Why Can’t Omnics be Created?
The Omnics cannot be created because the Omniums, which were the factories responsible for producing them, were destroyed, and as a result, the technology and infrastructure to create new Omnics no longer exist. The destruction of the Omniums has made the Omnics a single-generation species, and with each new Omnic death, their species inches ever closer to extinction.
Understanding Omnics and their Creation
The Omnics were originally designed and built by humans, primarily by the Omnica Corporation, to serve the economy and create economic equality worldwide. However, after investigations uncovered evidence of corporate fraud, the Omniums were shut down, and the production of new Omnics ceased.
