I'm more than happy with my G1 fig cause the playability of it is second to none in the TF world as far as i'm concerned.
When somebody makes one with a motorized tank that rolls around a track toggling a flashing rotating cannon and it can walk in bot mode.... THEN, i'll raise an eyebrow and become interested. Till that time comes i won't give any release of a "classics" Omega a second thought
G1 Omega is the only Omega you need.
I would tend to think on a classics display shelf that increased articulation and cartoon accuracy would trump electronic gimmicks. Thats just my personal opinion. The only G1 brick I dare display on my classics shelf is sky lynx. And i would replace him in a heartbeat if somebody does an articulated version that looks more sleek like the cartoon.
Like i say, till the day comes when somebody does him right, a new Omega isn't even an issue. G1 hits the mark in playability and esthetics. Sure an articulated one would be great but it seems designers have a hard time getting his proportions right or even the esthetics for that matter.
I also like electronic gimmicks myself, when they are done right, and they are done right in Omega. The fun factor in that figure trumps bending knees. Everyone i show him to get a smile on their faces when they see him walk or in base mode roll around the track. He's enormous in base mode which further lends to his superiority to recent releases of him.
EDIT: I also don't have a "classics" shelf per say....i mix my G1's and classics.
