Yayabee at The Arker has posted images of a new Transformers 2 toy. It is an autobot that appears to have an alt mode of a Antonov An-225 aircraft – inside it carries a very small Optimus Prime. The AN-225 is a Russian craft that matches the rear wing and underside design of the toy as well as carrying a spacecraft on top, though it has two additional engines and the nose cone appears different. It also has similarities with the C-130 Hercules.
Whether this character shall appear in ROTF is debatable – it is plausible that the Autobots board the craft (maybe at the Boneyard) to travel to Egypt, but it doesn’t make sense for a Russian plane to be there. Another angle is the craft is originally supplied by the combined UN force in a bid to help fight the Decepticons.

It looks more like a C-17 with a AN-225 tail to me… Thanks.
Wow. That is really low.
Omega Supreme anyone?
Remember that in G1 he was the Constructicons direct rival, so the Autobots would need someone huge to fight Devastator.
Another option is the Last Autobot, one of the original 13 created by Primues, like the Fallen…
Those are my guesses…
Remember that in all the cartoons – G1, Energon and Animated – Omega Supreme is always a ship , like the rocket/space base combo, a starkship/train and “The Ark”…
So it’s likely that he would be a huge ship…
