I'm nipping at the bit to order this big guy from BBTS. I want him so bad but i had to get the rain makers set first cause the set had been selling out here and there. I'm gonna get Omega Supreme but it might not be till end of this month first of October. Those stupid bills get in the way of my fun (lmao) but ya know everyone gets like this as i do from time to time.

 

Doesn't look like it, since he's a Siege then he probably has minimal interaction with titan masters.

 

Alrighty, I always wait a week or so to do a text review of my figures, and here's another. I do this for fun and also in the hopes that it will help people make a decision on whether or not they want a figure in their life, so hopefully at least someone gets something out of this other than me. If not, oh well, I enjoyed typing it up.

Ramblings:
When $160 barely gets you an MP-scaled car-bot these days, the gigantic Titan class Omega Supreme's size is a welcome bargain. As the third Titan in my collection, Omega is a definite trade-up over the loose joints on Devastator or the bad joints, iffy stickers, and near complete lack of paint on Trypticon. Don't get me wrong--I loved both of my previous Titans--Omega just feels more like a finished product. Omega has excellent joints and a well-balanced build which allow him to pull off poses that almost make him as fun to handle as the similarly exemplary Siege Deluxes. My only complaints about the bot mode are the lack of cartoon-accurate blue eyes and grey forehead. That's it. After a simple parts-forming transformation, we have Omega's similarly near-perfect rocket base mode. The rocket mode is massive, so massive that I can't fit it into any of the photos I've taken of the figure...it's just too tall. The tank is my favorite portion of the figure, I love the fold out ramp for Micromasters and the adjustable guns on the side. The base mode's only flaws are some flimsy plastic used to hold up the rails and an iffy connection to connect the rails to the bot mode's legs. Countdown is a fun little toss-in that exaggerates Omega's size, even though he barely has an alt mode. I really can't find much of anything to critique about this figure, so instead of gushing I'll just end the review.

The Good:
Pretty much everything.
Nitpicks:
Blue eyes and a grey forehead would've made him perfect.

The Bad:
Flimsy plastic used to hold up the rails in alt mode, which also have a fairly iffy connection to the figure's leg.
Mode Ranking:
1. Bot mode
2. Tank
3. Base
4. Rocket

Transformation Difficulty: 4/10--pretty easy
Grading: Siege Voyager Optimus Prime is pretty much as close to a 100/100 (I gave him a 94) official figure that I can think of, so that's what I'm grading to. I want all my figures to be above a 70/100, anything below that has failed in some regard, anything above an 80 is a figure I really like. I start with 100 and take points off.

Grade: 94
(-2 for wanting blue eyes and grey forehead, -4 for for iffy plastic and iffy rail connection)

 

Thanks, I suppose that’s what I should’ve expected. Was just hoping they’d continue the trends set by fort max and trypticon. Especially since jetfire had Titan master seats and there is an Apeface coming out

It’s really too bad the micromasters didn’t have the Titan master foot pegs so that the system would just be expanded on.

Can omega at least connect to trypticon and fort max? Anyone got a pic?

 

From what I've seen, yes, thnough he only has one or two such connections for such. The rest of his connection areas are for his "highway" to connect to his legs.

And I agree about the titan master connectivity. But Trypticon and Fort Max were also released in the same trilogy, so that's the excuse they have for them.

 

They weren't just released in the same trilogy, they were both released during Titans Return specifically.

 

Previous page WFC Siege Omega Supreme

 

Yes I am aware, but my point was that the -masters were more of an I tegral part of that trilogy, or at least the last 2/3s of it.

So I still want wrong  

 

There was a brief moment I was content with that Energon OS as my stand-in. Even pimped him up with 3rd party accessories. But no, into the bin he goes as I wait for Siege Omega Supreme. It would have helped a lot if he was a headmaster with a bigger head.

 

Is anyone able to transform the arms into the rocket perfectly each time? I can get it but it takes 30 minutes of fiddling to get it straight, its only the bottom section that has trouble closing etc. I've seen reviews and some have similar difficulties. Maybe there are copies where the tab is longer and it works perfectly every conversion?

I'm able to get it lined up but any nudge knocks it out. Any fixes? Are there copies that DONT have this issue and convert perfectly each time? Thank you

 

Oh the shoulder isnt rotated into the proper area

 

Yeah, you have to have them just perfectly aligned.

 

Could anybody, by chance, take some photos of Omega w/ Tfc's Hercules?

 

If no one can get you that picture, I think Emgo has a comparison shot of Hercules with Omega on his video.

Or is it Baltmatrix? IDK, I watch both.

EDIT: It was emgo, here's a link to his vid, should take you right to the comparisons portion.

 

Just got mine today, he is pretty awesome. I like how easy he is to transform and that all the parts go somewhere.

 

This guy is awesome. Just got mine today and had a beer and transformed him.

My only two gripes are the nonrotating turret and the yellow eyes, especially when we saw the prototype with blue eyes. Regardless, he is still awesome.

 

Thanks for looking out, my dude.

Sadly emgo showed Combiner Wars Devy and Toyworld's Devastator. Booooth of which I thiiiiiink are taller than Hercules. Hmm.

 

On mine it was the bicep rotation I didn't have right. Both bicep joints were frozen, and I had to "break" them free with quite a lot of force. Sounded and felt like there was some glue in the joint that came free. After that I could rotate the arm the correct direction, and the joints work fine now.

 

Ah, sorry, I don't know why I thought that was Hercules. I hope it still helped somewhat though

 

What was the official reason for eye color changing? ...especially if it was shown in the prototype a different way?
Just curious.
