Omega Soldier thriving; completed 12th gestational stage 31 min ahead of schedule. My superior’s ideas again prove to be revolutionary… and controversial.

Colonel Grimm thought it was reckless of him to harvest genetic material from Sarge and the other members of Bravo Company to create Omega. I had my doubts a supersoldier who would possess the battle instincts and skills of those brave soldiers? And possibly have transformative abilities unlike any other man?

But these are desperate times. This war of attrition with the Tan Army must end; the cost in tears and plastic is just too high. Every few weeks, Plastro obtains a new monster toy, signs a new treaty with the Blue Army, or buys more arms from the Gray Nation…

Perhaps I was too emphatic at the Defense Council about Omega’s capabilities – and about his unpredictability. Not even his creator, Mr. X, knows what his mental state will be, especially when he is first released from his die-cast mold. He has no family, no friends, possibly even no memories. He will have awesome power, but I pity him.

And what if he cannot be trusted? I believed it was a question that had to be voiced, but I posed it all too clearly to the Army’s officers. I suspect Mr. X is in a foul mood.

Omega’s mold has been prepped for transport.

It’s not safe to move him, but Grimm assured us it’s less safe to keep him here. Oh the jeep’s waiting.

See you at the base, Omega.

The Green Army had a new weapon in its arsenal: a bioplastechnologically enhanced super troop (BEST) named Omega Soldier. A Mutant Super-soldier made of the spliced PDNA of all six members of the now defunct Bravo Company Commandos, with a 20% of Sgt. Hawk. Created in a covert laboratory by splicing PDNA from the Green Army’s Strongest and most skilled soldiers, the “Omega Soldier” was the Tan Army’s worst high-tech threat at that time.

A product of G.A.A.R.D.’s most advanced research, Omega soldier represents a new era in the Green Nation’s long struggle for peace. His bioplasticgenetic composition gives him abilities that soldiers in the Green Army do not possess, even Hawk or the extinct Bravo Company Commandos.

He was a super-warrior with a mission: take out every soldier and monstrous boss that tries to stop him from reaching the enemy military base.

The following abilities are associated with the Omega Soldier

Weapons:

Skilled in all four categories of combat weapons, Omega Soldier’s arsenal is as deadly as it is vast. Every weapon category has six levels of strength, which can be switched or upgraded by collecting weapons. Omega Soldier starts out with a level 1 Rifle. By picking up the Rifle again and again, his weapon will become upgraded automatically to a maximum sixth state, mutating and upgrading itself using the colected weapon parts. When Omega Soldier’s weapon reaches the sixth state, Omega Soldier will transform into Super Omega Soldier. Additionally, anytime he picks up a weapon type different from his current weapon type, Omega Soldier will switch to the new weapon type. An upgrade only occurs when a weapon type that is picked up is the same weapon type as Omega’s current weapon.

Rifle

The mainstay of any good soldier. Omega Soldier began with a standard Rifle. By repeatedly picking up the Rifle weapon power-up, Omega Soldier’s Rifle upgraded and became more powerful. The upgraded Rifle weapon delivers more damage and may have a higher firing rate and faster bullets. No weapon fires as many projectiles so quickly. At the higher states, the Rifle weapon is highly effective against multiple enemy units.

Grenade launcher

Grenades are explosive devices that are launched from Omega’s Grenade Launcher. They explode on contact, inflicting damage in a circular area. By repeatedly picking up the Grenade, the Grenade Launcher will become more powerful. It is highly effective against clustered enemy troopers, vehicles, and for getting to enemy units behind cover objects. With the blast explosion effect, the Grenade Launcher is a very forgiving weapon to use. At its higher weapon states, the Grenade Launcher tends to fire more slowly, but the size and power of its blast radius increases.

Bazooka

Rockets are fired out of a heavy-duty Bazooka. They mostly travel in a straight line and explode on impact. Much like the Grenades, the Rockets have a blast radius that can affect enemy units not directly hit by the Rocket itself. Though it may be a challenge to hit individual troops, the Bazooka is deadly against groups and against vehicles. The Bazooka’s firing rate tends to be a little faster than the Grenade Launcher’s, and more direct. At the higher weapon states, the Rockets may be fired more quickly, may deliver more damage, and may even have homing behavior.

