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.

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.

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.

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.

 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.

 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.

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.

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.

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.

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-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.

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.
