That is the Greek alphabet for Omega, not an upside down horseshoe.

I assume you've taken physics before? It's also used as the symbol for ohm. At least, most teachers tend to know and explain what the Greek letters seen in their classes are.

Omega is probably the most well known Greek letter: It's been used in Star Trek, it's the logo for the God of War games, there's a watch company named Omega that uses it as a logo, symbol of the resistance movement in the Vietnam era, it's a fairly common symbol. It's even used on the patches of the last space shuttle flight since one of its meanings is "end".

It's actually a pretty good assumption on CrazyDevy's part that the majority of its customers will know the symbol.

Im from the streets of Miami. High school grad, but no college. Skipped class, hung out with the wrong crowd and eventually changed my life for the better. But I think it's a pretty bad assumption on Crazy Devys part to assume that all Transformers collectors are highly educated in foreign languages or physics. I dont do star trek, or video games. I do know "omega" means "the end" from rap music metaphors, but never seen the symbol in my life.

Didn't take Greek in high school, but picked it up based on other experiences in life (such as other people previously mentioning video game references and some Physics). The "assumption" of CrazyDevy is on YOUR behalf. CD only does a teaser, and they can be vague on purpose which is usually their intent. In August, we should get product images which will show beyond a doubt what the project will be for. It just happened that a lot of us have a pretty damn good idea that it will be related to Omega Supreme since there is an Omega symbol on the picture.

You asked originally how the symbol indicates Omega Supreme, and I answered you. I took no assumptions in your lack of education or experience towards the symbol. Your response indicates that you now take offense to having your question answered. Next time, maybe you shouldn't bother to ask questions you don't know the answer to.

You know what they say about the word “assume” right? He assumed that I had been in a physics class before which I have not. I’m not really upset with him. Its just time too get away from what society has deemed the stereotypical Transformers to be.

Midnight_Fox wrote:I apologize for that, then. I took physics in high school, so had presumed that you probably had as well. Some times I forget that schools and states have different requirements and curricula.

But this statement made by Midnight Fox did irk me a little bit:

gothsaurus wrote:My guess for Omega, SMALLER fake tracks on his back. The ones on him look really unnaturally huge. That's been most of Devy's upgrades thus far... size fixes. (width of the head, size of blasters, etc.)

gothsaurus wrote:All things considered... if you total up the cost of ALL the CD Devastator upgrades, it would probably cost more than the actual reissue box set. Guessing we won't ever see Devy selling the parts in a set for this reason.

It's like the Predaking wings for me. The ones he has now are perfect scale for him-and can barely stay on as is.