Flamethrower

One of the most hazardous weapons a plastic soldier could handle, the Flamethrower spits out scorching fire that burns almost anything in its path. The variety of the Flamethrower weapon states provides Omega Soldier with many ways to melt and torch the enemy units. The Flamethrower is initially challenging due to having a shorter range than the other weapon types. However, the fire from the Flamethrower is very deadly. Any enemy unit hit by it usually ends up as a melted pool of plastic. As the Flamethrower is upgraded, the flame and fire effects may have longer ranges and a wider effective area.

Super Omega Metamorphosis

Mr. X’s gene-splicing techniques have gifted Omega Soldier with the ability to morph into Super Omega, a stronger but genetically unstable physical form that enables increased attacking power. Super Omega is taller, stronger, and more resilient against all attacks. When this status is achieved any weapon he carries is immediately upgraded to it’s maximum capacity and any weapon he changes to will also be at its maximum.

The Bio-Strike

In times of great peril, Omega Soldier has been genetically enhanced to use his living energy as a weapon. This effect dubbed a “Bio-Strike” by G.A.A.R.D. researchers, and causes the Omega Soldier to stop moving and become temporarily invulnerable to all forms of attack. A circular pulse of energy radiates from his body and quickly expands, damaging anything in its wake.

The Bio-Strike ability has four levels of power. Each time a Bio-Strike power-up is collected, the energy blast that Omega Soldier will emit becomes more powerful. The Bio-Strike can be triggered at any energy level, but will completely deplete all of Omega’s stored energy. You will need to collect more power-ups to begin building it up again.
If you collect more than four Bio-Strike power-ups, you can begin storing energy for a second Bio-Strike. You can have a maximum of two fully charged Bio-Strikes.

Power Levels:

• Level 1 – Energy Strike
• Level 2 – Expanded Energy Strike
• Level 3 – Fire Strike
• Level 4 – Nuclear Strike

Omega awakens

Omega was the primary objective of the Tan Army, the Blue Army and the Grey Army during the Green Rogue campaign. Shortly after his creation, Field Marshal Tannenburg tries to make his Tan Forces capture Omega with a plan: ambush his transport.

Some time after Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes events, when the Omega Soldier was being transferred from the GAARD science facility by helicopter to a training facility, the chopper was ambushed by the Tan.

His Huey chopper transport crash-landed killing everybody aboard except the Omega Soldier, which was protected by his steel mold.

Omega awakens in confusion after the attack without knowing who he is or what he is doing there. He gets over, takes two steps, and suddenly suffers a kind of painful attack of genetic regression (known as such in future studies), and several more later, where the traits of some of his genetic donors come to light, causing him immense pain. Despite this, he manages to keep going.

Shot down and left to die behind enemy lines, was up to him to stop the Tan army, causing a one-man rampage against Tan forces that were completely destroyed by hundreds if not thousand.

He fought through a whole Tan army, ultimately prevailing and heading back to the Green army via helicopter with Col. Grimm and Sgt. Hawk. He makes his only appearance in public on Army Men: Green Rogue events, and never seen again… Or at least, as the legend and rumors says, when the Omega soldier is deployed there is no one left alive who can testify to his existence. Therefore, if this is true, it is a one-man army working alone.

He was the first soldier of the Army Men history to wear pants and equipment that are not molded to him when he was created.

Rewards received to the date

• Cross of Glory: This Medal is awarded for defeating a high percentage of the Tan units encountered.
• Medal of Valor: This Medal is awarded for defeating a high percentage of the Gray and Blue units encountered.
• The Green Star: This Medal is awarded for completing a level without losing a life.
• Emerald Cross: This Medal is awarded for completing the entire game from start to finish without using a Continue.
• Boss: This Medal is an example of one of the five different Boss Medals that can be earned.

Years later

“Do you accept the rank of Sergeant?”

“Yes sir, until i die or you find someone better” – Omega Soldier

Years afterwards the existence of the Omega Soldier was learned in public, followed by that a second Omega soldier was created alongside him, when the first was presumed dead. Having been created with serious flaws by not allowing the Bravo Company Commandos to finish recovering, years after his creation this second Omega emerged from total secrecy, turning against the Green Army, creating a rebel faction called “Nemesis” (in the same way as this Supersoldier renamed himself). But he was killed and his group completely decimated along with him, by the Omega Soldier. Before his death, he dealt one of the most serious blows against the government of the Green nation: the leak of some classified Green Army files.

After his existence was known thanks to the great battle against Nemesis and the leak of the classified files, Omega was accepted by society and replaced Sergeant Hawk’s position, being given Hawk’s old helmet, found by Anderson during the events of Army Men: Major Malfunction. From that moment to the present, Omega is the undisputed great hero of the Green army.
