[@DragonTail49]

Not going to lie: the playtime sequences in this video made me so, so happy. I love seeing toys being played with and remembering all the adventures my crew got up to during my childhood. Just wonderful to watch.

[@MichaelMercy]

Same here! So many toys only get displayed, it's good to remember their original purpose was fun, adventure and creativity. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed. 🙏

[@redjacvaljes6203]

Came to say this. Wasn't expecting that. Well done.

[@FinnGreenland]

Agreed. The real reason for me to collect G1’s.

[@stevo0124]

Every episode you create has the nostalgia level of an 80's Saturday morning cartoon! Thanks for bringing my childhood back so often ☺

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you, glad to hear that. 🙏

[@trevormoffat4054]

I once saw Omega Supreme in a department store back in 1985. When I read the pricetag I knew I would never get him, but I was simply overcome with joy to actually see the character ‘in the flesh’. I never ever saw another one until now. This was a great video!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks Trevor!

[@Broasty25]

I love watching the play sequences it just makes me wanting to wish I grew up with the 1984 transformer toys. Sadly I'm a Bayverse kid but I still had fun

[@lukelandis3090]

Same, I grew up with Transformers Animated, although I did become an extreme LEGOphile pretty early on.

[@darkfishthedestroyer139]

my dad had a copy of the 1986 movie, it was the first transformer movie i watched!

[@LockyLoad]

This brought back some wonderful memories. Christmas 1986, having satisfyingly unwrapped all my presents, I realised there was one large box remaining unwrapped under the tree. I asked my mother if it was mine and with a smile she confirmed that it was indeed mine. I’ll never forget the combination of shock and joy I felt when unwrapping that last remaining present revealed it was THE Omega Supreme, the biggest and most powerful Autobot of all. I’ll never forget the happy smile on my mother’s face when she saw my jaw dropping reaction, nor the reactions from my friends when I showed off my kick ass new toy. 80s sure were a great time to be a kid, and these videos are like a time machine to happy times.

[@MichaelMercy]

Awesome memory. Thanks for sharing. :D

[@kenibrooks3969]

Your mom is the coolest for that!

[@Titanbrotha00]

I finally got my hands on G1 Omega Supreme online this earlier this year. I've always wanted him as a kid. I'm overjoyed & just thrilled to finally have him! He's not as complicated to transform once you get the hang of it.

[@2007suprasport]

Dang! That was Blitzwing? I must of watch the cartoon a million times as a kid and didn't even realize that the tank he stepped on was Blitzwing. Omega is a Beast!

[@laval1016]

R.I.P Blitzwing, he was a cool looking tank

[@aSlipperyDuck]

I think that was just an extra in the intro, IDK if that was his actual death

[@samsarex4318]

@@laval1016 he had to get crushed because omega had a vision that Blitzwing would become a starscream wannabe

[@j-pastel-yellow]

I didn't grow up watching the original Transformers (I was born two decades too late) but the play scenes in this reminds me of when I'd torment my older sister with my Beast Wars figures while she was playing with her dolls. Good times were always had when someone had a Transformer in their hands.

[@hawksilverdragon]

This channel is so awesome, its like you have recreated a childhood dream for us, one that many could not possibly have created because we were just kids waiting for birthdays and holidays for presents. Thank you Michael.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! 😁

[@gutz1981]

One of my favourite toys and characters of all time. I bought him like nearly ten years ago when I found the reissue. I found him to be representative of "The Tragic Giant" Strong exterior with a broken heart and a damaged mental state who would always fight the good fight. He was best summed up in the episode where he hunted down the Constructicons. "What if we all just split up?" "Then he'd hunt us down one at a time." "Then I say we unite." I always related most to this character who preferred to be alone until needed and who few really understood. Glad to see he survived The Movie, yet disappointed he was not used more in the cartoon. You're as good as they come Omega.

[@jasonvoorheesthethird]

Omega Supreme and Star Scream always been my all time favorite Transformers....i always dreamed of getting that amazing Omega Supreme figure as a kid, but sadly i never got him! :( At least i got Star Scream, and he was so amazing, i loved him so much..i still remember the exact moment when my mom bought it..it was an incredible day for me!! I am still looking for a vintage Omega Supreme, its one of my “holy grail” toy that i have to get one day, its never too late to get one of our dream toy i guess! :)

[@MichaelMercy]

Hopefully he'll get a Walmart reissue soon. He and Sky Lynx were reissued in the Encore line so it's possible.

