Omnitempus

The Omnitempus, also known as Omnipotence, is a recurring Extreme Gear in the Sonic Riders series. It first appeared as a Bike type Extreme Gear in Sonic Riders, and later as a Board type Extreme Gear in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity and Sonic Free Riders. It grants the user the abilities of Speed Type, Fly Type, and Power Type characters.

Sonic Riders
This Extreme Gear first appeared in Sonic Riders, as a Bike type Extreme Gear named "Omnipotence". The appearance of the Omnipotence in Sonic Riders is actually closer in resemblance to that of a bumper car than a bike. Its design is also very similar to the Destroyer's, possessing a drill on the front, extended exhaust ports on each side, and multicolored growing stribes on the rear. It is primarily colored white, grey and blue. It can be bought at the shop for 5,000 rings.

When in use, the Omnipotence grants its riders Speed Type, Fly Type, and Power Type attributes, allowing them to grind on rails, fly off Flight Ramps and Accelerators, and smash through obstacles (even though the user already will possesses one of these abilities). The drawback of using the Omnipotence wide moveset during a race, however, is that the user cannot replenish the Omnipotence Air Tank by using either of the three types' abilties.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
The Omnipotence made a return in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, where it was given a major redesign, having been given a new name "Omnitempus", and had been rebuilt into regular Board type Extreme Gear. The Omnitempus basic structure in this game looks almost like a cyan and metal blue cubicle rectangle with yellow streaks, and possesses two sphere.like exhaust ports in the rear. It still maintains, however, the multicolored lines on its rear from the previous game. It can be bought at the shop for 2,800 rings.

In this game, the Omnitempus retains its ability to grant the user the attributes of Speed Types, Flight Types and Power Types. However, instead of this being a passive ability of the Omnitempus, these abilites are contained within the Omnitempus' Gear Parts, meaning that the player has to activate the specific skill of each type (grinding, flying and smashing obstacles) manually through its Gear Change. Though the player can chose which Gear Part he/she can activate at a given moment, it means that only one skill belonging to each type can be used at once, and that rings are required to be switched between the skills.

Gear Parts

 * Grind: Lets the Omnitempus grind on rails.
 * Air Ride: Turns the Omnitempus into an Air Ride type Extreme Gear, allowing it to glide through the air and Dash Rings.
 * Bike: Turns the Omnitempus into a bike type Extreme Gear, allowing it to crash through obstacles without slowing down.

Sonic Free Riders
The Omnitempus made another return in Sonic Free Riders, though it remained as a Board type and retained its name from Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. In this game, the Omnitempus was given another redesign; it was given a more board-like shape, and was given white edges that are almost shaped as clouds, while the rest of its surface was colored blue with yellow lines.

In Sonic Free Riders, the Omnitempus was given the same abilites as it had in Sonic Riders, meaning that the user could grind, fly off Flight Ramps and through Dash Rings, and smash through obstacles, at all times. It also however, regained its ability to prevent the player from refilling the Omnitempus' Air Tank by using either of the three abilties. It can also not be equipped with any Gear Parts.

Trivia

 * The word "Omni" is the Latin word for "all" or "every", which is a reference to the Gear's ability to grant the user all the abilties of each character type.
