I don't see how these two things are even comparable. Magnus is simply trading one car carrier mode for another in homage to someone that doesn't exist in Hasbro's G1 continuity, and fully maintains his G1 look all the way down to the white Prime inside. Plus we just got a really nice Magnus in CW giving them more room to do something different without angering fans. Not to mention a whole bunch white Primes without the armor. Plus, for all we know Magnus could be a pre-tool for a proper RID version.
On the other hand we've never gotten a proper update for Omega Supreme in G1 and there's no connection between him and the Ark which already exists in G1, they're already established as two different things. It would be a total waste to suddenly make them both one and the same before doing things the proper way first. They can pull something like that in Cyberverse, it doesn't belong in Generations as far as I'm concerned.
I'm honestly surprised I'm the only one that's strongly against it and thinks this is a terrible idea.

They are quite comparable, giving us the alt mode of another different iteration of a character for a G1 character's robot mode and toy gimmick.
As for the proper update for Omega, couldn't it be that his alt mode and style of transformation are outdated? Now I know Cog sort of throws this out the door, but he can be used as armor, so it sort of works. But Omega, with his size, wouldn't it be better for him to be a space ship, especially considering all the conundrums with his rocket mode transporting bots places and the rest just magically appears?
And it's ok to not like the idea, but as someone who saw Omega truly reach his alt mode potential in Animated, and then again to an extent in the WFC game, it makes sense, and it looks much better to me as well.
And it's called "Generations" for a reason: through time, not straight G1. That's what I would like most about an Ark Omega, he takes the G1 robot mode and uses the Animated alt mode.
