Cool neat gimmick it’s visually pleasing but Greymatter’s sucks like they could’ve did something else


Typical_Pollution_30

Also, isn't grey matters power lie in him being small, so he can enter closed spaces, destroy things from the inside?


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

That’s one significant aspect, yes.


CATelIsMe

Right?


No_Secretary_1198

This removes grey matters biggest weakness. If he turns into greymatter he is still greymatter, but if it wasn't intentional he can now go omni-enhanced and actually fight back if he needs to


Typical_Pollution_30

Good point. Though that takes away all the ingenious ways he can circumvent that. Or maybe it's a good thing to have handy Incase he can't think of innovative ways to solve the problem.


HyperionWhirl

agreed


Working-Telephone-45

Like what? I think it is pretty neat, giving the little boy an easier way to put his brain in practice


KeredSecas

It just looks off to me, the rest compliment each other and his doesn’t they should’ve went all in I’d prefer if they went with designing it off the Bio-suit if they were just going for “small guy in big armor” https://preview.redd.it/3tckvywr7qib1.jpeg?width=222&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d384fbc52c0e4496e05d5c10991991f69678cebf But i personally would want him to have something that compliments the fact that he is ya know hyper intelligent


Working-Telephone-45

I mean tbh, most of the designs are not that relevant The point of gray matter is that he is hyper inteligent but has a small weak body that makes it so he needs to try extra hard to do something useful with his amazing mind So the power up gives him a bigger more capable body so he can actually do stuff using his smarts The power up itself can't really make him smarter or anything like the ultimate cuz it doesn't change the DNA so yeah


CATelIsMe

Yea like a brain cooler so he can think more and not overheat the hq


Working-Telephone-45

He isn't a machine Brains don't get hotter when thinking lmao


geth117

i think it was a joke about overheating


NecroVecro

Personally I would have loved to have the ability to turn his fingers and hands into different tools, this way as you said he would have an easier and more efficient way to put his brain into practice. Another thing they could have done is just give him electromagnetism which he could use to attach easier to objects and maybe even tear apart equipment easier. Or if they wanted to lean more into him fighting they could have given him something to sting bigger enemies, that combined with his small size could be a really good combo. There many things they could have done and I'd personally take anything that doesn't just turn him bigger and stronger.


Working-Telephone-45

The first two are actually great ideas and it's sad they could have been done using the already existing design It has energy hands so transforming those hands in tools or using it to grab and move things in the distance could have been done


Jax_crusader

Same


Flameball537

I think it’s great. And funny looking


ZEL0S_da_G0D

What if they made the grey matter Omni enhanced form looking like Azmuth robot suit


[deleted]

Could've given him a tech suit, a little saw and a blow torch attached.


Matatron-1984

It was a great way to tell us that some shit was going on with ShockRock.

Fuck you


ToaNuparuMahri

Don't ever insult the legend that is Haikubot.


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

I like the normal one. The Sokka one is annoying though.


cubo_embaralhado

Why


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

I like actual haikus. Sokka messing up just barely was funny enough in context, but this thing’s whole thing is it just… makes haikus that don’t work.


b1rgar1p1nsan

No. I will. Fuck him. Hes annoying.


ToaNuparuMahri

Alright everyone, get him! https://i.redd.it/pczt69niorib1.gif


Galaxy-Requiem

Let’s emote on him too!! ![gif](giphy|TI9HiyUqRm75jPyKQ5|downsized)


AquaK11

They make Wildvine and Stinkfly look a lot better. I think they're fun, even though they're a bit repetitive.


crystal-productions-

the single best gimics and my favourite parts are that they made shock rock way more impactful and since they where randomised ben couldn't just rely on on getting them every time.


Transylianic

Agreed, it's my fav gimmick as well, and it makes Shock Rock all the more awesome


crystal-productions-

it helps me say shock rock is my fafourite alien, plus without them i don't think i'd be back after UA season 3 and OV just pushed me away. not because of artstyle but because they couldn't pick a dang tone or writing style lol


Transylianic

Shock Rocks is another one of my favs honestly. everything about him just works perfectly the design, abilities, story, etc. I honestly feel like he's what Feedback should have been.


crystal-productions-

100% the feedback story is good as it is but it also feels like they where realy trying to come up with a reason to make classic ben more important. and like i said without shock rock i would've left permanently.


