Yep, and nostalgia inhibits imagination because it keeps one's mind from thinking beyond a specific idea or perspective, limiting the imagination's potential.

Modern music is flooded with unoriginal manufactured garbage performed by people who don't put their heart and soul into music.

Sorry for bringing this back on topic (somewhat). I was just curious what the neck head for Energon Omega Supreme was all about. Is it an homage to anything?

The designer(s) put that there because kids would often lose the Headmaster unit of Headmaster figures, which not only meant that an accessory of the figure would be gone, but that the main body would become useless, who would want a headless robot?
So they put in that mini head so you would still have some sort of a head for your Omega Supreme should you lose the headmaster.

Head-to-head which one is a better toy, G1 Omega Supreme or G1 Shockwave?

The "Touch" was also in the late 80s no? :sad:

G1 Omega Supreme is the only Transformer in my Transformers collection. Does this qualify me to be a part of the fandom? Can I call myself a collector?

by **duragrip** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 1:23 am

I'm torn between G1 knockoff Shockwave and G1 Takara Tomy Devastator to go with my G1 Takara Tomy Omega Supreme. G1 Shockwave has cool electronic gimmicks like Omega. G1 Devastator is his rival. If I can only get one which is better?

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 1:32 am

I've decided that I no longer like Omega Supreme, purely because of you duragrip, so my advice is to sell Omega off and use that money to buy Shockwave and Devestator.

Get Shockwave and Devastator. A daddy and son combo from the Marvel Comic.

If your serious about Energon OS then I highly suggest the Year of the Snake. It's far more impressive in many ways I feel. Don't be fooled by the size of his head, once in your hand I think you will agree it's a great TF. I also traded up Energon OS for Omega Sentinel...an even better looking version than the first. And when I got them side by side they are some bad-ass looking bookends.

I can't comment on prices but IMO both are worth getting...good luck in your choices dude! ;)^

I'm working on the specs for my custom G1 Omega Supreme. Do you have any ideas about features you would like to see on him? I think a good start would be to give him the ability to speak. It does not seem like it would take that much electronics. The functionality would be like those dolls that you squeeze and they say something different each time. I'm sure you have other ideas that I haven't even thought of. I'd like to hear them.

Maybe make it the size of a fully grown average adult so you can take him to bed at night and snuggle?

Or make it lifesize...then you would have a engine of destruction! Just don't invade Japan, they already have a lifesize gundam, which has taken down bigger foes.

Yeah, awesome idea, put a giant engine of destruction into the hands of someone who's bat **** crazy.

I should ban you for that.

I think a laser could come out of G1 Omega's plasma blaster arm, with a sound effect to go with it.

Perhaps an led light mounted underneath his face-plate activated by an external switch could make him into a night light.

I'm still wondering what shoots out of his clawed arm.

Hey, look how often OS was turned into scrap. He may blow himself up!

Or we get our own engines of destruction, there's enough around for everyone

I never thought of that. Did Devastator and Omega Supreme ever fight each other in the G1 Marvel comics?

Nope. The two never got the opportunity to fight each other.
