My personal theory as to why Ben had bonded so well with the Feedback form is that the donor Azmuth got that species DNA from was a lot like Ben, their similar personalities resonating, a bit cocky, a bit of a goofball, but no matter how hard he got knocked down he'd always get back up to be a hero for his people and his planet.

[@minifred2815]

That's actually basically canon, if you stay in one form for an extended amount of time it tends to alter your personality, for example, the original Ben 10,000 spent most of his time as xlr8, and this was part of the reason that he was so serious, kinecelerans live in a fast paced society, so they tend to be impatient with those who are slower, in contrast, conductoids tend have the most similar personality to Ben himself

The donor's DNA is irrelevant, since the Omnitrix makes his own genome for the transformation. The aliens aren't a clone of the donor, they are their own being.

I like to think that Ultimate Lodstar can change his own form thanks to the abilities he has. Making the two designs you made be viable. And can be done in an intresting way. Namely with how he can switch what he looks like mid battle and the way he looks before returning to being Ben is the appearance he'll take when going ultimate.

[@drargonite9494]

Maybe since Titan is more similar lo base Lodestar, when Ben goes ultimate it would be the default transformation but it could change to Obelisk anytime he wants.

[@seandewar47]

Honestly with the "Toxic Wrestler" comment you made, i could imagine an ability for Ultimate Rath being that he has toxins that effect the opponent's cognitive skill and either dazes them or makes them more likely to fight, meaning wrath gets more of a challenge. This is referencing the Fact Cats have a Parasite called Toxoplasmosis gondii that effectively turns off their preys fear of them.

I'd like to think he the moment he goes ultimate he just turns to android and cell saga Vegeta from Dragon ball, only with more unintentional cat puns.

[@thecod2345]

Personally I would have gone the route of the berserker armor and have Rath turn mostly feral and mostly invulnerable (he still needs air and such), with the only exception being damage he causes to himself, making ultimate Rath essentially a game of chicken between his own unending wrath and whatever is left of the opponent.

[@ORAsher-oh6ez]

I actually was considering adding something like this but I thought it would have been too similar to the Toxic fur that I gave Ult. Spidermonkey.

[@slimslimonstar8454]

I like the Lodestar tradeoff of not being allowed to be near technology for the magnetism breaks everything but his control makes it so its just a somewhat small radius.

[@HoodedHavoc]

As soon as you explained Ultimate Wrath's back spikes, I fell in love. It's such a goofy idea that Ben would 100% come up with as soon as he started experimenting with the this form. Also, Ben 10 now also has a Wukong reference, like how every moba game has to have a Wukong reference (probably according to a treaty by the United Nations or something).

[@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149]

I love toxic heel Rath. He's able to go *_"from the top ropes!"_* at any time he wishes! I always did imagine ultimate Rath leaning even more into the personality-altering attributes of Rath. Like, he's really, _really_ powerful but you've gotta make sure to clear the area before you use him because he's more or less uncontrollable and prone to hurting anyone around him for the smallest of perceived slights. Great work as usual!

[@lightsidesoul]

Rath: Angry growl, turns to Gwen "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING GWEN TENNYSON, YOU'D BETTER CLEAR THE RING, CUZ RATH'S NOT HOLDING BACK ANYMORE!" Slaps the Omnitrix dial to go ultimate I like the idea that even Rath knows his Ultimate form is dangerous and unpredictable, but doesn't care that much.

[@328fire5]

I'm glad he decided to do Feedback in this episode. Mostly, because I think that Feedback played an extremely important role in the show. He was more than Ben's go-to alien, he was Ben's idealized self. Feedback's death was supposedly the reason why Ben took off the Omnitrix before the events of Alien Force. It was because Ben learned to except his childhood failure and forgive himself that he got to use Feedback again.😊

[@kingofhearts3185]

I think I prefer the obelisk form, I like the idea of more non-bipedal aliens in general. Really makes it look like something that does not, and can not have, come from earth.

My first thought on that form was Grob Gob Glob Grod from Adventure Time.

