Omega Lock
- The Omega Lock is a piece of cosmic technology found in the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family, and in the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.
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. Prey
Smokescreen decided, against Optimus' intentions, to repair his fallen leader with the Forge. The upgrade, however, left the hammer powerless and thus, dooming yet another chance to revitalize Cybertron through the Omega Lock. Rebellion
As Megatron still intended to rebuild Cybertron and cyberform Earth, he commanded Shockwave to begin the reconstruction of the Omega Lock. The severe damage that Optimus inflicted to the Lock meant that human technology would be needed to successfully repair it. The Decepticons proceeded to engage in a series of heists to acquire the required materials, including twenty tons of nuclear control rods and a particle collider synchotron. Once they had the raw materials, the Decepticons rebuilt the Omega Lock directly on the underside of their ship. Minus One Persuasion
With the completion of Cyber-matter formula underway by Ratchet and Shockwave, Megatron commences his plan to cyber form Earth into a New Cybertron using his very own reconstructed Omega Lock he informs Soundwave to re-positioned the Nemesis warship high above Earth's atmosphere in space. Synthesis
