Toy Review - Transformers Platinum Edition Omega Supreme

I don't know if I should leave mine MISB or open him.

Totally agree with Gok's review. I picked up this toy because it has quiet a good likeness for a classics Omega Supreme. Sure its really basic to transform, but I mainly wanted this one in robot mode for display, so I'm prepared to let negatives slide. It also wasn't over my budget, would of preferred it to be say a fraction cheaper. I look at it also and its practically begging to be customised. Overall the colours are good, but its that red train and the reds wheels on the right leg need to be changed. I voted only if.

Hmmm Howd you manage to shave off a few more dollars from the price there Gok? Isnt it $98?

Anyways I agree with what you said, but yeah I really wish they didn't strip the electronics, coz at that price range it should've had at least those gimmicks in place, coz the former Energon was around the same price but had all those gimmicks. Especially if they added like, a talking gimmick instead of sound effects only. Would've been awesome!

One thing though I failed to notice and Im glad you pointed out is that the visor opens . I guess coz when I noted that the electronics where missing I kinda fixated on that issue . Anyways, still a very nice figure. With this also , my Energon Omega has been placed back to his proper line shelving. As he was sorta taking the place for this figure, thought Id repurpose him but with the arrival of this figure, back the older mould figure goes hehehe. I bought mine last few months ago from BBTS , $99 so for it to arrive here and sold on retail... grrrrrrrrrrr - cheaper by a dollar and postage cost too. daaayuum.

Oops, I've corrected the price to $98.

Open!

I've made a thread for posting comparison pics of Omega Supreme here

Open!

Took your advice and opened him up and let me tell you it was totally worth it

Since I have Energon Omega, this guy is staying in the box. Though when Metroplex gets here the temptation to take out all the game-inspired toys for group shots may be more than I can resist

Love the claw arm - very WFC, as is the colour scheme. I still would have loved them to make a WFC Omega with the games alt mode as I thought his alt mode was great. Ah well.

The visor is a bit yellow for me, would have been better orange (though not as orange as Energon Omega) but that's a small complaint.

The box is very cool and ornate, part of the reason this guy will remain MISB for me

Overall very happy I got this guy. Got him and Platinum Magnus, but am bypassing the Platnium Prime - wasn't much of a fan of the Energon version and I got that, no way am I getting another one.

Now all they need to do is make a proper WFC Omega, an Animated Omega and a IDW-inspired Omega and I'll be happy - he's one of my top 5 fav characters ever

I have Energon Omega Supreme too, and IMO the amount of retooling and repainting they've done on this toy definitely make it worth opening too.

I was entertaining the notion of buying it...Then I saw it in the store.

You must be lucky because I couldn't find it at all in most stores. Only one has a price tag and empty shelf.
