Ben 10: Biomatrix

(Warning: this is a little long)

Ben Tennyson was 16 when he found a broken Omnitrix in the woods while on a camping trip with some teammates, celebrating their victory in the last game of the season. As he tried to get it off, Ben accidentally activates the device and transformed into an amalgam of himself and a Pyronite. After some mishaps, and a fight with a giant robot looking for the watch, Ben decided to use it to help if/when the opportunity came.

Gwen Tennyson was invited to go camping by Ben as a way to help get her mind off of college exams; though the two weren't close, Gwen took up the offer, reminded of their road trip with Grandpa Max. At the camp site, Gwen was the one to spot the impending forest fire from Ben's transformation, and was the first one to rush to help, discovering Ben, and giving him the idea to create a backfire to stop the original.

JT Mackleroy used to bully Ben after befriending Cash Murray, but changed his tune when Cash voiced his unconcern for anyone caught in the forest fire, let alone Ben or Gwen. Following Gwen to help, JT brought a pair of fire extinguishers to try and douse the fire before it got out of hand, but it was too big by the time he arrived, so just kept the flames at Bay while Ben and Gwen tried coming up with a plan. afterwards, JT apologized for bullying Ben and even wanted to try and be friends again.

After that camping trip, Ben, Gwen, and JT team up when something would happen in or around town: Ben is the muscle, using any one of ten transformations in the newly dubbed Biomatrix; Gwen is the informant, using her research abilities to find any bit of information no matter how minute; and JT is the equipment guy, his time as the Soccer teams equipment manager giving him an insight into any and all items that may come in handy.

Because the Biomatrix is damaged, it doesn't fully transform Ben, but the effect on each alien varies, along with how complete each transformation is.

Hot Shot: Ben's first alien, and arguably the most complete due to how little of "Ben" is left once the transformation is "done", being a few inches taller than Ben, but is still primarily, physically a Pyronite. Abilities include limited Pyrokinesis and heat resistance and detection.

Wildmutt: The transformation is more of a 60/40 split, making Ben look like a Vulpimancer werewolf, and because of this, can talk, though not well, utilizing short simple sentences only when he needs to. Abilities include echolocation, enhanced sense of smell, enhanced strength and flexibility.

Diamondhead: Petrosapien crystals form pieces of armor around Ben rather than actually becoming Ben but aren't as tough as normal Petrosapien crystal. Abilities include crystal generation, enhanced durability, and weapon formation originating from the crystal gauntlets.

XLR8: Due to some of the more important biological features of Kinecelerens are missing from the transformation, XLR8's top speed is a fraction of what a normal Kineceleren can move, but is still incredibly quick, topping out around 200 miles an hour. Abilities include enhanced speed and perception, and limited enhanced durability.

Cerebrum: Even with the partial transformation, Cerebrum is still the smartest alien in Ben's arsenal, but isn't as smart or as small as other Galvans, surpassing the average but is nowhere near the top, and stands at an even two feet tall. Abilities include enhanced intellect and mechanical knowhow.

Tetraman: For some reason, because of the incomplete transformation, the Biomatrix improperly scales the power of a Tetramand to Ben, giving Tetraman more power than natural Tetramands have, while being much smaller in size and stature, standing just under eight feet tall compared to the natural 10-12 feet. Abilities include enhanced strength, stamina, durability, dexterity, and sight.

Flyboy: An odd combination, Flyboy would remind you of some horror character fusion of man and insect, which makes Flyboy one of four transformations useful for interrogations. Abilities include flight, enhanced sight, goo generation from eyes, tail doubles as blade.

Angler: Due to the transformation being incomplete, Angler can stay out of water longer than regular Piscciss Volann's, but not by much, so Ben tries not to use him too much on land but keeps extra water on hand just in case. Abilities include enhanced swimming, strength, and durability, underwater breathing, jaw can unhinge for powerful bites.

Upgrade: The Galvanic Mechamorph primarily takes the shape of Ben, and leaves most of Bens clothes untouched compared to the other transformations, but because of the incomplete transformation, Upgrade can't fully merge with technology, leaving the primary body exposed while the "arms" are engaged. Abilities include technokinesis, "eye" laser, limited plasticity, enhanced durability.

