Omnitrix (Omniverse)

The Omnimatrix, referred to as the Omnitrix, is the device that Ben 10: Omniverse revolved around. It is the finished version of the Omnitrix.
==Appearance==
The Omnitrix resembles a digital wristwatch. Its faceplate is now square rather than round and has a white, green, and black color scheme. The faceplate is black with two green stripes forming an outline for the hourglass of the Galvan tech logo. When the faceplate is slid back, the Omnitrix's core is revealed.
===Omniverse Future Timeline===
The Omnitrix in Omniverse Future Timeline, looks exactly same, but some elements are black, instead of green.

==History ==
===Background===
According to Azmuth, he started working on this Omnitrix ever since Ben got the prototype during the events of And Then There Were 10. He has spent approximately six years constructing it.
===Ultimate Alien===
This Omnitrix was first mentioned by Azmuth in Map of Infinity. He was planning on giving it to Ben, but stated that it was not complete. He also mentioned that Ben's maturity needed to increase before he would be allowed to use it.
Towards the end of Ultimate Alien, Azmuth had completed this Omnitrix. In The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2, Azmuth finally gave it to Ben because he deemed him worthy of wielding it shortly after removing the Ultimatrix from the latter's wrist. Ben has been wearing this Omnitrix ever since. 
===Omniverse ===
In And Then There Were None, No Watch Ben temporarily wore the Omnitrix after Ben Prime was turned to dust by the Chronosapien Time Bomb.
In And Then There Was Ben, No Watch Ben returned the Omnitrix to Ben Prime after the latter was restored by the former as Clockwork alongside all of his other counterparts.
===Future===
Many years later, Ben gave the Omnitrix to his son, Ken. However, Ken went on a mission he was not allowed to go on at some point after this, and got in over his head, prompting Ben to take his Omnitrix from him.
In The End of an Era, Ken is shown handing over the Omnitrix to his mother when it is brought up.

==Modes==
<tabber>
|-|Active=
Active Mode is the Omnitrix's default mode when idle. It is where the user can select the transformation they want to become; initiate the process of transforming; and stay in said transformation. The actual usage time is 15 minutes at a time.Hot Stretch However, different factors and actions performed by the user can severely diminish the available usage time: most commonly if the user, while transformed, changes to another form. If the user slamming the core, this affects the time limit of a transformation,For a Few Brains More as the user could stay transformed for hours.No Honor Among Bros
|-|Recharge=
When the Omnitrix's usage time is fully depleted (i.e. "times out"), it goes into Recharge Mode: firstly warning of the timing out; then detransforming the user and locking all functions of Active Mode while the Omnitrix recharges.
The Omnitrix is capable of detecting when it's host is in any sort of life-threatening distress. Specifically, it can instantly recharge to protect the user from a direct physical threat. This was shown when Ben was instantly turned into Feedback to contain the Big Bang.A New Dawn
If the user is knocked out or hurt enough, the Omnitrix will revert them to their normal form.
|-|Collect/Capture=thumb|200px|left|Collect Mode
When a new DNA sample has been unlocked,Outbreak or when the Omnitrix captures new DNA not present in the catalog,The Vampire Strikes Back Collect Mode is activated. However, if the Omnitrix is far away from the detected sample, the Omnitrix's other functions will be disabled until the alien is scanned.
When in alien form, the Omnitrix shoots out a green ray from the dial.
|-|Self-Destruct=
The Omnitrix has a self-destruction mode. In this mode, the Omnitrix will begin a countdown, beeping as a warning that the mode has been activated. It can be enabled if settings are changed, and can be disabled if settings are changed again.It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Ben World: Part 2 
|-|Randomizer=
The Omnitrix has a randomizer function that works in one of two ways: either the user will continuously change between different aliens every few minutes before timing out, or they will turn into one random alien for an inconsistently short period of time before changing back.

===General===
*Just like the original Omnitrix and the Ultimatrix, the Omnitrix mainly allows for the user to alter their DNA at will and transform into a numerous variety of alien species that are each with their own unique powers and abilities (along with their weaknesses) and in a selection of alien DNA that is in groups of 10. 
**Ben compares the feeling of transforming to a "good stretch".Bros in Space
*The Omnitrix has a quick-change feature that allows for the user to transform between alien forms while already transformed with or without touching the Omnitrix symbol. It also allows the user to transform back into normal when they are done using their transformation, causing it not to time out and allowing the user to transform again far quicker.
*The Omnitrix has a Master Control, which would most likely be installed upon Ben's 18th birthday.Azmuth
*The Omnitrix can synchronize with another Omnitrix if activated at the same time.Professor Paradox 
**It is because of this feature that the Omnitrix's counterpart from Dimension 23 has unlocked aliens that it did not have previously.
*The Omnitrix does not rely on the Codon Stream for transformation. Instead, the DNA is stored within itself in a computerized form.
*The Omnitrix can change the user's gender to adapt to another species.
*The Omnitrix has Call mode which is used to communicate with the user using the device.Store 23
===Extensions=== 
*The Omnitrix has a 2-way communication system with Plumber Badges.It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Ben World: Part 1 
**The Omnitrix can also record messages, similar to voicemail.
*The Omnitrix has the functionalities of a regular digital watch.
*The Omnitrix has a function were the user to stay transformed for an extended period of time without timing out. Ben only knows the lock code for Incursean DNA.
*The Omnitrix adapts the user's clothing to the alien they transform into.
*The Omnitrix has a built-in Universal Translator and could also translate other Earth languages.The Secret of Dos Santos
*The Omnitrix has a distress signal function and homing device, as Azmuth was able to find and rescue Ben when was trapped inside the Incursean Exile Pod.The Frogs of War: Part 2
*The Omnitrix has a security lock system so that it can only be used by the user, as well as an alternate identification program if changes by outside forces occur to the user.Arrested Development
*The Omnitrix has a failsafe that kicks in the event that the user's life is in jeopardy. This feature turns them into the needed alien to survive.
* The Omnitrix has failsafes installed by Azmuth that prevent Galvanic Mechamorphs from tampering with the device.
*The Omnitrix has the option of making its symbols disappear.
*With Skurd, he can duplicate the DNA of the Omnitrix's aliens and shapeshift their body parts into other's. He can also create armor out of an aliens DNA.
=== Clothing=== 
*The Omnitrix usually provided clothes to the aliens that are based on what the user is wearing.
===Allocation=== 
*The Omnitrix symbol is positioned on different places for each alien whenever the user is transformed.
===Voice Command=== 
*The Omnitrix can be controlled by Voice Command.

