E-123 Omega

E-123 Omega, or, technically, E-123 Ω, is a robot created by Dr. Eggman and is out to destroy him due to lack of respect and want for revenge. 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.

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, 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 has a free will and 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.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow is a close ally of Omega, and one of his only friends.

Rouge the Bat
Rouge is a close ally of Omega, and one of his only friends.

Dr. Eggman
Dr. Eggman is both Omega's creator and greatest enemy. Omega is constantly trying to get revenge on the doctor and will do whatever it takes to prove himself superior to Eggman's other machines.

Romance
Since he has only recently become sentient, Omega is still refining the emotions that true Mobians have. Because of this, he has not displayed any romantic feelings towards any others.

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 colouring differences. Although, the early prototype designs looked more like E-102 Gamma. It was changed to Omega's 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.

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 ban of using certain Sonic Heroes material made by SEGA.
