Reaching the Omega Point is a multi-year, convention-exclusive Beast Wars storyline that was released at BotCon and other related venues from 1998 to 2000. Produced by 3H Enterprises, it is part of the 3H Beast Era continuity that serves an expanded universe of both the Beast Wars and Beast Machines cartoons.
Created as part of 1999's celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Transformers brand, Omega Point was notable for being the first really BIG Transformers event in several years to feature the return of the Dark God Unicron, who had been absent from Western Transformers fiction (barring a few cameos) since his last major appearance in 1990's "On the Edge of Extinction!" from Marvel Comics.
Omega Point also laid the groundwork for much more convention-based Transformers fiction that would see release in years to come, spreading its content across multiple form of media that would see further use at many future BotCons, including comic books, a live script reading, lengthy prose stories, and web-based content.
It is alternately known as simply The Omega Point.
