Editing E-123 Omega (section)

==Appearance==
E-123 Omega's design vaguely resembles [[E-102 Gamma]], while standing out with a sturdier upper body<ref name="Sonic Channel" /> and arms with red eyes instead of green ones. He is also much shorter than the other models and his shoulders are much larger with a red "Ω" on the front of the left and back of the right with red handlebars on the top. Also, instead of the twin exhaust pipes and the [[Jet Booster]] of the first E-100 Series robots, Omega has one circling pipe around the waist with two flaps attached and having twin jets installed in his back below the hunch. The stripe running from his head to stomach has also been changed so that it is a separate piece of metal altogether and not simply painted on like the others and he also has one extra finger and two hands with yellow wrists studded with large spikes like a dog collar. Just below his stripe is a plate of clear material that allows others to see some of his inner workings.

Omega's design was changed in a variety of subtle ways during the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)|Solaris incident]]; His overall look seems to have thinned him out whilst making him look taller. The yellow casing for his "head" was treated much the same and also brought his eyes closer together. His shoulders almost doubled in size and look squarer with defined [[Wikipedia:Groove (joinery)|grooves]] surrounding his equally larger omega symbol. The central stripe on his chest had been changed from protruding about an inch or two from the rest of Omega's chassis to roughly five inches. The jets on his back were also pointed at a lower angle. The flaps on his sides had also been given grooves, the black arrows seen on his waist pipe and flaps had been removed, the red arrows on the front of his lower leg have been replaced with red stripes, the red section surrounding his torso got split into two pieces and he had sharper and somewhat skeletal hands.

Minor changes were made to his visual appearance in ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'' such as a smaller casing for his "head," flat shoulders with omega symbols on the front and back of both of them, the flaps hanging from his waist pipe are now thicker and rectangular, the arrows on the front of his waist pipe have been replaced with two slots, the red arrows on the front of his lower legs have been changed to red stripes and a richer yellow was used in his color scheme.

Starting from ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', Omega has mostly returned to his original ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' design, with the flattened head, further separated eyes and smoother claws, but has retained the clunkier movements of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' though they are not nearly as slow. In some recent games he has shown small differences. A mainstay since ''[[Sonic Generations]]'' is that his claws are much more detailed with visible mechanical joints throughout each finger. Aside from that, his central stripe has been shown to be visibly thinner and the width of his upper body widened.

Omega was given an alternate look in ''[[Sonic Runners]]'' as part of a Halloween event. His torso is entirely covered by a jack-o'-lantern with Omega's eyes peering through, all the red sections of his body have been recolored purple except for his omega symbol which is now orange, his wrists are now an orange shade and vines extend from the pumpkin to his shoulders and waist.

The vertical stripe on Omega's chest has differed in color throughout his various appearances. In ''Sonic Heroes'', the stripe is black in his character artwork and on the in-game model in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[Xbox]] versions of the game. However, it is metallic silver on the in-game model in the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[PC]] versions as well as in the pre-rendered cutscenes in all versions of the game. His [[Sonic Channel]] artwork, which is based on the art from ''Sonic Heroes'', would feature the black stripe for many years before it was updated to the silver color. Most subsequent games would depict Omega with a silver stripe, with ''Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood'' being a notable exception. Another error seen on Omega's models in the console version of ''Sonic Generations'', ''[[Sonic Runners]]'' (his official artwork does not share this mistake) and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' is that all of his torso is colored red, removing the black section circling below Omega's head.
