so looking at the new hasbro omega i have the DX9 gab omega i was wondering is there a thread with side by side pics or info or input from other members on why they pick one over the other?

 

Well, judging from the pic, Hasbro's version seems the simplest in transformation (might not be a bad thing if you play with toy a lot).
And the rocket is longest, more like real one, but that's more far away from G1 style.

For me, since I have DX9 version I'm very happy with it as my MP Omega Supreme, no intention to replace it especially I know Hasbro will cut corner at somewhere, somehow.

I have the Weijiang blue version as my Guardian.

But I think I will still buy the Hasbro one and repaint it to another blue Guardian

 

Both FT and DX9 have been said to be pretty solid and over all good figures.
I have FT and it is heavy and easily stands on it's own.
DX9 is lighter and has more articulation.
No one knows about Hasboro yet
Not sure about Weijiang.
I'd recommend going through the threads and read the pros and cons.

 

i have Gabriel and he is the only Omega for me. i played around with FT and he was just too wobbly for me. now even as cool as Weijiang is with all his electronics it wasn't the G1 look that i was hoping for.

had they not all been in rush to hit the market. i feel one of the 3p Omega's if not all could have come fully loaded with all the bells and whistles that each one has separately.

 

Just saw this pic, so the size might be as big as the 3rd party ones, but looks like there is no waist articulation?

 

im also looking for input feed back on any an all 3rd party vs hasbro takara tomy transformer 1- i just started chemo "again" lol im bored and a buddy is building me custom shelving units to display my collection ive been un boxing/unpacking and getting ready im lucky enough to have a complete G1 bots from 84-89 my mom actually saved them and kept in bubble wrap and in boxes so i want to display them along side the Classics series the modernized updates of G1 i do have many 3 party figures to fill in for the modern remakes guess im just looking for others thought ideas and how they place official vs 3rd in to the collective of TFgoodies

 

I'm buying hasbro Omega to match the Greebly messes of Fort Max and Trypticon.

 

Man, I don't know you, but after reading this quote from you, I'm hoping and praying like hell that you beat what you're fighting. I think Ole Omega is rooting for you and guarding you, too. Also, I don't have a stake in this debate but I love all Omega Supremes so it's difficult for me to give you an assessment of them!

 

saw this love the rocket has compartments for countdown n other micro’s

 

That pic makes me think it will be shorter than all three 3P options. I was going to go the route of WJ original colors and DX9 blue, but during a flash sale last year, the WJ blue also dropped in price, so I went with that one too.

In the videos I’ve seen, the concensus seemed to be, you can’t go wrong with picking up any of the three 3P options. It boils down to your aesthetic preferences and preferred price point.

I suppose a question in my mind regarding hasbro’s offering is if this will be the first siege figure in to get clearanced out, or if this wil be their first Titan class in a while avoid getting heavily discounted.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Time will tell.

 

I hope that gummy worm plastic on his claw goes away.

 

There are a decent number of youtube videos on these guys. I think Benskollectibles shows all 3 side by side in the Wei Jiang review. Most of the comparisons are between Giganticus and Gabriel, since Fans Toys and DX9 are waaaaay more popular and respected than Wei Jiang, and also came out first.

I can't comment personally; I was pretty strongly divided between DX9 and Wei Jiang. Hasbro might actually be the perfect balance between them for my personal tastes. And the price point is going to be hard to beat. It's funny, because I don't buy a ton of official stuff these days, but CW Devy, PotP Predaking, TR Trypticon, and Takara Metroplex are all fantastic IMO (yeah, they all need upgrades to some degree, but even factoring that in, they are dramatically less than 3P equivalents). Omega might be another hit here (only passed on Fortmax because I just view him as redundant to Metroplex, and I like Plex's design better).

 

the YOTS Omega (a retool of Energon Omega) with the Maketoys add on set (you can get it from TF Source for like 38 bucks) is a good CHUG-ish Omega. He's closer in size to the CW/POTP Combiners too.

 

Here are some random internet photos with the Wei Jiang, Fans Toys and the DX9. I just recently received the Wei Jiang Omega and I love it. I like the sleeker look of it. Plus it has lights, sounds, voice clips, and a motorized tank that motors around the track in base mode.

 

The Siege Omega looks fine, but it doesn't look like it has light and sound, which I know some people hate those gimmicks, but I'm a sucker for them. Honestly, if there are two TFs that should have electronics, its Shockwave and Omega Supreme.

Anyways, I was paying more attention to Siege Jetfire that I didn't see that Siege Omega's (both of which just became available for pre-order on Amazon) price was $160. Which I'm assuming will eventually drop to nearly 50% off like Predaking and Trypticon. I'd wait for that price drop- I think of one is willing to drop more than $150, at that point might as well go for the 3p offerings. Sure they're a bit more expensive, but at the same time I feel you get more for your money.

 

More pics... still now waist...judging from the last pic, it does seems no way to turn the waist around.

 

Here is a photo of my Wei Jiang Omega Supreme.

 

The biggest problem for WJ version is it's too slim, doesn't like traditional Omega Supreme's body shape.

 

I don't think the animators even knew what the body shape was....

Half the time He was either as wide as he was tall, or fairly slim and pretty darn tall, so if anything, weijang just did a in-between look which I think works.

 

Wait! Not everyone is selling their 3rd party Omega for the Seige one!? That's what was said in the official threads.
