In the Marvel universe, he was portrayed differently, although there is still a strong tie to the Constructicons. The Autobot Grapple is credited with the creation of Omega, trying to mimic the benefits of the Constructicons, although Omega was a single being. He originally was given the task of protecting the Ark, in which he fended off a Decepticon attack on his own. Omega eventually beefed up defenses on the Ark, and controlled these new defenses with a Power Booster Rod. This rod was eventually stolen by the human known as The Mechanic. Omega was also at one time in the running for Autobot Commander during Prime's absence in “King of the Hill!”. After Trypticon attacked the Ark, Grimlock ended up being chosen instead. Omega was eventually defeated and deactivated by Starscream during his control of the Underbase. Although Ratchet is shown in later panels working on Omega in an attempt to revive him, there is never proof that Ratchet succeeded.
Omega also appeared in the Energon series. He was part of the original Primus vs Unicron battle. After that battle, he was sent into suspended animated, but was reactivated by Dr Brian Jones and Primus in 2020. Eager to return to battle, he joined the Autobots and gained the ability to merge with Optimus Prime to form Optimus Supreme. Omega could split into 2 pieces and formed a battleship and a construction crane. These pieces could merge to form a 'supertrain' of sorts. The 2 pieces could also form artillery. Omega has also had brief appearances on Dreamwave, Devil's Due and IDW comics.
Erm... dude, I was saying that the name "Omega Supreme" pwns "Omega Spreem." I'm fully aware that they're completely different toys. :Pfwiw I name my Energon Omega Supreme's "headmaster" Mini-Con "Omega Spreem." ;D
I think this was a case of when post count PWNs. lol.

Omega Spreem (AM) was not battery powered. It sounds like your confusing it with Rumblers Exo-suit(same color scheme)
I like how this thread topic says "Autobot" Omega Supreme... as opposed to what? Decepticon Omega Supreme? *cheesy.grin* :D ;)
P.S.: "Autobot Omega Supreme" still pwns "Omega Spreem." :P
I think my favorite was that statue that was released...
HOLY CRAP :eek

At first I thought the e-hobby version was strange being a blue & white scheme, but reviewing one of the old G1 cartoons, I found they in fact were painted blue & white as generic 'guardian' robots.
Dude, awesome spoiler!
I can't wait to get that figure!!!
My original G1 Omega Supreme is in reasonably good enough condition that I don't feel like forking out for an Encore reissue - but I definitely wanna get the e-Hobby sentinel! :D
As mentioned earlier, Omega Supreme in his G1 form was retailed at around $50. Since then, he hasn't really appreciated in value much. This might be blamed on the motor used to power his walk, as it is well known to fail. However, he can fetch as much as $250 if 100% and with original box. There was even an AFA grade asking for a whopping $3500! However, it ended with no bids but had over 1400 visits. The Encore edition is set to release in June 2008 for $115.
Even back in the 80's, I was never much of a fan of Omega Supreme. They really focused too much on sales and getting more and more and MORE characters (and thus toys) instead of actually developing the characters they had and putting more into writing. Then again, that wouldn't bring as much money in as toy sales. I never cared for Omega supreme - just too damn big and seemed more like a hail mary pass than a good idea. Then again, I wasn't much of a fan of Ultra Magnus and Galvatron either. Toy sales over better writing. Let's see how far the new MOVIE line goes before the same thing happens.
