Omnus

Nothing gets in the way of Omnus.

Fiction

In an absolutely foul mood, Omnus spent a day stomping through the forest on Asteroid 43KX, loudly declaring his hatred for anything that got in his way, including trees and bushes and Gnork hogs. The Milk Toast Malt Shop was lucky enough to not be in his path, but if he met anyone on the bridge across the Crocogater-infested moat, they'd be in for it. As it happens, his path was obstructed by some short kid and a bucket of bolts. When they refused to back off and allow him through, he asked if the kid wanted to become gator chow. The boy insulted Omnus' bad manners, so he took a swing at him – but he lost his footing and slipped into the moat. Omnus called for help as he was unable to fight off all the Crocogaters by himself, so the robot girl dived in to rescue him, despite her belief he didn't deserve it. Omnus thanked his saviours, who introduced themselves as Planet Terry and Robota, and he wandered off with his tail between his legs, telling them that he owed them one.

They ended up cashing in that favour pretty quickly, as when Omnus entered the Malt Shop, he found Terry and Robota apprehended by Morthrott and Grmbil, who intended to throw them to the gators. Omnus took on the two bouncers with ease, and the three interlopers fled the joint with the unconscious Squink in tow. Omnus warned his new companions that they were being chased by the Malt Shop's occupants, leading Terry to kick the log bridge free from its moorings, trapping their pursuers on the other side of the moat. Calling Terry a smart cookie, Omnus asked if he could join the boy's crew, as he suddenly felt unwelcome on the asteroid and wanted to see what other darn good fights Terry could drop him into. Terry accepted, and as they left the asteroid, he mused that he may not yet have found his parents, but with Robota and Omnus, he sure had found a family. Malt Shop Menace

Notes

Jim Henson Omnus and George Lucas Omnus.

• Omnus' species goes unmentioned in his The Transformers appearances; issue six of Planet Terry  reveals him to be a Fearzum from the planet Fearzumtia. A joke in the Burfian Solar System is "When I sees 'um, I Fearzum!"
• As with Terry and Robota, Omnus's next appearance after Planet Terry concluded was in the 2009-2010 miniseries X-Babies,  which breathed new life into the Star Comics original characters. The first version of Omnus shown was part of the 24/7 dance party that was the cutesified and vapid Mojoworld  version of Planet Terry. Like Terry himself, this Omnus was revealed to be a construct based on the memories of the real Terry, who was imprisoned in a VR simulation. Once freed by the X-Babies, the real Terry returned to his time and space of origin, reuniting with Robota and Omnus.
  • Unlike the other two, Omnus doesn't appear in 2016's Drax  ongoing series. Guess that title already had a big, strong, green guy.
