Omega was created by [[Wikipedia:Takashi Iizuka (game designer)|Takashi Iizuka]] and designed and modeled by Nobuhiko Honda at [[Wikipedia:Sonic Team#Sega Studio USA (Sonic Team USA)|Sonic Team USA]]. He bears a strong resemblance to another character in the series, [[E-102 Gamma]] (a possible design inspiration), who is part of the same robotics production line in the series. In the games, he was created by [[Doctor Eggman]], and is out to destroy him due to lack of respect and want for revenge. Omega is 150 cm tall (4 ft 11in) and weighs a hefty 1,230.512 kg (2712.77 lbs) making him the heaviest character in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (series)|Sonic series]].<ref name="Sonic Channel">{{cite web|url=http://sonicjam.wikidot.com/sisghz:other-sonicchannel-cp-omega|title=E-123 Omega's Official Translated Character Profile}}</ref> He has the capital Omega symbol (Ω) painted on the front of his left shoulder, in contrast to all the other E-100s, which had the lowercase [[Wikipedia:Greek alphabet|Greek]] letter (ω), possibly representing that he is the most powerful of Eggman's E-Series (though the original set of E-100s from [[Sonic Adventure]] had various Greek Symbols). Though they may have used the capital letter because it's far more noticeable and well known than the lowercase. Omega has helped Shadow (and to a lesser extent, [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]]) in 4 Sonic games, and while not being a major character, is popular enough in his own right and has established himself as a main character. Recently, however, he has made less appearances in Sonic games, as he only seems to be in the mainstream canon games, with the exception of ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'', as a teammate to Shadow and Rouge. ==History== [[File:Omega 12.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Omega as he appears in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' and ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedehog]]''.]] Omega is the 24th and last of [[Doctor Eggman]]'s [[E-Series#E-100|E-100 series]] robots, debuting in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]''. Omega was designed by Eggman to prevent the release of [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], and, in case he failed to control Shadow when he is freed. To accomplish this, Eggman sealed Omega in an abandoned base with Shadow.<ref name="Sonic Channel"/> Being imprisoned infuriated Omega; he decided to prove his status as the most powerful E-Series robot by abandoning his original programming and taking revenge on his creator and all the other machines he built.<ref name="Sonic Heroes manual">Omega's bio from the ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' manual</ref> When [[Rouge the Bat]] went looking for Eggman's secret treasure in his base, she accidentally reactivated E-123 Omega when she released Shadow from a stasis pod. Mistaking Shadow for an Eggman robot and following his new mission, Omega attempted to take out the hedgehog. However, Rouge broke up the fighting long enough to hear both their stories. He soon teamed up with Rouge and Shadow as the power member of [[Team Dark]].<ref>[http://uk.cube.ign.com/articles/442/442718p1.html IGN: Sonic Heroes Profiles: Team Dark]</ref> Later, Omega and his team finally defeat Eggman, ([[Metal Sonic]] in disguise), and then sets about destroying Eggman's [[Shadow the Hedgehog#Shadow Androids|Shadow Androids]]. Omega later teams up with the other teams against the [[Metal Overlord]]. Omega is last seen during that event with Shadow exchanging looks with him and holding Metal Sonic's deactivated body in his arms. Omega made an appearance in ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' ([[Wikipedia:2005 in video gaming|2005]]), still with the sole intention of getting revenge on Eggman. He assists Shadow in the Hero missions of the "[[Iron Jungle]]" and "[[Lava Shelter]]" stages by teaming up to destroy Eggman's robots, and helps him battle the "[[Egg Breaker]]" and "[[Egg Dealer]]" bosses following those stages. In Expert Mode, he talks to Shadow on the "[[Mad Matrix]]" and "[[Lava Shelter]]" levels, also being some kind of [[Wikipedia:Comic relief|comic relief]] in the latter, along with Rouge.<ref>''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' (2005) [After Shadow activates a "Hint Ring" in the Expert mode of [[Lava Shelter]].] '''[[Rouge the Bat]]: So, [[Shadow]], how are you holding up? You're doing great! Only four stages left!''' [Rouge is cut off by Omega.] '''E-123 Omega: This is Eggman's secret base. I will defeat him, and prove that I am the strongest!''' [Omega is cut off by Rouge.] '''Rouge: Omega, cut it out! Don't you have anything better to do?! Omega: Ohh...</ref> It is unknown whether he is considered the hero helper because he is merely less evil than Eggman, or if he has actually reformed to a heroic Eggman-foiling mechanical partner. In the missions that he appears in, the player must either destroy the [[Egg balloon]] ("Iron Jungle") or head to the center of Eggman's base ("Lava Shelter") to complete the hero mission. Strangely, whether the player completes the "hero" or "dark" mission for "Lava Shelter", Omega will help Shadow fight the Egg Dealer, despite the "dark" mission being helping Eggman (due to Eggman accusing them of destroying too much of his base). *NOTE:Omega is the only ally character that neither appears during the introductory trailer or in the Last Story. Omega appeared in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' with a prominent role in Shadow's story. Upon being sent to the future by [[Mephiles the Dark]], Shadow and Rouge notice Omega in [[Wikipedia:Sleep mode|stand-by]] mode in the "[[Crisis City]]" stage.<ref>[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)]] '''<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] and [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]] notice Omega] Rouge the Bat: Omega! What's he doing here? [Shadow opens Omega's panel on his back and begins typing.] Shadow the Hedgehog: It seems he's in stand by mode.'''