The Omega Lock (called the Chip Square in Galaxy Force) is a device in the Transformers: Cybertron cartoon series that, along with the Cyber Planet Keys, is needed to stop the black hole which threatens to consume Cybertron and the entire universe.
The Omega Lock was part of the space bridge project, an attempt made in ancient times to connect all worlds inhabited by Transformers. It was located aboard the starship that sought to establish a colony on Earth. This starship floated in the air, but eventually crashed and sank into the ocean, becoming the source for the human legend of Atlantis. Contact between the Earth colony -- as well as those on Velocitron, Jungle Planet and Giant Planet -- and Cybertron was lost many thousands of years ago. The Omega Lock also contains a map to the remaining Cyber Planet Keys.
The Omega Lock emits a sound, referred to as a "trans-sonic signal," called the Omega Frequency which humans can hear but Transformers cannot. (This fact is only present in Cybertron and is not present in the original Japanese dialogue of Galaxy Force.)
When Vector Prime saw the Atlantis Pattern on a t-shirt worn by Lori, he realized that the Atlantis starship, and with it the Omega Lock, might be located on Earth.
In "Retreat", Starscream managed to steal the Omega Lock and the three Cyber Planet Keys so he could become a giant possibly the size of a Giant Planet transformer. He lost the Omega Lock to Sonic Wing Mode Optimus who placed in the center of Cybertron which was revealed to be the transformer god Primus.
The Omega lock is also used to control the Black Hole.
