- Omega Supreme is an Autobot in the Animated continuity family.
Proportions: cartoony.
The ship crewed by Optimus Prime's space bridge repair team is a former Autobot warship with a long history of service in the Great War. Though only Ratchet seems to know the whole story, he tends to be quite tight-lipped about it, referring obliquely to the quite potent decommissioned weapons system onboard, codenamed Omega.
The last line of defense for the Autobots, Omega Supreme was literally built for heroic sacrifice. Grimly aware of the heavy combat toll his friends must have suffered for him to even be activated in the first place, Omega Supreme does not hesitate to unleash his colossal firepower and risk his own life and safety on their behalf.

"Mr. Prowl, engage!"
While piloting the ship on a standard space bridge repair mission in a remote sector of Autobot-controlled space, Optimus Prime and his crew discovered the lost, legendary AllSpark. Almost immediately, they were located by the Decepticon warship Nemesis. The Decepticons' leader, Megatron, assaulted the Autobots' ship directly, attempting to melt through its hull, but he was sabotaged with a bomb by his lieutenant, Starscream. After the bomb went off, the ship went careening through an asteroid field almost totally out of control. From within the ship's hold, the AllSpark activated a nearby space bridge portal, which exploded after the ship plunged through it. The ship emerged out of warp in low orbit over the planet Earth, with all hands still on board—along with Megatron. Once Prime managed to force Megatron out through the docking tube, he piloted the ship through its last stages of reentry, steering it clear of a populated area while the rest of the crew got into their emergency stasis pods. Once the ship was past the city and over water, Prime too got into a stasis pod, and the ship crashed into Lake Erie. Fifty years later, an invading glob of nanites penetrated a crack in the hull, activating the ship's intruder alarm system, which wakened the crew. In the aftermath of investigating the glob and helping the natives it was threatening, the Autobots set up a base in an abandoned car factory in downtown Detroit. Their ship remained on the bottom of Lake Erie, should they need it. Transform and Roll Out!

When Decepticons tracking the AllSpark's energy signature became a problem, Optimus Prime ordered the Autobots to repair their ship so that it could be moved away from Earth. Ratchet revealed to Sari that prior to being pressed into repair service, the vessel used to be a military ship. Utilizing Sari's key, he was able to bring the decommissioned weapons systems back online to defeat the Decepticons that were attacking. Lost and Found

Ultimately, Ratchet was forced to take the vessel airborne, first to evade the Decepticons, and subsequently to try to transport the AllSpark offworld. Both of these attempts failed, resulting in the ship ultimately crashing into the caldera of the dormant volcano on Dinobot Island. Megatron Rising - Part 2
Trivia
- Throughout most of the cartoon this ship never had a proper name. At BotCon 2007, the Hasbro representatives repeatedly named this ship the Ark. At BotCon 2008, lead writer Marty Isenberg claimed the ship is not the Ark, but merely a repair vessel. However, lead artist Derrick Wyatt immediately responded that it very much is the Ark (a conversation that some fan sites failed to report correctly). The model sheet for the ship even labels it the Ark. The IDW comic treated both the ship and its semi-sentient onboard computer system as a single entity, Teletran-1.
- This of course isn't the first Autobot ship to end up embedded in the craggy face of a dormant volcano.
- Omega Supreme's off-line status does bear some scrutiny. He bravely sacrificed himself in the Great War, apparently being a key part of the Autobot victory. And rather than being honorably lain to rest, his remains were re-tasked for space bridge repair. So the Autobots were flying around in...the corpse of one of Cybertron's greatest heroes. Is that a tad bit ghoulish? Maybe, maybe not. Cyberton has different societal norms when it comes to remains, though recycling the dead has traditionally been more of a Predacon virtue.
- As with most of the characters in the show, Omega Supreme has many details similar to his G1 counterpart, specifically his clear orange facemask, his three-fingered right hand and his massive left-hand blaster.