</ref> Rouge later goes back to the present alone, where she finds Omega in the [[Tropical Jungle]] Zone for unknown reasons, though judging by the throngs of Eggman's robots it can believed Omega was trying to destroy them. Rouge programs him to help Shadow out in the future,<ref>[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)]] [After Rouge explains what's going on to Omega.] '''E-123 Omega: Situation understood. What would you like me to do?''' '''[Rouge pulls out [[Chaos Emeralds|Chaos Emerald]].] [[Rouge the Bat]]: Take this, and deliver it to [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]].''' '''[Omega takes Takes Emerald.] E-123 Omega: System reactivation countdown iniated. Backup power source and spare magazines secured. Command program priority changed. New mission: Shadow Support. External access no longer permitted. Confirmed.''' '''Rouge the Bat: I'm counting on you.''' '''[Omega walks away.]'''</ref> in which Omega goes into stand-by mode until the point in the future when Shadow is in trouble. He then wakes up in the future and helps Shadow in a fight against Mephiles, and Shadow and Omega go back to the present. Later on in the game, Mephiles teases Omega by saying that Omega was clearly made to capture Shadow. Angered by this, Omega proceeded to unload his cannons on Mephiles, temporarily defeating him in the process. Omega then reveals somewhat sadly, that he is the one who captured Shadow in the future due to humanity's fear of him. He is playable in the first Boss battle against Mephiles, [[Wave Ocean]], [[Dusty Desert]] and the [[End of the World]] stages. He is also playable in the downloadable Very Hard Mission and challenges of Shadow's levels. Including [[Kingdom Valley]], [[Crisis City]], [[Flame Core]], [[Radical Train]], [[Aquatic Base]], Dusty Desert and the boss level against the [[Egg Genesis]] in [[White Acopolis]]. [[File:Omega 2006.png|thumb|200px|left|Omega's new design in ''Sonic the Hedgehog''.]] Omega's design has changed a lot, with a taller head and bigger shoulders, along with various small details such as less smooth fingers, (making them look somewhat skeletal), giving him a more humanoid appearance. Omega's frontal black stripe has been replaced with a white/silver stripe, making him resemble [[E-Series#E-102 Gamma (γ)|E-102 Gamma]]. The stripe also sticks out much more than in previous games. He has a thinner head, with the eyes closer to the stripe. The flap-like things on his sides also look rougher. His hands also look sharper and rather run down.<ref> [http://www.teamartail.com/games/heroes/cg/omega_100.jpg This] compared to [http://images3.wiki.nocookie.net/sonic/images/f/f8/Omega_2006.png this].</ref> He walks and moves in a slower, more cumbersome manner like an old fashioned robot, compared to his wild, sometimes erratic, human-like movements in previous games. Unlike ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' and ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'', he has a higher pitched voice. This is because his voice actor was changed to [[Wikipedia:Maddie Blaustein|Maddie Blaustein]] after [[Wikipedia:Andrew Rannells|Andrew Rannells]] quit voice acting for [[Wikipedia:4Kids Entertainment|4Kids Entertainment]] to pursue a stage career. These changes could be because ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' has a more realistic style than previous Sonic games. *NOTE: **''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|Sonic 06]]'' is also the first game to feature Omega without being partnered up with Shadow or Rouge to be playable. **Omega is the only character to not get a wallpaper of himself. Omega is one of the 11 playable characters in ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]''.<ref>[http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=190471 Preview: Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood - ComputerAndVideoGames.com]</ref> He is an optional character and has returned to his original design. Firing missiles is his main combat move, which can affect nearby enemies along with the main target. He went to Eggman's city of [[Metropolis]] to destroy any robots he could find, but he found the [[Nocturnus Tribe|Nocturnus]] instead. The Marauders had reprogrammed Eggman's old robots to serve them and had sent them to take Omega apart after he had to retreat into a room in north-west Metropolis. The robots were successful, but Shadow was worried about Omega and went in search of him. Shadow then teamed up with Sonic and co. to help find Omega. Omega was found and repaired by [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], much to the disapproval of Eggman. When Omega saw Eggman, he was going to attack him, but Tails told him that they'd joined forces with Eggman. At first Omega thought Tails had gone mad and suggested destroying him, but Shadow and Rouge confirmed this for Omega. Trusting his friends more than Tails, Omega teams up with Sonic after recharging himself.<ref name="Chronicles Quote">''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'' [After they enter the room with Omega inside.] '''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]: Wait! That's Omega! I knew it! Those Marauder goons. We have to-- [Robots enter.] [[Miles "Tails" Prower]]: Later! Someone's coming! Shadow: Good. I need to smash something. [...] Shadow: Omega! [[Doctor Eggman]]: Oh, don't waste your time on this one. He's been a thorn in my side for years! Shadow: Quiet, Eggman, or I promise you I'll-- Tails: He's still functioning! Just heavily damaged. But I think I can... Yes! With the parts from those guardian robots, I can repair him! Shadow: Do it. [...] Shadow: Omega! Can you hear me?

Eggman is helping Team Sonic against the Marauders. Rouge:As hard as it is to believe. E-123 Omega: THERE IS NO REASON TO DOUBT SHADOW OR ROUGE. THERE IS NO REASON TO TRUST THE REST OF THESE MEATBAGS. Tails: What happened to you, Omega? E-123 Omega: I CAME HERE TO DESTROY ALL OTHER EGGMAN ROBOTS.

