Tom Perkins has dropped a new alien design. This alien is named L'Goon, he's a Millgan from the planet Anur Millgan. The planet is a canon, but unseen and is only mentioned in pop-up trivia in the original series.
 |
| L'Goon |
L'Goon is a humanoid sea monster with the ability to breathe underwater and presumably good at swimming. Tom Perkins made an alternate design for L'Goon, where he is depicted as a muscular shark-like alien.

During the run of Omniverse, Derrick J. Wyatt, the art director of the show, drew some sketches of how Aggregor could had looked in the art style. On his ko-fi, Derrick has posted the full colored version of the unofficial redesign.
 |
| Aggregor's Omniverse Redesign |
An early idea for the Rooters arc in Omniverse would have had Aggregor return. Aggregor would had seek out Kevin and reveal himself as an experiment made by the Rooters to replicate Kevin's powers. At some point, Aggregor would had died by having his genetic code slowly breaking down, turning him into ooze.
Aggregor was mentioned by name in The Frogs of War: Part 1 and The Ballad of Mr. Baumann.
Wbat do you think of Aggregor's Omniverse design?
Tom Perkins has designed another new unofficial alien on his Twitter. This time it's a monstrous looking alien named Lurk, an alien exclusive to Ben 10,000.

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.
Out of nowhere, a DLC expansion pack focusing on the Ben 10 reboot has been released on all current generation versions of Minecraft. The new Minecraft DLC primarily focuses on season 4 of the Ben 10 reboot.

The DLC allows players to transform into one out of ten aliens that Ben has accessible in season 4, each with a unique ability. It also comes with a custom map for players to explore with some familiar locations, multiple enemies from the show as well as multiple skins.

Amusingly, the DLC includes skins for original series Ben, Alien Force Ben and Omniverse Ben with his white hoodie.
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.
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 without the Omnitrix |
Alien X-tinction will air in the US on April 11, 2021.
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 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.
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.

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.

The commercial also states that Ben 10,000 in the reboot is just an alternate future, not Ben's definitive future.
 |
| Alternate Max in Alien X-tinction |
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 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.
 |

 |
| 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, Cannonbolt and Rex Salazar |
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.
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 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 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.
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.

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.
 |
| The Celestialsapien villain on the CN mural |
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.
Tom Perkins has posted more new designs for joke alien names Matt Wayne came up with during Ben 10: Omniverse. This time they are Somnambulizard and Skidmarx.

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.

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.

On ask.fm, Derrick J. Wyatt has shown his current sketch of his Fasttrack Omniverse redesign. Fasttrack is the current canon alien to not have an Omniverse version yet, and fans has been waiting for a long time for Derrick to draw him, which lead to a GoFundMe that raised $5000 to get Derrick to draw his least favorite alien.
 |
| Fasttrack in Omniverse sketch |
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. He wears fingerless gloves and shoes, which exposes his toes. It appears that the Omnitrix is intended to go on his chest.
Keep in mind that this is just a sketch, so his design may change a little in the final product.
A new image for Ben 10,010 that showcases future Gwen and the alien invaders has been revealed. The image shows that the alien invaders are purple. bulky humanoid aliens with pink X's on their face. These aliens are presumably able to shapeshift judging by the first teaser.

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:
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.
