The Most Hated Alien In Ben 10

[@Naxx03]

Imo the reason Fasttrack is hated on, is because he had a little screentime and didn't do anything noteworthy. People often point out the fact that there are like 50 electric aliens and are generally loved by the fandom, but the second another fast alien shows up they hate it. This couldn't be further from the truth. All of the electrics aliens have something going for them. It doesn't have to be their powers, but an introduction or a feat. Frankestrike was one of the first scanned aliens and defeated Ghostfreak Shocksuqatch debuted in a crossover, and knocked out Apha with one hit Amphibian has a cool design and is one of the aliens who has arc revolving around it. Buzzshock is obvious. Feedback no need for explanation etc.etc. Fasttrack has NONE of that. He debuted in a game that almost nobody played. He first appearance, is 5 seconds long without a name, he takes L after L and appeared like 5 times in UA and didn't show up at all in Omniverse.

[@aetherjintempest1985]

I agree to you 100% I do like fasttrack but the way they introduced him was something that bugged me Hence why i love the way TheIncTank gave him an actual personality that separated him to XLR8 and i completely loved him again For instance Fasttracks race are more stonger than XLR8s, have better hearing, have a semi 6th sense(i cant remember what it was but i think it was there fur that helps them from sensing danger), have some night vision i thing and theres 1 more think but i cant remember (of course you can see the video of both their species at The Ink Tank)

[@dibyaudhdas1978]

I mean omnitrix has a lot of similar aliens ( which makes sense in the theory of convergence evolution). I think what sucks that speed is the only thing he has. At first from his walking in the walls and zia zag motion I thought they gave him proper hands and feet so that he would use hand to hand combat too. Like the teen me thought yeah..50% less speed which martial arts or some weapon weilding in high speed would look dope. But they didn't explored the character properly. Sad...

[@Naxx03]

@@dibyaudhdas1978 You missed my main point. It's not about powers, but something of note it doesn't have to be powers specifically. For example Frankenstrike and Shocksquatch. They are basically the same, but Frankenstrike has the whole monster thing for him and the fact that he is one of the first scanned aliens. And Shocksquatch debuted in the best crossover and one shotted the main villain . Or Big Chill and Articquana and Stinkfly and Spitter. Big Chill and Stinkfly are iway better, than the other 2, but they are known as a Ben 10K aliens, which is why they don't get the hate that Fastrack does.

Fasttrack needs a “locked in” story/showcase like they did with Ghostfreak, Feedback, or Upchuck. Maybe give Ben a scenario where he’s locked as Fasttrack and Ben takes the opinion of the audience and says how he doesn’t really see the point in Fasttrack in comparison to XLR8. Have him unlock a new ability with Fasttrack like with Swampfire. It would really make the hate end.

Reminds me that many web-weaving spiders pair up their legs in a way that makes them easier to book into their webs, but makes moving outside of them considerably harder, whole hunter spiders don't.

With the Electric aliens one would think "ok, since electricity is deeply linked to yellow, all will be yellow" but that wasn't the case, most have unique designs. I don't think speed has a color attach to it, but they chose to use black and blue twice for the aliens with that power, it felt lazy and Fasttrack didn't get an aditional power to at least justify having him instead of XRL8

Making XLR8 a runner and Fasttrack a fighter would've been a cool way to distinguish the two (though XLR8 was never a slouch in fights to begin with). As it is in the series, Fast Track just feels like "We Have XLR8 At Home".

[@Al-ir6vb]

Maybe give him a mentality quirk like Wrath? Like, make Fastrack ironically talk super slow and makes him incredibly lazy and cat-like until he gets mad or annoyed and so he get the thing done as fast as humanly possible so he can just enjoy lazing about again? Then if you want to buff him or make him distinct from XLR8, make it so he has 'better hops' where he is a better agility or something rather than just speed as XLR8 is very terrestrial and maybe give him some tracking senses. Sorta like a fusion between XLR8 and Wild Mutt.

It's a bit out of the picture to say there's too many electric aliens.

Think how a little mouse would have electricity powers would fair more offspring than ones that can't produce electricity(Pikachu vs the pidgeot). Also there's other aliens that have invisibility, making clones, making sticky goo or even super strength. I would say there are to many brute force aliens. Like rath or kickinhawk or molestashe.

