This video made me realize two things about redesigning Ben 10 aliens. 1. Turning metallic or mechanical aspects of an alien into biomatter doesn't work. It just looks weird and gross. 2. Making it so an alien's face is too animalistic also doesn't work. Granted, it doesn't necessarily need to be super humanoid, but if it looks like you just ripped the face off an ordinary Earth animal and stuck said face on the alien, it doesn't work.

Honestly, I prefer when Lepidopterans have pupils. In the OS, even though I know the Omnitrix symbol is not his eye, I struggle to not see it that way. In Omniverse, they gave him pupils, and it was way easier to focus on his actual eyes. Also, just so I don’t create a tldr post, I’m just going to state my opinion on my favorite alien: Grey Matter. I like 5YL’s overall design, but I think he looks too muscular. I prefer a lankier Grey Matter.

he originally had pupils in the concept art I think, he even had red eyes, u can see that whenever Stinkfly's pic pops up in the Classic intro yeah I agree with your Grey Matter opinion

I think a lot of Kuro’s designs are not comic friendly, or rather, they’re the type of thing that if you stop and look at them, a lot of them feel better, but if you see them once you won’t like them as much. Like, a prime example for me is wild vine. I actually like that design, but I went into this video remembering hating it. Because the last time I saw it was relatively brief. Some just straight up don’t work for me- nanomech’e extremely fragile build, The removal of Brainstorm’s constant sneer, etc. but a lot that didn’t before work better for me now that I’ve sat down and stared at them.

[@demondoggo2768]

I don't like a lot of the 5YL designs but what i'll feel free to rag on is the fact kuro seems to just hate vibrancy, all of his aliens are desaturated for no apparent reason and I'm not a fan of his Ben Design which often times bleeds into the 5YL Alien designs since some of them resemble him with their facial hair or other traits. I think the source of the issue is that it's almost like he's trying to draw ben 10 in the danny phantom style, like 5YL Ben wouldn't look out of place in danny phantom but it doesn't look like a natural design progression for the ben 10 universe or ben's character.

[@Tari_10_Editz]

Even worse, he made 5yl a Danny phantom is OP fest

[@demondoggo2768]

​@@Tari_10_Editz I honestly find that surprising since despite the fact Kuro has stated " Ink tank exists to advertise 5YL " the channel is solely ben 10 focused and maybe once in a blue moon will Danny Phantom get mentioned - I haven't read the fan comic but i'm willing to bet the reason he'd be overpowered in the comic is a substitute for the fact danny's world/characterisation is under represented. With the amount of effort that goes into the ben 10 side I wouldn't be suprised if orginally it was just meant to be a small scale fan-comic about danny & ben having a cross-over and gradually morphed/mutated into a poorly thought out fan sequel to omniverse

Hope you'll have a good day c: In regards to your poll, it's a tough call. Maybe goop? Due to the flexibility and acidic touch for easy escapes. Love armodrillo but I don't work in construction and whampire's mind control could be unethical. Only one I didn't consider at all was the tokustar, no utility outside combat on earth. Maybe you'd go for the vladat due to their wide array of abilities

[@Hadeks_Marow]

It's also worth noting that in universe, the Omnitrix appearing anywhere other than the middle of the chest was a glitch in the Prototrix. That glitch was since then patched with the release of the official 1.0 Omnitrix. Meaning, wild mutt having the dial on his forehead is a continuity error. Same with any other randomly placed dials. Don't get me wrong, the dial looks super good there on wild mutt but it is unfortunately a continuity error.

[@pormpfspimperton6804]

That was a retcon, which was undone by omniverse. In omniverse the dials show up in multiple different places depending on the alien

[@Neodymium-de5nj]

