Nor should he be. He needs to scale with his rival, Devastator.

Seems kind toy accurate unless the pics I've seen of G1 Omega Supreme were the result of decades of plastic discoloration.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Did they really change Omega's lightpiping color to orange? :shock:

I can't actually recall any Omegas with orange eyes... Hope they change it back to blue before it gets shipped out. The orange eyes and orange visor are a bit too much for me, but the blue eyes and orange visor made the eyes really pop

A beige/ivory color is a match for Omega Supreme's original toy, on the outer track pieces and the inner forearms. Now, in the diorama photos SIEGE Omega's beige looks a bit dark in comparison, but in the white-background photo it looks lighter. As for Countdown getting it.. Well, that's mold economization for you. His parts are obviously on the same sprues as some of Omega's.

Same for me. While I absolutely love him, he's just too costly to pay full price for...that and Titans tend to always end up discounted down the line anyway.

havem't seen predaking hit clearance since tru died, I wouldn't count on clearance sales for titan figures anymore

Has Predaking been subject to the opposite and seen price spikes?

He's still available at primary online retailers, full price though.

Alright. Well, the same seems likely for Omega Supreme then, so I have no worries about deferring accruing the funds for him. I was worried about a Combiner Wars situation.

Omega Supreme is awesome, but there's so much else I want to grab too and I don't have CW/UW Devastator.

The only Titan I ever saw on clearance was Trypticon (only.. we've only had 3 in the States really not counting SDCC versions, unless you count Cybertron and Unicron). I heard stories of Metroplex (my favorite Titan) on sale at Costco but I never saw him. Tempted to wait for Omega to go on sale... But I don't want to miss out on him either seeing as the only place I ever saw Titans was ToysRUs, which is apparently coming back from the Well of All Sparks

Rumors are that he has a light piping gimmick that changes color, but this hasn't been confirmed yet.

Even if I don't get one, it's not a "pass," it's a "my wallet won't allow it."

I'm strongly considering it, but Jetfire may be my uppermost price limit.

Rumors as in someone saw the eyes were different and said “‘maybe they change” it spread like a fire

Pretty much, yeah... >:oP

But were the eyes blue before? I don't think I've noticed it before.

Fortress Maximus was $40 at Ollie's. I considered getting him but passed because of his size. Predaking has had discounts a couple times from Amazon and other US online retailers, though I don't think its price ever been as low as the others.

For my part, I haven't decided when to get Omega. I bought the Unite Warriors Devastator, so I think I'm obligated to pick him up at some point. I may preorder from Pulse after my Wave 3 figures ship.

When Omega was announced I immediately started saving for the WeiJiang Devastator and got him in March just to go with Omega once he comes out.

I'm tempted to paint Countdown's beige white.

Well, you do that (I'd do the same tbh). Although according to the pics I've seen you shouldn't paint the chest white - it's silver. And the helmet's gray. And the face blue, though dunno if you'd wanna do that part.

I will very likely buy this beauty thank goodness I have just started getting back into transformers again , the first time I saw the original omega supreme it was a figure I so wanted to have

Unfortunately for me, I am in the exact same situation.

I think this would be the second only Titan I would pay full price for, but unless I win the lottery, my only chance of getting one is from Ross, Ollie's, etc...

For those interested here's Red Alert. If you're wondering the waist does peg in well, but my Sideswipe was fine as well.

I heard about Fort Max at Ollie's. Looked to see where the closest one is... Unfortunately not very close. Was hoping to see him at TJMaxx or Ross, but no luck. I might just have to bite the bullet on Omega

They both peg in with my copies of Swipe and Alert, but Red Alert is just ever so slightly a tighter connection.

All the joints are like that on my Red Alert, and that makes me happy.

Okay. I surfed through looking for all the Wave 3 sightings, and didn't find Springer. I found him today at a Target on the North Side of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. They should be showing up out there...

I wonder... Will there be a load of fussing about Omega Supreme not having a motorized walking gimmick like there was with Titans Return Trypticon?
