The ''Omega'' was powered by an extralight Vlar 300 engine, but other than the unusual internal structure, myomers and actuators, featured relatively mundane armor, cockpit and weapon systems. The weight and nature of the ''Omega'' as a superheavy design demanded the use of a [[Heavy-Duty Gyro]], but even with the added weight from the enhanced gyro the ''Omega'' featured a spacious frame for fitting weapons and equipment into, and each ''Omega'' boasted an [[Improved C3 Computer]]. Wrapped in twenty-seven tons of armor and with the arms and torso areas protected by [[CASE II]], each ''Omega'' was a rugged machine capable of weathering huge amounts of fire, and the combination of weapons made it capable of acting as a lethal defense unit and even as a serviceable anti-aircraft platform. However, as might be expected from such a huge 'Mech, the ''Omega'' also proved slow and cumbersome, and all of the prototypes produced by Skobel are believed to have been destroyed in action.<ref name="J:FRp151"/> The ''Omega'' was powered by an extralight Vlar 300 engine, but other than the unusual internal structure, myomers and actuators, featured relatively mundane armor, cockpit and weapon systems.
