The Omniverse is.... something that has to do with the Transformers, but we'll be darned if we know what! It sure sounds cool, though. Primus wishes to join the Omniversal Matrix when he has completed his cosmic mission,[1] and The Fallen has been classified as an "Omniversal Tyrant".[2]
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.[3] This extended to all fiction, and in today's usage it is sometimes meant to include the real world as well.[4]
- Obviously the Transformers multiverse would fall under the above umbrella, but it's unclear if the usage of "Omniverse" within Transformers fiction actually corresponds to that definition. While there have been crossovers between Transformers and non-Hasbro properties, such as Star Wars and some Marvel superheroes, the term "Omniverse" has never been specifically used around or within them.
- In the story treatment that Simon Furman originally presented to IDW Publishing for their comic series, he described a Unicron-driven, simultaneous threat to Generation 1 and Cybertron universes, as well as others unnamed. He called this "an omniverse in chaos".[5]
