''This article is about the robot E-123 Omega who is latest in the E-100 Series. For the article about the robot E-102 Gamma who is the second in the E-100 Series and helped Amy Rose escape from the Egg Carrier, see E-102 Gamma.''

E-123 Omega, or, technically, E-123 Ω, is a robot created by Dr. Eggman. He bears a strong resemblance to another one of Eggman's robots, E-102 Gamma (a possible design inspiration), who is part of the same robotics production line. He has the capital Omega symbol (Ω) painted on the fronts of his shoulders, in contrast to all the other E-100s, which had the lowercase Greek letters (ω), possibly representing that he is the most powerful of Eggman's E-100 Series. Though Eggman may have just used the capital letter because it's far more noticeable and well known than the lowercase.

Creation
Omega was designed as the final model of Eggman's E-100 Series robots, specially made for combat situations against Eggman's toughest enemies. (StH:#2**, SU: #0*)

Abilities
Omega has a huge array of extremely destructive weapons concealed in his arms, (somewhat similar to that of Grounder), including two rapid-fire machine guns, two flamethrowers, two missile launchers and likely many more weapons. Omega can also utilize jet boosters built in his back to help accelerate and hover, making him somewhat fast.

He has also displayed considerable physical strength.

Personality
Like many of Eggman's other robots, Omega was programmed with a personality.

Dr. Eggman
Dr. Eggman is Omega's creator.

Background information


Omega's design was used for Dr. Ivo Kintobor's Omega Care Unit with minor changes. Including colouring differences, the Omega symbol being replaced by the dove and olive branch peace sign, and changing the armaments to non-lethal weaponry. Although the early prototype designs for the care unit looked more like E-102 Gamma than Omega. It was changed to his because "it seemed to lend itself better to housing a mobian, and it seemed much more apt for her [Buns'] character." According to Ian Flynn.

Buns also made references to Omega as in-game jokes. For example, while she was fighting Rosy the Rascal, 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'." An obvious reference to Omega who has a missile launcher.

The previous writers of the comic did once have Omega as a possible character to be introduced in issues following StH: #134, but the idea was scrapped for unknown reasons. It might have had something to do with the banned use of certain Sonic Heroes material made by SEGA.