[@luisguerra8852]

I saw someone say a while ago that the reason they created Fasttrack was because they didn't have the budget to animate XLR8 in UAF (mainly because of the tail). Idk if this is actually true but it would make sense considering how Alien Force and Ultimate Alien look compared to OG and OV. The problem after that is that they didn't make the effort to develop him more in the show, aside from that racing game apparently. I didn't even know he was meant to be a cat-like alien but maybe I'm stupid. If they had given him that OV design and something distinct for him to do (like combat as you said), he would've worked a lot better

[@saucymongoose7246]

It doesn't make sense that they didn't have the budget to animate XLR8, considering Helen exists. But also aliens like Humongosaur, Spidermonkey, and Jetray have tails with the latter two frequently used them in combat. Plus, I'd argue that Goop is harder to animate than XLR8, considering the imagination required for his fight scenes.

[@osman59]

I was never a fan of Fasttrack mainly because of his simple generic design. But after seeing a fanart made by Kami-Onn for Fasttrack in OS (Classic Series) style it became more clear for me (seriously check that fanart its really good). Fasttrack looks actually athletic and more alien in that art instead of some guy in a suit and I would definitely want to see him in a future series with a similar design. Give him some actual moments that is a reason for Ben to choose him instead of XLR8 and it would make him even better. Also having aliens with similar powers in the Omnitrix makes sense since there are more than a million species in the universe so some species can be similar just like how it is in the Earth.

Honestly, whilst this would have taken co-ordination that creators don't realistically have, if I had to reboot Ben 10 (again) and make the two distinct, I'd make XLR8 a sprinter, and Fasttrack an endurance runner. Have Ben be much more physically worn out whenever he uses XLR8's speed for more than a couple seconds at a time. Still a really really impactful few seconds because of how fast he is, but have XLR8 lose a fight or two because of it! That one scene where XLR8 goes across a whole city, Ben's gasping, gulping down air. Then when Fasttrack replaces him for a while, we get an episode where maybe Ben's stuck as him or the Omnitrix keeps turning him into Fasttrack, and he keeps trying to use him like XLR8. But Fasttrack's WAY slower, so it doesn't work. Until eventually, Ben has to go a greater distance, and he doesn't get tired. Fasttrack in general doesn't get tired, even at top speed for several minutes. And then end of the episode, Fasttrack gets another fight, and Ben fights with him and he's fighting differently, staying at top speed the whole time, and he wins. Boom, two speed aliens who fight completely differently. Maybe you can even have a master control fight where Ben's fast-switching between them to be an ultimate speedster.

[@yatharthsingh1196]

This is an awesome idea

I actually have an idea of how to improve Fasttrack and make him really stand out. His power isn't to make himself fast, it's to make things in contact with him fast. Sure, he can move fast on his own, but he's not nearly as nimble and XLR8. But if he's piloting something, like a go kart, he's a demon on wheels. You could even do cool stuff with it like temporarily enhance an allies speed or make enemies run into walls. He could use it while in Kevin's car or the Rustbucket and make it a blur. He'd be a speedster, but in a different way AND it would be a nice nod to his Kart Racer roots!

[@bipolarbear7337]

The problem is also, Fasttrack has the same colour pallet as XLR8. There is no tangible difference between him and XLR8. A quote that most haven't seen means nothing. Not only that, but UAF already had a speedster replace XLR8; Jeyray. Different colour, superior speed, and more powers on top. But XLR8 is still relevant due to Jetray not being so good in close quarters and on land. Fasttrack is nothing but a promotion for a racing game. You can replace every one of his scenes with XLR8, and nothing would change (except Ben would probably win more as XLR8 because of speed blitzing). Fasttrack offers nothing but a slight difference in body perportions. His hate is fully deserved.

[@sludgepls]

3:57 the most tragic collection of cameos I've seen in my life

[@wingnightbackwards]

I got a few ideas for fixing FastTrack. • have his quills do something. Maybe he can shoot them out. Maybe he can grab them and use them as little daggers. Maybe he can use them like batmans wrist blades. Maybe make them do the energy thing. • have him more of an all rounder athlete. A little less fast, some more strength, a higher jump, and some flexibility, give him a gold and bronze color scheme, call him spartan or Hermes or something like that. • make him fast but stealthy, xlr8 is fast and has the blur/trail, don't give that to FastTrack, make him agile, and quiet, more of a speedy ninja alien. •make him exclusive to the racing game as an alternative for xlr8. • show when ben unlocks him and his initial disappointment over him being just xlr8 but then he finds that he works better in combat. • quills can be thrown at the ground and cause holograms of himself, not duplicates, holograms. Only one FastTrack is actually the real one, but the enemies can't tell which, this would be a good way to overwhelm enemies without being op. • it would be kinda cool if he could shrink at will, running towards something that closes, he doesn't have to slide under, he just gets small, goes under, returns to normal height, and keeps going. • an ultimate form. Right off the bat I'm thinking take away the speed, add strength, but then to make up for the speed, make him a bit bigger, his arms have black hair going further down, he can use that for shadow travel/instant teleportation similar to cloak from marvel. New color scheme still has black arms, but maybe mixed with srone gray and green on his body. Make his ultimate monstrous, quills sticking out everywhere, huge mouth with sharp teeth, bulkier, bushy eyebrows, bulky nose.

