Elemen waralaba
Prototipe Omnitrix/Ultimatrix/Omnitrix/Nemetrix/Jam Pahlawan/Biomnitrix/Power Watch/Argitrix
The Original Omnitrix, the replacement of Ultimatrix, and the "final" version of the New Omnitrix are the central elements of the Ben10 story. They are all foreign devices developed by Azmuth that turn users into one of a number of aliens (initially 1,000,903, but the number has increased by 11 because of the transformations that have been opened across the series via "Scan Mode" of each version of Omnitrix). Although many see the Omnitrix as a weapon, the real purpose is to enable the various beings in the universe to understand each other by "walking in their shoes" and to revive all the intelligent species in the extinct universe (including the human race). Both of these facts are revealed in the War of the Worlds episode of Alien Force. The second function can not be achieved by Ultimatrix due to Albedo modification. Not confirmed whether New Omnitrix can achieve it.
The Omnitrix appears in the first two incarnations of the franchise (Ben 10 and Ben 10 Alien Force), but Ben must destroy it and use Ultimatrix in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien series. In the final episode of Ultimate Alien, Azmuth takes Ultimatrix from Ben and replaces it with New Omnitrix - the original version that has become a prototype. The new version has all the same features as its predecessor. At Omniverse, Azmuth reveals that Ben's habit of slamming his hand at the Omnitrix core (and accidentally scroll pad) randomizes the time-out function, causing Ben to sometimes change back to normal much earlier than expected or turn into a random alien.
In Ben 10: Omniverse , Nemetrix, a clone of the original Omnitrix used by gift hunters with foreign dogs using Nemetrix, was introduced. Unlike the Omnitrix and its successful models, Nemetrix uses DNA from natural predators of alien races that live like giant worms, beetles, etc., which throughout the Omniverse series have the sole purpose of hunting Ben. Thus, only an animal can use Nemetrix, because users of higher intelligence can not use it themselves without causing any mental and/or genetic damage. At Omniverse, Albedo recreates the Ultimatrix by using the Polymorphic Crystal to stabilize its transformation, making it so that it can remain in any shape as long as desired. It also allows him to transform into Ultimate forms from his aliens without first turning into their normal form.
Plumbers
Plumbers is an organization made up of human and alien members, each of whom has a special badge. All badges bear the intergalactic peace symbol, the green hourglass, on the Omnitrix Prototype, Ultimatrix and New Omnitrix prototypes. Then, in Omniverse , the Plumber symbol becomes a red dot.
In the original series, Earth's Plumbers is a secret government organization that protects the universe from any threat. Their main base is located inside Mount Rushmore, where the Null Void and Sub-Energy projectors are stored. Their main enemy is Vilgax. Max was a plumber in his youth. Most of the plumbers had disbanded; however, some members (such as Max and his relatives) remain in a semi-active capacity.
Forever Knights
The Forever Knights is the first secret British secret society/secret paramilitary group dedicated to collecting and studying alien technology, usually by illegal means. Every alien they caught along the way was dissected and studied, and every human being caught with them was immediately deemed worthless and discarded. It is revealed in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien that the reason for their action is to combat Diagon, an entity of another dimension that almost conquered Earth in the Middle Ages if not for the perpetual immortal Forever Knights Founder George. When George left them, Forever the Knights began to flake under the various Self-titled Forever Kings who turned their knights duties into a policy of genocide against anything alien. The Forever Knights also arm themselves with a variety of medieval weapons enhanced by alien technology, with swords like Lightsaber, spears, "lance lasers", laser guns and electroshock rods being their most common weapon.
Carrying
Each series has featured several major transportation types. Motorized wheels, emerging like ordinary cars, equipped with some parts of Plumber technology such as turbo engines, laser guns, and autopilot. They are often destroyed during the series.
The Rustbucket and Rustbucket II are old RVs that resemble Max Tennyson's GMC 1973 motorcycle. Despite being old, and even destroyed several times, Max is very fond of him.
Ship is a Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade's species) alien that has the ability to transform itself into the full operational technology that he has ever touched. He joins the spaceship Forever Knights and from this event onwards he becomes a space transportation for Ben's team during the third season of Ben 10: Alien Force . The Rustbucket III , jet Plumbers that Kevin had upgraded with alien technology, then replaced it.
Kevin's car is a Dodge Challenger-like muscle car armed with Pipeline technology as well as various other alien technologies, including weapons and off-road capabilities. This is the team's primary transportation at Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10 Ultimate Alien. It's often broken or destroyed, especially during fights or chasing scenes, and Kevin is constantly busy fixing it. At Omniverse, after Ben destroyed him while targeting the Upgrade, Kevin gave it a new look. He painted it blue and placed a white circle with the number 11 on it, with only one line.
Repeating theme
- During the original series, Ben has a lack of cleanliness, and this is briefly seen in other series. It's sometimes mentioned that she rarely washed herself or never changed clothes, claiming the clothes worn throughout the first series are the only shirts she uses during the summer.
- Ben chooses an alien in the Omnitrix, tries to change it, but often turns into another alien found in it (sometimes something he never picked out before).
