Personally I always loved the idea that the Omnitrix was created to help everyone understand one another and be in peace. I figure Azmuth initially intended to make more of them for everyone, but then saw the weapon potential and abandoned the idea. I agree that Tetrax Myaxx and Gluto got wasted. So many great characters. Kinda would have been nice if they at least showed Myaxx on regular basis working with Azmuth even just as cameos. Heck, I would have loved to see a dynamic between her, Azmuth and Albedo!

[@spectacular1spider]

It could alsod be possible that azmuth intended for a user to act as a sort of diplomat, perhaps a trusted plumber like Max who can help two species understand one another by transforming into both of them and walking in their shoes and using that experience to talk to them whilst sharing their experience and perspective from both side

Lets take a moment and appreciate the relationship between Ben and Gwen. In the Classic Series they are mostly found fighting with each other , but in Secret of The Omnitrix , when Ben loses (or he thinks he did) Gwen , he is genuinely sad and can't stop blaming himself. But when he found out that she's alive , he has tears in his eyes and runs towards her and hugs her , with Gwen having a smile on her face. This shows that they really care about each other. I think both fighting throughout the Classic Series helps building this moment in Secret of the Omnitrix. They both grow and care about each other. Ben as well genuinely grows in Season 4 , like how he gave his 'earned' money to the needy in Ready to Rumble ,and actually working with his team in Ben 10 vs Negative 10. In the episode The Ultimate Sacrifice , Ben kisses Gwen before sacrificing himself , which you can't even imagine the Classic Ben doing. In Omniverse when the Alien Force Trio gets seperated , both Ben and Gwen try not to make it a big deal of it , and say goodbye to each other remembering the time of their roadtrip. This is why Ben and Gwen are one of the best 'cousin' duos of all time in cartoons.

[@WolforNuva]

Concerning Azmuth's explanation given here; is there any reason to assume he never intended to make more? Since I assumed he was telling the truth as a kid, my assumption was that Ben's Omnitrix was sort of a prototype that reached completion or close enough to it, and that Azmuth intended to mass produce the device once he was happy with it - but before he could word got out about the device and attracted all the wrong attention, leaving Azmuth to be disappointed in everyone seeing a weapon in his masterpiece, and so he didn't create more.

6:34 I think Ben's referring to when he used the Omnitrix a second time in quick succession to chase Animo down, when he kept morphing before landing on Grey Matter. Gwen and Max warned him not to, but Ben insisted because Animo was getting away. I think the movie's implying that this botched transformation is what somehow initially started the countdown after Animo's reactor destabilized it.

[@craigpeoples9883]

Kind of a stretch since the movie heavily detailed the wave from the DNA bomb hitting the Omnitrix seems like the botched transformations we're just a side effect

[@tektonik4616]

Real quick... both explanations of why the Omnitrix was made are great, especially since this one is shared to an immature kid still growing and learning, while the second one is shared to a mature teen who understands his role in the universe and only plans to keep going... and both of the explanations can be correct at the same time, as Ben proves throughout the entire series... especially that scene with the other Big Chill that is shown

[@ravindupadmanath2802]

In my honest opinion, I think the way big's design in the classic series is the best designed one out of all the Ben 10 series. From a huge towering appearance to the colour schemes that he has his booming voice when he speaks because of how big he is and the multitude of blades around his body. I honestly didn't think he would have another set of eyes and thought these were more of cheeks spheres. But regardless it's still my favourite version of the way big

@4:40 I love this scene right here. It’s a big lesson for Ben to learn… FROM THE OMNITRIX!! He got the Alien he wanted, his strongest Alien at the time, and he still failed. This helped him a lot going forward to keep working with what the Omnitrix gives him. I’d like to think the Omnitrix is sentient enough to help Ben learn how to use different aliens for different scenarios. It would go a long way for Azmuth’s intellect to create an AI so advanced, it analyzes the situation as Ben is seeing it, which isn’t a common thing for unenhanced humans.

"Look at Max with nothing" It's not nothing, it's just his muscles.

