No one's gonna lay a finger on my Butterfinger.

Eons ago, the lifeforce of Primus was divided into the four Cyber Planet Keys and scattered across the galaxy. The Omega Lock is the device that the Keys join with to reawaken Primus's power.

Fiction

Prime cartoon

The Omega Lock was located in the Rust Sea, disguised as a nondescript object in the barren wastes. When the four Omega Keys were brought to it, however, its true nature was revealed. The ground transformed and pillars rose from the ground, forming a portal. Optimus Prime described it as a link to the AllSpark. Regeneration

After a standoff, the Decepticons gained control of the Omega Keys and plugged them into the Lock, activating it. Megatron used it to restore a nearby building to pristine condition before sending its power through a space bridge to Earth, where it created a huge fortress. With the knowledge that Megatron intended to cyberform Earth, Optimus used the Star Saber to destroy the Omega Lock, causing a huge explosion. Darkest Hour

Despite or perhaps because of its semi-divine nature, Optimus Prime believed that the Lock could still be repaired using the Forge of Solus Prime. Despite being mortally wounded in the Decepticon's attack on the Autobot base, he commanded Smokescreen to use whatever power remained in the Forge to repair the Lock, and through it, Cybertron.