[@pikagammerpluspizza7478]

Quick ideas for the Andromeda 5: Waterhazard becomes a centaur-like lobster with giant water firing claws, losing his surprising mobility given his tanky body. But this also massively improves his durability. Terraspin turns giant sized so that he's on par with plain engines in size & can now fully perceive, manipulate and disperse nearby mana. Losing his ability to easily fly around, as he'd create a Magic tornado anytime he flys. NRG melds with his armor not only stabilizing his radiation but any nearby radiation as well, with the trade off being that UNRG's stabilization is a conscious activity he has to keep up. Armodrillo develops the ability to change different parts of his body into different construction equipment, like a wrecking ball tail or compactor legs. The trade off being his shell is now made of a soft malleable liquid that it used to make its equipment. Amphibian's electrical biology makes him evolve into a living thought that can not only travel from brain to brain via at the speed of thought, but boosts his mind reading capabilities immensely. The trade off being he looses all of his offensive abilities, as he's basically a living thought that even if you had the power to remove him, Ultimate Amphibian would see your thought and come up with a way to avoid it.

I really like the NRG and Amphibian idea. For armadrillo I had an idea he could create a vacuum in his forearm by retracting his piston up in order to pull in air from his hand then closing the opening and being able to use his piston to compress the air rapidly (either creating an air canon effect or shooting of his fist (which is ball shaped so would be like a wrecking ball, especially cause he’d most likely have a chain still attacking it to his arm). Think kong gun from one piece. The trade of would be he’s lose his hard body in favour of a more rubbery one so he can expand slightly when absorbing air. And he loses his drilling capabilities for the air canon.

7:48, I just got an idea for U-Lodestar. Since he can freely control his body what if switching between his Titan & Obelisk forms gives him a unique power. In his Titan form he can use his Ferofluid to absorb different times of metals to increase the amount of fluid he has to work with and in his Obelisk form he essentially becomes a living Railgun, with his magnetic powers being able to turn a glob of Ferofluid into a hardened projectile which can be shot with the force of an artillery piece.

I would've personally made Ultimate Lodestar lean into the design and weakness of his head being disconnected from the rest of his body and floating, basically making him a Ben 10 version of Monsoon from MGR:R. All of his limbs and head are separated, floating together on the vague shape of a humanoid. Additional, he could intentionally drop the magnetic charge on his body to make it seem like he's dead, luring his opponents closer, only to pop back up once they're close enough to surprise attack them. Additionally, his speed would be greatly increased due to essentially gliding everywhere all of the time, like how those super fast trains in Japan work. The trade-off would be that since all of his magnetic charge is going to keeping his body together, he can no longer control other metal objects unless they enter the range of his field, he can no longer project it outwards to do things like how he launched Kevin in the Omniverse premiere.

[@dernamenlosefan]

12:36 I actually lost it laughing when you named him Powerline and "eye to eye" from the Goofy Movie started playing. Love the design, turning the singular green eye into what resembles cool glasses is a wonderful touch.

Idk why, but Ultimate Rath could have been poisonous, like his skin secretes toxic sweat the more he fights.

5:24 this was the most smartest thing i ever heard omg

[@xero1048]

I always love the designs of these ultimate aliens, but one thing I have seen become more prominent is the lack of a proper “trade off”. All of the best ultimates in UA are so good because of the thought that goes into their powers. Ultimate humungosaur can’t grow anymore, and ultimate echo echo can’t duplicate. Both are crucial parts of their previous forms that are lost during their evolution. Losing a body part isn’t really much of a trade off in my opinion. Now admittedly not all of the ultimates have a trade off, such as canonbolt and big chill just being colour swaps. BUT they’re usually not seen as very good ultimates as a result. I think there is still a lot of potential in the ultimates by giving more thought into what they do. Lodestar was an excellent example as he gains ferrofluid like abilities. The trade off I would have given would be to remove his regular long range magnetic powers against metal and only let him effect objects afflicted with his fero fluid, while the fluid itself gives extra abilities such as density shifting. Losing a seemingly crucial previous ability while adding new and interesting powers that still build off of the original. Again no hate whatsoever against any of the ultimate designs, I just personally really like the “lose one power, focus on another” aspect of the ultimates. Even if most of them didn’t lean into this too much.

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

yeah those were more mild inconveniences

[@TBoring]

I was thinking the same thing. Ultimate Lodestar losing his mouth is hardly a trade off. It might affect his ability to communicate but that’s about it. I also immediately thought that Ultimate Lodestar should lose his magnetic abilities in exchange for complete manipulation of his ferrofluid.

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

The trade off's are like minor inconveniences. Honestly don't mind that though.