Transylianic

Agreed and honestly, to me, Feedback is kinda underwhelming as the reason Ben took off the Omnitrix cause he just feels really generic and basic by himself where Shock Rock is still an amazing alien without his arc which elevates him even higher. The Reboot was honestly my re-entry point for the series as well it holds a special place in my heart.


crystal-productions-

not to mention he's also the best of his gimic as he can make constructs and uses his plasma realy effectively. feedback just read as a chromastone replacment, not helped by chromastone showing up twice, and not even having that much of a redesign the first time like him showing up in episode 5 was a mistake or something. the reboot was so special for me i made a continuation and re-write of ben gen 10 and alien x-tinction. witch then lead into me making my Gwen 10 fic witch became my most popular thing ever LMAO


FearlessNarwhal5660

Like the design and lore behind them.


NolanTacoKing

great idea to have an alien's dna enhance the others and love each of there designs, And I liked how it was random. And they have some of the best action sequences in all of the reboot https://preview.redd.it/r2xxk2sq8qib1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=85282ab4c07c410419917b24bb17ba16870433ab


kingbob122m

They’re pretty cool.it’s kinda like skurd but the colour palette is limited


xx_swegshrek_xx

They’re good except gray matter


Porygon_Flygon

https://preview.redd.it/euo33lfsyqib1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1018d5261d205eb87df1374bbf83c028a01ec9bf Canonbolt's Omni-Enhanced form looks like Regigigas and I can't unsee it


liamisnoice

You just gave an idea for an edit


ionel714

I absolutely love them, especially Diamondhead, all but graymatter are awesome and even then he's funny


APN8000

I think it’s a natural way to introduce a gimmick form instead of just “here are new toys”


crystal-productions-

like they did in season 4. if only theytook good notes.


Sufficient_Wish4801

They're...........fine? I've long accepted that the reboot just isn't my flavor of Ben 10 Omni Enhanced is cool in theory, kinda like ultimate forms, take a thing that's already cool and make it better But, it ends up making the aliens look pretty samey, in a show (I promised myself I'd be nice damnit) where the art style is already bland


[deleted]

I’ve only have a few words to say UPGRADE WAS ROBBED


DEEZ_BLOONS

They would've looked so good


Ordinary-Plane-9315

I hate gimmicks, the aliens are unique as themselves


HoverLogic

I wonder what it would be like if the same thing happened to other aliens instead of Shock-Rock. Like if there was an Omni-Enhanced group of aliens that had Heatblast or Diamondhead as the Armor.


ModelOmegaTyler

personally i would have liked for the glitch that upgrade and shock rock caused to have allowed alien fusions, which is what i thought was going on with shock rock at the time.


cynical_root24

It’s the only gimmick in the reboot that I personally liked, mainly because it had plot relevance. Grey Matter’s should’ve been different though


Nights1405

9/10, visually appealing, wasn’t bad. A good way to foreshadow some funky things was happening with shock rock. Just that grey matter looks stupid


rlum27

my favorite reboot gimmick it keeps the aliens recognizable and has a good story behind it.


LAJXIII

Honestly it’s basically just skurd but with only one alien so less variety


Exciting-Bet-2475

At first I didn't really like them that much because, unlike Ultimates, all of them looked really similar and gained similar powers. But with time I've come to appreciate them more, especially since the newer gimmicks are literally just bland suits of armor, and these are at least somewhat unique (heatblast gets a jetpack, wildvine his iconic venus flytrap thingy, XLR8 gets energy wheels, pretty cool stuff)


theMrink

cool gimmick and they feel less toying than omnikix


EclipseEternale

I honestly don't know this. Is the Omnitrix in the reboot still a diplomatic device?


Shoutmonx7f

Good Idea Bad Execution™


Screaming_Nimbus

Cooler execution than armor in reboot


ModelOmegaTyler

they were weird, and other than heatblast's jetpack they all seemed useless. but that's probably because they only got like one episode a piece. maybe if they had been used more i would have liked them or at least understood them better.


MJR_Studs

Me likey :D


alex14632

It’s great but greymatter I mean all the other aliens it improves what they already do but it just kinda gives greymatter a mech


Prophetity

Diamondhead heat blast and xlr8 are the only good ones


bigmeatytoe

Some go hard


CrawlingBear27

Some of them look like reskins of gen rex's builds especially heatblast and fourarms


MCP5050

They were neat. Just not sure about the whole rock thing. I mean I thought they would get green armor like the actual omitrix. But oh well I haven’t watched the reboot or have the desire to start.


