Omega Supreme: The Most Powerful Transformer EVER Joins the Energon Universe!
Whoa, hold onto your Energon cubes, Transformers fans! Skybound Entertainment's Transformers #13 (by Daniel Warren Johnson, Jason Howard, Mike Spicer, and Rus Wooton) just introduced the most ridiculously powerful Transformer EVER in the new Energon Universe: Omega Supreme! We're talking levels of awesome that make Devastator andShockwave look like, well, toys. The issue also showed other characters; some we all know and love, including the return ofStarscream (thenUlchtar), alongsideJetfireandGenvo.
The comic starts with a flashback, centuries ago onCybertron.It features some origin details onStarscream. Then, the real craziness starts. Those three witnessOmega Supreme(the last Guardian ofCybertron) flying by, and that single moment provides a stunning reveal.
Omega Supremeis, like, super important. This is seriously an iconic character. He's been in plenty of otherTransformerscontinuities, most significantly as that ultimate defender after theQuintessonoverthrow. This guy savedCybertronand later led various escape plans.
There’s this thing. In theG1continuity, Omega Supremehad a brutal betrayal and his loss created those conditions in which the war later took an entirely unexpected and far worse direction! MegatronturnedConstructicons(the originalCrystal Citybuilders) intoDecepticonsusing this "Robosmasher" device. This completely rewritesCrystal City’s importance within the timeline of this ongoing battle for power.Then? They betrayed him, destroyed the city and that's what eventually beganOmega Supreme'spursuit across the galaxy. TheEnergonUniverse hasn't revealed the whole story yet. How much this stays intact, that initial plot device from early conflicts remain, these will only become far clearer over time as that whole new Universe progresses further! What that storyline’s meaning really implies concerning current ongoing storylines.
This new version showcases just how immensely important the older stories remained. Ulchtar (Starscream) gets totally hyped by the massive bot’s presence— causing an explosion to attract attention! He’s also there inGenvo'sfinal moments; and these combined events highlight just how deeply impacted he is during these later plot developments which affect his very identity and decision.
WhenMegatronasks for Ulchtar'sname, that changed, inspired character has an amazing reply –“Starscream”—honoringGenvo's"screaming the stars" line; resulting in that name creating additional meaning when later considering the massive significance and presence ofOmega Supreme. That's crazy! This name reveal not only changes Starscream's identity, adding far greater nuance, emotional connection and deeper meanings but this is even funnier considering his long, complicated interactions in later conflicts, and throughout later Transformers series!
Skyboundis busy. There is theVoid Rivalsseries which implies that thisSacred Ringsetting is related toUnicron; and those hints aboutZerta-Trion(aAlpha-Trionanalog) highlight those levels of potential power. The sheer quantity and depth of details around how they impact this Universe shows the depth of details and how much this production truly involved and the quality expected.
Omega Supreme'srole hasn't been fully established; those enormous power levels clearly suggest some enormous upcoming developments. His possible arrival in the currentEnergontimeline would surely meanAutobotvictory in their struggle with thoseDecepticonsand especially in his hunt for thoseConstructicons; completing that earlier storyline device from way, way back and possibly providing closure. That huge addition, would surely change things permanently! All those additional conflicts would result in an entire new arc; one potentially more emotionally rich; showing some needed depth of storyline; especially in conflicts surrounding earlier betrayals. ExpectOmega Supreme'spresence to shake things.
Omega Supreme’sarrival is just insanely big. This massively powerful Transformer's arrival into theEnergonUniverse raises the stakes immensely! We know from these moments in #13 what those enormous potential changes truly mean and all the details surrounding that, these will remain incredibly exciting; a huge element driving viewers’ anticipation.
That's one powerful addition to theTransformersmythos—especially how Omega Supreme's history changed those important characters for later plotlines in a highly satisfying way. Expect massive things from here. ReadTransformers #13, folks!
