Well over 500 copies preordered!
Wow! We blew through the 500 copies last night, and we're still going strong!
As a result of this progress, every preordered copy of Wrath of the Cosmos will also include the mini-expansion environment: Omnitron-IV!
After the cosmically imbued Omnitron was destroyed by the heroes of earth, many thought the last had been seen of the destructive artificial intelligence. Baron Blade merely saw potential. He worked through many channels to recover parts of the Omnitron frame, and rebuilt and reactivated them as his own personal Omni-Blade!
However, after the Vengeful Five's defeat, there was enough sentience left in the Omni-Blade that it knew to hide. It slowly accumlated parts and resources, but it had lost much of its intelligence. It struggled to reach its former power, but it was missing too much of itself. Instead, it formed a massive construction assemblary. There, it pumped out drones and devices, hoping to match in numbers what it once had in power.
Many seeking power have attempted to harness the automatically generated troops and resources created by the fourth incarnation of Omnitron. Heroes have faced more than one villain in the self-aware factory, each attempting to join forces with the robot, or even to subjugate its programming. If any were to succeed, the results would be disastrous...

A villain, then a hero, then a minion, now an environment...
This. Is. Freaking. AWESOME!
(And I'm referring to the order the versions appeared in the card game's publishing history).
I love how they're exploring how to use a single character in every aspect of the game while maintaining their identity and unique traits. I'm throwing down with this as soon as I get it. Omnitron-X vs. Omnitron in Omnitron IV? That's almost as convoluted as getting enough copies of Legacy's hero deck to play Legacy, Young Legacy, and Greatest Legacy vs. Iron Legacy.
So now we know about Omnitron versions, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10. I wonder what sweetness will present itself in the rest.

The link to this page is broken
Somehow a previous version of the blurb ended up in the URL.

Link issues
The link I get when I tried to click through is: https://greaterthangames.com/content/Our%20preorder%20campaign%20is%20ov...'ve%20revealed%20the%20mini-expansion%20environment%20that%20every%20preordered%20copy%20of%20Wrath%20of%20the%20Cosmos%20come%20with%20for%20free!%20%20https://greaterthangames.com/content/well-over-500-copies-preordered
It's got the correct link at the end of it, which is how I ended up here.

It's so Meta
So, um... Omnitron battling Omnitron inside of Omnitron. Seems legit.

Hell yes.
When I was introduced to Sentinels at a convention Omnitron-X was my first hero. He remains my favorite.
I look forward to Omni vs Omni in Omni. Omniception. Omnitron V's mini will survey the game as well.

Omnitron-XXX
Anyone else have this strange urge to go out and get another two copies of Shattered Timelines just for the omni-omni fight of omniawesomeness?

BEST ENVIRONMENT EVER!
I mean that, seriously. I'm normally not the sort to bother saying anything positive unless it's non-obvious, but in view of my comments on the other two new mini-exp decks, I figured I should break from type. This is the most interesting part of this entire expansion to me; the idea of turning Omnitron back into a sentient *location* is completely fitting, yet it never occurred to me, and my mind was blown. More than anything, *that's* why I plan on preordering.
