It looks like either Vector Sigma or the front of the Nemesis to me.

I too originally thought it was Vector Sigma's console, but was proven wrong by a quick rewatch of the scene.

As for the Nemesis, seems kinda random for something not that important to be given such focus on a DVD/BR cover.

Seeing as this setting is in space, I thought it could be the Nemesis moving toward Cybertron, and Optimus & Megatron are battling on it's roof.

That's just a superimposed, faded stock image of Cybertron laid over the background space.

You can still see stars and space on the bottom left and right of the photo, just above the platform the faction leaders stand upon.

It's still a stock image of Cybertron. Most of those will have it set in space.

Plus, an actual scene set in space wouldn't have that bright whitish blue tint on the background while everything else remains normal and unaffected in normal lighting.

What is there to really say it's not the Omega Lock?

I don't have doubts.

I never said it wasn't the Omega Lock. We should consider other possibilities, however, by examining what's in the background rather than the obvious.

I fathom the Omega Lock is on Cybertron rather than orbiting it...on a platform that looks a lot like the Nemesis. Unless Megatron gets his hands on it first.

Why are you taking mere DVD/BR artwork so literally? Since when has original artwork that was made specifically for a DVD/BR cover ever portrayed a literal scene in Transformers media?

Look at the season 1 artwork. Did Optimus and Megatron ever have a dynamic pose session in a bright blue Cybertronian ruin in any season 1 episode?

In "Darkness Rising", did all the characters ever stand together on a mountain with the Decepticons on another mountain in the background during a lightning storm at night like in its DVD art?

In "One Shall Fall", "One Shall Rise", or "Orion Pax", did Optimus, Megatron, and Unicron all stand in front of the Earth in outer space with Unicron standing behind them as they look away from him like in the DVD art?

You can't make such specific assumptions based on vague DVD artwork. Optimus and Megatron fighting on a platform over Cybertron is as generic a situation as the other above DVD cover descriptions.

Episode 48; Hard Knocks

...
creepiest title ever

Sheesh, "Previously on Transformers Prime" without a "To be Continued..." again?

"Last one to the Omega Key has to scrub the Energon tanks for a week" --

"Who knew Soundwaves could be such a Knock Out" --Oh, god.

All keys look the same. Cool beans.

Arcee & Bumblebee failed, but I bet if Smokescreen was there....

.....nevermind

Red Energon takes longer to process that regular energon.

You don't have the...ball bearings? Dafuq, Bulk.

Damn, Screamer. Epic entrance.

So this is the negotiation Starscream is going to give Megatron in Episode 50? Not Red Energon, but rather...the 3rd key. Interesting.

Arcee, STFU, kkthxbai

Honestly, Arcee is getting on my nerves. Perhaps she's upset that Smokescreen is replacing Cliffjumper as the 6th member of Team Prime?

Ooh, Soundwave's been lookin' for the Autobot's base through the humans.

Whoa, Smokescreen's the fourth key? So that's why they capture him. Presumably Alpha Trion purposely sent him to earth?

*credits roll*

Son of a-

Sh** just got real.

Ugh.

Y'know what?

Look at these:





Now back at your "Omega Lock:"



Notice any similarities?

Episode 49 -

Megatron's gloating at the beginning really shows that he was more concerned about showing up Optimus than acquiring the relic.

Knock Out's sudden wanting to go after this relic really doesn't get an explanation. I mean, why now, of a times, does he want to go get this relic, instead of during any of the previous times following the events of "Hurt"?

Smokescreen really feels like he should be Hot Rod/Hot Shot, but then his line about destiny stands out from that since the typical Hot Rod/Shot character didn't reach their destined positions by thinking they were supposed to. To them, it just happened. Here, however, smoke thinks he's supposed to become great.

"Destiny's child". LOL

Hey, Knock Out got away with the relic. That was quick. And Megatron really doesn't know what it is.

Oh wow, they're going after the third one in the same episode. I'm liking this good pace.

Bulkhead and Dreadwing have a Matrix-style fight.

So wait, how come Dreadwing's bomb is so easy to remove this time when it wasn't so in previous cases?

The key was just buried under some rocks? Smoke, can't you see that when things are that easy they never really are? You had much better intuition than that before. Then again, I guess this keeps him from getting more Gary Stu-ish, so kudos to him having some personal flaws.

Sneak attack from Snake Eyyy-I mean Soundwave. And he got the third Key. Two wins for the villains in the same episode. Wow.

Whoa! It wasn't Soundwave being ninja-like, it was Starscream using Red Energon. And he overheard Bulkhead talking about Alpha Trion and the Omega Keys. Snap!

Laserbeak has been sent out to seek the proximity of the Autobot's base.

Both sides have decoded the final entry... but there's something different. Instead coordinates, it's bringing up an image.

SMOKESCREEN! He's the last relic?!

By a stroke of luck, Laserbeak has spotted Smokescreen.

Soundwave got him! What took the Autobots so long to bridge to his location?

The end? And without a "To be continued..."?

Holy smokes. This was a huge episode. All sides played a role, and the stakes really felt high this time. We also got more insight on how and why Smokescreen just happened to wind up on Earth. Things also really feel like endgame, as though this could be the end of the series instead of just the second season. It'll be tough for season 3 to top this unless Beast Hunters really blows us away. And, for the second episode in a row, no humans. Go figure.

Next week, Smokescreen is a hostage and being held by Knock Out, he tires to escape but can he? And the Bots also fight Starscream (this trailer was shown during the end credits of the repeat of last episode that aired after this episode).

Next coordinates are discovered

Looks like Arcee and bumblebee are on this one against Knockout

Knockout soundwaves are a knockout!

Megatron still doesn't know what the Omega Keys are. Ha he's left out there

Starscream is still waiting for that energon to process since he got it in New Recruit...
And it's finally done

This time it's Bulkhead and Smokescreen against Dreadwing
So far it's a battle with bombs
Bulkhead pulled a fast one on Dreadwing with that

Smokescreen found the relic and he's got it
Wait never mind

Starscream sure is fast with that energon

Well Arcee is yelling at Smokescreen and he left
Nice going Arcee

Finally the last relic is... Smokescreen

Well he's gone and that's not good

Now soundwave took him and its over

Can't wait until next week!!!

[PrymeStriker]

If that isn't enough evidence.

Here ya go:



It's just a Decepticon keyboard. After looking at this, I'm convinced that it's not the Omega Lock. Are you?

Also, off the controversial topic, I see a pattern of Arcee & Bumblebee against Knock Out.