I love all of these designs personally, the changes don't bother me much at all, but I can really see why they don't vibe with everyone. Seeing different takes and opinions is interesting and refreshing after living in your bubble! My takes on some of them for different takes (on what I feel some should look like and fun (prepare for a long ass essay)): Upgrade: I was thrown off at first bc I'm more used to a gooey build for my boi, but I came to really love the 5YL design for Upgrade a lot. Purple took time to get used to, but otherwise even if I'm biased towards my favorite alien, it's cool for me. Wildvine: Honestly I'm not sold on him having hair, period; as someone who likes Wildvine it's cool seeing the wheaty texture of him, but I'm personally not sold as much. Still slaps. Echo Echo: This is another one of my favorites that took time getting used to, but I've also come around to love it. His body shape is much more different than in the show but I don't really mind. I love screamo man either way even in OV. Chromastone: If I'm being real here... I would not redesign Chromastone at all, personally. Him having a uniform, sure. But it didn't make sense to me that Chromastone looks vastly different from his UA appearance. In fact, I just imagine Chromastone as Sugilite's appearance with slightly more Ben features and tweaks, and that's it. Him having multi-color geodes is cool, and I still love the design, but in my head it doesn't make sense that the Crystalsapien transformation looks way off from the only other Crystalsapien in the universe. Armodrillo: Now I LOVE this one. Only because while I love his original robotic look, he's way different and still tells me it's Armodrillo. (Which was the core point from Kuro I believe; he doesn't really mind what people think of his designs as long as they recognize it's that alien) I would make him look more bio-mechanical than straight up rodent in a suit, but I still like this. (Also fun fact: 5YL Jetray and Armodrillo aren't even Kuro's designs, they're Insane-Mane's with just a few changes to fit the comic better. I believe as of now Alex's design for Jetray is the same but Armodrillo has been changed a bit.) NRG: I'm actually the reverse on this one; the suit is fine to me except I can't stand green on it (or the overuse of green on his suit for my liking), but the true form is badass. It really feels like NRG's living off of radiation that he needs but nearly died because of it giving him that skeletal look. I love the shoulder pods on his suit though. Shocksquatch; While I love the mix of his HU and OV look, I always like the artist Elmike9's direction of him, where both HU and OV Shocksquatch is a similar case of Upchuck and they're both based on Yetis living in either the north or south part of their planet, giving them their vastly different looks and feels. Eatle: I love this one simply bc I'm in the main camp that OV Eatle is better than UA (Even that is fine), and it looks as if he completed his growth stage. It's gross, but like many people, what I love about 5YL's designs is their realism; if they existed IRL, they probably would look like that. Feedback: For some reason this speaks chad vibes to me. I love the horns since having nothing on his head would feel weird and I just like how they look. His collarbone tendrils look so good to me too. Maybe I love Feedback too much but he's always been a badass in OV and 5YL to me. Bloxx: Nooooooooowwwww, I... am 90% fine with this, I simply don't understand why his powers changed. Sure I love it but I love the shapeshifting aspect of Bloxx more. If you take out the plastic and LEGO aspect of him I would like it more but all I'd not change is his powers. Otherwise I'm fine with this. Ball Weevil: What I find funny about Kiri's take on her ideal Ball Weevil is him being cute and I love the 5YL one simply because I imagine it's his species way of going through puberty; this is totally a headcanon, but why I think Ball Weevil looks ugly is because as he grows more, like the generic acne and hair growth spurt for humans during adolescence Ball Weevil starts looking super gross. I mean, if you make an Ultimate Ball Weevil he's not going to remain cute, would he? That's why I love 5YL BW and also find that theory really funny. Mole-Stache: I vibed with Jerry, not him; since he's my least favorite alien in the franchise, I like the 5YL simply bc I don't imagine his hair shapeshifting (which I really didn't like), but still retain that prehensility and how he can glide by rotating his mustache. The beard makes sense if 16 y/o Mole-Stache was going to have a stache, and 21 y/o would have a dwarf beard since Ben normally does have a very scraggly one. Toepick: Asking for real here: Is that actually how Toepick's face looks???? I swear I've looked around a lot and that's the first time I'm seeing OV Toepick's face. Well I guess personal attachment will play a factor here, but I really like how gross his face looks in 5YL, and he probably would look like that IRL. (Another fun fact, his connection to Opticoids was based off of the dumb joke in Something Zombozo This Way Comes where Ben is Eye Guy, bumps the Omnitrix into a wall & turns into Toepick, and Ash tried to make as much sense as possibly out of that connection.) Atomix: I don't care if people prefer the Superman build of him, but why does he _need_ to have that build? Like realistically, I mean? Something I always wondered. 5YL looks cooler to me and I love his nuclear energy texture a lot. and that's all I wanted to talk about. thnx for wasting your time here lol, hope y'all have a good day

[@Tylerr_Creative]

21:57 Don't worry I prefer OV Big Chill over UAF BigChill. I think it gets the point across of a BIG chill..personally the best design of the species is the beta design where its super long and lanky but OV is fine

[@Wailerman]

Im actually curious, do the different colored aliens of Ben's transformations (the blue Tetramand guy and the two Wildmutt guys from the one poll) count as being different enough (see Upchuck) and therefore could be scanned?