Shadow: Come with us, Omega. We're going to destroy the Marauders for what they did to you. E-123 Omega: YES. THEY WILL BE DESTROYED FOR WHAT THEY DID TO ME. Rouge: Ugh. Again with the emotionless revenge. It just gets tired. Tails: Let's go, team! Eggman: Yes. We have much work to do! E-123 Omega: I MUST TAKE TIME TO RECHARGE BEFORE COMMENCING REVENGE. Shadow: The stronghold in the Underground, Omega. You can recharge there. Eggman: I never agreed to allow that faulty machine to-- Shadow: Silence, Eggman. Now. E-123 Omega: I WILL GO TO THE UNDERGROUND TO RECHARGE. YOU WILL FIND ME THERE IF YOU NEED ME. Shadow: We'll get the Marauders for what they did to you, my friend. Let's get to it. The Marauders must pay.</ref> In combat, Omega has the highest damage power, and the highest armor, but is also one of the slowest and therefore he only gets one attack per round.<ref name="Chronicles Codex"/> He provides most of the end credits for ''Sonic Chronices'', along with Tails and [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]]. Omega also has his own wallpaper which shows Metropolis in the background.<ref>[http://sonic.bioware.com/_img/_gallery/_wallpapers/_1920x1200/omega_1920x1200.jpg Omega's official ''Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood'' wallpaper]</ref> ===Miscellaneous=== Omega is briefly mentioned by Rouge during ''[[Sonic Battle]]'', when she notes the similarities between him and [[E-Series#E-102 Chaos Gamma (γ)|E-102 Chaos Gamma]] after defeating him.<ref>[http://sonicjam.wikidot.com/local--files/sislz:definite-canon-games/sbattle.jpg Screenshot from ''Sonic Battle'']</ref> Omega's artwork and screenshots from ''Sonic Heroes'' can be seen in the "museum" of ''[[Sonic Gems Collection]]'' and ''[[Sonic Mega Collection#Sonic Mega Collection Plus|Sonic Mega Collection Plus]]''. Omega appears on two collectible cards in ''[[Sonic Rivals]]'' and ''[[Sonic Rivals 2]]'', namely the "E-123 Omega (2006)"<ref>[http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/7058/066mr6.png Screenshot from ''Sonic Rivals''.]</ref> card and the "Team Dark" card.<ref>[http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7146/042av8.png Screenshot from ''Sonic Rivals''.]</ref> According to EA magazine, Omega was supposed to be playable in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', along with [[Silver the Hedgehog]], [[Rouge the Bat]], [[Cream the Rabbit]], (who was later changed to a referee), and [[Donkey Kong]].<ref>[http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs18/f/2007/184/2/2/Mag_Scan_by_Pur_Rulz.jpg Scan of EA games magazine.]</ref> All of these characters, except Rouge and Omega, can become playable through hacking. Along with [[Jet the Hawk]], [[Big the Cat]], a [[Kiki]], [[Birdo]], a Goomba, an [[Egg Pawn]], a flying Egg Pawn, a Bullet Bill, a Boo, [[Espio the Chameleon]], [[Charmy Bee]], Lakitu, a Toad and a Bandit.<ref>[http://l0nk.org/mschar/?offset=0 Screenshots from a hacked European version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'']</ref> Omega appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a collectable sticker.<ref>[http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l395/E123Brawler/omegasticker.jpg Screenshot from Super Smash Bros. Brawl]</ref> An alternate universe counterpart of Omega, called the [[Omega Care Unit]], appeared in [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comic book)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #193, #194 and #195]].<ref>[http://www.comixology.com/sku/AUG083759/Sonic-the-Hedgehog-193 Sonic the Hedgehog#193 - ComiXology]</ref> It is a special medical suit created by [[Julian Kintobor|Dr. Ivo Kintobor]] to help [[Anti-Bunnie Rabbot|Buns Rabbot]] with her [[NIDS]], the same disease [[Maria Robotnik]] had. Buns also uses the suit as a means of protecting Dr. Kintobor until he can find a cure for her, much to the doctor's displeasure. The suit was partially destroyed, however, during a battle with [[Rosy the Rascal]]. Buns has also made references to Omega as in-game jokes. For example, during the fight with Rosy, she complains that the care unit's weapons aren't very powerful and says "Ah wish ah'd been outfitted with somethin' a bit more proactive...like a missile launcher or somethin'."<ref>[http://www.img.archiecomics.com/press/sth194_5.jpg Scan of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog #194]</ref> An obvious reference to E-123 Omega who has a missile launcher. Omega Prime is still yet to appear.<ref>[http://archive.sonic-hq.net/newsite/comics/kbsonicoverview.php Sonic HQ Comics Info - Karl Bollers' SONIC THE HEDGEHOG: One Year Later...]</ref> The writers of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic did once have Omega as a possible character to be introduced in issues following #134, but the idea has been scrapped. When current head-writer Ian Flynn was asked by a fan on a forum if Omega was appearing in ''[[Sonic Universe]]'', because he had stated that Shadow was going to get more of a supporting cast, Ian said that he "cannot confirm or deny Omega being in SU at this present time."<ref name="Ian Flynn at BumbleKing">[http://www.bumbleking.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=25510&highlight=#25510 BumbleKing Comics :: View topic - Ask Ian for OCT'08 - On Moebius, Iain asks You!]</ref> He has also stated that he has "concrete plans" for the robot.