Default Re: Leader type: Whats an \"Omnicron\" ?

Omnicron is the name of the leader of the evil Transformers. Maybe someone has just taken it for a 'title' instead of a name? It sounds like a mistake that someone just hunting around for titles might make.

It might also be a mispelling of Omicron, which is the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet. But I don't know why anyone would think that was a title for a leader, so the first idea seems the most likely.

I suppose any of these explanations is possible, but I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about this one...

I dont know about any of the new Transformers but in the old show the villian was Megatron. I always thought that an Omnicron was an omni-present, all seeing entity. Can't find an actual definition of one so I guess it is made up.

I think Omnicron was the giant planet robot in the Transformers movie. voiced by Orson Wells I believe.

Edit: however IMDB says that was Unicron.