[@starscreamdias]

@@MichaelMercy Save your money! Hasbro is preparing to launch an updated Titan class version in 2019 and you can bet it will scale well with your figs. Great vid Michael!

[@TheAngryman20]

WOW!!! they are my favorites too!!

[@cflo1386]

I want to encapsulate my childhood in the matrix and live there forever.

[@gtadk1237]

When you made the Decepticons skit i was like where they running to the other side the room lol but I awesome video man

[@MichaelMercy]

Haha, they can't reach the door handle. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. 🙏

[@rjc7289]

Didn't have this figure as a kid, but later acquired him complete with the original box as a collector a couple of years ago. I remember going to a vintage toy store on x-mas eve 2016, seeing him on the shelf, and walking out with him a few minutes later. I was stoked to say the least -- an awesome x-mas present to myself!

[@thequestion8697]

This video made me really happy. Reminded me of playing transformers with my friends. We would all bring our own. It was awesome.

[@GamerMan359]

I love that little skit with Omega taking out the Decepticons, you really pulled off the illusion that these little guys live in their own world.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@ANIMUS97]

Your mastery of telling a story with figures and sound clips from the show has gotten mighty indeed! Great stuff. Thanks!

[@daquan99999]

I have one when I was a child. I miss it so much. I don't know where it is now. I was too young and no one has shown me how to keep well of my toys. I can only remember some fun time with it but this video brings more memory back. Thank you!

[@bsnhbksan]

LOVED the Blitzwing stomp and Scrapper clean up :)

[@ia5662]

Amazing production value to this Michael! I'm really a Star Wars and Ghostbusters fan at heart, but always did like Transformers when I was a kid. My mom thought they were more violent so she didn't let me watch the cartoon as much, but I definitely was able to sneak episodes. Catching up on all the gigantic playset-type Transformers in my adulthood has been wild. I can't believe I didn't know these things existed! You do such a great job of showing off the features and actually imaginatively playing with them just like any kid. Excellent work, this was as much a history lesson for me as it was a review.

[@Nosgoth73ad]

This was so awesome! My nextdoor neighbor had Omega Supreme. I had mostly Decepticons. Man, I miss the 80's!

[@bryantpino7993]

My favorite Transformer as a kid. Thanks for the memories.

[@ahobimo732]

I love how you still have the true spirit of play in your heart. A lot of collectors seem forget that what made these toys so great in the first place was that they allowed us to experience the joy of imagination. A toy that's never played with is like a sports car that's never driven - a tragic waste of potential. Half the fun of these videos for me is watching you enjoy these wonderful works of art in precisely the way they were meant to be used.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos. Take care.

[@Lamone-nw9tw]

I’m crying because of how wholesome these videos are🥺

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you, glad you've enjoyed them. God bless you. 🙏

[@cronocomics]

I remember to have seen this toy MIB when I was a kid and I thought how amazing it was even for me a non Transformers fan. Omega Supreme was a groundbreaking transformer in many senses, thanks for the great review.

[@thirdeyewide562]

Missing the 80s!!!

[@ShaFnZAM]

Michael, this reeked of awesomeness. As someone who had Omega as a kid, and still to this very day has that very same bot in his collection, thank you for this. Beyond entertaining, this video brought me back to the mid 1980's and a smile to my face. "Victory.....achieved."

[@MichaelMercy]

Gratitude: achieved. Thank you! :D

[@Bokobling]

I’m a kid of today, and I am growing up using my generations metroplex and siege omega supreme as my auto bot head quarters. Very cool

[@SawyerTheDetailKing]

You are the one who made me make a channel you are amazing thank you

[@mczilla8628]

That was awesome!!!!!!! I just used the space bridge back to the 80s!!! Good times Good times! Thanks Michael

[@jeru_jj1161]

It's quite mindblowing to see toys literally as old as me.

[@aldeshsa]

Another top notch entry into the retro toy review stratosphere. The time, effort and passion devoted to these episodes is well appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! Much appreciated. 🙏

[@TheDabberSupreme]

Thanks for this great video, as all of yours are. We watched this in preparation for our Siege Omega Supreme video.