<ref name="Flynn at BumbleKing"/> Leaving hope for the future. During the [[Empire City]] stage in the Xbox 360 version of ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', you can see street signs with the names Shadow Ave, Rouge St, E-123 Omega Rd, Silver Beach, West Park, Chao Garden and [[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]] Rd. It is currently unknown if Omega will appear in ''[[Sonic Chronicles 2]]'', but since he was only optional in the first one, it is very unlikely. ==Characteristics== ===Personality=== Like [[E-102 Gamma]], Omega has a free will and a personality. However, he is considerably less noble than Gamma; while Gamma destroys only what needs to be destroyed, Omega destroys anything that could possibly pose any kind of threat to him or his mission.<ref>[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog (2000)]] '''E-123 Omega: Multiple targets detected on raday! Eliminate all threats!'''</ref> From his quotes, he thinks other Eggman robots are inferior to him,<ref>[[Sonic Heroes]] (2004) [After getting an A rank.] '''E-123 Omega: I am Omega, the ultimate [[E-Series]] robot!'''</ref> dismissing them as "''worthless consumer models''", especially the E-2000 model.<ref name="Omega quote 1">[[Sonic Heroes]] (2004) '''E-123 Omega: The E-2000! So they're in production. I'll destroy them!'''</ref> He hates side tracking especially when it comes to tracking down Eggman.<ref>[[Sonic Heroes]] (2004) [To [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] and [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]].] '''E-123 Omega: Warning... Immediate destruction if distracted.'''</ref><ref name="Casino Quote"/> Omega is also very prideful and feels embarrassed after he is defeated by less powerful Eggman robots.<ref name="Chronicles Quote"/> It also seems that he lacks any sort of negativity towards Sonic and his friends, and didn't even recognize them during their first meeting in ''Sonic Heroes'', as can be heard when the player finishes the Team Battle using Omega.<ref>[[Sonic Heroes]] (2004) [After defeating [[Team Sonic]] with Omega.] '''E-123 Omega: Group of Shadow-like beings destroyed!'''</ref> Omega's only goals in life are to take revenge on Eggman for disabling him, and destroy the doctor's other robots to prove himself superior. At one point in ''Shadow the Hedgehog'', Omega made a comment about how he would "reign supreme".<ref>[[Shadow the Hedgehog (video game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]] (2005) '''E-123 Omega: [[Doctor Eggman]], I will destroy you and reign supreme!'''</ref> Some fans have taken these words quite literally, and believe that Omega wants to take over the Eggman Empire and become a robot overlord in the style of [[Metal Sonic]]. However, subsequent games have shown this less believable, and it is generally taken to mean that he wishes to reign supreme as the greatest of Eggman's robots, although it should be noted that the Sonic cast acted rather out of character in ''Shadow the Hedgehog''. Omega is fairly loyal and dependable when you're on his good side, a bit of a holdover from his original purpose as a servant, and he's not incapable of looking past differences to forge alliances. He also genuinely cares for Shadow and Rouge as friends, and was depressed when Mephiles revealed that he will turn against Shadow in the future. In ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'', when the party encounters him, he tries to attack Eggman, and then Tails when the latter attempts to convince him that Eggman is on their side; he only believes it when Shadow and Rouge tell him so.<ref name="Chronicles Quote"/> Notably, in all of his appearances (barring the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog game, in which he behaved in a very odd manner stereotypical of old robots), he makes odd, often erratic movements, such as spinning his head (as if it's on a 360 degree axis) in many circles, and spinning during confrontations of Eggman in ''Shadow the Hedgehog''. Whether this is a programming flaw or intentional is not revealed. Also in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|Sonic 06]]'', when Omega is standing still, he makes odd movements as if he's doing [[Wikipedia:Warming up|warm up]] exercises.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzVnLKoSBCI Gameplay footage from ''Sonic the Hedgehog''. (2:18 for Omega.)]</ref> ===Abilities=== Omega has a huge array of extremely destructive weapons concealed in his arms, (somewhat similar to that of [[Grounder]] from the ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' cartoon), including two rapid-fire [[Wikipedia:Machine gun|machine gun]]s, ('''Omega Machine Gun'''), two [[Wikipedia:Flamethrower|flamethrower]]s,<ref>[http://uk.cube.ign.com/dor/objects/552385/sonic-heroes/images/sonicheroes_101003_28.html?page=mediaFull IGN 1]</ref> ('''Omega Fire'''), two [[Wikipedia:Recoilless rifle|missile launchers]], ('''Omega Missile'''), two unusual weapons that fire exploding [[Wikipedia:Drill|drill]]s,<ref>[http://uk.ps2.ign.com/dor/objects/545814/sonic-heroes/images/sonicheroes_120203_02.html?page=mediaFull IGN 2]</ref> and energy cannons similar to those used by the [[E-Series#E-2000|E-2000]] robots in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' and likely many more. However, unlike [[E-102 Gamma]], Omega is somewhat inaccurate, (despite the fact that he has some kind of special targeting system),<ref>[http://uk.cube.ign.com/dor/objects/552385/sonic-heroes/images/sonicheroes_art_101003_06.html IGN 3:Through Omega's eyes.] [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)]] [[Wikipedia:PlayStation 3|PS3]] '''E-123 Omega: Press and hold down the square button to lock on to targets.'''</ref> most notably when he is firing many shots in every direction with expectations that some of them will hit.<ref>This is shown when Omega and [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] fought after they first laid eyes upon each other.