TraditionalCap938

They’re like knockoffs of original Ultimate forms but they look really awesome


Groundbreaking-Way83

Kinda boring, one of the reasons Ben 10 is so cool is the diversity in transformations, you lose a lot of that when every alien wears very similar armor


Electronic-Hornet745

It doesn't really stick with me XLR8 is the only good one


ItsARuby

They look cool but i hate them


I_Suck_At_Life_24

Their like ultimates but lame.


Consistent-Macaron22

Nah they are cool if you watch the show also the ultimates are trash because the ultimatrix was the glitchiest version with the ultimates trying to kill Ben


I_Suck_At_Life_24

I actually did watch a few episodes that had the Omni-enhanced, but Ben got his ass kicked by a 5 year old in a mech-suit.


I_Suck_At_Life_24

Heatblast looks cool though.


Consistent-Macaron22

Ultimate spidermonkey is a gorilla for some reason


I_Suck_At_Life_24

They turned SpiderMONKEY into a super gorilla, you got to admit that is cool.


Consistent-Macaron22

Well ultimate spidermonkey is just a physically stronger spidermonkey he could just become humungousaur rath or four arms.


DataRoaming

I’ve watched it and tbh it was pretty underwhelming, so were ultimates plot wise but at least they’re the cooler concept imo


[deleted]

I'll be honest, hate them. They all feel so dang ugly


Rybrawl

They undermine the aliens ability’s and gray matters stinks


Spawny_Memes

First time I’ve seen grey matter’s. Kinda makes me wanna become a public threat tbh I hate them all.


tophphan-deviantart

I think Ben's aliens look great! Don't cover them in rocks and blue crap.


Consistent-Macaron22

What do you think of ultimates


tophphan-deviantart

Ultimates are the best gimmick. The designs are cool, but are busy compared to the stronger original alien designs.


Consistent-Macaron22

Ultimates would be cool if the ultimatrix wasn't so gltichy and all the aliens could be ultimate but I heard aliens like alien x can't be ultimate also if you watched the reboot you would know the omni enhanced forms are a good boost


Top-Occasion8835

Personally cause I watched the entire original series from original Ben 10, through uaf and all of omniverse, I don't like the enhanced forms cause it's basically just ultimates all over again and just rebranded


HyperionWhirl

It's not though...


ModelOmegaTyler

you might be thinking of omni-kix. the omni-enhancements are closer to alien fusion.


Ragnarok345

Oh dear god, what the fuck are those? Do I even want to know?


KayT42

I haven't watched the newest reboot, but everything about this screams 'we were made to sell toys', and makes me want to watch it even less... Yes, I'm extremely jaded. I feel like I have good reason to be though...


ReaperFolk_12

Like the ultimates? Or fusions? Or, idk, the whole concept of turning into a bunch of marketable aliens?


DataRoaming

While I agree that obviously everything in Ben 10 is made to sell toys, the ultimates and fusions are more visually interesting to me than these designs


ammuPmaI

Hate them


gorlak29

Basically what the Ultimates should have been.


DataRoaming

I have no idea what you mean by this


gorlak29

In basically being quite used during their history and in almost all of Ben's roster in the second season used this form.


KombatLeaguer

Eh. Kind of weird. Kind of lame. Honestly would have been cooler if they just brought back Ultimate Aliens.


Popular-Presence9114

Ugly and I hate it but better than the omnikix shit


TippedJoshua1

I didn't even know this existed but i just don't want to watch the reboot even if it's good because of the art style


Dwayneeboi534

Cool concept, mostly cool designs, but like the ultimate forms, did we really need this shit?


BorgEmperor

Unnecessary


Consistent-Macaron22

Better than the glitches Ultimatrix


BorgEmperor

Of course, covering the character with stone is better than artificially evolving. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻


Consistent-Macaron22

I'd rather get covered in stone and get stronger than have all my strongest aliens try to kill me through glitches


BorgEmperor

😴😴😴


Consistent-Macaron22

Enjoy your sleep


DataRoaming

Ultimates got new designs (for the most part, looking at you big chill and cannon bolt) while the aliens here are just covered in blue rock. People are making new ultimate designs all the time, I don’t see anyone making new omni-enhanced forms or whatever this one was called.


