Cybertronian Physique:
like his fellow Autobots, Omega Prime is a robotic entity of Cybertronian design and origin. As such, this supreme warrior has, by his very nature, the use of a large variety of abilities that reflect this. His very body gives Omega Prime these super human powers:

* Body Armor: like most Cybertronians, Omega Prime is formed with a reinforced steel frame, one that offers him +3 resistance to injury. This makes him immune to most basic human attack forms, and moderately resistant to his fellow robots (taking his Strength into consideration).

* Enhanced Senses / Microscopic + Telescopic Vision: all Transformers can alter their visual sensitivity as is necessary, where distance is concerned. Functioning at intensity 2, these powers let them see objects up to a mile distant with ease, as well as allowing them to read items on microfiche.

* Invulnerability to Disease and Toxins: like all robots, Omega Prime is highly resistant to diseases and poisons that would kill organic beings. He possesses complete immunity to organic pathogens, and a 'mere' +10 resistance to other, more chemically creative substances.

* Radio Transceiver: as are most all Transformers on earth, Omega Prime is equipped with an audio / video transmission system. This communications rig allows him instant contact with any other Autobot on earth, having intensity 10 power (25,000 mile range).

* Size Alteration: most Cybertronians have some degree of control over their size, no matter what form they take. Due to his significant height, Omega Prime has this power via technicality; after all, the merged form of Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus is about twenty-five feet tall, give or take.

As such, he's got this power at intensity 10, though it is bound by the Growth Only and Permanent limitations; in other words, he's always twenty-five feet tall. However, the requisite Strength and Agility changes are not applied to the statistics listed above.

This since his foes often vary in size considerably; Predacons and Decepticons aren't all die-cast from the same mold. For simplicity's sake, one could just apply those alterations and call it a day, or he may go for accuracy and vary them based on the size of his current opponent; whichever works for your game.

Flight: sharing components of both Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, Omega Prime can utilize Magnus' rocket boosters whenever he finds the need. This jet pack / flight wing combo allows him to achieve intensity 10 flight - approximately Mach 1 - while careening through the air in battle.

Omega Arsenal Blast: when all else fails, Omega Prime can unleash all of his weaponry in one fell swoop, firing attacks from eight different locations on his body (laser, gatling laser, gyro pads, hands, and even his feet). This amounts to an intensity 26 energy assault, and can deal with whole groups of enemies!

Omega Laser / Gatling Laser: enhanced bits of Ultra Magnus' anatomy, these two upgraded weapons from his blue bolts can be fired to inflict +3 damage by Omega Prime, though this damage is raised to +4 if both are fired in conjunction - which can be exceedingly destructive.

Equipment:

Matrix Blade:
when super-charged by Fortress Maximus' power, Omega Prime was able to channel an unbelievable amount of energy into the Matrix, which allowed him to call forth the mighty Matrix Blade. This large (50' long) blade is an energy construct of material strength 28.

Of course, it's also incredibly heavy and unwieldy, and requires a Strength of at least 20 to wield. However, it can be used in Omega Prime's hands to inflict his Strength +6 in physical damage, and was in fact the instrument with which the Autobots finally defeated the evil Galvatron!

the Matrix: being the combination of the Autobots' two bearers of the Matrix, Omega Prime can likely access its power as he sees fit - after all, he used it to craft his Matrix Blade. Of course, he's not usually around long enough to contemplate more extensive uses of the Matrix's immense power.

However, should he have a need, he can surely use it in a fashion similar to that perpetrated by his two component Autobots in the past, and possibly more. In fact, he may very well be the only incarnation of Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus that can use the Matrix as has been done in the past.

See Optimus Prime's entry for more on the Matrix and its powers.

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

Aerial Combat:
while he is quite the scrapper on the ground, Omega Prime seems to excel while fighting enemies in the air - or attacking those on the ground while he's airborne. Whenever he's engaged in combat while in the air, Omega Prime attempts all combat actions at a reduced difficulty level.