[@KirigiriKirin]

In the case of the Tetramand, Kolar is blue cuz he has a different skin tone. He's the same species, just a different race The two Vulpimancers are Mutants and therefore unsuitable for the Omnitrix

No. A nerf 38:57 it looks pretty cool, not bad, maybe the only one I might maybe like more than the original but it’s only cause it’s barely changed, only small things 39:15 it’s a cool design, just isn’t ballweevil.. (Continued to second reply, due to typing lag btw)

39:46 I kinda hate that lmao blrghfhbklblgtthgghg 40:17 still adorable little baby boy, that’s all you gotta do for pesky dust, the little baby 40:46 WHAT DID THEY DO TO MOLESTACHE?? I really like molestache, and it’s just, they made it a grampa oh no, not my British little man 41:15 ugh he looks like a younger grampa that doesn’t have a beard! Omg, those 2 are like my to grandpas, what a coincidence (well except my grandpas don’t look.., gross) 41:54 he doesn’t have the face of a chad 0/10 42:21 woah I had no idea there was an official design of the face! I wish we saw it in the show 43:11 oh god no, not my boyfriend, Bullfrag, they made him… UGLY!!!!! 43:28 looks like one of those female robot things from sci-fi films. I want more feminine aliens for Ben, I like women, they’re cute 44:13 now he looks.. bad. I like gutrot a lot (haha I rhymed) and that design takes away almost all I like 44:51 NO, NOOOHOO IT MAKES MY CRY WHAMPIRE MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ALIEN RUINED RUINED!!!

I noticed the deleted video you posted days ago about the alien redesigns, and I'm wondering if you're going to reupload it in the future. 😢

[@coherentramblings7326]

The main thing I think should be considered is that these are all aliens from an older version of Ben. With that being said, Upgrade, Buzzshock, and Ditto are designs that I like In a vacuum, but I don’t think they fit because they actually look like a younger version of their species. On the other end of the spectrum, Chromostone, Loadstar, and Molestache are have designs that I wouldn’t want to be the default look of the alien, but they’d all be cool in an episode with Ben 10,000 Also, Kuro’s version of Water Hazard reminds me of Gravattack, which is a comparison I didn’t think I’d make.

[@ethangnasher3848]

17:10 Nah, I think it makes even more sense being like that in 5yl, even if it's partly metallic, doesn't mean it would have that usual metallic luster we commonly associate with metals, it'd look like crust.

[@KirigiriKirin]

Fair point!

[@everfreedyrad6805]

Goop better for keeping a low profile and you can get anywhere you can get the projector. Amarillo would lead to too much collateral damage and wampire could really only be used at night

[@_uncredited_]

As an Eye Guy fan his design makes me sad cause i saw some 5yl concept art for him and it had his proportions being significantly more freaky and monsterous, short upper arms and massive+thick forearms, huge torso and tiny waist/legs which is exactly how he should be

[@Chaotic_by_Choice]

I was actually planning on doing something similar where I rank all of the 5YL aliens

[@sheop874]

I quite like jetray design the clothing gives more to it and the general anatomy even if only slightly different does paint a different design in my head of like a ambush predator style creature in the wild swooping down and crawling on all fours and the face wiskers tendrils to me are reminiscent of cats whiskers evokes the idea that they're a sensing tool also a la snake smell

[@Blitz_Blazer]

36:58 Now,personally, im 50/50, i like that it's not Lego to be original, and it's like stone, but the fact the omnitrix is on the chin throws it vit off for me, like he he could get upper cutted and transformed

[@kimeakins4633]

It's very telling on the quality of the redesigns when Goop is one of if not the best

[@jakebailey5834]

I wish the big chill design had the Omnitrix on the chest.

[@clone_de_la_501eme]

for ball weevil it's done on purpose because kuro hates him so he wanted to make him as less cute as possible and paradoxically make him more stylish and badass at least for me and whampire I like the more bat side than humanoid even if personally I would have made his arms turn black

[@zionbowon]

Kuro's favorite alien is Swampfire indeed. He really dislikes Blossom Form Swampfire and UAF Swampfire is his boy.

[@KirigiriKirin]

I can't blame him, the Blossom Form is super cool IMO but you can't beat the OG!

Man i'd say the designs I dislike got to be Feedback and Waybig. Like why'd you do feedback like this? All you had to do was fix the tendrills.

[@neptuneplaneptune3367]

I agree with you on Bloxx. Thats...Kuro is a great artist but that just isnt Bloxx. I get it, hes just Lego...but I LIKE that hes living Lego, as fore the argument no natural species like that could exist?...Who says hes a naturally occouring species? Maybe they where createt by a weird Science Experiment by Braisntorms race! Ore the Galvans ore who knows who! Maybe a Celestialsapian played with Lego and thats how the race came too be, not ewrey race in the Omnitirx HAS to be naturally occouring ore evolve naturally. The Metamorphs are artifical, as are Nanomech and proably Atomix

I think the 5YL aliens are a Nice take on the Originals sure you have some Hits or Misses but overall it’s a really interesting design Also about Toepicks face while Yes that is technically the Official Face for Toepick, we never technically see it in the show so it’s really more of a Take on what his face might look like than an Actual Redesign imo
