Omega appears to be armed with explosive rounds for his machine guns, as evidenced by the damage he caused to the base he was sealed in by only firing for a few seconds.<ref name="Heroes Opening Scene">[[Sonic Team]] (6 February 2004).

Classified as a [[Power Type]], Omega has demonstrated considerable feats of physical strength that easily rivals the likes of [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], [[Big the Cat|Big]] and [[Vector the Crocodile|Vector]]; during the [[Neo Metal Sonic]] [[Sonic Heroes|incident]], he was shown being capable of smashing giant boulders and metal with ease using only his fists. Being a robot, Omega is equipped with sturdy body armor<ref name="Sonic Channel" /> too which makes him extremely durable. Notably, Omega easily survived being in [[Crisis City]] while in standby mode for collectively two centuries. Omega is also equipped with jet boosters built into his back which he can utilize to help him accelerate and glide just above the ground and even move at speeds rivaling [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] and [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]]'s, as seen during their [[Sonic Heroes|first adventure]]. He can also use it to increase the height of his jumps and [[hover]] through midair over long distances. In addition, despite what his bulky frame might imply, Omega is also shown to have great reflexes and acrobatic skills, enough to let him do [[Trick Action|tricks]] and movements while in mid-air, pull off various [[Spin Attack]] maneuvers at high speed, and [[grinding|grind]] on [[Grind Rail]]s with ease.

Omega is likewise effective in hand-to-hand combat, able to perform [[Forward Power Attack|dash punches]] and [[Remote Power Attack|spinning back punches]]. Unlike most other robots, Omega is also able to perform the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at him targets. With it, Omega can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed. Adept in its usage, Omega can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both ground- and aerial maneuvers, including the [[Spin Dash]], [[Spin Jump]], and [[Homing Attack]].

Omega appears to be waterproof as he does not short circuit when submerged in waters like in [[Frog Forest]] or [[Lost Jungle]] as seen during the Neo Metal Sonic incident. Omega also has scanners that allow him to examine both machinery and living beings based on their acquired ID.<ref>[[Sonic Team]] (15 November 2005).

As seen during [[Dodon Pa]]'s [[Team Sonic Racing|Grand Prix]], Omega also has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in race cars like the [[Cross Dozer]].

Outfitted as a battle robot, Omega possesses a number of ordinances that he conceals in his arms which he can switch at will by reconfiguring his forearms or hands. Some of these ordinances include rapid-fire [[Wikipedia:Rotary cannon|rotary cannons]] and missile launchers.<ref name="StH193">[[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 19|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #19]], "Crisis City, Part 1"</ref><ref name="StH322">[[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 32|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #32]], "Recovery, Part 2"</ref> Together, these weapons pack enough power to destroy a mecha at the size of [[Giga Omega]] in one blast.<ref name="StH322" />
[[File:IDW 19 Omega Fire.png|thumb|191x191px|Omega's rotary cannons, from [[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 19|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #19]].]]
Weapons aside, Omega possesses great physical strength, enough to throw around [[Zombot]]s like they were ragdolls. His metallic body is also quite durable, but by no means invulnerable, as he was once physically ripped apart by Zombots.<ref name="StH193" /><ref name="StH202">[[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 20|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #20]], "Crisis City, Part 2"</ref>

Omega's head is equipped with some form of loudspeaker that can be make Omega's voice louder or emit a deafening noise loud enough to serve as a non-lethal weapon capable of disorienting an opponent.<ref name="StH36">[[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 36|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #36]], "Chao Races and Badnik Bases, Part 4"</ref> Omega also seems to have an independent power source located in his head that allows him to function even without a body.<ref name="StH202" /> He is also equipped with a range of sensors that allow him to detect such things as the [[Metal Virus]] and its rate of infection.<ref name="StH202" />

===Color Powers===
{{Main|Color Power}}
By harnessing different variants of [[Hyper-go-on]] from [[Wisp]]s, Omega can use specific '''Color Powers''' to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Omega has been able to transform into the [[Cyan Laser]], [[Yellow Drill]] and [[Indigo Asteroid]]. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.
