Makes sense. He has no organs, so similar to groot from guardians of the galaxy or lopez from red vs blue, he can pretty much just survive as a head because his body is entirely empty and contains nothing vital to his survival. So his entire body can be described as a hand or tool with his head being the only vital body part.

I can understand in-universe why the omnitrix wouldn't wanna pick that. The mummy is just way more used to its powers so Ben picking a fresh form with zero experience wouldn't give it much of an advantage. Upgrade though, can take a beating and has more options for combat. Then again I don't know why it wouldn't go straight for heatblast and finish things in 5 seconds (probably because they wanted some tension)

[@RealCoolstriker64]

Theory: the Omnitrix’s AI will time out Ben a little early or late, depending on the situation. Think about all the times Ben Timed out Early, when the fight was done. I think that’s because the watch was being strategic. “The fight’s over and no one will notice Ben emerging from the steam as opposed to the other people in the water monster, so I should time out now” would be a good example. Or, like the times it would be fatal to time out and the time-out alarm goes really slow. Like when Stink Fly was flying Kevin in his debut, or when the soldiers were cornering Diamond Head after imposter Kevin ran off. That’s the Omnitrix giving him extra time to get somewhere safe, and I think that’s intentional on the watch’s part.

[@enderborn6860]

i mean we did see the omnitrix´s AI flare to life in UAF mainly to scan the Andromeda 5 so its possible the recalibration sort of advanced the AI to match Ben´s age cause here the watch sure doesnt say shit but once calibrated to feet grown up Ben hey kept talking alot once that came up

[@PlayerZeroStart]

Neat idea. I personally subscribe to the idea that Ben can just like, will the time out to wait a bit longer than normal in times where it timing out would be bad. He can't keep it going forever, obviously, but he can buy himself those extra few seconds to put himself in a better situation.

XLR8 was probably the highlight of the episodes he appeared in for me. His fight scenes were always creative and unique, whereas Fourarms usually was just punching stuff, and Stinkfly seemed mostly about kiting and annoying bad guys, XLR8 was always finding new ways to use the environment and even the opponents own powers and body against them. It wasn't just speed, but creativity.

I always found that part odd. They say Zs'Skayr isn't whole, but never define what that means. Plus they don't bring it up in Alien Force or Omniverse at all. I feel like that was just a dropped plot thread or something, like how Kuro mentions that they may have intended for Gwen to learn to understand Wildmutt as the series went on but abandoned that idea.

[@rushalias8511]

@@flarestorm9417 I always thought it was because ghost freak ripped off the fake skin. Before he was released he had the fake skin over his body which I assume was made by the omnitrix to protect from the sun but then when he transforms I to his true form he riips it off and then gets the light weakness. Seems like it was more of an idiotic choice on his part and combining with Ben is just his idea of regaining the skin.

[@somerandomguy844]

Firstly I don’t recall if that’s before or after Ult. Ben fixes the watch, but I’m pretty sure it’s before, when Jetray is still his current fastest.

@@mrvaporiz Final frontier for humanity. We humans have only been able to travel into space for about 60 years and only robotic vehicles have flown farther than the Moon. For some aliens, spaceflight would be like using an airplane to fly to another country. Airplanes were quite an exotic technology not too long ago. It was only until the development of more powerful, reliable and efficient jet engines that air planes became accessible to us peasants.

Huh, I always figured Ben's favorite alien was Diamondhead. It just seemed like Ben always used him for the biggest fights and I think Diamondhead is the one we've seen Ben practice with the most

[@crimsonhunter7598]

Yes maybe

[@Waqas_Khan02]

hmmmm I thought that Ben's favourite was Fourarm he used that alien mostly to fight strong enemies.

His favorite is fourarms. XLR8 speed can be used in lots of situations and diamondhead is just really versatile.

As an avid Fourarms fan, even so much to force my friends to watch the series so that we can roleplay fourarms with two people (one behind another, arms around the front guy), I'm not even mad XLR8 is the most liked alien.

I’m just gonna say that when they did the animation well, they did it very well and that’s something that I’ve always liked about the show

[@PhantomKnight27]

When you were talking about Ben's accuracy and precision with his aliens, I felt the exact same way whilst watching UA episode 'Basic Training'. Messing up once or twice I get, as he's not used to the gun, but seeing as he uses projectiles quite a bit as an alien, it's odd that he isn't able to adapt so quickly. Also, he gets mad and transforms into Swampfire which makes no sense at all in my opinion 'Monster Weather' is quite a bad episode. Even moreso when you realize that Benwolf could've been used at the very end. The whole plot should've revolved around Ben realizing that he's wrong mid-way through, with a concerned Gwen helping him understand I can even see the XLR8 scene being in there as the logic he could've used is "I can just go XLR8. That way, Grandpa still gets to enjoy the concert and I get to have my mp3." Misunderstanding between them ensues, and by the end, Ben apologizes in full

[@CrowMan434]

You're right he could've used Benwolf.

[@philkirshenbaum8867]

I mean Ben was already Four Arms when Max and Gwen came up with the plan so there was no time to switch.

@@philkirshenbaum8867 I meant from a story writing perspective. They already had Benwolf created since that episode was before 'Monster Weather' in the production order I just say it cause Benwolf deserved another appearance. The entire Monster Trio did

[@vgngolley341]

41:27 I freaking laughed at this part so hard. I love how frustrated he is with Max, and I agree with him, Grandpa Max had literally no reason to keep his plumber career a secret from them. Once, the Omnitrix clamped down onto Ben’s arm, Max should’ve opened up about his past immediately or at the very least, revealed his secret before Vilgax showed up

[@infinitypercival5958]

Did he really need to at times though? And I'm pretty sure he just didn't want his past to come between his grandkids like it did with their parents.

[@vgngolley341]

@@infinitypercival5958 Yep, he really did. There was so many plumbers tech that could’ve come in handy if Max simply told his kids his secret. Plus, hiding his secret is pretty much impossible now ever since Ben gained the Omnitrix, his past was about to be brought up sooner or later, so it was better just to tell Ben and Gwen his secret right away