[@jonathanprudencio2505]

Simple, never try to replace a fan favorite.

[@Bixen_Bings]

Can we just appreciate how cool big chill looks, like he looks like he is constantly wearing a poncho that just helps him fly, he can easily woop fast tracks ass

[@Ruinaa]

They should’ve gave Fast track some kind of special ability when he accelerates 1. If he goes way too fast he converts kinetic energy to attack his enemies like black panther or something 2. When he builds more momentum he becomes an immovable object that can crash through anything and will be hard to stop him in his tracks 3. Lastly the more fast track uses his speed, the more physical power boost he gets to hit his enemies But instead they just gave us the “he’s slower than XLR8 but stronger”

[@batmantsh]

Man I like Fast track more than accelerate because the Ink Tank plus I run track so I’d be more comfortable running with my feet than on wheels

[@Cerospace]

Gonna be honest, I forgot dude even existed. Like his design tho. He looks like a character that was made for the 2003 Teen Titans series.

[@TheWanderer_99]

I love FastTrack, his look is awesome and i even made his outfit in a few different games such as DCUO where i made him an obvious speedster

[@AlexanderScott66]

Fasttrack did actually show a strength feat when he was throwing Gwen and Stone form Kevin on his leg as he was running and making jumps throughout Ledgerdomain. The most strength we've seen from XLR8 was just fireman a normal person.

[@ProfessorRaiju]

I don't hate FastTrack, but I will say they are too similar in ability and color scheme. If they had made a reason for him not to use xlr8, then it would make sense. But, as he stands, he is not distinctive enough. And I agree with who said they should maybe change the use case of the ability. Like, keep him fast, but maybe make all those spikey parts actual spikes. So that way he can use it as weaponry. Maybe even doing something like Sonic the hedgehog/CannonBolt where he could curl into a ball and shed through metal armor. That could then give him something different.

[@TheReZisTLust]

Fasttrack not running in his promo game is hilarious

[@Adnan-io3nu]

FasTrack had like 3 minutes of collective screentime in uaf and nothing in omniverse and people still hating my boy nawh 😭

[@KraylebStudios]

Fasttrack just needs something different to XLR8 to separate them. My idea is that as Fasttrack runs he builds energy inside him and he can use that energy to jump ridiculously high or release shockwaves

[@kindalucky]

I literally hate fast track and me and my friends and I were ranking aliens and laughing at me when I was crashing out about hating fast track! I was straight up crashing out, and I didn't know anyone else hated him.

[@realsanmer]

In my Ben 10 OC AU, I made Fasttrack and XLR8 have different strengths: XLR8 is used purely for speed as the fastest transformation in the omnitrix, while Fasttrack is slower, but far stronger (hitting like a bullet train) and is able to run on water. I also made Fasttrack a quadruped, like O.R.Ash's Ultimate design, to help differentiate him.

[@caindain2179]

Here’s some differences with these two Xlr8 is pure speed, but lacks in strength Fasttrack is indeed slower, but has more strength overall

[@borgorbun9026]

I think a way they could've maybe helper FastTrack was make it to where when he runs he makes a dort of energy barrier in front of him like a shield. This way, he's slower than XLR8, but has a better defense and can maybe use that field as a way to be a small battering ram or have that energy be on his punches so he gets that slight strength boost.

[@ItsDaJax]

The only thing I knew about Fasttrack was he's significantly slower than XLR8.

[@ZeusEBoy]

Here’s my pitch since everyone’s got one. I think fast track should be ninja like really fast but using his agility primarily. Jumping onto the walls wall running crawling on the ceiling and pouncing on enemies fast with stealth. Etc while xlr8 should be faster. His design is cooler and had more growth potential. He’s also a fan favorite. And has the ability to control kinetic energy canonically. . And while they say fast racks faster, xlr8’s speed feats are far more impressive

[@the_cyberchill]

The big problem with fasttrack is his color scheme but the also he has no addtional gimic to set him apart from xlr8 both of blue blurrs, and giving him lightning powers and coloring him red/yellow also wont help. He just feels like we could of brought back xlr8 but instead gave you this guy.

