Most blatant seen with Bullfrag, a genetically optimal and healthy Incursean: While the standard Inkursean grunts are human-sized, gaunt, and frail-looking due to their rather poor diets (except for Milleous), Bullfrag meanwhile is taller than the average human and has a Heroic Build.Basically, they're to their species as Captain America is to humanity (peak and perfect physical condition). Downplayed but noticeable with Fourarms as well.The only other Incursean to look significantly different is Attea. Black Box: Ben has no idea how the Omnitrix works at the beginning of the story the best he can do is turning and pushing the dial.Female Tetramands are stronger than males, and Ben as Fourarms faced off against the Warrior Princess Looma, Warlord Gar's Greatest Warrior and not only matched her in strength, but defeated her in combat. Chest Insignia: The Omnitrix's symbol will appear somewhere on the body of every alien it transforms its wearer into.This frequently causes him to take the wrong transformation, turn back to normal at the wrong time, or merely make mistakes. Clingy MacGuffin: The thing is stuck on Ben's wrist.Most commonly in the center of the chest, but it does vary for some. This prevents villains from simply taking it from him.
Master reboot tv tropes how to#
Though by the last season of Alien Force this is no longer true, as Ben knows exactly how to remove the thing whenever he wants. The Omnitrix, due to housing far more potential alien forms than any one user could hope to sort through, generally operates in sets of ten randomly selected (though generally balanced) forms.Discard and Draw: Since Ben can only use one transformation at a time, his set of powers will change according to which form he is using. Early Game Hell: For lack of a better term.Though others can be unlocked later, it will default to another set of ten if left inactive for too long, requiring older forms to be re-unlocked. Ben's first set of aliens are balanced and strong in their own way, but it left him with few counters or specialists beyond 'this one is strong' or 'this one is smart'.


This often forced Ben to get vastly more creative with certain aliens than he should have needed to.
Master reboot tv tropes manual#
#BEN 10 REBOOT TV TROPES MANUAL#Īlso, the Omnitrix comes without a manual of any kind.Later aliens gave him more specialized powersets, allowing him to react to situations with more finesse than if he was restricted to the original ten.

This means that Ben and any other user has to learn every individual power and weakness of every alien on the fly, and how the device works in the first place. Early Installment Weirdness: When Ben first finds it, it behaves like a piece of Organic Technology prone to Body Horror.It unhinges from the front like a blob of slime, lacks the green/black circuitry, and the dial/faceplate is an isolated piece of hardware. In "Back With A Vengeance", it unhinges more measuredly but from the back.
