Hippopotamass Design and Powers Revealed

Tom Perkins has designed another new alien. This time it's Hippopotamass, or as he spelt it, Hippopotomass. This is one of the many joke aliens Matt Wayne came up with during Ben 10: Omniverse's run.

Hippopotamass

Hippopotamass is a blue hippo-like alien that is able to change density of himself or objects near him using yellow energy that he projects from his arms. He has three eyes, with one of them on his forehead, which glows yellow when he uses his powers.  He wears the Omnitrix on his neckbrace. 

Tom Perkins also made a second version of Hippopotamass.

Second design for HIppopotamass

In the second design, he has much more bulky and has lighter skin. His eyes doesn't glow and he has stubby feet covered b his costume. His eyes doesn't glow and his yellow energy is differently shaped. His neckbrace only covers the back of his head. 

Hippopotomass isn't the first joke alien that was given a design by Tom Perkins. The character designer previously designed Bungee Gum, who you can view here.

Braindrain and Bungee Sponge Designs Revealed

Tom Perkins just keeps on giving. This time he shows off designs for Braindrain and Bungee Sponge. Bungee Sponge is one of the many joke aliens Matt Wayne came up with during Ben 10: Omniverse, while Braindrain is an Ormerowon, a zombie species that's been mentioned in the original series. Check them out below.

Braindrain

Braindrain is zombie alien from the planet Anur Ormerow in the Anur System. His species was mentioned in Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix at the end of the movie. Braindrain is only accessible to Ben 10,000 and he is able to drain the life-force from enemies and temporarily turn them into zombified minions. We can see green electricity coming out of his body, presumably life-energy.

Bungee Sponge

During Ben 10: Omniverse run, Matt Wayne joked about an alien named Bungee Sponge that Ben unlocked when he was 11 years old as an example of underpowered aliens that he moved on from. Tom Perkins' take on Bungee Sponge gave him two very long arms on his back, presumably to allow him to bungee jump off high places. He would be accessible by Ben 10,000.

What do you think of Braindrain and Bungee Sponge?

New Aliens Funguy and Terrorsaur REVEALED

Funguy

First up we have Funguy. Funguy is able to generate and release laughing gas from the pores on his arms. Funguy is not a Living Mushroo, but he is from the planet Flors Verdance, the same planet Wildvine's species, Floraunas, Tom Perkins would pick Greg Cipes to voice him.

Terrorsaur

Next we have Terrorsaur.This pterodactyl-like alien is capable of flight and is able to induce psychic hallucinations into his opponents. Terrorsaur wears the Omnitrix on his chest.

Sandbox, Snakepit and Shellhead Designs and Powers Revealed

Sandbox, Snakepit, Shellhead, Toepick and Atomix were aliens that were mentioned in the original series episode Ken 10. Out of these five, Toepick and Atomix would appear in Ben 10: Omniverse. However, Sandbox, Snakepit and Shellhead would only remain as mentioned aliens that are in Ken Tennyson's Omnitrix. Tom Perkins, one of the designers from the original series, went on Twitter and showed off his illustrations of how he would had designed Sandbox, Snakepit and Shellhead if they had appeared in the original Ben 10, along with their powers. Check them out below.

Snakepit

The first future Ben 10 alien that Thomas Perkins posted was Snakepit. A lot of fans speculated that he could be a member of Ssserpent's species, but it isn't so. Snakepit has three snake heads coming out of a broken egg-like torso with three-fingered arms and two-toed legs. Snakepit is able to shoot lightning-like yellow lasers from his eyes that will temporarily petrify opponents, similar to Medusa turning people to stone. He wore the Omnitrix on his chest.

Ventrilosquid Concept Sketch

Derrick J. Wyatt, who worked on Ben 10: Omniverse as the art director, showed his first concept sketch for Ventrilosquid. An alien that was mentioned by Matt Wayne on his forums a couple times. The alien never made a physical appearance and is described as having some sort of telekinesis and ventriloquism. Check out the image below.

Ventrilosquid

So far, he looks like a squid with hair and gills. His tentacles resemble sock puppets and the Omnitrix is on his "chest" with two nodes sticking out of it, similar to Toepick's. It is unknown what his color scheme will be. 