</ref> He can also retract his hands in order to attach a spinning Shadow and Rouge in their place, either using the two as [[Wikipedia:Melee|melee]] weapons or firing them as fireballs while in the middle of a jump,<ref>[http://uk.cube.ign.com/dor/objects/552385/sonic-heroes/images/sonicheroes_101003_26.html IGN 4]</ref> ('''Omega Bazooka'''). He can perform a similar move without Shadow and Rouge were he just fires destructive fireballs directly at enemies ('''Omega Launcher''').<ref>Information taken from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]] game manual.</ref> In ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'', he has two new abilities called '''Beam Cannon''' and '''Temporal Field'''. With '''Beam Cannon''', Omega fires a powerful yellow laser at his enemy, in turn reducing certain enemies health points by a considerable amount. And he can deploy a purple energy sphere that phases an ally (or himself) and makes that ally hyper with '''Temporal Field'''. It has been confirmed that Omega carries [[Wikipedia:Magazine (firearms)|gun magazines]], as shown in ''Sonic the Hedgehog''.<ref name="Trusting Omega">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaCvjAc0fe0&feature=related Cutscene from ''Sonic the Hedgehog'']</ref><!-- Copyright owned by Sega and Sonic Team --> Omega can also utilize jet boosters built in his back to help accelerate and hover.<ref>[http://uk.cube.ign.com/dor/objects/552385/sonic-heroes/images/sonicheroes_110403_05.html IGN 5]</ref> Also in ''Sonic 06'', he can fire bullets, (possibly lasers) using his wrist guns to blow away anything in close range, ('''Omega Shot'''). Here is a list of all of Omega's POW moves in ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'' along with descriptions about what they do. *'''Flamethrower''': Omega reconfigures his claws to deliver a fire attack that hits multiple targets. *'''Beam Cannon''': Omega reconfigures his claws to deliver a devastating laser beam that ignores armor. *'''Blazing Tornado''': Rouge channels Omega's fire attack into a fiery exploding kick. *'''Wrecking Ball''': Omega launches [[Big the Cat|Big]] at a target, causing damage to and possibly distracting adjacent foes. *'''Temporal Field''': Omega deploys a temporal field that phases a friend and makes that friend hyper. *'''Machine Gunner''': Omega reconfigures his claws as gatling guns, delivering full-auto attacks to the opposing team. Like most Sonic characters, but unlike most robots, Omega can jump and turn in a ball, known as the "[[spinball jump]]" or "[[spin attack]];" he can also grind on rails like most characters but unlike most robots. Omega is also somewhat fast due to a pair of jet engines located on his back, (fast enough to keep up with Shadow and Rouge to be more precise),<ref>[http://uk.cube.ign.com/dor/objects/552385/sonic-heroes/images/sonicheroes_101003_40.html IGN 6]</ref> that apparently can be used for floating (which he does along with Shadow and Rouge,<ref>[http://uk.cube.ign.com/dor/objects/552385/sonic-heroes/images/sonicheroes_101003_29.html IGN 7]</ref> calling it the Triangle Dive). His walking speed isn't very impressive, but can be boosted by approximately 15% with adamantium double-lubricated actuator joints installed.<ref>''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'' (2008) [To [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]].] '''E-123 Omega: ARE ADAMANTIUM DOUBLE-LUBRICATED ACTUATOR JOINTS CAPABLE OF BOOSTING MY GROUNDSPEED BY APPROXIMATELY 15%? Sonic: Uh... E-123 Omega: THE ANSWER IS YES TO BOTH QUESTIONS.</ref> He has also displayed considerable physical strength, capable of destroying thick doors and giant blocks of stone with his metal fists. Being a robot, he is able to resist certain forms of poisonous gas, psychic manipulation<ref>''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'' (2008) [After the [[Voxai]] Overmind tries to take control of Omega.] '''E-123 Omega: PSYCHIC INTERFERENCE DETECTED. MOVING TO ADAPT.'''</ref> and electrical currents that most of the other characters cannot pass through.<ref>This is evidenced by Omega having grade two invulnerability in ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]''.</ref> In ''Sonic Heroes'', Omega is able to use his team's Team Blast, "'''Chaos Inferno'''",<ref>[[Sonic Heroes]] (2004) PC version. [After activating a Hint Ring.] '''E-123 Omega: Activate Team Blast, Chaos Inferno, by pressing the Z Button when the gauge displayed at the top right of the screen if full.

His built-in arm weapons are somewhat changed in ''Sonic the Hedgehog''. He can now fold out guns all around his wrists instead of just replacing his hands with them<ref>[http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nYfsHGBp-dI/default.jpg Screenshot from ''Sonic the Hedgehog'']</ref> (although it is a possibility that Omega has had this ability for a while; in ''Shadow the Hedgehog'', Omega prepares to fire at Eggman without retracting his hand).<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWab_2EgWiQ Cutscene from ''Shadow the Hedgehog.'']</ref><!-- Copyright owned by Sega and Sonic Team --> He can instead replace his hands with two powerful black [[Wikipedia:Gatling gun|Gatling gun]] like cannons. Omega appears to be water proof as he doesn't short circuit in [[Frog Forest]], [[Lost Jungle]] or [[Charyb]]'s lair when it's full of water, but he does die when he falls into the water of [[Wave Ocean]] like many other characters in ''Sonic 06''. He also has some kind of built in sensor that allows him to locate enemies, lifeforms and other various objects such as switches.<ref> *[[Sonic Heroes]] (2004) '''E-123 Omega: Enemies detected 200 metres ahead.

