Hey, um... hey you!

It's like Wheelie is in this show!
Only times three, that's got to blow...

The rhyming Omnicon fanboys are trio of red-yellow-blue-colored junior Omnicons obsessed with Ironhide—yes, Ironhide. They think he is heroic and brave and smells nice (but in a manly way), and throw themselves at his feet, begging to serve under him.

This baffles pretty much everyone around them.

The trio seems to have one personality between them, even finishing one other's sentences—in rhyme. On the rare occasions that they speak individually, the blue fanboy serves as spokesmech slightly more often, but this does not seem to reflect any actual internal ranking.

Ooh, Ironhide, you're so tough!
And buff!
And so rugged, he-he!Red, blue and yellow, "The Omega Train"

Fiction

Energon cartoon

Voice actors:

  • Red—? (English), ? (Japanese)
  • Yellow—? (English), ? (Japanese)

The three rhyming Omnicon fanboys were among Autobot holdouts working with Wing Saber below the surface of Cybertron to avoid the paralytic Energon gas. While the others were delighted with Optimus Prime's arrival, believing he was there to rescue them (he wasn't), these three were more interested their idol Ironhide! When Ironhide led a team of Omnicons to liberate the Medical Center they finagled their way onto the mission despite being, by human standards, quite underaged. They panicked when confronted by live fire, but Ironhide renewed their confidence by encouraging them to "Fake it!" The Omega Train

The trio crafted custom Team Ironhide faction symbols for everyone to wear, and were being taught the fine art of the g-rated marching song by the delighted Ironhide. They found the Medical Center under siege and liberated it by force, the trio wading in with guns blazing and a surprising degree of competence. Their confidence inspired Ironhide, who broke the Decepticon line with his burning, burning, burning heart of justice. Joining with the Medical Center's patients (Bulkhead, Downshift and Cliffjumper) Team Ironhide headed out to rescue the wounded Optimus Prime from Galvatron. Decepticon Army

Later Team Ironhide happened across Dr. Brian Jones, who had escaped his Decepticon captors, but also ran into Scorponok and a swarm of giant-sized Insecticons. Ignoring Ironhide's orders to stay back, the trio brazenly charged in to fight Scorponok themselves—and were instantly killed. Ironhide Team

Notes

  • Red-Yellow-Blue is the color combination associated with three-man Super Sentai/Power Ranger teams. This is not a coincidence.
  • The English dub of Energon certainly made some heavy changes to the trio. First of all, they don't rhyme in the Japanese version of the episodes. Second, they aren't Omnicons, they're simply normal Autobots. They are still raving fanboys, though.
  • Like so many generics, the fanboys are a "Frankensteining" of toy-character models. Their upper torsos appear to be largely those of Battle Ravage; their upper legs and helmets are modified from their idol Ironhide.
  • They get Kicker to stop kicking Ironhide, so they can’t be all bad, right?
