The Omnitrix. The most powerful, important, and obnoxiously complicated device in the entire prime timeline. We know it is the source of Ben 10's transformation abilities, but what ELSE can it do?

Q&A:

1. Who were the two new aliens at the start and end of the video?

2. Didn't Azmuth say the reason Ben kept randomizing his transformations was due to him hitting the dial too hard?
That was with the Official Omnitrix. We've yet to have a reason for the Prototype Omnitrix doing it, other than 'it wasn't working right'.

"Did you try hitting the unmute button?"
As a Tech Support guy, that is disturbingly accurate.

I'm surprised that the "immortality" function was glossed over in this video. It's briefly mentioned that the omnitrix will do whatever it can to keep Ben alive, this is an understatement. At one point or another in the series Ben is hit with a literal big bang, the creation of a new universe was placed in his hands. As this big bang happened, the omnitrix switched between every alien it had in it's data base as fast as it could. Regenerating Ben's body back to full health every time it got torn apart by the explosion. Ben held the explosion in his hand until the energy absorbing aliens that the omnitrix was switching between absorbed all the energy.

I'm still never gonna let go of the fact that the Omnitrix, the most powerful device in the universe, only able to be destroyed by its own self destruct (even the early prototype), was damaged by a screwdriver and the strength of a 10 year old human boy

Ya'll remember when Ben got a cold? And like, Heatblast became discount big chill.


Edit: After some looking, this is only occured in 2 episodes.


Episode 12 of the original series "Side effects"
and Episode 16 of Alien force "The secret of the chromastone"


This did prove that if ben was sick, his aliens would get sick. However this only affected some aliens. heatblast, Four arms, Wild mutt, Diamond head, Echo Echo and Humongosaur. Where jetray was not affected (Presummably because the race cannot get colds) it appears the cold affected the race in the way it would biologically for some, Four arms broke out in hives and wildmutt's gills covered over with Mucus, Headblast turned cold, and the last 3 effected just sneezed and let off their various effects or just didn't (for Humongosaur)

Since i was a kid, when Ben tried to become one alien and the omnitrix accidentally turned him into a different one, i always belived the omnitrix knew better what alien is suited for that issue ben encountered, maybe in a way, training him to get more accustomed to that form. I mean look at it this way, whenever he turned into something different then what he wanted, he still managed to solve the issue.

You never realize how OP and Multi-tool the Omnitrix really is until you actually look into it

[Rocksteadya]

"The omnitrix can act as a backdrive for the universe, in case any species go extinct."


Anodites: Are we a joke to you?

The omnitrix is great. Yet the greatest feature of the omnitrix is the ability to tell time.

[AmitCinematicUniverse]

when Ben gets sick his aliens get sick, so if he works out and gets into shape would it get his aliens into a better shape?

[cryptopsyrin]

"Let's begin with a bit of background" Well it started when this alien device did what it did

[IdgaradLyracant]

What it can't do is prevent him from breaking his little 10 year old boy arm.

[JangusMacintosh]

Everytime I hear Primus in other media I can’t stop thinking of Transformers and their home world. New head cannon: Azmuth made Cybertron

[saskestheman]

And yet Ben still lost to Green lantern


I refuse to let this go.

They did give an explanation for the inexact transformation. It said when Ben slaps the Omnitrix with a lot of force it messes with the selection features randomizing his choices.

edit: to everyone saying that the slapping too hard effects the time out feature, and not the selection choice. I know, I also watched the video about it you can stop telling me. then again somehow the randomization of the time out feature does relate to the inexact aliens so the explanation still kind of stands.

[federicomacias]

I always love that Ben never thought the idea his future kid had of using Grey matter's intelligence to think how to trigger the master control

[jfltuku]

The Omnimatrix is a complex piece of Galvan Machinery and is not just a simple toy for an immature child to possess but a Very valuable tool to be used to understand others in ways that could of never been thought of before.

[edgelord]

Man the omnitrix is really op.
Imagine making a smash bros moveset centered around it.

That would actually be pretty interesting.

Another glitch the Ultimatrix had were "power glitches", in which aliens would have powers that are not part of their biology, like the time Way Big had super speed.