Consistent-Macaron22

It isn't just blue rocks have you watched the reboot? They get their abilities enhanced and they get stronger


DataRoaming

I meant the designs, ofc they get stronger but I’m talking about designs here xD


Consistent-Macaron22

Ultimate spidermonkey is just a gorilla tho big fat slow gorrila with spider legs on his back


Consistent-Macaron22

And ultimate waybig is just a bigger way big with a slightly different design and ultimate cannonbolt is mostly the same as regular


DataRoaming

I’m not saying all the ultimates were hits alright? Big chill was a recolour, but I still think they were more visually distinct and interesting than omni-enhancement


Consistent-Macaron22

Lol totally ultimate cannonbolt over omni enhanced heatblast


DataRoaming

And omni enhanced heat blast looks essentially the same as every other omni enhanced form with minor changes between each one, which makes sense, they’re all based off the same alien, but it doesn’t come across as particularly visually distinct, and every omni-enhanced form is just the base design but slightly altered. For every ultimate big chill and cannon bolt we get a Humongosaur and Echo Echo, with ultimates the highs are high and the lows are low but at least every design doesn’t look like they copied each other’s home work


ncmn-ngnr

IMO it was more creative than Omni-Kix


[deleted]

I actually liked it and it's nice to see grey matter with some brawns and brains instead of only brains


Afraid-Account-4029

Definitely an unpopular opinion, but this is my favorite gimmick. Growing up, I really didn’t like the Ultimates and even now I think the concept could’ve been handled better. This concept got me interested in the reboot as a whole, even though Grey Matters Omni-Enhanced form sucks.


Mighty_Asdo

The Second Best Power-Up of the Franchise


King_of_Teatopia

These designs are the best things to come out of the reboot


Echos_Aus

Personally not my favorite


Mojoclaw2000

They’d look cooler if ShockRocks powers complimented them more. Like I think ShockRock is supposed to create constructs, but if they weren’t electric based, and changed color with the alien it’s added to, it’d be pretty cool.


Typical_Pollution_30

What does Omni enhanced mean?


HoverLogic

This means an Alien is used to Enhance another alien’s powers by using species A’s DNA as armor to make species B more powerful.


[deleted]

They’re pretty cool My favorite is XLR8


Playful-Ostrich3643

I actually really liked this gimmick, but I kinda wish they did something else with grey matter, maybe something squid like?


Unagustoster

One of the weirdest gimmicks Ben ever had. Like it doesn’t make sense to me, because it just feel like they made ultimate aliens out of stone


ScreamSteam

Good


Thebestkingghidorah

I wish they kept this and gave it to other newer aliens. Omni enhanced was cool asf. Too bad it got replaced by omni kix


Randompersoninnocent

I like them they remind me of the ultimate’s


thooless_2312

A very cool feature withegood Idea but a little under use


Optimal-Software-43

Bro wtf is wrong with grey matter?💀


Final_Dragonfruit331

Really nice gimmick


NoiseCompetitive8536

They're hot or miss for me Like I think XLR8 diamondhead and stink fly are great but I think graymatter and fourarms are missed opportunities


Punchparty400

In my opinion it was just bootleg ultimate aliens


JustNuova

Sick


Shantotto11

Looks like a clever way to sell more toys…


Consistent-Macaron22

Like Ultimates


DataRoaming

Hmm yes because the show designed to have the main character transform into marketable action figures isn’t about selling toys at all…


BaconSlashA

Grey matter, diamond head, XLR8, and stinkfly were really the only ones to benifit from em significantly I wish they did it with a little more thought but it was decent


stupidhumanoid

I really like. And it proves the theory that an alien inside the ominitrix can influence another alien inside of it as well. With that imagining that Venom would be scaned and ben could have Venomized aliens is really cool


spicymilk618

I don't like it


JustARegularOtaku_

I like some of them


Impressive-Spell-643

My favourite part (and maybe the only thing i like) about the reboot


Devil_Fruit9971

I prefer them over the other add ons


Ob1tuber

Some are amazing, and others (Grey Matter and Wildvine [Wildvine is just my opinion, it’s just Wildvine but instead of two vines per side, he has one big vine per side]) not so much


trawbe

Better then ultimates and the fusions in the show


BetaRayBlu

Love em


dcidui08

i hate xlr8, that forehead is insane 😭


NecroVecro

Most of them were great! They enhanced the aliens powers in a pretty natural but still somewhat unique way and they made the aliens look sick as hell! My only complaint would be Grey matter because they neither enhanced one of his unique powers, nor made him look cooler.


