    It was painful to cancel my Red Alert preorder for Omega. Now I'm glad I did.

    That head looks FANTASTIC, and I'm glad to see they managed to incorporate the tank cannon on the back of the head. If there's any flaw, it's that it's smidge undersized for the mold.

    Considering that G1 Omega was NEVER a Headmaster, shouldn't that be a plus?

    Beautiful head sculpt! The rest of the body (aside from the right claw hand) may look a bit inaccurate to the G1 show model, but the colors on this mold pop so much it's fairly forgivable, I think.

    Now I don't feel so bad about passing on Genesis. That figure may be game accurate, but this version is official. And I know every ratchet joint on Omega Supreme is going to click like a champ. I have a strong feeling that a lot of people are going to be taking apart their Genesis to do repairs.

    Damn those new OS pics make him look like a must have for Classics.

    Is BBTS still the only place you can preorder Omega?

    Except for it being itty bitty tinsy tiny. It is grossly out of proportion.

    Does Platinum Supreme still have the headmaster gimmickry?

    Those would be some excellent retool/repaint releases. They could fix up Wing Saber's head and give him a sword, and give us Classics Star Saber! Too bad the figure would still be a major brick though :p

    Yeah, but it helps sell his massive size.

    Man, I love that head. And that color scheme. Can't wait for this guy.

    If I hadn't just spent my toy funds on Figuarts, I would be buying that Omega Supreme SO FAST. That thing looks great, and I'm sure somebody will find an awesome base mode for it to boot. That would go great with my classics collection.