Derrick is drawing Ventrilosquid as the $4,000 tier goal on his GoFundMe, which successfully reached its goal of $5,000 to get an Omniverse-styled Fasttrack.

Vilgax to Get the Antitrix in Ben 10 Versus the Universe

A promo for Ben 10 Versus the Universe may had accidentally spoiled a plot point in the movie. The promo shows Ben in his Space Armor analyzing Vilgax, however the art used shows Vilgax with his cape, constellation patterns and... the Antitrix?!

The Antitrix has grown much large in size to fit Vilgax's wrist. The faceplate has changed from a "K" to a "V".

The trailer shows of Kevin merged with Glitch, with Vilgax increasing in size using some cosmic power, however, Vilgax doesn't appear to be wearing the Antitrix. It's unknown whether he took it off, or has yet to wear it. Kevin wearing Glitch could imply that he doesn't have access to his aliens.

Omniverse Jetray Design Revealed

Derrick J. Wyatt, the former art director of Ben 10: Omniverse, started a GoFundMe where he'll design various aliens that never appeared in Omniverse in the show's art style. So far, the GoFundMe has reached its first major goal, an Omniverse design for Jetray.

Omniverse Jetray

Jetray's skin is more pink in color, similar to Swift, a Human / Aerophibian hybrid. His crest is much larger and now has a third potrusion in the middle. His chest is now defined and he only has four gills instead of six, the gills are also lightning-shaped. Jetray now wear black suspenders with green circles that connects to his green shorts. The Omnitrix symbol is still on his chest.

Jetray would be second goal reached in the GoFundMe, the first being a young version of Ghostfreak.

Fasttrack would be the last alien that previously appeared in previous Ben 10 shows that would need an Omniverse design. Fasttrack is currently the most expensive goal in the GoFundMe, sitting at $5,000.

A very short scene shows Azmuth turning the dial of the Omnitrix, making the screen turn orange and display the number 17 in a stylized yellow font. 17 is the amount of aliens Ben previously transformed to, if one includes Gax and Upgrade.

Toepick Feature Figure Review

toepick-feature-figure-toy-review
Toepick Feature Figure's Face

Toepick is a 6 inch figure from wave 2 of the feature figure toy line in Ben 10: Omniverse. By pressing the button on his back, Toepick's eyes will push helmet open, revealing his face and gruesome eyes. The figure comes with a voice box that is compatible with the Omnitrix Touch.

Looks


The Toepick figure is one of the larger figures, and has a different mold compared to his regular articulated toy. I feel like the green for his helmet and armor is a little too swampy compared to the one in Omniverse. The metallic extensions next to the Omnitrix is also a little too light. Its also missing the middle middle part of the protrusions with light green coloring. His eyes on the helmet are also a little too large. Bandai also didn't color the three small bolts on top of his helmet/collar or the bottom part of the pipes. They also didn't color in his keyhole.

Snare-oh Figure Toy Review

Snare-oh is a 4 inch action figure from Ben 10: Omniverse. He comes with a translucent green mini-figure that is compatible with the Omnitrix Shuffle. When used with the Omnitrix Shuffle, the toy will shout Snare-oh's name and you can hear his bandage sound effect when you shake the Omnitrix.

snare-oh toy-figure-review-omnicoid

Looks


This is our first Snare-oh figure since the original series (back when he's known as Benmummy). Now with his Omniverse figure, this figure looks quite accurate to the show. I like his shiny gold paint and eyes on his shoulders. They even sculpted in all the bents his bandages have, like the ones on his back or his fingers. My biggest complaint about it is Snare-oh bottom is not colored in. His mini-figure has a surprising amount of detail on it despite its size.

Articulation


Snare-oh has nine points of articulation. He can rotate his arms 360, though it gets stuck on his bandages, however the bandages are rubbery so its not really a problem. I don't recommend dong it though. He has can bend at his elbows. He can lift his legs forward but not so much backwards. He can bend at his knees. His head is on a ball joint, so you can make him look 360 degrees and slightly upwards and downwards.  

Trivia

  • Snare-oh is one of the few Ben 10 action figures that has a ball joint. Some others includes Spidermonkey and Crashhopper.
