Ultimate Alien Ben 10
Ultimate Alien takes place one year after this is where you could say that the people were starting to run out of ideas for aliens. While the majority of the aliens introduced in this series are quite original there are couple that are blatant ripoffs of older aliens. More on that later. The series generally revolves around Ben's Team doing the same kind of things they did in Alien Force but now with a twist. Ben's identity as Ben 10 has been made public and Ben is now world famous (because Ben needed to stroke his ego more).
Well it took us 99 episodes or 7 seasons or 4.5 years but we finally got an alien that can control water. Water Hazard is an Orishan from the Andromeda Galaxy. Though Ben obtained Water hazard's DNA sample in Fame, its not until 6 episodes later in Too Hot to Handle that Ben actually uses him. Also don't expect to see him in the reboot because he goes by the name Overflow in that.
In the episode Fame Water Hazard's DNA sample, Bivalvan, showed that his armored exoskeleton is so hard that bullets seemingly bounce off it. This was revealed in security footage "a few months ago".
He was then able to use two pressurized water blasts to defeat two security guards before using another to destroy the security camera.
Later in the episode Bivalvan was able to survive a beatdown from Kevin before being able to propel both Kevin and Gwen into the air with his water blasts.
Ben tried to attack him but was quickly stopped in his tracks. Things got interesting when Ben was able to turn into Chromastone but Bivalvan just used his water blasts and manipulated the current to push Chromastone into some circuit boards.
Ben uses Water Hazard for the first time in Too Hot to Handle in hopes of trying to get Pandor to leave Earth. When that fails Water Hazard uses his water blasts to attack him but Pandor merely dodges. Water Hazard is able to land a direct hit but is then forced to tank a nuclear 'bolt' which sent him into the building so fast it caused all the windows to shatter.
Ultimatrix
After Ben blew up his Omnitrix to save the world, he stole Albedo's Ultimatrix. The Ultimatrix is a new and improved version of the Omnitrix. This is due to Albedo adding an evolutionary feature which allows Ben to 'evolve' his aliens.
The Ultimatrix also has a scan function to obtain DNA samples that are not within its database. Only problem is that while the Original Omnitrix was able to catalogue DNA very quickly; that is not the case here. For some reason the Ultimatrix is able to scan the DNA quickly but it is not able to copy it until a few minutes later which leaves Ben wide open.
The scan function can act as a defensive measure against electrical attacks as shown in the episode Fused.
The Ultimatrix functions like a Plumber badge so it would include all of the following features:
In the same episode it is revealed that the Ultimatrix has a lock function to prevent outsiders from turning Ben back into a human form. This lock function either only works when Ben is in alien form or much more likely Ben has to activate it manually and forgot to do so in the episode Victor: The Spoils as King Xarion was able to turn Ben into an alien and then continue to quick change him until Ben was the alien Xarion wanted.
The Ultimatrix also works as a communicator.
Like the previous version of the Omnitrix, the Ultimatrix has a fail-safe which prevents Ben from being killed in alien form. This is shown in the episode Ben 10,000 Returns in which Way Big is completely reduced to dust yet Ben himself is fine.
The Ultimatrix has various codes which I will list:
As shown in Simian Says the Ultimatrix can be interfered with which prevents Ben from changing but the only technology to be able to do so in the Ben 10 Universe are other versions of the Omnitrix such as the Omnitrix and the Unitrix.
In the same episode the Ultimatrix was also used to repair genetic damage. However after doing so it's remaing energy was depleted and the Ultimatrix had to recharge.
The Flame Keeper's Circle reveals that Ben can turn into at least 63 different aliens.
Despite being created by Albedo, whose intelligence rivals Azmuth, the Ultimatrix is not perfect and is prone to glitches. For example one particular glitch in The Ultimate Sacrifice allowed the Ultimates to gain sentience and after a period of time the glitch shut the Ultimatrix off sucking both Ben and Sentient Ultimate Humungousaur back into it.
Huh, I haven't actually talked about the quick change function on the Ultimatrix yet. While all incarnations of the Omnitrix have it the Ultimatrix allowed Ben to transform into four different aliens in quick succession.
As stated by Sentient Ultimate Humungousaur the Ultimatrix is controlled through Ben's mind. While this may not hold water initially, it makes sense when you think about it. Ben may not get the aliens he wants but he always gets the aliens that benefit him in battle and are suited for the situation. It also explains why it is able to quick change Ben when he is in grave danger such as when Vilgax killed Chromastone or when he was about to be possessed by Zs'skayr.
As revealed in Inspector 13 the Ultimatrix has a Master Control. The same episode revealed the Ultimatrix can also be hacked which is how Master Control got unlocked in the first place. It was also revealed that the Ultimatrix had a locator which could be tracked.
At the end of the Ultimate Alien finale Azmuth destoryed the Ultimatrix to give Ben the finalized version of the Omnitrix (which is ironically inferior to all previous incarnations. More on that later though).
The scan function can act as a defensive measure against electrical attacks as shown in the episode Fused.
The Ultimatrix functions like a Plumber badge so it would include all of the following features:
- A universal translator (which is how Ben is able to speak an understandable language while in alien form)
- A radiation detector
- Can be used to receive messages on Plumber's channels
- It can also transmit messages and open up communications channel to contact other Plumbers.
In the same episode it is revealed that the Ultimatrix has a lock function to prevent outsiders from turning Ben back into a human form. This lock function either only works when Ben is in alien form or much more likely Ben has to activate it manually and forgot to do so in the episode Victor: The Spoils as King Xarion was able to turn Ben into an alien and then continue to quick change him until Ben was the alien Xarion wanted.

The Ultimatrix has various codes which I will list:
- Abort Reset Code 10 (aborts reset though still needs sufficent power to accomplish this as shown in Simian Says).
- User Access Voice Recognition Mode (allows Ben to change into aliens by using his voice)
- Ultimatrix Hard Reset (Resets the Ultimatrix and does this in the span of a second)
As shown in Simian Says the Ultimatrix can be interfered with which prevents Ben from changing but the only technology to be able to do so in the Ben 10 Universe are other versions of the Omnitrix such as the Omnitrix and the Unitrix.