It is likely that he cannot swim, so water may pose a problem. He is also one of the slowest characters in the series, which makes him an easy hit should he come in contact with a foe such as [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]], which is surprising as he was made to capture the equally fast Shadow. Although his speed increases considerably when he uses his jet boosters. Omega is also known to act before thinking, usually charging head-first into battle without any given strategy. This is Shadow's theory of how he could have been captured in [[Metropolis]] by the [[Marauders]], in ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]''.<ref>''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'' (2008) '''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]: What do you want, Sonic? [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]: Tell me about what happened to E-123 Omega. Shadow: I don't know. We've lost touch. But knowing him, he likely detected Eggman robots in Metropolis and went there to destroy them. He's always wanted to be the toughest robot of all, and he'll take any chance to prove his strength. Sonic: Do you think he's in trouble? Shadow: Omega's strong, but he's not invincible. And he's hardheaded enough to charge into danger without thinking. If something happened to him, I will be very upset. Sonic: Where do you think he is? Shadow: The device I had when you found me was some kind of tracker, and it said he was in [[Metropolis]]. It couldn't tell me where, exactly. So either the device was useless, or Omega's not giving off a signal anymore. That worries me. Sonic: We'll find him. Shadow: If those Marauders have done something to him, they have no idea what's coming to them. I'll stick with you until we find Omega, Sonic. But don't expect me to join in on your group hugs and picnics. I'll be ready when it's time to go.'''</ref> ==Upgrades== In ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'', Omega can be equipped with a large amount of claw and hydraulic upgrades that can only be used by him. ===Claws=== Below is a full list of all of Omega's claw upgrades in alphabetical order along with information about what they do and their stats. None of them appear until the fifth chapter of ''Sonic Chronicles'' when Omega becomes playable. *'''Blunt Claws''': Standard grade work claws. Slightly increases damage. *'''Cursed Claws''': Prototype combat claws. Difficult to control, but very powerful. Very greatly increases damage. <font color="Scarlet">Attack -2</font>, <font color="Scarlet">Defense -2</font>. *'''Grapple Claws''': Standard grade, durable and reliable combat claws. Moderately increases damage. <font color="#00FF00">Attack +2</font>. *'''Iron Claws''': Extra durable work claws combine protection with power. Moderately increases damage, slightly increases armor. *'''Serrated Claws''': Aggressive, razor sharp combat claws that require caution to use. Greatly increases damage. <font color="#00FF00">Attack +1</font>. *'''Spiny Claws''': Needle-like claws that tear through steel. Greatly increases damage. *'''Titanium Claws''': Master grade combat claws providing superior overall combat power. Greatly increases damage. <font color="#00FF00">Attack +2</font>, <font color="#00FF00">Defense +2</font>. ===Hydraulics=== Below is a full list of all of Omega's hydraulic upgrades in alphabetical order along with information about what they do and their stats. *'''Dura-Hydraulics''': Double reinforced parts for maximum durability. Greatly increases armor. *'''Iron Hydraulics''': Hardened metal for durability and greater hitting power. Moderately increases armor. *'''Master Hydraulics''': Premium grade materials providing the best defence and armor. Greatly increases armor. <font color="#00FF00">Defense +1</font>. *'''Oily Hydraulics''': Well lubricated and lightweight parts for more agility. Slighly increases armor. <font color="#00FF00">Defense +3</font>. *'''Rusty Hydraulics''': Leftover parts from disassembled [[E-100 series]] robots. Moderately increases armor but decreases defence. They are used by [[Miles "Tails" Prower]] to repair Omega after he's attacked by the [[Marauders]]. <font color="Scarlet">Defense -2</font>. ==Relationships== Omega rarely shows feelings other than cold hatred, very different from Gamma's calm and obedient personality, but there are a few occasions where he seems to care about other people.<ref name="Chronicles Codex"/> ===[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]=== Shadow and Omega are close allies. In fact, Shadow is perhaps Omega's closest friend and is even seen worrying over his well being,<ref>[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]] '''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]: Ok, we'll find Omega soon. Hang in there...</ref> (which is quite odd for Shadow as he usually keeps a tight lid on his emotions). In ''Shadow the Hedgehog'', Omega does not attempt to stop or destroy Shadow when Eggman claims that Shadow is an android that he created,<ref>[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]] (2005) '''[[Doctor Eggman]]: Shadow and Omega? Why you traitors! You two are going to stop me??!! Move aside!''' '''[Shadow puts out hand to stop Omega attacking Eggman.] [[Shadow the Hedgehog]]: Doctor, please I need to know...those androids...the ones that look like me, am I...''' '''Doctor Eggman: Yes!''' '''Shadow the Hedgehog: What?''' '''Doctor Eggman: You and Omega are my creations! But you betray me as you stand here before me! So now...I will destroy BOTH, turning you into scrap metal!''' '''[Shadow falls to the ground with shock.]''' '''E-123 Omega: Eggman...I will defeat you once and for all!'''</ref> despite Omega's hatred of other Eggman robots. This is further shown in ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' where Shadow and Rouge encounter Omega in the future in standby mode. After Rouge notes that they can't do anything for him, Shadow seems to show reluctance about leaving.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hav9wz2FzrM Cutscene from ''Sonic the Hedgehog'']</ref><!-- Copyright owned by Sega and Sonic Team --> Also, in ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', Omega shows anger at Mephiles' hinting of Omega's future betrayal towards Shadow, and proceeds to attack him.

Shadow: E-123 Omega is one of Eggman's most powerful robots. Unlike Eggman's other robots, however, Omega was... intelligent. He hated Eggman. Omega was trying to track down Eggman. I've searched all of Eggman's old hideouts for Omega, but no luck. I think maybe Omega went into Metropolis and he got disabled somehow. I was on my way to find him when you stopped me. Sonic: Why were you looking for him? Shadow: Because a powerful and friendly Eggman robot is a valuable ally. Even the likes of you should understand that. More than that, though, he was my friend. And I won't let a friend rust in Metropolis at the hands of those Marauders.'''</ref> (which is most irregular for Shadow), and shows anger if you refuse to rescue him. He also joins up with Omega to perform a POW move called '''Focus Field''', where the two of them strike an enemy together, with Shadow using Chaos Blast and Omega attacking with his machine guns. Shadow also teams up with all three members of [[Team Dark]] to perform another POW move called '''Metal Storm'''. Which involves Shadow levitating Omega into the air and Rouge kicks him at an enemy. Omega and Shadow also seem to have a friendly rivalry of who is the more powerful, similar to that of Sonic and [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], with Omega saying it's him.<ref>''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' (2005) [After Shadow activates a "Hint Ring" in the Expert mode of [[Mad Matrix]].] '''E-123 Omega: Shadow.

