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?

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. Ultimate Albedo would then be the main alien Albedo would use in his next few episodes, where he steals Azmuth's intelligence. Ultimate Albedo is voiced by Eric Bauza.

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/

Ben 10 Season 2: Upgrade is Dead, Episode Scenes and Omni-Enhanced XLR8!

Cartoon Network Africa has released a new Meet the Aliens video featuring the Omni-Enhanced aliens and Shock Rock.

A lot of fans wonder why hasn't Ben transform into Upgrade yet, even I questioned why he didn't appear during Animo's mutation in Animorphosis. The video confirms that Upgrade is completely gone from the Omnitrix, sacrificing himself in order to upgrade it and add Omni-Enhancements. So I guess Upgrade died!

The video also contains scenes from upcoming episodes, including:
  • Omni-Enhanced Stinkfly fighting Zombozo in the Rustbucket
  • Omni-Enhanced Heatblast fighting Vilgax's drones
  • Transformations for Omni-Enhanced Four Arms and Omni-Enhanced Overflow, both of which are from The 11th Alien two parter.
