Lets describe the scene.
Its my opponents turn. He shoots and kills my Mini-con. It comes up white, so use the attackback power to move Omega Supreme, even though this doesn't quite put him in attacking range.
Its now my turn. I move Omega again and destroy gold-based Optimus Prime by throwing it across the room.
During my opponent's next turn, he takes four shots at my Omega Supreme with his Omega Sentinel at fairly close range and doesn't get a hit. He then tries to take out a knee with Robot Megatron and fails again.
During my next turn I move Omega Supreme close up to Omega Sentinel. Omega Sentinel is right in the path of Omega Supreme's claw, and robot Skyblast is just to the right of the claw. A Decepticlone stands behind and to the right of Omega Supreme. I swing the claw hard, throwing Omega Sentinel flying off the table about four feet. As expected, the claw catches enough of robot Skyblasts spear to knock it over, and since I swung its arm hard enough to make it go 360 degrees, it knocks over the Decepticlone on its way back to the starting position.
I've been told its a major strategy to have figures with their bases stacked together for support. Omega Supreme just ruins this strategy, as you can take out the entire formation with one swipe.

Omega supreme is awesome! I've heard people say that the claw makes him unbalanced, but you've convinced me that he might be worth getting. oh, and about the formation thing... It's not just omega supreme that can rain on the formation's parade. any melee attack-based attacktix (reffered to as strikers) can take down most of a formation in a single swipe. so the formations can win the day if your opponent has nothing but shooters, but if they have a striker like omega supreme, battle ravage, or scourge, it's not a very good idea to keep your attacktix tightly packed.

Its Omega Sentinel that's unbalanced. The gun arm with four missles is very heavy, and the figure doesn't really have a good center of balance.
Omega Supreme's arm is fairly light, and even rests on the ground a bit. In fact, my Omega Supreme does not fall over at all. Hit both knee targets and he just leans back and DOES NOT FALL OVER. It just doesn't happen. In fact, when he leans back with both knees shot, his claw arm rests on the ground and supports the figure.