If you think so...then I challenge you to find and access all four of the world's databases.'''</ref> Technically, Omega is right in the fact that he has more physcial power than Shadow, but which of the two is a better fighter is not confirmed. Shadow is the ultimate lifeform, but Omega is not a lifeform, so it is really a toss-up. They seem to be evenly matched in their only battle when they first meet in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', but it is revealed in ''Sonic 06'' that Omega was made to contain Shadow from escaping Dr. Eggman's base where he was being held and actually captured Shadow in the future, so it's likely that Omega could defeat Shadow like he did in ''Sonic 06''.

Omega later finds and defeats Mephiles once again in [[Wave Ocean]]. Mephiles then revealed to Omega that he knew the he was the one responsible for imprisoning Shadow in the future. Enraged by this, Omega then proceeded to attack Mephiles with his machine guns. He then revealed this to Shadow and Rouge. Omega then sets off with the other members of [[Sonic Heroes#Team Dark|Team Dark]] in to [[Dusty Desert]], determined as ever to seal Mephiles before he can merge with [[Iblis]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hptYu-Qm22E Cutscene from ''Sonic the Hedgehog'']</ref> He and the others arrive too late, and then engage Mephiles in a final showdown.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDX1ULNbCeE Cutscene from ''Sonic the Hedgehog'']</ref> They prove victorious yet again, but they fail to seal Mephiles using the new [[Scepter of Darkness]].

He later watched [[Super Sonic]], [[Super Silver]] and [[Super Shadow]] erase Solaris from existence, thus erasing Mephiles from existence as well. ===[[E-Series]]=== Omega harbors a deep hatred to all of the E-Series robots, (especially the [[E-Series#E-2000|E-2000]] which Eggman began working on shortly after shutting Omega down.)<ref name="Omega quote 1"/> Omega is determined to destroy all the E-Series and any other of Eggman's robots<ref>[[Sonic Heroes]] (2004) '''E-123 Omega: Terminate all Eggman robots regardless of their purpose!'''</ref> which he dismisses as "''worthless [[Wikipedia:Consumer|consumer]] models''".<ref>[[Sonic Heroes]] (2004) [After destroying 3 of [[Doctor Eggman|Eggman's robots]].] ''' E-123 Omega: Worthless consumer models.'''</ref> ===[[E-Series#E-100|E-100 Series]]=== Although Omega has never actually been seen with any of his "brothers," he does indicate that he knows of their existence and he thinks them as his inferiors.<ref>[[Sonic Heroes]] (2004) [After getting an E rank in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' with Omega.] '''E-123 Omega: I couldn't even beat Gamma or [[E-Series#E-101 Beta (β)|Beta]].'''</ref> During ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'', Omega is repaired by Tails using old robot parts from the disassembled E-100 Series that were installed in Eggman's old flying Laser Drones that had been reprogrammed to serve the Marauders.<ref name="Chronicles Quote"/> ===[[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]] and friends=== Although Omega has worked with Sonic and co. on numerous occasions, according to ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'' he only helps them because either Shadow or Rouge are involved in the matter.<ref name="Chronicles Codex">Extract about E-123 Omega from the codex of ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]''. *'''E-123 Omega is the last of Eggman's E-series robots. Rouge released him when she released Shadow from his stasis pod, at which point Omega, believing the hedgehog to be another one of Eggman's creations, attacked Shadow. Rouge managed to end the fight long enough to find out that Omega was angry at Eggman for imprisoning him in the abandoned base with Shadow. At that moment, Omega joined up with Rouge and Shadow to form Team Dark. Since then, he has longed for a change to take vengeance on Eggman and prove that he is the strongest of Eggman's machines.''' *'''Omega can be harsh and ruthless, but he does have free will, something that Eggman's robots tend to lack. While he rarely shows emotion beyond hatred and desire for revenge, Omega is capable of feeling loyalty and friendship, as he considered his Team Dark teammates to be friends. Whenever he teams up with Sonic, it's not because he likes Sonic, but because Shadow is part of the team.''' *'''In combat, Omega has the highest damage power and armor of all characters in the game. He is so slow, however, that he only gets one attack per round.'''</ref> He lacks any real relationship with any of them and it is likely several of them don't even know who he is, as Omega is one of the few characters in the series to barely have any social interaction with Sonic and his friends. In fact, the closest interaction he's had with any of them is when [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] repairs Omega in ''Sonic Chronicles'', which could be considered non-canon since he is only optional and plays no major part in the story, so his largest canonical interaction would be when he fought teams [[Team Sonic|Sonic]] and [[Team Chaotix|Chaotix]]. This lack of interaction is most likely due to the fact that Omega is a "Team Dark-exclusive" character, only appearing in games and storylines that involve both [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] and [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]], whom both only have minor interactions with [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]] and friends. ===[[Guardian Units of Nations|G.U.N.]]=== Omega seems to lack any negativity towards [[G.U.N.]], and doesn't seem to want anything to do with them, such as in the game ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'', where he tells Shadow to ignore the G.U.N. robots in the [[Iron Jungle]] stage, (but this may be because he was more concerned with finding Eggman<ref>[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)]] (2005) [After [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] destroys GUN robots.] '''E-123 Omega: We are here to face <nowiki>'</nowiki>Eggman!<nowiki>'</nowiki>'''</ref> or actually cared about them being destroyed). He does however, seem to look down on human government affairs, and sees them as a nuisance,<ref>[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)]] (2005) [After [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] destroys GUN robots.] '''E-123 Omega: Do not concern yourself with them!'''</ref> if anything.

