First appearing in the Energon cartoon, Omnicons are the main sub-group that can manipulate energon in the Universe. Originally made up of Auotbots and Decepticons, the later incarnations of Omnicons allied themselves with the Autobots, specifically Over-Run. These 10 Point Troopers are also Autobots, with a very unique Trooper ability: Battle Cry! Loading up your front line with a few low-cost figures that can give you bonus attacks the following turn will have lots of potential.

What's up with "Base Speed". Starting with these new sets, Attacktix figures have a new movement tracker. Instead of a printed number on the base, the figure speed is shown in the top window. Instead of just flipping from red to black, the window now shows the figures speed alternating between red and white text. All figures will have a base speed in line with previous figures, but speed dials can have "sweet spots" with an extra 'Tix of speed, or "weak spots" with a 'Tix less of speed.