Boxing: whenever he's not bothering to blast an opponent into smithereens, Omega Prime can pummel him with the best of 'em (say, with his patented 'Omega Fist of Steel'). He can divide his pre-cardplay action score between two attacks, the last of which will occur as a contingent action.

Leadership: more than anything else, Omega Prime is a leader renowned throughout the cosmos - he's pooling the sum of his component Autobots' leadership ability, after all. A world-class leader, Omega Prime's direction adds a +1 to the action score of anybody following a plan he has concocted...

Marksmanship: whether he's using standard, chemical-propellant slug throwers or more advanced energy-casters, Omega Prime is highly skilled in the use of high-impact firearms. As such, he can make attacks with any gun at one difficulty level lower than is normally necessary.

Military: in addition to his leadership skills, Omega Prime is also a competent soldier with thousands upon thousands of years of combat experience under his belt. He is a master of battle tactics, and can usually outwit most any foe with a good plan given enough time to conjure one up.

Swords: while he rarely (possibly never) utilized one in the past, Omega Prime showed quite an impressive amount of skill while wielding his massive Matrix Blade - despite its gigantic size. As such, he should receive a one level difficulty reduction when attempting any sword strikes.

Calling:

Protector:
a perfect combination of the Sparks of the two Autobots that comprise his existence, Omega Prime has none of his components' faults - save for a deep compassion for all life, regardless of its origin. Omega Prime will go to any length necessary to protect innocents from the evils of the cosmos.

Likeness:

The sum of both Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus' parts, Omega Prime is a truly mighty spectacle to behold. Colored in the red, white and blue colors of his component Autobots, this veritable engineering work of art is also decked out with chrome and gold trim throughout his massive frame.

Personality:

A perfect combination of his two component Autobots, Omega Prime is wholly dedicated to the protection of innocents, especially those that have been endangered due to the Autobot / Predacon conflict on earth. A selfless hero, wields his unstoppable power with nothing but goodness in his heart.

Story:

As is the case with the results of most other Transformer gestalts, Omega Prime leads a transient existence, only being operable when his two component Autobots, Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, merge their bodies and minds together. And naturally, the two aren't on the greatest of terms.

The first time Omega Prime appeared, it was as the result of a gambit Ultra Magnus used to seize Optimus Prime's power - and the Matrix itself. However, he quickly found out that the power of Omega Prime was only available when the two brothers were working together in concert.

Once Optimus managed to illustrate this point to his brother, Omega Prime roared into battle, as the Decepticons were trying to kill Optimus at the time, and were wholly unprepared for this new threat to their evil schemes. After they'd been driven off, Omega Prime reverted to his component bits.

After this initial merger, Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus merged on several additional occasions, mostly when the threat the Decepticons and Predacons posed grew too great for each Autobot to handle on his own. Over time, this continual merging seems to have healed the rift between the two brothers somewhat.

Not completely, of course, but this slight reconciliation between the two allowed Omega Prime to become even more effective when the two combined, which may have made the difference between victory and defeat in the Autobots' final battle with Galvatron - an immensely upgraded version of Megatron himself.

Overwhelmed by this villain when he leeched Fortress Maximus' power with his vampiric abilities, Omega Prime attempted to sacrifice himself to seal Galvatron in the earth's core forever, but this turned out to be unnecessary; Omega was saved by an influx of power from a recovered Fort Max, you see.

Using this power, Omega Prime crafted his mighty Matrix Blade, and used it to bludgeon Galvatron senseless, even breaking that villain's own mega sword in the process. Once he'd defeated Galvatron, Omega Prime seized him and imprisoned him within the confines of Fortress Maximus himself.

With Galvatron beaten, though, and his minions in a complete rout, Omega Prime found that he was no longer needed. As such, he again reverted into his component Autobots, who split up for a time; Optimus to make sure the earth was okay without the Autobots, and Magnus to take the Autobots' prisoners away.

The two brothers ultimately returned to Cybertron, however, and it seems that they may not need the power of Omega Prime any longer; of course, this remains to be seen. Should a mighty threat to freedom rear its ugly head anew, though, the power of Omega Prime may very well return to the world...!