[@fallawaymovie6543]

Your videos are really well done. I love how passionate you are about these great vintage toys. It really comes out in your videos. Thanks so much for making them, and thank you for sharing!

[@timsmith573]

Dude! Omega Supreme!!! You are Officially my new favorite KZbin channel👍💥💥💪

[@greenusprime438]

Omega, revenge will not help you with The Construticons. Revenge will have a consequence. Violence will not help you! Loved the Omega vs. Devastator Battle!

[@tmntmania]

I love when you do videos like this cause it gives me a history of the transformers I didn't know I may try and make a TMNT video like this

[@wn8022]

I had one ! When I was ten. God I miss that awesome toy. 😢

[@RedSiegfried]

Got the original Omega Supreme from when I was a kid and I took him apart and put him back together so many times. I don't mean transformed, I mean completely disassembled the tank to the point where I had to resolder the motor back in. And amazingly, he still works! Love Omega and love the backstory they gave him in the cartoon! Thanks for the great memories, Michael. My wife and I love your channel! Definitely put a smile on my face!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks, glad to hear it. 🙏

[@agnethaladuff8559]

This is a very cool video of Transformers G1 Omega Supreme, that was one cool toy to look at as a toy and very fun to watch in the Transformers G1 animated series.

[@teermusk]

I was so happy when I got this bad boy for Xmas dam the memories

[@subtopewdiepie417]

Thanks for reviewing this I really love this figure

[@NateZilla04]

I love watching these on a Saturday morning

😁

[@ExplorHits]

Excellent vid, I love it so much! Your amazing collection is everything I dreamed of as an 80s kid!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! 🙏

[@shenjason5194]

How elaborately it is filmed! The dubbing in the cartoon is used, the special effects such as laser is added to the reality, and the toys are manipulated to play a role in the video. I'm quite fascinated by your creativity!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thans Shen! That's what toys are made for! :D

[@wheeljack0]

As far as i know they never sold Omega Supreme in the U.K. in the 80's but strangley enough i picked up an original japanese one from Toys R Us back then & still have him today.

[@othaishmael500]

Man. That was so killer!! You did a very good job on this. Think you!!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you! 🙏

[@ESO_PRIME]

Awe some!! I still have him displayed! Got him in 85! I never knew there were add ons!!! Thank you! Great video!!! TIL ALL ARE ONE!

[@wiseguy3675]

Loved my Omega Supreme figure! I wish I could go back and see my face when I unwrapped him on Christmas morning!

[@salfordnurse]

Did you know Omega supreme, wasn't technically released in the UK. But a company called Grandstand, commonly known for their hand held video games, licensed it from Toybox and released him in his original red and black colour scheme

[@chrishopkins209]

salfordnurse I remember the grandstand version! It was in my mum’s Kays catalogue

[@rlee431]

Hi Michael. I just want to thank you for the awesome energy you give off. I really like the pace at which you conduct your reviews. It really helps me to slow down and enjoy the moment. Hopefully, I can give back some of the positive energy.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you, so nice of you to say. 🙏

[@dewaynemorgan4997]

There was a licensed Autobot base. I had it. It was cardboard. I was playing with it, my transformers (and some G.I. Joe's) watching the Challenger's last launch...

[@maikel3572]

Amazing production value. Loved every second!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@mikeyfourbarrel8473]

That was amazing!! I loved every minute of that review...well done, sir. Your editing and special effects are wonderful! So Omega is one Transformer I never had as a kid and even as a grown up nerd, I feel like I’ve been overlooking this gorgeous and incredibly fun figure. I learned a lot today! The Crazy Devy parts looked interesting on Devastator too! I’ll have to look those up. Ok...my wallet is starting to smolder all of a sudden. 😫

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks Mike! Despite his speech pattern, I thought Omega some of the most personality for a Transformers giant. Most of them were just lumbering and simple-minded.

[@The_guy25]

What a fun episode

[@giannistoysdios7152]

Amazing video!!! I can only imagine how much work is hidden behind it! Thanks for sharing.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! I think it's safe to say it's an Omega-sized amount. :D

[@jsttv]

Excellent video as always. I just wished they included Omega Supreme in the 1986 movie, so he can get his revenge on Devastator. While the Dinobots take care of the other Decepticons. Lastly, Optimus Prime takes care of Megatron.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you. That would have been great.