[@khalidahmed8402]

In the way I like to see it, the Omnitrix being a prototype suggests that Azmuth never truly finished it, probably because of his nihilistic attitude. So he dumped it on Xylene and she decided to give it to Max due to their shared history and his accolades as a plumber

[@HSuper_Lee]

Interestingly, you can make everything kind of work if Azmuth's perspective changed over time. So at first he's building the omnitrix as a Noah's Ark for DNA, thus the unitrix, which doesn't really have a proper transform function, then he realizes it's potential as a tool for diplomacy, and develops the prototype omnitrix. But then, rumors begin to spread about his invention, and people like Vilgax realize it's potential as a weapon, and in disgust he discards it and falls into nihilism, seeing himself as a failure who is incapable of making anything that isn't a weapon, and becoming the Azmuth we see in the movie.

It was worth it." People in my country liked to joke around on anyone who ever watched ben 10 (and i mean practically bully) but i still watched it because it meant so much for me. I was 8 when i started watching it, my 10 year anniversary WAS ben 10 themed and i dont care, it dont have a single regret, thank you kuro, a sincere thank you for making me realize this.

[@mcocNEOS]

Actually what Ben is referring to at 6:39 isn’t the Reactor going off, but Ben using the watch afterwards. When he turns into Greymatter after the Reactor you can hear the watching beeping repeatedly as if to say “ARE YOU 100% FUCKING SURE YOU WANNA DO THIS, KID?”. He used it too hastily and indirectly activated the self destruct.

[@catguy5425]

Ben is the alien Avatar Want to go, all aliens lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when Vilgax attacked. Only Azmuth, master of all things alien, could stop him. But when the world needed him most, he finished.

[@skylerfisher4347]

Alright I’m just going to say this now, I MUCH prefer Waybig’s original voice. It really gave you a feeling of the sheer scale of Waybig, making him even feel big just from speaking. In UAF they really undermined this voice and made it less booming and huge sounding. And don’t even get me started on the “hahahaha racist Japanese accent on Kaiju monster” that Omniverse did. Maybe it’s just me, but I just like the original voice the most.

[@newtruths7786]

Same. The Omniverse voice definitely sounded off to me

[@obo2918]

What how is it racist?

[@MilczekHD]

I really don't see how OV Waybig's voice is racist at all. Racist implies it makes fun of Asians or something but no, it's literally dialogue suited for Ben with a different accent. Is NRG's voice a problem too? Or Clockwork's? I get not liking his voice but it takes more than speaking with a Japanese accent to be racist.

[@zohebrafi]

@@MilczekHD To be fair, it doesn't make much sense for any of Ben's aliens to have different accent other than his own. Granted, I like NRG and Clockwork's accents, not because they make sense, but mainly because I love how Dee Bradley Baker does a great job at them as well as the fact that they ALWAYS spoke in those accents when they were introduced. I wouldn't say the same for Way Big because when he was introduced, he spoke in the same accent as Ben all the way till UAF. Then Omniverse comes and retcons his accent.... Yeah... Sometimes, things are done in shows/movies purely out of artistic liberties and not because they make sense.

[@langletprolet8378]

@@zohebrafi Yep, it is just artistic liberties. But Way Big having japanese accent DO make sense in context (as in, the reasoning doesn’t come out of nowhere). Just like NRG, an energy alien similar to a reactor, has a voice with Russian accent in tribute to, well, the Russians of Soviet era. Way Big was a tribute to Japanese tokusatsu franchise, primarily Ultraman. And ever since UAF, he’s becoming more and more similar to Ultraman esp. on the looks. Personally, I don’t care about the accent because I never really noticed it. Seems to be just a slight accent and not something to make a big deal about.

I assumed the "I saw that the watch was acting weird at the reactor, but I used it anyway!" referred to AFTER stopping the DNA bomb, so Ben is (somewhat randomly) assuming that the DNA Bomb damaged the Omnitrix, but Ben using it again anyway (becoming Greymatter at the reactor) is what started the Self Destruct.

Ben gets distraught over seeing Gwen being taken away, thinking she will die. He transforms into fourarms knowing full well that he will risk the universe blowing up, but yells "I don't care!" When Gwen is snatched away, Ben repeats "It should've been me!!" As he bangs on the closed lid. A scene showing Ben's care for Gwen and how he'd rather been the one to die instead of her.