[@Schrodingers_Cat25]

I never really understood the aspect of "trade of". It's not really necessary for evolution to happen. If a certain trait or ability tends to be disadvantageous for a species survivability, it slowly fades away. It necessarily doesn't have to be a "trade of". Bcz evolution is not a trade of machine. Moreover, there is no such mention of trade of being necessary in ultimate alien or omniverse. We simply just came with a rule which may or may not happen in evolution

[@Schrodingers_Cat25]

Like imagine evolution is actually a trading machine and you just trade your legs for lazer vision. That's just rediculous

Honestly, might be my favourite episode of the ultimates redesigned series so far! I absolutely loved every design here! Never would have expected Nanomech to get healing abilities! It's a fun idea, but it's a little terrifying to think how having your limb reattached by this ability would feel! Lodestar is my favourite alien, and I gotta say, Ash absolutely knocked his design out of the park! I especially like the design with the compass/top-like head, that one's just really cool to me! His new abilities are also pretty unique for an Ultimate Lodestar, cause I'm not sure if I've seen anyone give him ferrofluid powers. I love the choice of giving Ultimate Rath a slightly different body type from his default form! While I was somewhat expecting Ash to give Rath more new abilities, the fact that he remains relatively unchanged makes a lot of sense. The idea of giving Shocksquatch the ability to ride thunder clouds like Sun Wukong was honestly genius! I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who thinks giving Feedback arms made-up of wires is a cool idea! I love seeing that incorporated into a design! Ash definitely pushed Feedback's vibe of an alien that everyone thinks is cool further with his ultimate! His new abilities, I think, are undeniably very cool!

[@seanfulldark]

You know considering how I would think the evolve matrix works, I'm guessing it's based on the intelligence of the user. Classifying the evolution track for each creature based on the thinking process and what's their counterbalance. After all we don't know exactly if it's just fighting against other ultimates or the simulated war is against a certain type of creature or a variety of alternate simulation wars. I'm leaning to the alternate one because the idea makes more sense if you think of it like this? The first ultra matrix was created by azmuth knowing that vilgax wants the omnitrix to generate an army of different alien power sets I would think the in theory knowledge is based on the idea that what if: vilgax had succeeded and the formula is based on the idea of all these different aliens fighting each other basically a version of a galactic infinite war. Hence why a lot of them are already cybernetic in the first place because that's what vilgax did a lot and also arms races tend to lean towards mechanical then genetical. Considering the new version is based on albedos design, it would take to his fighting habits and tactics so here's Craven the hunter setup could be based on the idea that this is a more stealth version of wrath? While you just designed the version where Ben is more likely to be in charge with his ego being a bit more of a brash fighter style on showing off. Note it's been forever since I've watched that particular episode, and thanks to David taking off omniverse I can't rewatch it right now. Yes I'm salty I've always been salty at the guy!

Nanomech - Interesting design. I am not sure I like taking away his only attack method in the Wasp-like ability. The fact that he is a psuedo healer and disguise-based infiltrator, does apply some interesting utility. Rath - I sorta dig the Craven the Hunter look over this redesign. But I love the idea of the harpoon claws on the hands and back. Truly inspired idea. And hey, the fact that he can physically opporate with less oxygen is a bonus. Lodestar - HOLY CRAP! It'd hard to pick a favorite of the two designs. Shocksquatch - There is something missing in the final design that the early speed-draw version had. Mainly around his face. It just looks a little off. Beyond that, Sun Raijins powerset and appearance are fantastic. Feedback - Neat design. I would have leaned into a more Xurkitree leg design. But I dig it all the same. The powerset is nice. The blackout power is epic!

iIt’s never a bad time to watch my fellow Flat cap caffiene addict make super aliens. Ya know. In the case of most of these ultimates, I love em, I wish they were background canon, but that usually is where it ends. But ultimate Feedback feels so perfect that I could actively see him using ultimate Feedback if he had it, or see Albedo pulling this out on Ben solely because he’d have it. Maybe to mess with him.

[@rocketttroll5738]

I think an alternate name for ultimate Shocksquatch could be "Stun Wu-kong", and "Power Jack" or "Cable Commando" for Ultimate Feedback. Also, in terms of Ultimate rules, many forget that the Ultimatrix simulates a warzone, so the ultimate forms are primarily designed for combat. The rules are 1. Color palette swap, 2. Increase in Attack and defense, 3. Power trade-off revolving around one of the alien's main abilities, and 4. Typically, there is also a size/shape alteration, with the Ultimate usually being bigger than the original.

