Lurk is able to manipulate and hide in shadows. His face is actually a re-use of one of the Nemetrix alien cocnept art Tom Perkins did during Ben 10: Omniverse' early stages.

Tom Perkins draws Mealymouth!

Tom Perkins, who worked on the Ben 10 franchise as a character designer, is back with another new alien design. This time it's Mealymouth, another alien that Matt Wayne, writer of Ben 10: Omniverse, came up with as a joke name. Mealymouth (or Meely Mouth) is a tall slender alien with multiple mouths on his face, giving of a creepy vibe. He has different amount of fingers on each hand and wears a black and white suit. He wears the Omnitrix on his stomach.

Mealymouth

Mealymouth is able to control peoples' minds using his voice, and each mouth has a different voice, as well as talk together at once. He is also a great liar.

Other alien names Matt Wayne came up with includes Hippopotamass, Somnabulizard, Skidmarx Bungee Sponge and Crabtastic.

Alien X with 11 Omnitrix symbols

A new short promo for Cartoon Network Arcade reveals new footage of Alien X in Alien X-tinction. It shows Alien X with three Omnitrix symbols on his chest, means he has eleven Omnitrix symbols on his body in total. He first stars off with just nine Omnitrix symbols, and then ten by the time he is fighting reboot Ben as Rath, and now he has eleven.

Alien X with eleven Omnitrixes

It is speculated that his eleventh Omnitrix belongs to reboot Ben, as Ben can be seen without his Omnitrix during the alien battle that features Alternate Max, reboot Max, reboot Gwen, Bloxx, AmpFibian, Chromastone and Ripjaws.

Ben Gen 10 Sneak Peak Preview

Today, a new preview for upcoming Ben 10 special, Ben Gen 10, has been released. You can see my breakdown on the preview here.

ben-gen-10-agent-six-rex-salazar

The preview starts of with Ben, who seems to had just timed out, facing Agent Six. Rex comes in with his B.F.S. and attacks Six.  It sounds like Agent Six has a new voice actor, presumably Vic Chao, who has hinted before that he would voice a special character.

Ben mentions that Rex has somehow broken his Omnitrix, presumably because Rex tried to "cure" Ben by touching his Omnitrix symbol when he thought he was an EVO, much like in Heroes United.
Rex battles Six, while Ben tries to get his Omnitrix to work, mentioning that this would be his last big adventure, which implies that Ben's summer road trip is coming to an end.

Big Chill and Chromastone confirmed for Alien X-tinction

Two new short advertisements has showed new footage of Alien X-tinction and Ben Gen 10. You can see my breakdown on the promos here.
The trailer shows our first look at Alternate Max's face and voice. Alternate Max's design is based on future Max's first design in the original series. as evidenced by his beard. His voice sounds gruff and deep, so it's unlikely that it's Paul Eiding.

alien-x-tinction-max-af-ben-reboot
Teen Ben, Alternate Max, Gwen and Grandpa Max
There is a new scene where we see all the Bens and Gwen 10 in a cave, with Omniverse Ben saying that they should synchronize their powers together. It sounds like Yuri Lowenthal has reprises his role as him. Also, UA and AF Ben both have blue jeans, unlike the last trailer. So this either means that UA Ben will change into green pants in Alien X-tinction to differentiate himself more, or it was simply a coloring error. 

ben-10-alien-x-tinction-reboot
The Bens, Gwens and Max
We also got confirmation that Chromastone will be used in Alien X-tinction by Alien Force Ben. Chromastone's arm can be seen next to Alternate Max when Team Tennyson are preparing for battle, along with Omniverse Ben, Ultimate Alien Ben and original series Ben as Bloxx, AmpFibian and Ripjaws, respectively.

In another promo advertising Cartoon Network Arcade, we see footage of Ben transforming next to Rex and Bobo, and another scene where Max hugging Gwen and Ben, it is unknown which episode this footage is from. In the app itself, we can see silhouettes for characters that will appear in the three upcoming specials, such as Surge, President Gwen in armor, Agent Six, Rex, the Xerge in combat form and Bloxx. There is one interesting silhouette in the line-up, that being Big Chill, which confirms that Big Chill will be appearing physically in Alien X-tinction by Alien Force Ben, and not just as a hologram.

Alien X-tinction is airing in the US on April 11, 2021.

Bens from every Ben 10 series returns in Alien X-tinction

A new trailer advertising the upcoming Ben 10 specials has showed new footage from Ben Gen 10 and Alien X-tinction. You can watch my breakdown of the trailer here.

We got our first animated look at Agent Six in the reboot, Rex rushing through the sky with his B.F.S. and Rex building the Smack Hands with Bobo. 

ben-gen-10-vilgax-reboot
A comparison between Hex and Vilgax's alien armies
 We also see a scene where Rex, Humungousaur, Agent Six and Bobo are facing against Hex and his army of humans who he had turned into Ben's aliens, but with red eyes and no Omnitrix symbol. Hex's army of aliens is similar to Vilgax's plan in the reboot episode Super Villain Team Up.

The commercial also states that Ben 10,000 in the reboot is just an alternate future, not Ben's definitive future.

alternate-max-ben-10-alien-x-tinction
Alternate Max in Alien X-tinction
 As for Alien X-tinction, we get to see Alien X coming to reboot Ben's dimension via a pink portal and reboot Rath fighting him. It should be noted that during this scene, Alien X has 10 Omnitrix symbols instead of nine. 

