If you assume that iron is your main limit, AMTs are better then Omegas:
AMT nubian: 6 slots AMTs, 2 BMCs, 1 J30, 1 BD, 1 CPS, 1 jet
Omega nubian: 2 Omega, 1 Nexi, 2 J30, 4 BD, 2 CPS, 1 jet

They're both gatable (Omega at 325kT and AMT at 307).

The AMT costs about twice the resources, but about 1/3 as much iron, and 1/2 the germ. And has a bit more then half the power. If your limit is iron, and you have no real use for resources, then it can make sense.

Vs an Arm nubian:

Arm nubian: 4 Arms, 1 Nexi, 2 J30, 2 BD, 2 CPS, 1 OT (only need 2)

The Arm nubian has more power per iron, but probably less defenses (you'll have 6 AMTs to match the power of 1 ARM - that's a lot of nubian armor). The AMT is gatable with minimal losses, whereas the Arm would take a bit more losses and repair time.

And the AMT doesn't need to worry about chaff. If you need gatable torp ships, or arn't limited in germ (which is unlikely, usually all my late game races stop building factories to save germanium), AMT nubians can make sense.
