It always felt like having a anxiety attack because as a kid *you always feel as if Ben was gonna die* Whenever you heard that noise..

[thomaselliottjohncampbell]

If any kid had the omnitrix would hate that sound just as much as Ben. Cause that watch did have a habit on timing out on Ben at some of the most inconvenient times

[aaronjackson]

I forgot how much of a troll that thing was. Not only did it give him wrong aliens, it turned him back at the worst moments. 😂

[bassyxgrelle]

Gods, the amount of anxiety I would get every time it timed out in a serious situation 😭

[suarez]

What’s worse is when the Omnitrix took longer to time out, so the sound would play longer at an increasingly higher pitch.

[cbonde]

The iconic sound of anxiety, because you know when you hear it, Ben’s about to be at a *massive* disadvantage.

the swearing in the description is to avoid getting marked for kids, but it also accurately describes how we felt when we heard this

[Juli_is_Online]

How did the writers balance out giving Ben such extremely powerful abilities? Well by having the device time-out whenever at the most inopportune times lol

[cyanado]

Despite the watch timing out at the worst times and changinghim into the wrong aliens, you gotta give respect to the writers because it forces Ben to get creative in really close situations where he could have died...Plus it's really good for suspense...

[Dev-qsyb]

There's not a single man on this planet that didn't dream of finding an omnitrix and saving the world from disasters.

[alpha_wolf]

for a watch, the omnitrix has terrible timing

[DarnHooligan]

The use of the Omnitrix timer was done so well in the series, it sometimes genuinely feels scary when it runs out while he’s fighting an enemy

[nintendosaber]

Despite having horrible timing, I actually find the sound itself a pretty cool power down sound.

As a child this absolutely irritated me, I knew for a fact that whenever this happened, and in the original Ben 10 show it happened nearly every episode it was always going to turn off at the worst possible time, that is until Ben acquired the master code for it. I’ve watched many great animated shows that ruled my childhood, as I was born in 2007, and this by far is the best one that I’ve rewatched, as I child I loved the fighting and the transformations but didn’t think twice of Ben’s actual lore, as a 16 year old, I now realize that Ben was just an eager child trying to catch up with his sister, as he realized that she was always better than him, he accidentally got over his own head, and realized what he could do with this power, at first he used it recklessly, then realized that if it got in the wrong hands people that he loved like his sited and his uncle could die, so he cherished it like none other, and trained intellectually and physically, this only happens in Ultimate, in Ben 10 Ben is just a child, in Ultimate he’s a responsible properly developed teenager, and in the sequel he’s an adult man working for an organization. Ultimate was by far my favorite. And it was LONG.

[trapstarreezy]

As an adult you realize the timer served as a great way of balancing out the ridiculously OP nature of the Omnitrix, as well as give stakes to Ben's fights.

[lgby]

Ghostfreak, to me, was always legitimately terrifying, in both his regular and true form. When Ben opened up his chest and those tentacles came out at Bozo, that actually scared me. His true form, just seethed creepiness, with his upside down head, long claws, and decaying body. He always scared me.

[thedelordhimselfgokublack]

The whole reason for the time out was to avoid the prototype Omnitrix permanently altering Ben’s DNA as Asmuth was still working on it. Which is why it rebooted in alien force and no longer timed out