The Omega Care Unit looks a lot like Omega, except it's blue, has green eyes, has the [[Wikipedia:Peace symbols#Dove and olive branch|peace sign]] on both its shoulders instead of just the capital Omega symbol (Ω) on the front it's left, has metal circles on its wrist instead of spikes, the triangle symbols with lines on Omega's arms and flaps are replaced with circles and the care unit uses it's claws along with stunning weapons instead of destructive.<ref>[http://www.tssznews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sth193_4_sm.jpg Scan of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog #193]</ref> The Omega Care Unit was built by [[Julian Kintobor|Dr. Ivo Kintobor]] to prolong [[Anti-Bunnie Rabbot|Buns Rabbot]]'s life after she developed [[Neuro-Immuno Deficiency Syndrome]].

Some see Omega simply as a bad remake of [[E-102 Gamma]], that he is just a filler for [[Team Dark]], saying that both Gamma and his story are much more complex than Omega, although some like that because they think quite a few Sonic characters are too complex, like [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] for example. Some see him as a fun character not really needed to the plot and acts as a sort of comedy relief to the games he's in. Fans also think of Omega as not being very developed because he seems to add nothing to the series besides trying to kill Eggman endlessly.<ref>[http://www.sonicstadium.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35431 E-123 Omega - =SSMB= at the Sonic Stadium.]</ref> All in all, Omega is a character who has little fanbase, but few people view the character in a negative manner. ==Voice actors== *Video games - [[Wikipedia:Taiten Kusunoki|Taiten Kusunoki]] (Japanese)<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=18813 Taiten Kusunoki at the Anime News Network.]</ref> *''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' - [[Wikipedia:Jon St. John|Jon St. John]] (English)<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0820652/ Jon St. John at the Internet Movie Database.]</ref> *''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' - [[Wikipedia:Andrew Rannells|Andrew Rannells]] (English)<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0710330 Andrew Rannells at the Internet Movie Database.]</ref> *''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)]]'' - [[Wikipedia:Maddie Blaustein|Maddie Blaustein]] (English)<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006851/ Maddie Blaustein at the Internet Movie Database.]</ref> ==Theme songs== *''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' - "[[Wikipedia:Sonic Heroes (soundtrack)|This Machine]]", performed by [[Wikipedia:Julien-K|Julien-K]].<ref>[http://www.teamartail.com/music/heroesvocal/ Sonic Heroes Triple Threat Vocal Trax]</ref> This theme is shared with [[Sonic Heroes#Team Dark|Team Dark]]. ==Trivia== *In ''Sonic Heroes'', Omega has a purple aura around him while jumping. In ''Shadow the Hedgehog'', it is red. In ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' he has no aura, and simply jumps using his jets, without spinning. *It is possible that he is not powered by an animal like the rest of the E-Series robots, (with the exception of [[E-121 Phi]] and [[E-100 Alpha|Zero]]). As he was in standby mode for over two hundred years in ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', therefore the animal would have died by then. Although he does mention something about a back-up power source.<ref name="Trusting Omega"/> *In the Challenge Mode of ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'', Omega's eyes appear white while ordinarily they are red. *In the Xbox 360 version of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', in the scene where Shadow and Omega return from the future, if you look closely above the purple portal you can see Omega on top of it before he comes out of it.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvSXS0gm8n4 Cutscene from ''Sonic the Hedgehog'']</ref> *In ''Sonic Heroes'', using the metal character cheat in 2P mode, still affects Omega despite the fact that he is already made out of metal. *''Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood'' marks a great deal for Omega. It marks the first time he's ever been playable on a handheld Sonic game, the first time he hasn't had a voice actor in a game he's playable in, the first time he's ever been playable outside a main series game and his first appearance on the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]]. *After you win a battle with Omega in your team in ''Sonic Chronicles'', he turns his upper body around and the stripe on his torso is replaced by a thin line. *The capital Omega symbol (Ω) on Omega's shoulder keeps changing. In ''Sonic Heroes'' and ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'', the Omega symbol is on the front of his left shoulder and back of his right,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHyCLKBgJNc Cutscene from ''Sonic Heroes''.]</ref> in ''[[Sonic 06]]'' it's just on the front of his left<ref name="Omega's confession"/> and in ''Sonic Chronicles'' it's on both sides of his shoulders.<ref>[http://images2.wiki.nocookie.net/sonic/images/4/4f/Chronicles_Omega.jpg Official artwork of Omega in ''Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood''.]</ref> *Andrew Rannells also voiced [[E-Series#E-102 Gamma (γ)|Gamma]] in ''[[Sonic X]]'', though his voice of Omega was different from Gamma's higher pitched ''Sonic X'' voice and sounded remarkably like Jon St. John's, making many fans believe it was the same person. *During a battle in [[Charyb]]'s lair, the player can see air bubbles coming out of Omega even though he can't breath. *Omega's first voice actor, Jon St. John was also the voice of [[Big the Cat]] and Duke Nukem from the series of the same name. *Many people believe that Omega's stripe was originally white/grey/silver when it is actually black. This is because of how shiny the characters were in ''Sonic Heroes'' and ''Shadow the Hedgehog'', so what they were actually seeing was the shine off of Omega's stripe instead of the actual colour. This does not include ''Sonic 06'' where it actually is white/grey/silver. *E-123 Omega hasn't been in Sonic X, but he will be. ==Gallery== <gallery> Image:Omega 12.jpg|Omega's debut ''Sonic Heroes'' artwork.
