It looks as though CrazyDevy will be turning their attention to Omega Supreme in August based on the following teaser image that has been added to their website. Most likely the first in series of upgrades for G1 Omega Sumpreme. Considering his "parts-former" transformation there are a lot of upgrade possibilities here.

Most intriguing. Hopefully some legs with articulation!

This will be interesting. Since I still have my Omega Supreme I'd very much like to see what they do. If it's as good as what they've been doing I may invest in these upgrades as I'm sure there will be many of them.

I'm not crazy about crazy devy stuff but if they replace the face, claw and legs it would be my first purchase.

While there are a lot of parts to swap out, I can't think of any upgrade that could really make him more show accurate besides giving him a face, which Reprolabels has already tackled, and even that forces collectors to risk damaging an expensive figure.

Maybe it'll be something for his alt mode: extra track to make him a true alternative to that old TF electric train set?

Or maybe they're venturing into full fledged original figure territory with some non-transforming guardians cheap enough to truly troop build with, like Impossible Toys has previewed on their site for years. Nothing against that awesome ehobby Guardian, but the cheapest it ever got was about $120, a tad too rich to buy a legion of.

Wait, this is Crazy Devy, so the price will be stratospheric.

Maybe new gargantuan arms that form a rocket big enough to actually fit Legends size Autobots into?

Maybe it's a pair of articulated longer legs and better arms for the cost of two Encore Omega Supremes.

most probably DM

thats funny

The only thing I can see that really NEEDS improving are the legs. The claw arm and laser arm have some of the best articulation on any G1. Yea a face would be nice, BUT, I can testify that getting that plastic shield off is dangerous. My original still walks, and the two plastic "wheels" that move the legs are VERY fragile. Hopefully the legs will not walk, but look great and add some height to him. On my "Big boy" shelf, he is the smallest.

Oh, another Crazydevy ad that doesn't give us any info on the product they're gonna make. Classic.

Just based on every other CD product ever made, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess it'll be a new face with light up eyes. That's the pattern with them, isn't it? Head first and then it's anybody's guess.

Having no Omega Supreme to upgrade means these sets are an easy pass. I may pass on any future Devestator upgrades as well with not one, buy two whole new options to choose from.

Sadly, my first thought is.... PLEASE finish the projects that are underway (and dragging on for months/years) before starting a new one.

AND please post finished product pictures before selling any individual parts. Buying a Devastator wrist or a Predaking toe is silly without seeing an assembled robot. Fans need this visual to make an informed decision about pricing and simply whether they want the product.

And of course, having a KIT with all the parts at a slightly discounted rate would be the best. It's a pain when some parts sell out, but others don't. You're left scouring 3rd party sellers and ebay just trying to complete the figure. It's a bit of a joke.

I got the encore omega supreme and he already have a face, only fun thing i can see to him is more track pieces and mount Helen with the ARC wreckage inside. Track pieces could make him go on patrol around metroplex or Fortress maximus.

extra track would be awesome. I also suggested extra building pieces for Metroplex to extend the buildings taller like real skyscrapers. Maybe someone will knock these out.

Oh I forgot about the head, it'll be a shrunken down Encore Omega head for only 60 dollars!
But don't worry, it'll have an LED in it so that the eyes glow, just like the original!

If I like what I see with this, I just might have to get in on it.

nah...

Won't be that cheap!

I own the encore reissue, and to be honest, he's a great toy.

Yeah, no kidding.

I've got a growing suspicion that you sir believe Crazy Devy charges maybe too much for their products?

Everyone knows they charge too much for their stuff.

I would own most of their stuff right now if it was all about half price. For now, I'll stick with FansProject and other groups that have good stuff and is affordable.

UPGRADE : UNNECESSARY.

Wow.....he does look pretty damn small when put beside those behemoths..buuuuuttt.......his alt mode is arguably one of the best of that bunch if not THE best!IMO. He's huge in his alt mode, it looks cool and it's fun as hell.

As for CD and what they have to offer as far as an upgrade, i can't hazard to guess. I know for sure that it will be exorbitantly priced though.

Their promo tactics are definitely an annoyance aswell. Just show us the F*@#'n upgrade already!!! This teaser bullshit they pull drives me bonkers.

Teasers generate interest, and there are obviously those individuals who now are waiting impatiently for more info. I believe CD accomplished their goal.

Can somebody please explain how an upside down horseshoe indicates Omega Supreme ??? I only have G1 cartoon knowledge and this sign does not ring a bell in the1 cartoon.

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

Yes, Omega's track and rocket alt. mode is Pretty Sweet! I would like some legs with added height, however, more track would be alot of fun too!

Price tag will most likely, keep me from buying.

Teaser images in general; suck. I almost feel 3rd party companies release images months (sometimes it turns out year/s) in advance to feel out the crowd. Like if everyone harps on a feature or color or design, they will have time to change it. Why else would you want the "OMG I must have it!" effect to where off over months leading up to the actual products release?

May be it's time for Hasbro to create a Classics version of Omega Supreme.