Like he starts out as a little bug but as a fight goes on he slowly gets data and adapts and molts into a bigger new form. Like that cyborg cockroach in 2012 TMNT. He does not carry this adaptation into his later transformations, much like Upgrade once he turns back into Ben it is all wiped and he has to start fresh. Plus if an enemy overwhelms him before the adaptation kicks in, he can still be beaten. Your Rath idea does seem good even if the cables seem a bit too much like equipment but the wrestling image with the back cables does seem cool and I probably would've done something dumb like just give him more claws/spikes he can retract/extend. Lodestar being a Ferrofluid is cool and is probably more creative than just making him Magneto with Electromagnetism. Maybe he can take parts of his metallic body, solidify them, and then shoot them from his claws like a Railgun. In my idea, Shocksqutch could do more with EM fields since on his home planet the species' powers let them resist cosmic radiation. Basically, they have their own ozone/atmosphere they can manipulate going for more of a Tank build with defensive EM barriers. Feedback is perfect no arguments or better ideas, yours is great.

I swear I enjoy these videos more than most things, they just sorta bring me back to sitting in the living room eating Coco pops and watching Ben 10 when I was younger

[@ORAsher-oh6ez]

You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that I can create that type of feeling for someone. 😊

[@amirhamdiaznil]

I won't lie, the ultimate powers are genius but I can't help but feel like the concept art designs look better than the finished products.

[@nomercyfilms]

For fun, if you had to give Ultimate Rath a new catchphrase to replace the "Let me tell you, something brother" what would the new catchphrase be. Personally, for me, it would either be The Rock's "If you smell" catchphrase or The Undertaker's "Rest in Peace". WDYT

[@cillianstewart9441]

"If you can smell me, rest in peace!" -Ultimate Rath

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

CAN YOOOOOOOOOOOU SMELL WHAT THE RATH IS COOKING!!🤨

[@educkwithfedora8399]

With Rath, I gotta be honest I prefer his original ultimate form from the show visually, but I admit the new abilities you gave him where pretty cool

[@TBoring]

My immediate thought with Ultimate Rath was to go in the opposite direction, make him smarter. The idea of trading off control for more strength is cool, but Ben would probably never use it. By Ultimate Alien Ben is at least a marginally responsible person and going full Hulk (the comic character not the wrestler) bears a lot of risk that Ben would only do if there were no chance of collateral damage. My version of Ultimate Rath would be an expert combat strategist. Someone who could analyze an opponent and figure out exactly how to best fight them (think RDJ’s Sherlock Holmes fighting in the underground fight club). They’d be borderline as smart as Gray Matter or Brainstorm but specifically for combat. Also their claws would secrete a tranquilizing poison capable of knocking out most enemies. Also while not as angry as their unevolved selves when they are pushed to anger it severely tightens their focus which can be detrimental if an opponent can utilize it against them. The trade off is a reduction in physical strength and size, they’re still slightly bigger and stronger than humans (I’d say the ultimatrix version can lift more than a power lifter albeit with some strain) but they’re no longer as physically imposing.

[@ponderingcosmos675]

I think you basically made it so Ultimate Rath is Batman in a bipedal cat's body, and no gadgets.

[@phantomgamer9264]

​@@ponderingcosmos675fr 😂

[@eddychim209]

So, when you get to more OV aliens, my idea for an Ultimate The Worst(Atrocian transformation) would be giving him abilities similar to Stoneheart from Miraculous.

[@JDWalker495]

Another day, another video of ash cutting off alien legs Yayy😂

[@ORAsher-oh6ez]

Excuse me I didn’t take any legs today. Lol

[@0101wTV]

6:40 That ferrofulid would be a sick ability. It'll be like having a logia fruit power from one piece

[@thepanelbiter9915]

7:10 good call with Thero Fluid. That stuff is my new obsession.

[@AndresHernandez-yk5im]

I swear, I want Ash and everyone else on the Ink Tank to head the next Ben 10 show. If there is one. All of these ultimate designs can go in and it would be amazing

[@usernotavailable5887]

8:52 That's a lot of monkey business

[@masteremeralds8574]

I’ve been waiting for this one Edit: when you edit you’re comments it takes that heart thing

[@tizianoberga2990]

Idk why you didn't thought of this orash, but for ultimate rath I would've leaned a little bit more to the wolverine part of rath and gave him the hability of superheating his claws like wolverine does at some point

[@jerrimyhealy5063]

I love the little names ash gives his ultimates it's a very ben the to do I think "bot fly" and "hostèl gato" might be my favorites but "twisted transistor" is also a contender

[@captaintrainer9490]

I was really hoping He'd stick to the earlier design He made for Nanomech being I think inspired by Vespiqueen from Pokemon which literally have Attack/Defend/and Heal Order as moves

[@d2cool165]

I love how at the start of the feedback sketch he almost gave him powerline's hair

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

lol I just caught that one.