[@jerryperry1788]

This is the best review so far I’m enjoying this very much

[@jamesstiffel7971]

Incredible video. I really loved it. Thanks for the hard work and dedication

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks James!

[@lhellhammer]

To this day the one figure I have always wanted was the G1 Jetfire. My parents had a habit of getting me the villains since they had no idea who the characters were. One day...maybe one day.

[@slycooze150]

Wow, one of your best videos! Loved the Decepticon attack and battle.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you! 🙏

[@fer1f1tz]

[@tommieboi707]

I cannot wait for siege titan class omega supreme. I have him on pre order already. My holy grail.

[@75KUAKKU]

Thanks for the memories.

[@batangbatugan]

You gotta give it to the toy engineering on Omega, even after all these years his motors still work really well. Seeing him roll around his trrack brings me so back so much find memories. I never owned him as Transformers were pretty much out of our family's budget, but just seeing him displayed in base mode in the mall was so much fun.

[@wrp4955]

Awesome video. Sound effects and animation on point as always.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks Wes! :D

[@tomasprime4654]

Amazing collection. Really well put together and thanks for sharing. Brings back great memories of the best time.

Thanks! 🙏

[@GayGIJoefan1976]

Wow the talent and experience it took to make this video!

[@terryfredrick5149]

I had Omega when i was a kid. It was only a parcial set of him i got it handed down to me. Wish i would have held on to him as some of the parts would have been worth good money now days.

[@travislogerwell2675]

I wish I had one of those things during my childhood!

[@pakv4670]

Always wanted Omega when I was a kid

[@nomvuyotshuma6083]

So many toys are scaled good on shelves in homes

[@mallgaier]

Omega was my favorite as a kid!!! But with all that going on how can Shipwreck just keep playing Pac-Man

[@MichaelMercy]

He was working on a new high score and there's no pause on those old machines. D

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you kindly. 🙏

[@primus699]

You make some amazing videos always takes me back to the 80's I can't believe how much I love the transformers

[@eightbit1975]

GREAT review. This was an unexpected birthday gift for me back in 1985. I knew it "felt different" than the other Transformers in the line, but I didn't find out until years later that it was a toy design from another manufacturer. Nonetheless, it was (and still is) an excellent design. I mean, you get a tank, a trainset, a rocket, and a robot...all in one cool package. And, a character with a cool story in the cartoon. I no longer have my original unfortunately, but I was able to pick up the Takara reissue and I am more than happy to have a new one in my collection. They don't make toys like this anymore that is for sure...but they should!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! I I feel the same way. Most playsets don't have that much play value but Omega had everything and more! :D

[@scotman74mc]

Oh I'm subbing this channel! Working the cartoon clips into the conversation is slaying me, really funny stuff!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. 🙏

[@aldrey4739]

One of the best toys that I had and it was awesome! Definitely top 5 transformers characters/toys on my personal list. Thank you for the review and video Michael.

[@mijalibarbagallo4124]

Dude, best review ever. Great job

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@lanoche]

I actually found a complete(parts wise but was missing the manuals) Mint In Box Original 1985 Omega Supremefrom a thrift store a few months ago for $15. Seriously, $15 and nobody bought it so I bought it and now; I finally own one of my favorite G1 Transformers growing up. You might ask why I don't even have the reissue and the answer was simple, I couldn't personally invest myself into buying it since I'm not a straight up G1 collector. I do have a few G1 and Japanese G1 but I don't really go out of my way to buy them. So every time I had money for it, I had to weigh getting a $300 original in box, the $250 Reissue, buy a couple of smaller stuff, buy a masterpiece, and buy a 3p MP. I always go for the latter. I thought it was a KO at first but it did have the "Japan" word stamped on every part and the main body has the "Toy Box made in Japan" logo at the bottom.

[@ValkyrieMagnus]

2nd time watching this video and it still feel great a nostalgic to watch it. Thanks for posting these videos.

[@hankmessaros1835]

Thank you this by far my fav bot , I still have him in box with the later release of the other different looking one

[@Theofficaldreadbotgamer]

I love how during the middle of the review the constructicons just straight up bombs the review that really surprised me tbh-

[@mikesmith2718]

Great review can’t wait to get an omega of my own I can’t say how important these reviews are I got into bravestarr because of your fort kerium review and had to get one for my collection thank you so much brother
