E-123 Omega

## Bio

**E-123** (Ｅ－１２３ *Ī Wan-Tsū-Surī*?), codenamed **Ω** or **Omega** (オメガ *Omega*?), is a character that appears in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. He is a robot created by Dr. Eggman as the last and most powerful of the doctor's E-100 Series line of robots. However, he was deactivated and sealed in an abandoned base to guard Shadow the Hedgehog, who was in suspended animation in a stasis capsule. Furious at having his power wasted in this way, Omega swore revenge on his creator. Rouge the Bat then accidentally reactivated Omega when trying to free Shadow and she soon convinced the two of them to join together as Team Darkto track down their mutual enemy. Although Omega failed to achieve his goal at the end of his team's adventure, he has continued to pursue his mission, occasionally coming to the aid of his allies and other heroes.

## Appearance

### Appearance

E-123 Omega's design vaguely resembles E-102 Gamma, while standing out with a sturdier upper body and arms with red eyes instead of green ones. He is also much shorter than the other models and his shoulders are much larger with a red "Ω" on the front of the left and back of the right with red handlebars on the top. Also, instead of the twin exhaust pipes and the Jet Booster of the first E-100 Series robots, Omega has one circling pipe around the waist with two flaps attached and having twin jets installed in his back below the hunch. The stripe running from his head to stomach has also been changed so that it is a separate piece of metal altogether and not simply painted on like the others and he also has one extra finger and two hands with yellow wrists studded with large spikes like a dog collar. Just below his stripe is a plate of clear material that allows others to see some of his inner workings.

Omega's design was changed in a variety of subtle ways during some adventures; His overall look seems to have thinned him out whilst making him look taller. The yellow casing for his "head" was treated much the same and also brought his eyes closer together. His shoulders almost doubled in size and look squarer with defined groovessurrounding his equally larger omega symbol. The central stripe on his chest had been changed from protruding about an inch or two from the rest of Omega's chassis to roughly five inches. The jets on his back were also pointed at a lower angle. The flaps on his sides had also been given grooves, the black arrows seen on his waist pipe and flaps had been removed, the red arrows on the front of his lower leg have been replaced with red stripes, the red section surrounding his torso got split into two pieces and he had sharper and somewhat skeletal hands.

## Personality

Omega's only goals in life are to take revenge on Dr. Eggman for wasting his potential and destroy the doctor's other robots to prove himself superior. These two goals are absolute above all else in Omega's eyes. As a result, he tends to be extremely headstrong, reckless, aggressive, and destructive - decimating anything that gets in his way. Most noticeably, before the start of Eggmans plan to take over the metaverse. he performed what was supposed to be a recon mission on Eggman's base and rather than sneaking in to get info, he stormed in guns blazing in an effort to purge the base of every robot within, despite his orders having nothing to do with extermination.

## Powers & Abilities

An elite combat robot with high fighting capabilities, Omega is the most powerful and impressive robot in Dr. Eggman's E-Series, and has even been called the world's most powerful robot.

Developed to advance weaponry, Omega's entire body is basically a full-fledged weapon, giving him a huge array of extremely destructive weapons and machines concealed in his arms which he can switch at will by reconfiguring his forearms or hands to execute a variety of attacks. These include rapid-fire rotary cannons, flamethrowers, missile launchers, fireball launchers, semi-automatic single-barreled wrist cannons for firing pellets, homing lasers, powerful miniguns,a double-barreled laser gun that extends from his forearm, drill-shaped missiles, and laser beam cannons that can fire destructive lasers across a wide area. He can likewise retract his hands into their sockets for scooping up Shadow and Rouge in balls and either use them as melee weapons or launch them as fireballs.

Omega appears to be armed with explosive rounds for his machine guns, as evidenced by the damage he caused to the base he was sealed in by only firing for a few seconds. However, certain weapons of his require the use of magazines as opposed to storing all his ammunition in bulk inside himself. While Omega appears to possess some form of targeting systems for his arsenal, he tends to be rather inaccurate however, most notably when he fired in every direction when first meeting Shadow with the expectation that some of them would hit.

Classified as a Power Type, Omega has demonstrated considerable feats of physical strength that easily rivals the likes of Knuckles, Big and Vector; during the Neo Metal Sonic incident, he was shown being capable of smashing giant boulders and metal with ease using only his fists. Being a robot, Omega is equipped with sturdy body armor too which makes him extremely durable. Notably, Omega easily survived being in Crisis Citywhile in standby mode for collectively two centuries. Omega is also equipped with jet boosters built into his back which he can utilize to help him accelerate and glide just above the ground and even move at speeds rivaling Shadow and Rouge's, as seen during their first adventure. He can also use it to increase the height of his jumps and hover through midair over long distances. In addition, despite what his bulky frame might imply, Omega is also shown to have great reflexes and acrobatic skills, enough to let him do tricks and movements while in mid-air, pull off various Spin Attack maneuvers at high speed, and grind on Grind Rails with ease.