- Sir. Smoothy is a restaurant that serves mostly smoothies where Ben and his friends are regular customers. The titular mascot is a cup with face and feet holding a smaller cup. It serves a variety of odd flavors in smoothies, made to order. Among the odd flavors, Ben's drinks are "chocolate and carrots", "nectarines", "mangoes and blueberries with extra echinacea", and meat flavor smoothies like "lamb" and "sardines". At Bellwood there are 23 restaurants. Smoothy, and in several episodes, some of which were devastated by Ben. In addition, when confronted by Contemelia, the alien race whose physical appearance changes to match what "holds the most wobble" to anyone who looks at them at the end of Omniverse, Ben sees them as a live version of Mr. Mascot. Smoothy.
- Sumo Slammers is a great franchise that creates video games, trade card games, TV shows, movies, mp3 players, etc., which often appear in the Ben 10 series. The storyline of the franchise is similar to anime story, although the details are not shown, but tells of a fighter named Ishiyama and his arch-enemy calls Kenko with the ability to change shape.. In Alien Force/Ultimate Alien, Kenko somehow joins Ishiyama, a nod of former Kevin 11 villain who works with Ben and Gwen Tennyson. Ben has been a big fan since he was young, and always tries to do something related to him, like knowing the news about them and pretending that he's fighting like them.
- Kevin's car is a muscle car armed with Plumber technology as well as various other alien technologies, including weapons and off-road capabilities. Because it is often damaged or destroyed (like when fighting or chasing a scene), Kevin keeps fixing it. The Rustbucket III is also part of this joke. In the episode of "Video Games", Kevin seems to think that Ben's destruction of Will's car is not a good way to return to Harangue because his anger is focused on Ben. Due to Kevin's obsession with his own car, it's probably the joke that references it. Since "Fame", due to Ben's worldwide fame, he has shown a typical celebrity behavior, where he is pursued by fans and showing off, hoping someone will notice and adore him. He constantly claims to have "saved the universe".
- Every time Pakmar is shown running a business (in Omniverse), on several occasions Ben accidentally destroyed it, or blamed for damaging it, which caused Pakmar to hate Ben, and demanded payment from Ben at some point.
- With a few exceptions, if Grandpa Max was cooking, it would not be a regular thing. It will be a tentacle, or a grub worm, or something very unusual (if not an alien), and he will expect anyone around to be ready and willing to partake of his food.
Technology
The advanced technology featured is the aliens and from Earth. In this series, they are divided into levels of complexity, danger or sophistication. The known level so far is 1-20, although some technologies are confirmed higher than Level 20. Any technology above the permitted level used on the planet is considered illegal.
The Earth is a Level 2 planet, something that is considered very inferior by other aliens as stated once that the Earth is at least 500 years away from Level 3.
Omnitrix and Ultimatrix are Level 20.
Dwayne McDuffie explains several levels:
- Level 1 includes the use and construction of a simple tool.
- Level 2 includes Manipulation of energy repairs, use of Fire or the use of simple machines.
- Level 3 covers the use of intermediate tools and industrial organizations combined with intermediate energy manipulation. Often information management technologies are developing at Level 3. This is also the level at which many species unintentionally commit suicide.
- Level 5 includes the manipulation of fundamental strength improvements and the Omnitrix Prototype, Ultimatrix, and New Omnitrix.
Null Void
The Null Void is a pocket dimension, created by Galvans as a penal colony. Although scary, this could be a place for some people to start a new one. It's filled with floating rocks, with flying creatures known as the Null Guardians who protect the helpless people in the Null Void of the more violent inmates. The Null Void also serves as an operating base for Rooters. During the show, Null Void becomes increasingly dangerous from the aliens sent there, especially after Mutant To'kustars (Way Bads) were imprisoned there after the "The Frogs of War: Part 2" event.
Mask ID
Mask ID is a mask that can change a person's appearance through a hologram. They are often used by DNAliens to take on human form and are also used by children of plumbers who are obviously foreigners to hide their appearance and can roam freely on Earth. Even Kevin uses one after he's transformed into what he calls a 'monster'.
Robot Techadon
Determination is a powerful war machine mass produced by the Weapon Masters of Techadon Weapon Technology group. They are armed with a powerful laser and nanite-based regenerative technology, capable of creating their own whole from one hand. The specially crafted ones are assigned to hit stronger and when a person is destroyed; others adapt from the losers.
Time Travel
Time travel is displayed many times throughout the franchise. Professor Paradox, a superhuman, is shown with knowledge of the entire timeline, explaining to Ben the concept of Cross Time . Cross Time is a reference to alternate time schedules, such as the time line depicted in "Ben 10,000" and "Ken 10" where Kevin is still evil. Another Time Cross of the future, depicted in "Ben 10,000 Returns", presents the future version of Ben possessing Ultimatrix and using it to be the Ultimate man who can access his alien abilities instead of assuming their form. This was stated by Derrick J. Wyatt that future schedules in "The End of an Era" follow the "Ben 10,000" and "Ken 10" timelines.
