Omega is definitely want, but isn't his head kind of look too small? Now working on finding a spare spot for him.............

Quite honestly, I was thinking the same thing. I assume that they are aiming for a more G1-ish head, but I feel that it could be a bit bigger. Besides that, I think that if my finances improve, I might consider seeking out his Japanese Energon counterpart.

with the exception of Omega Supreme which is a pretty clever retool, these pictures make me thank Primus for 3rd parties. How much worse can Hasbro's output get before even kids turn their noses up?

I think the new head is meant to be based on the WFC Omega Supreme game model, like how the new claw is.

As for why it's smaller, maybe they got rid of the Headmaster gimmick and had to make the head small enough to fit underneath the Vehicle Mode and be hidden away in that form

I couldn't agree more

There is that version as well, seeing how that would explain the lack of creepiness expressed with his head, versus the G1 Encore "debut" piece that Takara Tomy put out.

I couldn't agree less. I can really see where Hasbro are going with this. The beasts are something totally new to any kids who got into Transformers between now and Cybertron, and those new ridiculously pointy cars with their big, action-featured accessories are really gonna stand out on shelves for parents and kids. And I'm not into Cyberverse but it seems to be popular with kids and they have a lot of good ideas here (including the Roadbuster Bulkhead which is pure fanbait).

Legion class Twinstrike.

Loving Omega. I just hope that's a hint of a clear orange fold-down facecover I think I'm seeing.
