- Omega Prime is an Autobot Combiner from the Robots in Disguise continuity family.
Due to the greed of Ultra Magnus, Optimus Prime was forced into a combination with his brother. Ultra Magnus merely wanted the power of the Matrix of Leadership for himself, thinking that a combination would let him access that power. The result of their combination is Omega Prime, a seemingly unique individual who not only combines the best of his component parts abilities but adds a considerable amount of power to the total. His importance in the fight against evil cannot be over-estimated, stretching beyond even his own universe.
- Japanese name: God Fire Convoy
Fiction
Robots in Disguise cartoon
- Voice actor: Daniel Riordan (English), Satoshi Hashimoto (Japanese), Mauro Ramos (Brazil)
Convalescing on an island after a brutal fight with Ultra Magnus, Optimus was attacked by Megatron and the Decepticons. Ultra Magnus showed after having followed Sky-Byte via a hidden tracking device. Feigning compassion and understanding his brother's heavy burden in carrying the Matrix, Ultra Magnus pretended to offer Prime his helping hand, only to seize it and force the two of them to combine. What he didn't expect, though, was that Optimus had as much control over their new body as Magnus did. His plan to steal the power of the Matrix backfired and he had to cooperate with Prime to defeat the Decepticons. Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!
Despite this setback from Magnus's point of view, the pair would regularly combine, issuing Megatron and his men with a string of defeats until Omega Prime was able to definitively defeat the Predacon leader in the Sahara Desert. Peril from the Past However Scourge was able to activate Fortress Maximus and Megatron returned in a new form as Galvatron. Even Omega Prime's great power was unable to overcome such odds. Luckily, the human boy Koji Onishi was able to stop Fortress Maximus's rampage. Maximus Emerges
A rematch saw Omega Prime pitting his arsenal against Maximus in a desert without leaving a scratch on the gigantic Transformer, The Human Element but he proved more than capable for seeing off Galvatron and Sky-Byte. Mistaken Identity When Galvatron brought the Megastar to a battle, Omega Prime attacked it and was promptly "blown away like a tumbleweed on the prarie", as X-Brawn put it. Surprise Attack!
After the defeat of the Megastar, Omega Prime attempted to confront Galvatron, but the evil Decepticon unleashed hordes of cyber-bats which took control of the world's children. Prime was forced to call a retreat. Galvatron's Revenge Optimus managed to persuade Magnus to combine with him one last time. Omega Prime challenged Galvatron to a duel at the Earth's core, and the power of Earth's children provided him with the Matrix Blade, with which he was able to defeat Galvatron for good.

"You suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-"
Once again, Optimus and Magnus would team up to become Omega Prime. When the twins were abducted by the Chaos Bringer and pitted against his minions, the two combined into Omega Prime in order to fight off the Planet Eater's forces. The fight ended early, as Unicron's physical form was destroyed in another universe, resulting in a gigantic black hole that threatened to unravel the very fabric of existence. He later used his boot of justice to stop Nemesis Prime from using the Dead Matrix to revive Unicron, having been re-directed to Primus's core by Over-Run.
He later joined Sentinel Maximus, Skyfall, and Downshift in fighting the Mini-Con Civil War, and against Unicron. Revelations
Toys
Car Robots
- Super Fire Convoy and God Magnus (2000)
- Simply a combination of Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, this toy was available in a two pack of the two smaller robots. However, the two-pack was short-lived and the easiest way to get it was to buy the two separate toys individually.
- God Fire Convoy (2000)
- Accessories: Matrix Blade
- Released on November 23, 2000 as a Toys'R'Us Japan exclusive, the God Fire Convoy set featured Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus cast in metallic speckled translucent plastics with colour changes. The main draw card of the set is the Matrix Blade, which was a redeco of the Master Sword from the Japanese version of Fortress Maximus with a new (floppy) long handle.
Universe
- Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus (Sam's Club exclusives, 2003)
- Redecos of the first toys, the red on Prime was replaced with yellow, and much of Magnus's lighter blue was replaced with a very dark blue, often confused as black.
Cybertron
- Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus (CostCo Exclusive, 2006)
- This set used Prime's RID deco and Magnus's Universe deco packaged in a single gigantic box. In the United States, it was only available in CostCo for slightly less than the two individual figures. In Australia, it was carried by Myer, costing less than two leader class Cybertron figures, but slightly more than the cost of RID Optimus Prime and RID Ultra Magnus at 2001 prices.
