Will Hasbro ever create a Omega Supreme for FoC

War for Cybertron Omega Supreme Project Genesis exists but I would like a cheap one from Hasbro like they made a metroplex. I don't know if I'm asking for too much but a tripticon would be nice as we only have a autobot titan and I think that that over powers the autobot toy line, that is from a collectors point of view and not of a childs.

I don't think there's been any mention of a possibility of either. As that game is rather old now it seems unlikely.

I find it unlikely given the recent release of YotS Omega and the shift to IDWverse character design

It's a cheap shot (in more than one way), but YotS Omega is actually WFC Omega Supreme. Maybe he could be a reformatted repurpose?

^This. That's basically what Hasbro did. They took the WfC look (colors mostly, with slight retooling) and applied it to the Energon figure to make YotS Omega Supreme as an "official" version (read: substitute for those who could not afford Genesis/don't buy third party toys :P) of WfC Omega Supreme.

If you can afford Genesis, he's worth it, he really really is. He's incredibly playable and poseable and as dead-on accurate to the game as you could imagine. He's also quite massive and looks really good standing, looming behind WfC Megs ready to strike :P.

I can't imagine Hasbro ever revisiting him, at least not for the foreseeable future. Even if they did, I suspect it would be just like Metroplex, who while taking on certain characteristics of FoC Metroplex, is clearly not very accurate to how he looked in the game and a poor substitute for a "true" FoC Metroplex (although Generations Metroplex is a MASSIVE and decent figure IMO, just not FoC enough).

And Generations Metroplex is officially (IDW) G1, not FoC, but he does have some characteristics from the game. :-B

For you guys, maybe. Here in the Netherlands I had to pay €30 for a 6 pound turkey, just for my American wife. Ouch...

Just to be nerdy but it's demand cost, in the Netherlands they don't need as many turkeys because they don't celebrate thanksgiving as much as they do in U.S.A so it cost more in holland but yes chicken is better than turkey.
