- Omega Lock
The Omega Lock (called the Chip Square in "Galaxy Force") is a device in the "" cartoon series that, along with the Cyber Planet Keys, is needed to stop the
black hole which threatens to consumeCybertron and the entire universe.The Omega Lock was part of the space bridge project, an attempt made in ancient times to connect all worlds inhabited by Transformers. It was located aboard the starship that sought to establish a colony on
Earth . This starship floated in the air, but eventually crashed and sank into the ocean, becoming the source for the human legend ofAtlantis . Contact between the Earth colony -- as well as those onVelocitron ,Jungle Planet andGiant Planet -- and Cybertron was lost many thousands of years ago. The Omega Lock also contains a map to the remaining Cyber Planet Keys.The Omega Lock emits a sound, referred to as a "trans-sonic signal," called the Omega Frequency which humans can hear but Transformers cannot. (This fact is only present in "Cybertron" and is not present in the original Japanese dialogue of "Galaxy Force".)
When Vector Prime saw the
Atlantis Pattern on a t-shirt worn by Lori, he realized that the Atlantis starship, and with it the Omega Lock, might be located on Earth.In "Retreat", Starscream managed to steal the Omega Lock and the three Cyber Planet Keys so he could become a giant possibly the size of a Giant Planet transformer. He lost the Omega Lock to Sonic Wing Mode Optimus who placed in the center of Cybertron which was revealed to be the transformer god Primus.
The Omega lock is also used to control the Black Hole.