[@jamieswildworld1145]

I love how one of Shocksquatch's beta designs has his back resemble a mountain like the one Sun Wukong was trapped under in Journey to the West. Very cool!

[@marckvinny]

3:02 previous drafts and even the final product reminds me of Queenbee the Hymenopteroid from the Megaman series, ZX Advent spin off to be exact.

[@blueflamephotos2233]

I’ve thought an ultimate Rath would have his personality flip. He becomes very calm and quiet and is a master martial artist.

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

now that is hilarious

[@octobersourghoul]

Dang, these just keep getting better and better! Great work again Ash!

[@RomeroyRomeria]

6:27 You know, I would have liked to see what those versions of Ultimate Lodestar would have been like if he had decided to finish them.

[@markdodson8570]

I like how you gave feedback from one eye to two eyes in a doc ock type visor for his ultimate form.

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

7:35 Maybe Ben can swap between Titan form and Obelisk form at will possibly?

[@axelnilsson5124]

Or maybe one of them is further evolved than the other

[@exwa1300]

@@axelnilsson5124umm no, I like the idea of Ben being able to switch between the two Ultimate forms at will, Maybe have it so that the Titan form uses the new magnetic abilities for offensive attacks & defence, whilst the Obelisk form uses it for movement capabilities

[@professionalhaterofhating]

This series is finally back! Let’s go! Def my favourite fr fr

[@laserlock777]

The Obelisk rendition of the ultimate Lodestar reminds me so much of the game master dude from the original series when Ben and Kevin had to work together in that tournament

[@joshsherrell5256]

Ultimate Feedback being dubbed POWERLINE, and having eye 2 eye play in the background is the icing on the cake of this "electric" video

[@YamiChase]

For Ultimate Shocksquatch I love the design but instead of weaker arms I'd give him a weakness where if Ben is sick or not concentrating enough he can become to sensitive to electricity and lose control. This could injure him or others if not handled. During this state he could end up quite confused because all his senses will be so sensitive.

[@manuelmedina4617]

In defense for ult Rath it makes sense his species won't change much since they even clarify that they believe everything can be solved by hitting it so of course he gets a little more stack and a second claw to increase strength.

[@axelnilsson5124]

It’s probably also because of consistency with Ultimate Alien that not every ultimate is majorly different from their base form whether it’s by power or by appearance

[@Jolsuke]

Dude, Rath’s ring launching idea is brilliant. Amazing work as always Ryan!

[@yamato9753]

Rath: Tank Nanomech: healer Schocksquatch: Glass cannon Feedback: debuffer Loadstar: support

[@denisemiles7099]

Would you ever consider doing an ultimate Overflow or Slapback from the Ben 10 reboot? Or how ‘bout when he could do Gax for that short time?

[@takanuva0140]

1:48 Daft Punk Ben 10 crossover

[@andresmarrero8666]

Now I want Ultimate Nanomech to somehow move beyond the simulation and become its own self sustaining species. It has the biotech skills to do that. Perhaps it could bring ultimate Lodestar and Shocksquatch with as a pair of symbiotic relationships?

[@zacharyfrierson6972]

Your Ultimate Rath looks far more like an actual Ultimate Rath. Love it.

[@ultra-sonic8051]

Ultimate FeedBack = PowerLine😊 "I've got myself a notion, a one i know that you'll understand. We set the world in motion, by reaching out for rach other's hands. "😊. Thank you for the Goofy movie reference 😊

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

AMAZING FILM

[@kuku8846]

HSMFKSHDKS I wasn’t expecting a Sun Wukong reference!! That guy was my childhood hero (I grew up with the 1999 cartoon), so even though I’ve only recently gotten sort of into _Ben 10,_ it was a pleasant surprise. Especially since most of my brain rots lie with Chinese media (especially Chinese animation aka donghua) now, so this makes for a really fun link. 😆

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

interesting.
