Ben 10 (New Series)

How about Negatrix?

Here's interesting thing to note: the only confirmed Kevin's form is a new alien, Hot Shot. Although, at the same time HS sure feels a lot like Heatblast, so I'm really wondering where are they going with this. Will his whole playlist be bunch of copies? Or is Hot Shot also a Pyronite, just much different looking than Ben's?

I’m betting it’s just a Pyronite. We saw in the Alien Worlds videos that they can be different.

Seems he is a Pyronite indeed:

Here's a render.◊

And the toy description.◊

Kevin really sounds like a brat in that description xD

“sounds like a brat” XD

9 new eps are on the app

WHAT?!?! NINE NEW EPS?!?!?!?

HAVE YOU WATCHED THEM? HOW ARE THEM? AND THE MOST IMPORTANT, IS GLITCH ON THEM?

I haven't watched, but someone sent pics and previews on Discord.

Long story short:

• Weatherheads are back for another base, except rather than in the forest, this episode is a beach episode
• Ben goes Rath for a cosplay convention (furry confirmed)
• Zombozo (and the hipsters) return. This time, it seems he successfully manages to brainwash the entire family, and he's working with the Knight
• Two new supervillains are being introduced, a pair of evil scientists
• Simon is coming back (and the summary OPENLY states he's making things worse)
• Charmcaster is back, and she uses the trick in "In Charm's Way" to take Gwen's appearance for an evil plan
• Kevin is coming, with his own version of Cannonbolt: Wreckingbolt by Miley Cyrus
• One last thing: some of the episodes reference UAF/OV episode titles, such as "Rath of Con" and "Charm School's Out"

XD about EVERYTHING

How did you miss Ben dressed up as a grape? Anyways RATH!!!!!!!! Also, Ben’s plans (he knows that Shock Rock is still there) are also very funny/cool.

I really hope that after those episodes Glitch comes out from the Rustbuggy and says that he was sleeping cuz he was REALLY tired

OK, I think I can approve Kevin's having evil versions of Ben's forms - it feels like natural upgrade on Albedo's dark and red ones. But I want to see how many of them have different designs than just wearing spiky armors.

But Rath...I saw clip and he feels like original but somehow inferior in each way. I feel that voice acting really took a step down in this reboot, at least with Ben's aliens.

According to Matt, a guy on Discord, DA and Tumblr who often views producer stuff, Glitch is stuck inside the Rustbuggy. He actually can't unfuse or talk, just make beeps and noises like Ship.

Also, I just saw a REALLY cool clip showing a flashback. Kevin is Ben's old school bully apparently, but when Ben was still at school, he had... a different outfit.◊ A really, really familiar one◊

So Glitch is stuck? I hope he gets out mid-season

Yeah… I don’t really like that outfit.

Yeah, Glitch is stuck in there for a while, Ben won't be able to talk stuff with his bro normally for a little while. I think the outfit was a neat reference tho. It means Ben changed his shirt before going on summer vacation, and maybe his old shirt still is his soccer shirt.

So, I watched the prewiews on the Cartoon Network channel and I saw several funny things.

• Princess Gwen is funny.

• Shock Rock is somehow able to ride a horse despite his size.
  • He also wears an armor obviously not made by himself.

• How big is Humongusaur to being able to hold Gwen in his hand?
  • He says that the rock he ate as Humongousaur didn’t sit well after he turned human. I’m starting to get worried for that.

• There is a scene where it looks like (and may be (I can’t put the sounds)) Gwen is saying “Grandpa, Four Arms is fighting a polar bear!”

• Rath retracting his claws was… a bit awkward.
  • His second transformation was cool though.

• Stinkfly’s new transformation is long and weird.

• Humongousaur’s is kinda cool.

I’m imagining a little scenario here.

Ben Prime: Okay, alternative me, get the most powerful alien you have.

Reboot Ben: *transforms into Humongousaur*

Ben Prime: Ultimate Humongousaur?!?!

You can edit your posts.

I Am Sh Oo Ke Th

THE KNIGHT IS GATHERING SUPERPOWERED KIDS FOR AN ARMY, IT'S LIKE THE ROOTERS AND THE NEGATIVE 10. He recruited Charmcaster, and has been spying on Ben as well as others: Kevin, Simon...

I feel like Ben might be the next on the list...

Aren’t you worried about the fact he ate a rock?

Meh, he ate weirder. This is a show about aliens, and even if he ate a rock, remember he also drank juice which burned Gwen's skin upon contact and licked snow that was soda flavored, and a bad soda as that. Not to mention what OS had him eat...

Also, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

GWEN CALLED BEN A DWEEB AGAIN

CHARMCASTER CALLED BEN A DOOFUS

*dances in place*

Guess who got renewed for a fourth season?

That's right you funky little reboot!

Eh. Good for this show. I do not hate this reboot enough to be mad, but I do not like it enough to be happy either. I guess I'm just glad Ben 10 is being kept alive. Hopefully we might get future installments that go in a different direction though, because I don't think that one is for me.

I found this version of Rath to be a big step down in both personality and voice (which is weird since they already have John Di Maggio on the show).

Yay!!!

“funky little reboot” XD

Edit: Okay, I read the article and “Special key that upgrades his beloved Omnitrix to add ‘Omni-Kix’ armor enhacements to his aliens so he can power up during the action”. (Ｔ＿Ｔ) What. Hope they don’t do it too similar to the Omni-Enhacements.

I saw a Youtube comment that said “Just imagine him as a young Rath”.

Well, I'm bummed out. Yeah, I'm sorry I only pay attention to this show so I can complain and be negative, I probably silently judged people for similar attitude towards Omniverse, yet here I am whining.

Assuming that next season won't be shorter, reboot is already as long as Omniverse, (counting two episodes as one) and whats more annoying, I can't just wait it out, because while each previous Ben 10 series lasted only 2 years, this one just keeps on going on going.

And did it improve? From what I saw, Forever Knight comes straight from Writing Secret Shadowy Villains For Dummies book, aka he's behind everything, he reveals about himself as little as possible and he makes vague statements - doesn't every other action series opens with bad guy like that? Rath is similar to original yet inferior in each way - he sounds odd, design is ok, but more white on his face makes him look old, he's not funny, and we're getting more of these fudging cat jokes. And I will admit that evil aliens are kinda neat, but Kevin is now boring one-dimensional bully. No past, personality, nuthin', his episode just establishes that he used to bully Ben, that he build his Trix from a dream and then he just picks fight with Ben and that's the whole episode (Fight makes 85% of episode yet we only get one alien). And learning that their big idea for next innovation is "Omni-Kix armor" is not making me optimistic.

To counter my negativity, here's Season 3 poster that reveals more Kevin's aliens: Black Ice (Diamondhead), Quad Smack (Four Arms) and Bashmouth (Wiki says it's Blitzerwolf, but I'm not sure if it's not Rath) and here's video "How the Reboot IMPROVED the Original".

Kinda ironical to make Kevin a bully when the original incarnation was basically a bully victim who went Then Let Me Be Evil.