In one scene, we can see that Gwen is tied up near a landslide, with Ben transforming using his newly upgraded Omnitrix. We then see the alternate Max that has been mentioned in the synopsis, he looks similar to reboot Max, except his jeans are tucked into his boots, he wears a brown sash instead of a jacket and he has a robotic arm that is seen as a blaster. His robotic arm is a reference to future Max in the original series.

ben-10-alien-extinction
Ben from all of the classic series, featuring Gwen 10

The trailer also shows that every iteration of Ben Prime will be appearing in Alien X-Tinction, as well as Gwen 10 from the episode of the same name, not the Omniverse version, as evident from her Omnitrix design and skin color. They are all drawn to fit the reboot's art style.

Ben Gen 10 Trailer Featuring Rex Salazar and Bobo Haha

rex-salazar-ben-gen-10-reboot
Rex Salazar in the Ben 10 reboot
A trailer for Ben Gen 10 has been leaked on Twitter. Ben Gen 10 is the second movie event in season 5 of the Ben 10 reboot. It features a young Generator Rex teaming up with Ben Tennyson in order to defeat Hex who wants to use a broken Omnitrix to infect people with alien DNA. You can watch an analysis of the Ben Gen 10 trailer here.

rex-salazar-bobo-haha-ben-gen-10
Rex Salazar and Bobo Haha in the Ben 10 reboot

The trailer shows Rex and Bobo Haha mistaking Cannonbolt as an EVO, they run away from the alien as Ben is mad that his smore is gone. Cannonbolt catches Rex, and Bobo tries to fight off Cannonbolt to no avail. Rex then confesses that he and Bobo ate Ben's smore, causing Cannonbolt to rage. Rex then uses his powers to build the Big Fat Sword and attacks Ben, surprising himself that he managed to build it.

bobo-haha-rex-salazar-ben-gen-10-reboot

It is evident from the trailer that Rex is still learning how to use his powers, as he prayed for his nanites to work properly in order to build his machine. Daryl Sabara and John DiMaggio reprses their roles as Rex and Bobo Haha, respectively, with the two of them sounding younger than their original counterparts. 

Alien X-Tintion Trailer and New Omnitrix Revealed

Cartoon Network has released a trailer for Alien X-Tinction on their Twitter. This is the third and final special for season 5 of the Ben 10 reboot. You can watch a video about its trailer here.

alien-x-ben-10-reboot-transformation
Alien X in the Ben 10 reboot

Alien X-Tinction will feature Ben finding an alternate Max, and will have Ben teaming up with multiple versions of Bens and Gwens to create an alien army to combat the villainous Alien X.
Alien X resembles his Alien Force appearance, except he is much larger and has glowing green eyes. He has nine Omnitrix symbols, one on each shoulder, three on each arm and one on his left peck.
The trailer shows Ben telling Grandpa Max to avoid getting stepped on by Alien X. Ben transforms into Cannonbolt, remarking that he knows how to use his Omnitrix, Alien X replies that he also knows how to use the device, and throws Cannonbolt into the Rustbucket, crushing it. 

alien-x-reboot-x-tinction
Alien X morphed his arm into a sharp dagger

This may hint that Alien X is actually an evil Omnitrix user, He also has nine Omnitrix symbols, and it is likely that he wants to collect reboot Ben's Omnitrix to get ten, which may grant him great power.
In the preview, Alien X uses his enhanced strength to hit away Grandpa and Cannonbolt, and used his shapeshifting abilities to morph his arm into a sharp dagger.


Alien X remarks that Max always tries to interfere, which may refer to alternate versions of Max trying to get in his way, which would line up with the mentioned Max in the synopsis.

Ben Gen 10 Promo Art with Generator Rex Characters Revealed + Alien X-Tinction Villain

Promo art for Ben Gen 10, the second special in season 5 of the Ben 10 reboot, has been revealed. In it we get to see the designs for Rex Salazar, Bobo Haha and Agent Six in the Ben 10 art style. This will be the second animated crossover between the two shows, with the first being Heroes United that aired in 2011.

ben-gen-10-reboot-generator-rex
Ben Gen 10 promo art featuring Rex, Bobo Haha and Agent Six
The art shows Rex Salazar, who is now a kid, with Ben. Rex is shown with his BFS (Big Fat Sword) Nanite build, though it is noticeably smaller. His head and hair are more rounded and the blue on his shirt is now black. The stripes on his jacket are noticeably thinner and his sleeve no longer has orange on it. His jacket also now has a grey zipper. 

Bobo Haha looks younger and more rounded. Agent Six is shown wearing his combat uniform instead of his suit. 

The logo shows a combination of Ben and Rex's titles as well as color schemes.

The poster confirms that Hex will be the main villain of this special.

The synopsis for this special reads:

Ben meets a young Generator Rex and works through a series of misunderstandings. But when a dark wizard Hex uses a malfunctioning Omnitrix to infect people with alien DNA, Ben must defeat him to save the world.

The synopsis seems to imply that Ben's Omnitrix is going to be malfunctioning in the special, though it may actually be referring to the Antitrix. 

In other news, a new synopsis for Alien X-Tinction has been released, revealing that the main villain for the special is going to be named Alien X. Due to his name, it is unknown if Ben will actually transform into a Celestialsapien in the special.

alien-x-tinction-ben-10-reboot-episode

The Tennysons attacked by a villainous, dimension-hopping Alien X. With help from a parallel universe version of Max, they bring multiple Bens and Gwens together to form an alien hero army and combat this threat.  

On the CN Mural, an evil looking Celestialsapien with red eyes and a mouth can be seen, with Ben's own Alien X looking at it. It is very likely that he is the villain in Alien X-Tinction.

Ben Gen 10 and Alien X-Tinction are going to in the United States in April 2021.

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.

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".

duncan-rouleau-ben-10-crossover

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

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.
