''This article is about the robot E-123 Omega who is the latest and final in the E-100 Series sent to destroy E-102 Gamma. 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 is a robot created by Dr. Eggman. He is part of the E-100 Series and bears a stricting resemblance to E-102 Gamma. He was first dispatched by Dr. Eggman in 3237 to hunt down and destroy the rogue Gamma, but met resistance in the form of the GUN agent Shadow the Hedgehog.

Creation
Omega was designed as the latest and final model of Eggman's E-100 Series robots, specifically made for combat situations against Eggman's toughest enemies such as the Knothole Freedom Fighters. (SU: #3)

Battle of the 'bots
Eggman gave Omega his first mission of hunting down E-102 Gamma and destroying him. But Shadow the Hedgehog was also searching for Gamma by oder of GUN in the remote mountains to offer Gamma asylum. The three cross paths and a battle soon ensues. (SU: #3)

Abilities
Omega has a huge array of extremely destructive and over-powered weapons concealed in his arms, (somewhat similar to that of Grounder), including two rapid-fire machine guns, two flamethrowers, two missile launchers, two powerful energy cannons and likely many more weapons. He is equipped with remarkably strong armour that can withstand powerful blows by some of the strongest (known) Mobians alive. 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, capable of destroying titanium robots, (such as Egg Pawns), with his metal fists and has very sharp digits that can tear through metal. He also has some kind of built in sensor that allows him to locate robots, life forms and other various objects.

Personality
Like many of Eggman's other robots, Omega was programmed with a personality. He thinks other Eggman robots are inferior to him, that he is the most powerful and will jump at any chance to prove so.

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. Omega is also fairly loyal and dependable when you're on his good side, which is a bit of a holdover from his original purpose as a servant.

Stereotypical of most robots, Omega tends to use somewhat lengthy words instead of casual speech used by living beings. An example of this is when he uses "negative" or "affirmative" instead of simply saying yes or no.

Background information
Unlike his game counterpart, Omega was mistakenly given two capital Omega symbols (Ω) on the fronts of his shoulders instead of one, although there were four on both sides in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood and the symbols appear to keep changing from game-to-game.



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, who is the user of the care unit, 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.

Omega and Shadow could be considered relatives since Shadow was created by Eggman's grandfather Gerald, and Omega was created by Eggman himself.

Omega has the capital Omega symbol (Ω) painted on the front(s) of his shoulder(s), in contrast to all the other E-100s, which had various lowercase Greek letters, 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 (ω).
