    Hi everyone,

    I found these two photos on ACtoys.net It's control artwork of the Elite Guard Ship, and of the Ark.

    I don't believe that these have been seen before. I ran a search, but couldn't find anything.

    Also of some interest is the dates.

    Here is a link to the original thread, or rather, the second page of the thread where I found the pictures.

    Here are the photos!

    Wow your nerd eyes sure are getting untrained! There's some weird boxes near the cannon and different detail behind the cockpit!

    It's still 95% odd the same ship though.

    Hmmm... that's sort of a homage to the Autobot Shuttles from the movie, I think. They had massiove boosters bolted on, and the front part had some design similarities to the Ark.

    It's entirely possible that they're the same class of vessel (Minor design differences aside). Since Omega Supreme is a 'dead' vessel repurposed for civilian work, he doesn't have the booster. Military vessels would have it, probably to add weaponry, range, speed and other qualities without having to conduct major surgery on what is essentially an Autobot each time you reassigned them to a new task.

    So when Omega Sentinel transforms, he likely seperates from his booster.
