Ben 10,010 Air Date and Episode Synopsis Revealed

The episode description for the first season 5 movie event special of the Ben 10 reboot, Ben 10,010, has been revealed. 

"In a distant future, where Gwen is President of the United States, the earth is under attack by an alien horde. Gwen leads the resistance against the threat. Ben, on the other hand, has been out of touch with his family for a long time. After being persuaded to come out of retirement, the grown-up Ben returns to the past to ask young Ben for help. Only together can they repel an attack that threatens the future."

The synopsis reveals that Gwen is the President of the United States in the future, which may be a callback to what Ben 10,000 said in the Ultimate Alien episode Ben 10,000 Returns, in which he stated that Gwen was the President of the Earth, following him.  

In the reboot, Gwen has been seen holding a presidential campaign in Vote Zombozo.  

Clockwork and Ben 10,000 on the Cartoon Network mural

Similar to the original series, Ben 10,000 is gonna be somewhat bitter and less cheerful compared to his youthful self. Unlike the original, he'll be the one going back in time instead of young Ben going to the future first. Could we perhaps see Ben 10,000 as Clockwork?

Previously, Ben 10,000 and Clockwork has been seen on a mural in Cartoon Network studios, who at the time were assumed to not appear in the reboot and were just drawn for fun. Other interesting characters on the wall included Rex Salazar, Goop, Jetray (who hasn't appeared at the time), Alien X and Vilgax in his true form.

Ben 10,010 is confirmed to air in European countries on February 27, 2021.

Ben 10 Reboot Season 5 Episode Titles Leak - Alien X, Ben 10,000 and Generator Rex Crossover Confirmed?

A Spanish website that shows information about Spanish dubs had give the names for upcoming season 5 episodes of the Ben 10 reboot. The article states that each special is 45 minutes long, which coincides with Duncan Rouleau's statement on season 5 consisting of "movie events", similar to Ben 10 Versus the Universe. 

The season 5 episode title revealed are:

• Ben 10: Alien X-tinction
• Ben Gen 10
• Ben 10,000

Judging by the titles of these movie events, it's pretty clear that Alien X and Ben 10,000 are going to appear in season 4 of the reboot. Gen 10 seems a little more vague, but it may be referring to Generator Rex and a possible crossover between that and the reboot. Perhaps Rex Salazar is an Omnitrix wielder in the reboot, or he has ten different machines he can build.

In addition, Becky Lau, who worked on the Ben 10 reboot as a background designer, has released background art for Alien X Tinction Act 1.

Hot Shot

Hot Shot in I Don't Like You

Hot Shot is Kevin Levin's Antitrix equivalent to Heatblast. He is voiced by Greg Cipes and first appeared in the season 3 episode Which Watch.

Appearance

Hot Shot is a muscular magma-based alien with green rocks covering his torso. He has red rocks covering hands and legs. Hot Shot has flaming elbow spikes and shoulders as well as a flaming head styled as a mohawk. He has a skull-like face with fangs and a large chin. Hot Shot wears the Antitrix on his collarbone. 

How does Cannonbolt see while in ball form?

Like an armadillo or a pill-bug, Cannonbolt is able to curl himself into a ball, keeping his arms, legs and face inside and only revealing his yellow plate armor on his back outside. In this form he is able to quickly roll and bounce around, slamming into his enemies as his main form of offense.

One might wonder how does Cannonbolt know where he's going and not accidentally bump into his allies while in ball form. 

Well Duncan Rouleau, who is part of Man of Action, the creators of the original Ben 10 series and currently working on the reboot, answered this question.

Apparently, Cannonbolt has short hairs on his body similar to humans. These hairs are similar to a cat's whiskers and can sense motion and shifts in the air. While not confirmed, it's possible that these hairs are located on Cannonbolt's black lining around his armor, as these lines are exposed outside while he is in ball form. Cannonbolt also has enhanced hearing. With these two senses together, Cannonbolt has something similar to echolation that gives him eyeless vision, allowing Cannonbolt to "see" around him while rolling around in ball form. 

Ben 10 Turns 15 Years Old!

Today is the 15th anniversary since the premiere of the first Ben 10 episode And Then There Were 10. It doesn't seem like Cartoon Network has anything in store for the occasion, but as a fandom we should do our best to celebrate Ben 10's big day! Happy Anniversary!

Hippopotamass Design and Powers Revealed

Tom Perkins has designed another new alien. This time it's Hippopotamass, or as he spelt it, Hippopotomass. This is one of the many joke aliens Matt Wayne came up with during Ben 10: Omniverse's run. 

Hippopotamass

Hippopotamass is a blue hippo-like alien that is able to change density of himself or objects near him using yellow energy that he projects from his arms. He has three eyes, with one of them on his forehead, which glows yellow when he uses his powers.  He wears the Omnitrix on his neckbrace.

In the second design, he has much more bulky and has lighter skin. His eyes doesn't glow and he has stubby feet covered b his costume. His eyes doesn't glow and his yellow energy is differently shaped. His neckbrace only covers the back of his head. 

