What If Ben 10 Got the Ultimatrix First?
The Impact of the Omnitrix and Ultimatrix in Ben 10
Introduction to the Omnitrix
- The series begins with a strong inciting incident: the Omnitrix crashing to Earth, which sets a dynamic tone for the show.
- The Omnitrix is created by Azmouth, allowing transformation into various alien species whose DNA is stored within it.
The Creation of the Ultimatrix
- In contrast, the Ultimatrix is developed by Albo, Azmouth's assistant, after being denied access to the original device.
- The Ultimatrix features alternate forms created through simulations of worst-case scenarios over millions of years, tailored for combat.
Alternate Timeline Concept
- In this revised timeline, Albo secretly works on the Ultimatrix while Azmouth prepares to send off the Omnitrix.
- A scuffle ensues between Azmouth and Albo; ultimately, Azmouth sends off the Ultimatrix instead of the Omnitrix.
Ben's Transformation with the Ultimatrix
- Upon landing on Earth, the Ultimatrix attaches itself to Ben. He triggers an ultimate feature transforming into Ultimate Diamond Head.
- This new form resembles Chromestone and has enhanced powers; however, it sacrifices some abilities like body molding.
Changes in Classic Aliens' Abilities
- Each classic alien undergoes notable changes:
- Heat Blast becomes less humanoid and gains armor-like volcanic rocks.
- Wildvine can create smoke screens for tactical advantages.
- Accelerate increases speed significantly without losing core abilities.
Further Transformations and Plot Developments
- Forearms shifts towards a purple hue with new muscle manipulation abilities inspired by My Hero Academia's muscular character.
- Rip Jaws grows massive but struggles outside water due to size constraints; Upgrade gains technopathy instead of fusion capabilities.
Ghost Freak's Evolution
- Ghost Freak evolves into an eldritch horror figure with visible tendrils and a portal-like body that hints at a nightmare realm beneath.

Ben's Confrontation with Vilgax and Albo
Initial Conflict
- Vilgax confronts Ben, showcasing his superiority by utilizing the base form of any alien, leveraging his Galvan intelligence to outsmart Ben until he activates an ultimate form.
- Vilgax crashes down on Ben while he is in the form of Ultimate Heat Blast, shattering volcanic rock and knocking him unconscious, reverting him back to human.
Captivity and Villain Monologue
- Ben regains consciousness during transit to Galvin Prime, where Albo reveals his desire for the Ultimatrix over the original Omnitrix.
- Grandpa Max realizes that they need more than just their ship; they require all plumbers to combat the dual threat posed by both Vilgax and Albo.
The Plumbers' Response
- An all-out war ensues between Vilgax's army and the plumbers as Albo attempts to seize the Ultimatrix from Ben.
- During a confrontation, voices emerge from Ben blaming Albo for their predicament as he rapidly shifts between alien forms.
Internal Struggle within the Ultimatrix
- Inside the Ultimatrix, a scenario reminiscent of "Ultimate Sacrifice" unfolds where Albo faces off against furious ultimates who blame him for their entrapment.
- As chaos ensues, Bart helps Ben escape while others prepare to sacrifice Albo in hopes of destroying the Omnitrix linked to their suffering.
Resolution and Aftermath
- Despite pleas from Ben highlighting Albo's wrongdoings but asserting he doesn't deserve death, ultimates express remorse yet insist on revenge against both Albo and Omnitrix.
- Grandpa Max intervenes through communication with Azmouth who dismantles the device while handing over a prototype to Ben for future use.
Long-term Implications
- The series continues with altered dynamics due to earlier villain involvement; Vilgax is imprisoned after being overwhelmed by plumbers following season one events.
- Future encounters may involve ultimates like Ghost Freak or Princess Luma influencing character arcs based on this timeline shift.
