* The multiple openings of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10SecretOfTheOmnitrix'' are neat enough on their own, but the later series' reveal about the TheMultiverse means that each version of the movie could be another universe where the [[ForWantOfANail "nail"]] would be which alien Ben chose (or the Omnitrix gave him) to fight Animo [[InSpiteOFANail (which leads to it ultimately not mattering which one was chosen as the outcome was the same)]].

* Kevin's third mutation (his main OS one): initially Kevin is transforming between alien forms without the Omnitrix, however it is implied it is unstable, for a start, he notes being unable to stay in human form for long, the 10 samples of DNA he absorbed are fighting for dominance within him, until he got angry, and it caused the samples to enter into a stable amalgam, which is why he couldn't change back.

** It’s worth noting that the idea of the Omnitrix gaining sentience or Azmuth accidentally creating sentient technology isn't all that implausible: After all, that's how the Galvans accidentally created the Upgrade's race, isn’t it? And then, if we take Eunice into account, then the idea has some precedence to it. After all, Eunice is supposed to be a less advanced, flawed prototype of the Omnitrix, so if she could gain sentience, then surely her more advanced "successor" could do it too, under the right circumstances?

** Have you all noticed that the malfunctions and wrong transformations tend to happen a lot during the more light-hearted and less serious part of the show (like the Original Series or Omniverse), where Ben tends to be reckless, stupid, impulsive or immature? Maybe the wrong transformations and malfunctions could be the Omnitrix’s way of punishing Ben whenever it gets fed up with his idiocy and immaturity? In fact, remember that one time when Ben and Kevin tried to hack and modify the Omnitrix during their teenage years in the later seasons? The malfunctions and wrong transformations returned and became far more frequent after that. So, could the Omnitrix have been really pissed off at Ben for trying to hack it, and maybe it decided that pretending to malfunction and give him the wrong aliens was a good way to get some payback on him?

* By storming off and meeting Kevin, Ben may inadvertently have saved the boy's life. Kevin was targeted by bullies despite his powers and wasn't confident enough to fight back until absorbing the Omnitrix. Had Ben been a good boy and stayed at the hotel, Kevin would've continued a lonely life of petty theft and fleeing from his enemies until he wound up dead in an alley, being a weak little boy rather than an invincible alien mutant. As horrible as Kevin's transformation was, it likely allowed him to survive far longer than if he remained human.

* In the episode "Game Over" Ben and Gwen ''inexplicably'' get beamed into the Sumo Slammer video game. They team up with the hero Ishiyama to fight his shapeshifting nemesis Kenko. The catch? Ishiyama and Kenko are shown to be thinking, sentient beings completely unaware they're merely video game characters. And the kids leave them trapped in a loop of fighting each other forever. What exactly happens when Ben(and possibly any kid with a copy) stops playing the game?