[@PangolinGL]

Honestly if his design was just more Interesting I think he’d get less hate then just add like literally one extra power and he’s good

[@endergeo116]

Atleast Fastrack gained some recognition in the abridged version of ben 10

[@Plasmadolphin69]

XLR8 is so cool, definitely one of my favourites from the original

[@RobleViejo]

How to fix Fasstrack : - Change the color (Yellow, like a Cheetah would be cool) - Emphasize Feline traits (Slash attacks, Night vision, Stealth) - EMPHASIZE THE FELINE TRAITS (Meow meow meow)

[@akiraevangelionultimateali5199]

I actually liked him and felt bad that they got rid of him

[@cupheadyesallyno]

can’t people like fasttrack starting like that alien

[@J.5in]

There was an Episode in OG Ben 10 where they go to watch a baseball game. Ben uses xlr8 to make his fav team win or make the other team lose. Gwen had to use her camera to prove it. That shows ho fast xlr8 was. The first appearance of fasttrack in the show was in alien force, maybe it was the hybrid invasion or the villgax attacks arc (it was a big one) fasttrack got like 10 seconds of screentime but he was freakishly slow. You could see his every moment. The animators were the same so you can'targue thet they couldn't animate his speed properly.

[@DanielLopez-jl7is]

Everything from the name to the design made xlr8 my favorite as a kid. Anyone remember the old flash Ben 10 game on Cartoon Network? Dude those flash games were so good. I think about those games a lot

[@joopvanhedel1372]

One of the problems with him is that not only does he have the same powers as XLR8 but he is confirmed to be much much slower than XLR8 the physical strength is just not enough to make him stronger than XLR8. And Ben even has an alien that is a million times faster than even XLR8 and that is Jetray

[@roastingmarshmallow8654]

you actually use my scale in for why Fasttrack hits harder, nice

[@quantumsurge7250]

I love Fasttrack, I don't get the hate. I saw him as a kid and for the longest time his design stuck in my mind and when I got introduced to the internet years later, he was the first alien that I sought out to learn more.

[@williamdaviddiazcuchimaque7511]

Xlr8: odio las copias baratas

[@Ramseyjd911]

This video turned me into a fasttrack hater

[@Jabersson]

I came up with an idea where Fasttrack can leave his spikes suspended in his trail w static electricity. And it's like a trap wall, if you touch it, all the spikes converge on you.

[@KestrelDC]

Could also set him apart by leaning more into the cat-like aspect and have him be fast and acrobatic. So like Accelerate being running fast like the classic speedster and Fasttrack being an agile, acrobatic form (think Nightwing, Catwoman, those sorts… kinda looks like them, too 😂) while also being very fast as he does so. That would also make the two aliens useful in very different types of chases.

[@cashbrady4074]

they could also give him lightning or idk something new like a new element or ultimate at leasy

[@DragonstarTDB5]

We may not like the transformation but things to the ink tank we love the species, all thanks to one character

[@darian8991]

They should've gave Fasttrack speedster phasing like the Flash. That power would really set him apart from XLR8. He could be the ultimate escape artist.

[@AM3RICAN]

That ideia of having a similar power to Black Panther is very interesting

[@fastfreeze0183]

Thats hilarious. Thats why his name is FastTrack because of a racing game

[@sharkt9877]

I agree. I wish they had just maybe made them similar but different? Idk. Have each one be unique in their own way? Tbf it upsets me that they removed so many aliens.

[@charscreamAA]

I'll never understand how people hate on Fastrack when we've got aliens like upchuck jurryrig and toepick

[@peshomighty5051]

alien force has jetray which is speed, lazers and flight. Clockwork alien X Time manipulation. Lastly Terraspin wind. Like why is there fast track.

[@dimaginarylaw]

Because they are far more unique than Fast-track

[@peshomighty5051]

@@dimaginarylaw I would say classic benten doesn't have a lot of aliens I mean 19 is alot but. What I'm saying having more aliens means each alien has less powers. Like chromastone and Eatle like split upchuck In half. Or lonestar which Is like a punching bag more than Eatle. I would make each alien do more. Like gravattack(omniverse best)had telekinesis, gravity powers and hard armour. NRG AND Terraspin having usefull attacks and flight. So yeah just remove the bad aliens from alien force. So in classic apparently Ben got a cold then heatblast became Iceblast. So cool. Maybe they should add some new abilities to the existing aliens in alien force or ultimate alien. Like lonestar launching his head like a bullet or brainstorm having flight no flight is to common how about brainstorm having a tech gun that shoots bullets or to hack a lock or computer? Or even alien X when you turn into him how about you know stuff like where the evil base is or some thing funny like there a truck of super slammer limited edition cards going to crash into a bus full of school children. Then you time out. So you get a different alien. Yeah precognition.

[@Byrdstar6423-un3me]

I forgot he even existed and I found that people hated him I was like..."what did he even do???"
