When these distant universes do align, beings, concepts, and objects from the wider Omniverse may overlap with some of the many universal clusters within the multiverse and propagate themselves across multiple universal streams, sometimes creating entirely new realities.

“	Imagine the strangest inhabited universe you can conceive of, places where gravity operates linearly and electromagnetism by the inverse cubed rule and topology has 13 basic dimensions instead of 17. How alien it must be. Then ponder the wildest universes those beings could articulate. Then realize that even these musings fail to capture the uncountable infinities that exist in the Omniverse.	”
—Vector Prime, Ask Vector Prime

Ask Vector Prime

The Omniverse encompasses an uncountable number of possible realities, somewhere in the tens of quadrillions. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/21/05 Although Vector Prime could not directly travel to these distant realms, he possessed a limited ability to perceive notable beings from elsewhere in the Omniverse; from these occasional glimpses into infinity, he grew familiar with the exploits of Benjamin Tennyson, Ask Vector Prime, 2015/10/06 and speculated that beings like the Doctor Ask Vector Prime, 2015/28/05 and Xal hailed from beyond the multiverse. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/12/05

Vector Prime noted that, while the Cybertronian race was confined to a relatively small subset of "Cybertronian-compatible" dimensions within the greater Omniverse, humans possessed a much greater reach and existed across the Omniverse in many different forms, a fact that led Vector Prime to speculate that his race was tied to humanity in some way that he could not fathom. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/21/05

Occasionally, quantum-string vibrations can cause other realities in the Omniverse to temporarily merge with the universal streams within the Transformers multiverse. Some universes are particularly susceptible to this "quantum alignment" phenomenon; Lambda-class universes are particularly notable for this dimensional bleed. Likewise, universes in the Lukas Cluster have particularly thin dimensional barriers, and overlap with other realities in the Omniverse. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/21/05 In rare cases, a dramatic multiversal catastrophe can forcibly pull distant realities into the Transformers multiverse; in universe Primax 787.3 Alpha, the destruction of Cybertron caused shockwaves in the quantum foam of the multiverse, which allowed the inhabitants of an alternate-universe version of Earth to open cross-dimensional contact with the Transformers of that reality. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/19 Another quantum alignment event, this time between Ben Tennyson's home reality and the Malgus cluster, allowed the alien bounty hunter Khyber to collect certain Cybertronian artifacts.

When an Offworlder Zone Security Administration team led by Cheetor arrived at Sideways's hideout in the Heap, they found their way into the building blocked by an Absolute Terror Field, which had somehow been back-doored into Axiom Nexus by an extra-multiversal source by a recent quantum alignment event.

Fortnite

A mysterious group of individuals known as the "Imagined Order" abducted many heroes and villains from across the omniverse—including Optimus Prime, Batman, Thor, and Snake-Eyes—and brought them to a dimension known as "Reality Zero". Fortnite

As guardian of time and space, very little in the Omniverse escaped Vector Prime's notice. Vector Prime arrival

Notes

• In the real world, the concept of "the Omniverse" originated from analysis of comic-book continuities. As coined by Mark Gruenwald, it meant the collection of all multiverses; for example, Marvel Comics had one multiverse, DC Comics had another, and the Omniverse encompassed both. While there have been crossovers between Transformers and non-Hasbro properties, such as Star Wars and some Marvel superheroes, the term "Omniverse" had never been specifically used around or within them. "Ask Vector Prime" would embrace this interpretation of the Omniverse in a series of 2015 answers and establish that the Omniverse contained every non-Transformers story ever created. However, the Transformers franchise has generally played fast and loose with trying to establish any kind of definitive multiversal cosmology, particularly when it comes to in-fiction crossovers. Using this framework, one could interpret various crossover stories involving dimensional travel—Infestation, Mazinger Z versus Transformers, or My Little Pony/Transformers—as the characters travelling to and from other realities within the Omniverse, but with the end of "Ask Vector Prime" and the subsequent dissolution of Fun Publications, it's unlikely these stories will ever be classified as such.
• Author Simon Furman has used the term interchangeably with the more common "multiverse". His original pitch to IDW Publishing used the term to describe a crossover between the "Generation 1 " and "Unicron Trilogy" universes; , and a Revenge of the Fallen guidebook classifies The Fallen as an "Omniversal Tyrant".
