''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 one hundred and twenty third and final model of Eggman's E-100 Series robots, specifically made for combat against Eggman's greatest enemy, Sonic the Hedgehog. (SU: #3, #4)

Eggman's Weapon
Eggman gave Omega his first mission of hunting down E-102 Gamma and destroying him. But Shadow the Hedgehog was also searching for Gamma in the remote mountains to offer Gamma asylum. (SU: #3)

Personality
Omega's relationship with Shadow and Rouge is an unusual one, as he merely relates to Shadow as he is "also a weapon of incredible power meant to protect the delicate and flammable things of this world." He relates to Rouge in that she is "highly resourceful." It's a different situation with Hope Kintobor, as she is very nice to Omega and he finds it easy to "have meaningful verbal discourse with her."

Omega is a rather eradication loving character and believes that "all forms of destruction are delightful."

His favourite/prefered weapon is his flamethrower. 

Romance
Omega showed distinct interest in NICOLE after she showed equally destructive capabilites to his own, and even asked her if she would "PRODUCE THE CODING FOR" his "DESTRUCTIVE MINIATURE REPRODUCTIONS?" To which she simply replied "You're not my type."

Background information
The previous writers of the comic did once have Omega as a possible character to be introduced in the issues following StH: #134, but the idea was scrapped for unknown reasons. Current writer, Ian Flynn, also planned on using Omega in StH: #175, but SEGA asked that they not use him on both occasions. 

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).

Other uses in the comic


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.
