BEN 10 ALIEN SWARM FUN FAQs
Q) When Ben transforms into different aliens, where do the clothes that he wears in human form go?
A) Nanomachines break them down and store them until he returns to human form.
Q) Can Ben stay in his alien forms for as long as he wants to?
A) Ben can stay in his alien forms for a maximum of ten minutes without letting the Omnitrix rest to recharge.
Q) Can he change from one form to another? And how long can he do that for?
A) If he changes from one form to another, the combined time for the changes can be no more than 10 minutes, likely less because of power leakage. Ben can change back to human anytime, and at will.
Q) How advance is the Omnitrix tech level?
A) Azmuth claims it’s level 20.
Q) Why does the Omnitrix symbol on Ben`s Aliens glow green?
A) To indicate that the Omnitrix is working properly.
Q) How long does the Omnitrix’s omni-energy core last? Does it need to be changed?
A) There’s no energy core, but the Omnitrix has a self-renewing power supply that will long outlive Ben.
Q) Is there anything in the world that can prevent the Omnitrix from activating?
A) No, but there are electromagnetic frequency that affects its proper operation. For instance, raw manna (the pink stuff Gwen manipulates) is a problem.
Q) Does the Omnitrix only work on a wrist? Can you wear it on your arm or leg?
A) The aliens wear them on their chest, so it would work anywhere it could touch your skin.
Q) Is there Human DNA in the Omnitrix?
A) Yes, Ben is the sample of human DNA in Omnitrix.
Q) Does the Ominitrix contain both male and female DNA?
A) No. Chromosomes are made of DNA, not the other way around, so no male or female.
Q) If the Omnitrix regulates DNA, does that mean if Ben is bitten by a vampire or scratched by a werewolf, he won’t turn into them?
A) No. It means if he had full control of the Omnitrix, he could cure himself.
Q) What would happen if the alien loses an arm while transforming back? Would the Omnitrix repair the damage during the transformation sequence?
A) No, Ben would be missing an arm.
Q) Why is the Omnitrix made?
A) It is made for events like the Highbreed.
Q) Why is Kevin always crazy about his car?
A) He likes cars, and he refurbished that one from an old beater to the magnificent machine it is… uh, was.
Q) When Gwen has a shield or throws energy and it shatters, does it just disappear or is it still on the ground in pieces?
A) It vanishes. Only her effort keeps it solid. Once she’s not touching it, it dissolves in a matter of seconds (like her stair steps).
Q) Is it possible for Ben to sample animal DNA into the Omnitrix? Like, say if a cat scratches it or something.
A) Yes, but the Omnitrix won’t do it. Neither will a scratch.
Q) Why does the Omnitrix have a time limit and needs to be re-charged?
A) It’s not a power limit, the real reason for the time limit and the recharge is to prevent damage to Ben, not to re-power the watch.
Q) Why is the watch named “Omnitrix”?
A) It’s short for “Omni-Matrix.”
Q) How does Ben change back into human form? Does he have to operate the Omnitrix or he can just do it at all?
A) He changes back by turning the second ring on the dial to the 3 o’clock position. When he appears to be changing mentally, it’s just a coincidence. He was out of time and changing anyway.
Q) How many aliens are there in the Omintrix?
A) Every alien in the galaxy is already in the Omnitrix.