Specter: Something about the transformation keeps Ben from using it too much, describing it as being like someone is always behind him, trying to tell him something; Ben really doesn't like using it, even if the situation calls for it. Abilities include phasing, possession, and flight.

Fun facts 😸

Your an Alien 👽

Since I had no better idea for April 1th, I bring you this (yeh, today is 2nd, take as a joke 😜)

💀

So, I know they are aliens, but let's take a look some of Ben aliens who has weird biology, even with with the knowledge what we have;

Side note; I won't count Ultimates

Ripjaws

So, one of the weirdest one was this alien. On his waist he has that loincloth like -let's say- skin.....or tail? Not clothes, organic part

However, seemingly Magister Patelliday doesn't have

And my greatest question about this species; how does they transform their legs to tail? They can wrap their "skin" around of their tail, but the finns look totaly different from their feet

Also, they can use this on purpose, because Ripjaws swam with both legs and tail.....

Terraspin

Oh, boy, where should I start?

So, personally I think he has two heads; one front and one under his Shell

I mean; there's no way he can drive his neck that way

And I always wondered, the top of his head black and plug one of the airways or technicly he has only a mask like face with a hole on the top?

What's the deal about his legs? He can form fuse them? He can morph them? Can he form something other than a big paddle?

Also; his shell is very solid, and seemingly made from one piece, only holes for the wind and the externals plus the head. How the hell can he rotates around his flippers?

And those retractable claws are bizarre too, but ok, I can work with that...

The worst

Can they regenerate or they posess enchanted durability...?

Also, why are they blocking their navels? Each of them cover it with clothes or if they are half naked, than they use something

And why they put bandageas to it? Aren't they indestructable? Or are they, but not invulnerable?

Lodestar

Separated head. Cool. Fall-off head. Not so

So, his head can control his body, but he can't control it when he is far. However, he can lift a big car from a half-street distance

Also, the connection strong enought to Lodestar be lifted by head, but a single movement can destabilase

Blitzwolfer

So, it's cool and I like the idea but how does his face-spliting? Doesn't he always salivate his chin?

Can he lock his "side jaws" together?

Also, in the real world it would not work; the sound generation tube (what is partly his mouth) becomes shorter making the howl deeper. Also, he could use a skin around his mouth more than this open mouth, because it makes a less concentrated sound wave

Big chill

Sofar, only Brainstorm and he had visible mouth which didn't move during speaking

Before complaning that's true for Atomix too, but his mouth never moved, so whe can't be sure it is a real mouth or he use an alternative way to speak

Back to the previous point; Brainstorm actually communicating by projected brain waves but Big chill just open it to shoots ice, but that's all.......

I found strange he rarely moving his wings while flying. But I completly lost when he wraped them around himself, like a clook (actually a cool one) and he still levitated. Than why does he even have wings?

About the intangible form; It somehow still belivable he can touch other "untouchable things" but two problem;

The Omnitrix completly wanishes. Not even it's siluette. Where does it goes? Mysteri....

He freezing objects what he phasing trought. Except when he doesn't.....

Echo Echo

So, maybe it's new information for some of you, but actually that white shouting amplifier is a robot outfit. The real creature is completly made out of sound. Technicly it's powering the suit

That would means he is spiting himself out each time he uses his power?

And a creature completly made out of sound has/have DNA, but a spirit from life energy (manna) hasn't?

Oh, and there's the duplication. Ok, I get it, he can make an other sound creature from himself. But how can he make an other robotic suit for himself?

Also; why does his suite looks like this? This is how a sound creature's 3D modell looks like?

Is his suit magnitazable? Can a Galvanic methamorph control it?

Nanomech

So, be honest.....: He doesn't even an alien, just Ben DNA fused with nanochip

So, that's all alien weirdo for today. If you hate it, you read it so far, joke on you....😜

I’m redesigning some Ben 10 aliens and ripjaws is. Well he sure is something. Do you know how obnoxious it is draw all the scales and his tiny head like his head is minuscule compared to how big his teeth are( yah that’s kinda the point but still like its almost unreasonable how much space he teeth take up compared to his eyes and actual mouth