Omega is likewise effective in hand-to-hand combat, able to perform dash punches and spinning back punches. Unlike most other robots, Omega is also able to perform the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at him targets. With it, Omega can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed. Adept in its usage, Omega can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both ground- and aerial maneuvers, including the Spin Dash, Spin Jump, and Homing Attack.

Omega appears to be waterproof as he does not short circuit when submerged in waters like in Frog Forest or Lost Jungle as seen during the Neo Metal Sonic incident. Omega also has scanners that allow him to examine both machinery and living beings based on their acquired ID. He is also equipped with some kind of built-in sensor that allows him to locate enemies, life forms and various other objects, such as switches.

As seen during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, Omega also has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in race cars like the Cross Dozer.

## Weaknesses

Omega is known to act before thinking, usually charging head-first into battle without any given strategy. He may also have a faulty or nonexistent targeting system, explaining his reliance on spread-fire weapons and explosives. This is more easily seen during the Neo Metal Sonic incident where he does not even appear to be trying to aim (at least not from an outside point of view).

Omega is also sensitive to and intolerant of areas with high humidity, though the ramifications are not specified.

## Relationships

### Shadow the Hedgehog

Omega was created for the dual purpose of supporting Shadow the Hedgehog, or to deter him from running out of control. At the start of Team Dark's story in *Sonic Heroes* , after Shadow had woken up from stasis, Omega tried to shoot him, thinking he was one of Eggman's robots. However, Rouge stopped the two and they decided to work together to fight Eggman. Shadow and Omega then became close allies, with Rouge even saying that the two are so compatible they "go together like chili and hot dogs."In fact, Shadow been known to show concern for Omega's well-being, which is quite odd for Shadow, as he usually keeps a tight lid on his emotions. It is possible that this is because they were both prisoners of Dr. Eggman (in different ways). An example of this camaraderie comes from when Rouge (mistakenly) claims that Shadow is a robot. Omega, despite his relentless goal to eliminate all of Eggman's robots, showed no interest or desire to destroy Shadow. In *Shadow the Hedgehog*, Omega once again does not attempt to stop or destroy Shadow when Eggman claimed that Shadow was an android that he created, despite Omega's hatred of other Eggman robots. In *Sonic the Hedgehog* (2006), Shadow and Rouge encountered Omega in the future in standby mode. After Rouge noted that they could not do anything for him, both of them seemed to show reluctance about leaving him in that state. Also, in *Sonic the Hedgehog* (2006), Omega showed anger at Mephiles' hinting of Omega's future betrayal towards Shadow and proceeds to attack him with heavier gunfire. Omega then showed some unhappiness while revealing that his mission in the future was to capture Shadow.

Omega and Shadow also seem to have a friendly rivalry of who is the more powerful, similar to that of Sonic and Knuckles, with Omega believing the title belongs to him. Technically, Omega is right in the fact that he has more physical power than Shadow, but which of the two is the better fighter is not confirmed. Shadow is the ultimate life form, but Omega is not a life form and refers to himself with a similar title as the ultimate robot, so it can be a toss-up. They seem to be evenly matched in their only battle when they first meet in *Sonic Heroes*, but it is revealed in *Sonic the Hedgehog* (2006) (as well as implied in *Sonic Heroes*) that Omega was made to contain Shadow from escaping Dr. Eggman's base where he was being held and actually captured Shadow in the future, so it is possible that Omega could defeat Shadow like he did in *Sonic the Hedgehog*(2006), though it is open to debate about whether he did this on his own or whether there were other factors involved, notably Shadow likely holding out on his friend. Whatever the case, Omega very much respects Shadow's abilities, stating they exceeded even his initial expectations when they first became allies.

#### Rouge the Bat

Rouge the Bat is a close ally of Omega, who is quite loyal to her. She has sometimes shown annoyance at Omega, saying that he is too serious, and she is tired of hearing him ramble on about revenge and hatred. She also dislikes it when Omega ignores her orders and acts on his own destructive tendencies.

They first meet in *Sonic Heroes* after Rouge stopped Shadow and Omega from destroying each other long enough to hear both their stories. She convinces the two of them to join forces to find Eggman since that is their united goal. While searching for the doctor, Rouge becomes fond of the robot, and they become fast friends. Omega even lets her sit on his hand during their victory poses. Rouge does show a weariness of Omega's serious and vengeful nature and having to hear him ramble about it constantly. While Rouge definitely trusts Omega, it seems she sometimes has too much faith in him. During his "infiltration mission" into Eggman's lab, Omega proceeded to go in guns blazing, despite Rouge's protests on the radio and became very worried when Omega called in reporting he had no idea where he was after encountering Infinite. And despite the robot's intimidating assortment of weaponry, she is definitely not above teasing him about his grandstanding, and while Omega seems annoyed he does not hold any grudges against her. Whatever the case, Omega very much respects Rouge's abilities, stating they exceeded even his initial expectations when they first became allies.
