Ben Gen 10 and Alien X-Tinction Synopsis Revealed (Generator Rex and Multi-Ben Crossover Confirmed!)

Today a WarnerMedia presentation was held. In it, a lot of Cartoon Network projects has been revealed, such as a new season for Infinity Train. The presentation revealed the synopsis for the three upcoming Ben 10 reboot specials, Ben 10,010, Ben Gen 10 and Alien X-Tinction. It's confirmed that they will air in that order.  You can watch the video here.

Ben Gen 10 is confirmed to feature Rex Salazar from Generator Rex, who is running away from a hostile Providence. Ben and Rex must team up to stop the world from being infected with alien DNA. 

Rex Salazar has previously been foreshadowed on the Cartoon Network mural, with a younger look. Which probably means that this is the reboot's version of Rex, and not the one from the old show.

The final reboot special, Alien X-Tinction, will feature the Tennyson family getting attacked by an evil dimension-hopping alien. They later meet an alternate universe version of Max who opens the door to hosting multiple alternate versions of Ben and Gwen, forming an alien hero army to combat the threat.

The synopsis confirms that there will at least one version of Gwen that wields the Omnitrix. It is possible that the dimension-hopping alien may be a Celestialsapien, hence Alien X's name being in the title. 

This multi-Ben crossover has been foreshadowed for a long time, with Duncan Rouleau taking to Twitter to tease the possibilities of seeing Benzarro, Gwen 10, Omniverse Ben and Alien Force Ben. There was also a leaked soundtrack for the upcoming episode, with one of them being titled "various Bens".

Here are the descriptions for Ben 10,010 Ben Gen 10 and Alien X-Tinction: 

The first, Ben 10010, takes place in the future when a disillusioned Ben 10000 is called out of retirement to recruit his 10-year-old version from the past to work together to save a future under siege. The second special, Ben Gen 10 follows Ben as he meets a young Generator Rex on the run from a hostile Providence working through a series of misunderstandings in order to save the world from being infected with alien DNA. In the final installment, Alien X-Tinction, the Tennysons are attacked by a villainous, dimension-hopping Omni-alien, and soon meet a parallel universe version of Max who opens the door to hosting multiple Bens and Gwens, forming an alien hero army to combat this threat.

We also got a screenshot from one of the three specials. It doesn't tell us much, as it is simply Ben about to transform during night time. But it at least confirms that the Omnitrix won't be getting another design in these upcoming episodes.

The sketch so far features a slender Fasttrack wearing clothes. His lightning bolt on his chest is much more pronounced and his face is much more angular. He has pupils and an arrow on his forehead.

"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.

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 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.

How does Cannonbolt see while in ball form?

how-can-cannonbolt-see-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.
