    Cool! I went back and did the search and I see them now. I hope they get made. I feel like Omega Supreme's shoulders are so bare.

    Yeah, me too, there is still too much potencial for upgrades in this figure, I just imaging a new head, arms that could split and combine into rocket with ramp included and the rest part (shoulders and part of the back) becomes a platform or something like that, even integrate them into the torso for a bigger base mode at Transformers Exile style or IDW where Omega was for sometime the command base for the autobots.

    Personally, I think Omega Supreme's tank mode is too big. I would like a smaller version that fits the tracks, and a rotating turret. Just wishful thinking. :)

    Well, the huge tank doesn't botter me because I use Warpath and Impactor into the tracks and they fits perfect but the rotating turret is a big missed. I was trying to make a custom for the turret so it can rotate but found no way to make it happen :(

    I bought Omega and I have a problem. Both the knees on my copy move freely for the first 4 clicks and then stop. I can't bend the knees more than 45 degrees and that prevents me to transform him into base mode (other than limiting posability). Did that happen to anyone else? I'll try to take apart one leg to see if there is something wrong inside but the pinned yellow part on the front might prevent me from doing so.

    Edit: solved. I risked and tried to bend the knees with as much strength as possible. I actually had to lay the figure on the floor and use it as leverage. Knees then started moving and now function perfectly. I wonder if I sheared some plastic in the joints but I didn't hear any strange sound and the ratchets still clic fine. It was a scary experience, though.

    Other than this, first impression is positive. Omega is as imposing as he should be and nicely posable considering his build. In the next days I'll try the base mode connected with Fortress Maximus, but I have to make some preparations in order to have enough room. Speaking of Fortress Maximus, the ratchets on Omega are so much better that I'm seriously starting to think it wouldn't be a bad idea to redo him and Metroplex.

    Some people reported little plastic squares that dropped out of the knees when trying to bend them. Maybe related to your issue?

    So I don't get to transform this guy as much as other figures, being huge and such. One thing that has never gone together very smooth were the panels to close up the rocket. Maybe I missed this in the instructions, but I noticed a lock/unlocked symbol that actually shows to twist everything right. Definitely made it easier to feel like everything is solid.

    The arrows also help see how to align it, as I never remember which side goes where.

    Thanks for the input. I searched on the floor but it doesn't look like anything came off (unless the pieces are already forever lost in the moquette) and I don't hear rattling sounds when I shake Omega. I'll probably never know the truth.

    I don't own Omega yet, but if I were you I'd try to carefully disassemble the knee ratchets to see what's wrong with them.

    The tracks can be opened up and still be mounted on the back.

    I'm wondering about this as well, anyone take theirs apart and see if the broken squares correlate to the knee joints freeing up?

    Two things prevent this from working "properly": the tab on the wing has no recess on the other track portion when fully open, and there are protrusions(gun embankments?) on Omega's back that prevent open wing insertion, unless you unclip the backpack. You *CAN* do open wing, but you might not like the results.

    I did it by leaving the backpack a little loose. It works but it may not be for everyone.

    I tried to disassemble the leg for make the "split" custom but the pin inside is glued so can't separate it.