Hippopotomass isn't the first joke alien that was given a design by Tom Perkins. The character designer previously designed Bungee Gum, who you can view here.

Braindrain and Bungee Sponge Designs Revealed

Tom Perkins just keeps on giving. This time he shows off designs for Braindrain and Bungee Sponge. Bungee Sponge is one of the many joke aliens Matt Wayne came up with during Ben 10: Omniverse, while Braindrain is an Ormerowon, a zombie species that's been mentioned in the original series. Check them out below.

Braindrain

Braindrain is zombie alien from the planet Anur Ormerow in the Anur System. His species was mentioned in Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix at the end of the movie. Braindrain is only accessible to Ben 10,000 and he is able to drain the life-force from enemies and temporarily turn them into zombified minions. We can see green electricity coming out of his body, presumably life-energy. 

Bungee Sponge

During Ben 10: Omniverse run, Matt Wayne joked about an alien named Bungee Sponge that Ben unlocked when he was 11 years old as an example of underpowered aliens that he moved on from. Tom Perkins' take on Bungee Sponge gave him two very long arms on his back, presumably to allow him to bungee jump off high places. He would be accessible by Ben 10,000.

What do you think of Braindrain and Bungee Sponge?

New Aliens Funguy and Terrorsaur REVEALED

Tom Perkins, a character designer who worked on the original Ben 10, has posted two new Ben 10,000 aliens on his Twitter, along with their powers. These future aliens are non-canon to Ben 10. Check them out below.

Funguy

First up we have Funguy. Funguy is able to generate and release laughing gas from the pores on his arms. Funguy is not a Living Mushroo, but he is from the planet Flors Verdance, the same planet Wildvine's species, Floraunas, Tom Perkins would pick Greg Cipes to voice him.

Terrorsaur

Next we have Terrorsaur.This pterodactyl-like alien is capable of flight and is able to induce psychic hallucinations into his opponents. Terrorsaur wears the Omnitrix on his chest. 

Tom Perkins has also recently designed his version of Sandbox, Snakepit and Shellhead. Which you can see here. What do you think of these two new Ben 10,000 aliens?

Sandbox, Snakepit and Shellhead Designs and Powers Revealed

Sandbox, Snakepit, Shellhead, Toepick and Atomix were aliens that were mentioned in the original series episode Ken 10. Out of these five, Toepick and Atomix would appear in Ben 10: Omniverse. However, Sandbox, Snakepit and Shellhead would only remain as mentioned aliens that are in Ken Tennyson's Omnitrix. Tom Perkins, one of the designers from the original series, went on Twitter and showed off his illustrations of how he would had designed Sandbox, Snakepit and Shellhead if they had appeared in the original Ben 10, along with their powers. Check them out below. 

Snakepit

The first future Ben 10 alien that Thomas Perkins posted was Snakepit. A lot of fans speculated that he could be a member of Ssserpent's species, but it isn't so. Snakepit has three snake heads coming out of a broken egg-like torso with three-fingered arms and two-toed legs. Snakepit is able to shoot lightning-like yellow lasers from his eyes that will temporarily petrify opponents, similar to Medusa turning people to stone. He wore the Omnitrix on his chest. 

Ventrilosquid Concept Sketch

Derrick J. Wyatt, who worked on Ben 10: Omniverse as the art director, showed his first concept sketch for Ventrilosquid. An alien that was mentioned by Matt Wayne on his forums a couple times. The alien never made a physical appearance and is described as having some sort of telekinesis and ventriloquism. Check out the image below.

Ventrilosquid

So far, he looks like a squid with hair and gills. His tentacles resemble sock puppets and the Omnitrix is on his "chest" with two nodes sticking out of it, similar to Toepick's. It is unknown what his color scheme will be. 

Derrick is drawing Ventrilosquid as the $4,000 tier goal on his GoFundMe, which successfully reached its goal of $5,000 to get an Omniverse-styled Fasttrack.

Goop | Ben 10 Reboot

Goop in Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie

Goop is a Polymorph from the planet Viscosia. He is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and first appeared in Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie.

Ben 10 Versus the Universe has officially premiered!

 The tenth of October, 2020 has marked the premiere of Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie worldwide. I hope you enjoy watching it! Try to avoid spoilers if you can!

Vilgax to Get the Antitrix in Ben 10 Versus the Universe

A promo for Ben 10 Versus the Universe may had accidentally spoiled a plot point in the movie. The promo shows Ben in his Space Armor analyzing Vilgax, however the art used shows Vilgax with his cape, constellation patterns and... the Antitrix?!

Vilgax with the Antitrix

The Antitrix has grown much large in size to fit Vilgax's wrist. The faceplate has changed from a "K" to a "V".

Kevin wearing Glitch in the bottom right corner

The trailer shows of Kevin merged with Glitch, with Vilgax increasing in size using some cosmic power, however, Vilgax doesn't appear to be wearing the Antitrix. It's unknown whether he took it off, or has yet to wear it. Kevin wearing Glitch could imply that he doesn't have access to his aliens.
