The Nature of Things Preview

Cartoon Network Africa has released a short preview of one of the new Season 2 episodes, The Nature of Things. In this episode Ben fights against Steam Smythe in a large robot who's trying to destroy nature. We get to see Ben using Diamondhead and Omni-Enhanced Four Arms. Gwen is also shown with a new hairstyle and cap. Check out the preview below!

Clear Picture of New Ben 10 Villain and Toys!

Attamai has released a new, clear picture of the new toys in Hong Kong. He said he will release a video about it shortly. From the picture we can see a tall villain with feet similar to Vilgax and a cape. He seems to be made out of purple energy and grey rocks, could it be a member of Shock Rock's species? Or perhaps Omni-Enhanced Vilgax?

EDIT: Atamaii has uploaded the video. It is now confirmed that Upgrade will come back in Season 3 and will be used to fight against the new villain below, who is not connected to any old villains in the past. It is also confirmed that Shock Rock is the reason for the Omni-Enhancements. It is currently unknown what is armored Ben suppose to be.

We also have Upgrade Ben and Ben in a racing outfit with a scooter, the scooter one probably has no relevance but the Upgrade Ben one seems pretty mysterious. Is it based on mid transformations? A mutant? Clone? We have to find out.

New Ben 10 Toys: Upgrade Ben, Malgax and Omnitrix Ben?

In a new image that Atamaii posted from a Hong Kong toy fair, it reveals an image of toys we know are coming out such as Shock Rock and Omni-Enhanced aliens, along with three anomilaties that we haven't seen anywhere yet. It features what appears to be Upgrade fused with Ben, a new knight-like alien and Ben in a green and black suit.

Upgtade Ben, Malgax and Omnitrix Ben?

Upgrade Ben has Ben's main body with Upgrade's colors and pattern covering him. He has large eyes and has a skateboard, but that could just be a generic accessory as Ben Tennyson figures in the past, specifically made by Bandai, came with a skateboard accessory that's suppose to resemble a hoverboard. Could this be the Ben 10 reboot's version of Upgrade Rex?

Ultimate Cannonbolt

"Maybe I got something that could work better!" - Cannonbolt before assuming his Ultimate form in Too Hot to Handle

Ultimate Cannonbolt is the evolved version of an Arburian Pelarota. Ultimate Cannonbolt first appeared in the episode Too Hot to Handle where he held P'andor in place while Kevin locks him in his containment suit. Ultimate Cannonbolt is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.

Happy Anniversary to Ben 10!

 
The first ever episode of Ben 10, And Then There Were 10, aired twelve years ago today. Since then the franchise has exploded in popularity and has gotten sequels, two live action movies, comic books, a reboot and a whole lot of toys.

Ben 10 has gotten me into the world of cartoons, while I thought it was weird at first, eventually I really gotten into the franchise with its amazing monster designs, fun adventures and great fights and characters. From Ben to Vilgax, original to Omniverse, I keep the franchise close to heart. Sure, it has a lot of flaws, but that doesn't ruin my eternal love for this show. Since the first episode of Alien Force I have been a loyal fan to the franchise, watching and reading everything Ben 10 related, and dedicated this blog to my favorite show. I live Ben 10.

I know that Ben 10 is special to many of you guys reading this blog, and I hope you guys have just as many great memories of the franchise as me. Happy Anniversary Ben 10!

Ultimate Albedo

"Now I see the universe for what it is: We are all dust, bound by one enormous, universal force. No, not universal, not even multiversal, this omniversal force continues forever, in every direction through every reality. My lust for power, my jealousy of Azmuth, it isn't just evil, ultimately; it's pointless. I could never truly destroy you. You would only have not been not unexistent in what could have not now been the past, present, and partial future. To tear down and destroy is of no consequence or quality; to create is divine."  - Ultimate Albedo in For A Few Brains More

Ultimate Albedo is the Ultimate version of Albedo's Galvan form. He was first used in the Ben 10: Omniverse episode The Ultimate Heist where Albedo was able to assume the form after completing his Ultimatrix.

Japanese Ben 10 Toy Review

Pretty random but a popular Japanese toy review channel called Leon Channel, who usually reviews toys related to Kamen Rider and Yo-kai Watch, has posted a review about Playmates' two Omnitrix toys. He compares the toy to a Yo-kai Watch and says "Henshin!" before transforming similar to a Kamen Rider. Check it out!

Ben 10 Reboot Season 3 Speculation

We're not far into Season 2 of the Ben 10 reboot yet, but I think it would be fun to analyze some sketches done by Kaitrin Snodgrass. Keep in mind, these are just sketches and probably don't mean anything, I'm just overthinking things.

This picture shows Ben and Gwen preparing to fight. Gwen is shown being able to fire some sort of roundish plate. This might mean she will learn how to use magic later on in the series, much like in the original Ben 10/