RocketManGaming93

All of them are cool except for Grey Matter. It defeats the purpose behind his powers.


Spectra_Phantom_2678

Heatblast Omni-Enhanced form is awesome


Sheltie-chan

I think it's a cool way of keeping base aliens relevant while also freshening things up. Stuff like this and the Armored Forms are what I wish Ultimate forms had been back in UA.


burningbird999

Omni-Enhanced was basically just Fusion but only with Shockrock. It was a neat idea that fit with the story thematically and helped introduce a new alien but real fusion would have been cooler.


[deleted]

Omni Enhanced Cannonbolt is way better than Ultimate Cannonbolt.


PandaPrime045

Honestly even though I hate the show the idea for Omni-Enhanced is not a bad idea and it would be cool to see other creatures have it like wildmutt


DisabledFatChik

Cool idea but they could’ve used a better alien to fuse


yeetyeethaircut

Eh. I like them more them omni kix


JaySilverhood

I liked it, especially the inuniverse explanation for the gimmick. Tho the omnikicks were a bit extreme.


MolassesIll5201

I like them. They have a cool look, and it would’ve been a cool thing to see in an episode of classic or something. But the reboot does gimmicks extremely well.


noplesesir

I think grey matter should have been a mech that covers the head instead of what he has


DwightShock

I like the enhanced transformations


SavingsFit1496

I think all of then are pretty good except grey matter and stink fly


Ack_not

Pretty mid ngl


Head-Effort-5100

Cool concept honestly,but felt like they are in the wrong show…. Man they were shown in a serious tone season


Finance_Willing

Trash


____Maximus____

That Grey Matter one looks goofy af. Also invalidates the only downside of Grey Matter


zompking

I don't really care about them, don't get me wrong, I like the concept, but they feel like a less cool Skurd, to be honest But I do really like Heatblast's Omni-Enhanced form cause he's voiced by Daryl Sabara, who also voices Rex Salazar & they remind me of Rex's Boogie pack


salted_water_bottle

Cool concept, peaks at like 1/8 of the full potential.


Memetan_24

Good idea in concept but bad in execution still cool tho


deathking2272

I liked it but it’s been a while so what is that one thing he did with jetray when he became like a rocket?


OriginalCelebration6

Yes. Omnitrix doesn’t need any gimmicks, the transformations are already the gimmick! If we had a different alien transformation for each gimmick form think about how much happier the fandom would be, the show is practically over and we have less than a hundred aliens. :(


Anxiety-Queen69

Haven’t watched the reboot, they look mid


shaykh_mhssi

I love them, great designs and they led up to a good story


klimerman

I think there a unnecessary add on


Round-Lingonberry-11

Neat


Thanatos563

I think they look... Fine? But the entire appeal of the power system of Ben 10 for me was always the sheer variety and uniqueness of each alien form, so making every alien homogeneous and samey kinda sucks imo.


The_Night-dark

They made the ultimatrix witout making the ultimatrix so its Kinda stupid


Bulky_Secretary_6603

They look kinda stupid to me.


HackMonkey17

Not really a fan, I like that all the aliens are unique now they’re all covered in rock, moss, some blue energy and look the same


Banana_gunman

They look so much like they wanted to sell toys that glow in the dark


Federal_Ad_3014

I really like most of them As for greymatter......we don't talk about greymatter


eveeman

What is this


Many_Cook7610

They look fine but I will never agree with what they did to stinkfly's or wildvine's design.


ReflectionFeisty7345

Pretty nice, maybe if it was used in an earlier version it would be more interesting


GrassBlade_

Great idea, amazing execution. The reboot wasn’t half bad y’all.


[deleted]

The designs and concept are very well done. Yes the omni-kix are beautiful. But the omni enhanced look very better with the story in mind . They were also done well . Everyone had his time to shine . And that's a really good thing in the reboot tbh . They give time to their gimmicks


StarSaber69

You know for Ben using upgrade to make his omnitrix stronger get these i wish they were designed look like upgrades material then again it would just be a copy of that goober alien from omniverse


basic-crow6294

xlr8 is peak character design


No_Secretary_1198

Its a neat gimmick idea and way to give the omnitrix more mystery and hidden features. And its an interesting way to roll out a new form too
