* RuleOfFunny: Gwen and Kevin retaining their natural voices outside of a few epithets while in alien form shouldn't be a thing, given how different Ben's aliens all sound from each other. But then we wouldn't get to hear Creator/AshleyJohnson and Creator/GregCipes ham it up as they randomly transform into Ben's various aliens, which is pretty entertaining in it of itself.

* BaitAndSwitch: After Ben accidentally turns Gwen and Kevin into Humungousaur and Way Big respectively, two of the biggest aliens Ben normally has access to. It seems like they're going to break through the factory with ease... before Ben presses the Ultimatrix again, and turns them into the much smaller Upchuck and Nanomech.

!!Tropes:
* BadassInDistress: Ben is captured by Inspector 13 for most of the episode.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Because the Ultimatrix gets locked onto Gwen and Kevin, Ben is forced to fight Inspector 13 as a human. Gwen later questions if Ben had access to her and Kevin's powers, causing Ben to realize he might have been able to use them at the time.
* CallBack: The main characters bring up the various times they've fought Techadon robots, including the time when a Techadon factory ended up parked downtown. It's still there until the end of this episode, because no one on Earth could move it.
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: One Techadon robot was difficult for the main characters to defeat in previous episodes. In this one, they trash dozens of them, albeit unfinished models in an abandoned factory.
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Ben realizes far too late that he could have just rebooted the Ultimatrix to get rid of the glitch that caused it to lock onto Gwen and Kevin.
* CrazyPrepared: Inspector 13's defenses are difficult to get through because he has so many. Even Nanomech, who would be a OutsideContextProblem elsewhere, gets smacked down by his anti-insect defense.
* TheDreaded: The Techadons are so mysterious that no one has seen a member of their empire and lived. Inspector 13 being on Earth is enough for Kevin to freak out.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Kevin has difficulty getting Jetray's flight under control while he and Gwen-as-Diamondhead are falling from the sky.
* MadeASlave: Inspector 13 threatens to turn Gwen and Kevin into power and matter generators for the Techadons. He doesn't get to follow through, as Fourarms flattens him shortly afterward.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Not even Gwen is immune to [[HotBlooded Rath]]'s [[DumbMuscle nature]]. She even refers to herself as Rath while transformed into him.
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: While Gwen and Kevin are trying to break into the Techadon factory, Ben accidentally turns them into Humungousaur and Way Big, respectively. Before they can crack the factory open like an egg, Ben fiddles with the Ultimatrix again and turns them into Upchuck and Nanomech.
* RunningGag: Kevin's car gets trashed again, this time when Ben turns him into Wildmutt while he's driving it.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[StrawVulcan Inspector 13]] has one when Ben, Kevin, and Gwen trash the factory, because they're not doing the "logical" thing and surrendering to the Techadon empire.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Gwen's opinion of Upchuck, which poses a problem when Upchuck's gluttony is the only way to get into the factory.
* WrongContextMagic: Gwen's attempt to use Anodite magic as Diamondhead ends up freezing her and Kevin in a giant mana crystal.
