Not bad. Like the cannon for the arm.

Not sure if this is a must buy for me. I don't have that much shelf space, but this might be buyable just to make OS more complete.

Friggin'. Awesome. :APPLAUSE:

I was initially underwhelmed and not sure looking at the silhouettes, but this has jumped on to my 'Must Have' list. I'm very happy they took the opportunity to add a new blaster for his left arm. The tracks/wings are a bit wide but I get why that is. Looking at the connecting edges of it I'm wondering if some additional track will be made available to complete a circuit. The launch pad looks pretty comprehensive but very cool, if a little kibble-tastic in robot mode. The lighting feature looks badass. Now I'm just wondering what the significance of the cage at the top of the claw arm is.

The only thing I'd like now is a modification to allow for more shoulder articulation on the claw arm.

Welcome back, MakeToys. :DANCE:

I really do love nearly everything about this upgrade. My problem is shelf space. I use Ikea shelves and I had to move literally my entire Classics collection on every shelf to make room for YOTS Omega as it is and this is going to make it even bigger! Still, I already know I'm going to have to get another shelving unit for Metroplex so it's not a deal breaker. I don't mind the ship arm as I've had the Energon Omega Sentinel since it came out so I'm used to it but it is a nice piece. It'll really come down to cost for me. I love my Omega even without all of that!

In the words of Charlie Sheen... "Winning!"

Can't wait for some preorders or more pics to drool over.

I agree, 100%.

After seeing these pictures I was checking out my Omega. I'm interested to find out how the rails attach to the back.

Awesome ! Im all in ! We will finally have a real Omega free of monkey arms and a blooming flower for a cannon :lol:

*Nods* Now that's what I'm talking about. It'll make an already very good toy even better.

The price for all of this is going to cost over $150. I don't need all that race track base play set stuff. What I need is a better main figure.

Do you have a pre-order link? Or is this just guessing, again?

I'm not exactly a newshound, but I haven't seen any preorder links or any pricing info.

Here's a preorder link, but it's been unused since this was first announced

but...

he's leader size! :-$

kidding. I agree. This kit does seem to improve the toy, in terms of Geewunnity, but there's still a lot of the original toy there that doesn't work right for me. Maybe if it hadn't been a Year Of The Thingy exclusive, I'd have picked it up and consider paying for the upgrade, but an already too expensive base toy, plus what's likely to be a substantial price point on the add-on make it none too appealing.

What, you don't like red and urine yellow flippers on Omega? :lol:

Why didn't MT just make a G-1 Omega Supreme figure from scratch.

News Credits: 5 · by **alexison** » Fri Jan 24, 2014 5:58 am

If you didn't like the $150 price tag you assumed this would be, I highly doubt you would like the price of a whole new Omega figure; just ask Planet X.

I'm still on board. The mold isn't 100% G1 but it is a lot of fun nonetheless.