*If the Omnitrix does mis-transform, it is because of the user slamming on the Omnitrix's core and (inadvertently) the scroll pad.
**Other reasons for mis-transfoming include not perfecting either the preload or proper pressure application and misreading the display. Overall, incorrect transformations are caused by the user's general sloppiness.
*Much like the original Ultimatrix,Inspector #13 the Omnitrix is not hack proof.
*Much like the original Omnitrix,Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens the Omnitrix does not have a failsafe against magic. If the Omnitrix symbol is bitten by magic creatures, such as rock monsters, the device will send a shockwave, distransform the user and will select only one alien.Mystery, Incorporeal
*The DNA Scanner of the Omnitrix will attempt to scan any new DNA in the vicinity. If the DNA sample is too far away, then the Omnitrix will shut down all its other functions until it scans the new sample.
*The user can be prevented from transforming by the Forever Knights DNA Scanner which would scan the transformations DNA before reveting the user.Return to Forever
*Too many transformations and reversals will wear out the Omnitrix, causing it to go into a cooldown cycle.
*The Omnitrix has no mind control protection.Catfight
*The Omnitrix may stop working when frozen in time by a Chronosapien.
*In addition to gaining all the powers and abilities of an alien, the user gains all the weaknesses of that alien as well. One common weakness includes being vulnerable to the alien's natural predator. The user is also susceptible to certain behaviors inherent to the alien he/she is transformed into, such as Swampfire's evolution,Charmed, I'm Sure and the Swarm Gastronomy of Upchuck.Tummy Trouble
*Upon activating the Randomizer Function, the user will constantly switch transformations at the most inopportune times, thereby putting them into potentially dangerous situations.The Frogs of War: Part 1
*When exposed to electromagnetic interference from beings like Phil, it can make the Omnitrix transform the user into electrical aliens even when they select a different alien.Max's Monster
*Due to a programming error, Rath had been running around naked for most of the series, until Skurd corrected the error and gave Rath a Luchador costume.
*If tampered with by Eon, the Omnitrix can switch the user's mind to a younger version.Ben Again
== Known Aliens==
The Omnitrix initially had a total of at least 1,000,910Ultimatrix DNA samples, but over the course of Omniverse, the Omnitrix reacquired Feedback in Showdown: Part 2 and acquired Whampire in The Vampire Strikes Back, thus having a total of at least 1,000,912 of DNA samples, of which over 70 are unlocked. Of these aliens, only 63 are named. Only 59 of them are used at least once.

==Appearances==
===Ultimate Alien===
====Season 3==== 
*The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2 (first appearance)
===Omniverse=== 
*All episodes except From Hedorium to Eternity.
== Naming and Translations==
==Trivia== 
*Unlike the original Omnitrix and the Ultimatrix, the Omnitrix has a digitalized feminine voice, rather than the digitalized version of Ben's voice.
*In addition to the ones listed above, the Omnitrix has hundreds of other features Ben does not know about. For example, he does not know how to access the settings that changes the user's gender to adapt to another species or make the Omnitrix's symbols disappear. 
**Derrick believed that the Omnitrix has all the features of the original.
*Duncan Rouleau believes that the alien DNA is "injected" into the user, meaning they retain the wielder's personality, memories, and consciousness. Because of this, most of the aliens are not full-blown aliens, with the exceptions of Ectonurite and Conductoid DNA. The Omnitrix could not transform the user into another of its own species.
*Unlike the Ultimatrix, the Omnitrix does not have an evolutionary feature. Also, a Polymorphic Crystal cannot transform the Omnitrix itself into an Ultimatrix. 
**Because of these factors, Ben will never regain the ability to transform into Ultimate Forms.
*It is implied that aliens such as Astrodactyl, Ball Weevil, Bloxx, Crashhopper, Gutrot, and Toepick were never locked in the Omnitrix. 
**In regard to Gravattack, it is implied that he was unlocked sometime before Double or Nothing. This is because Albedo is able to transform into Negative Gravattack, and his powers only allow him to turn into all the aliens Ben has unlocked prior to that episode, though Derrick later stated he was wrong about said claim due to Negative Gravattack.
**In regard to Feedback, Matt Youngberg, Derrick J. Wyatt, and Kevin Rubio believe that Ben reabsorbed Feedback's DNA when he was floating inside Malware because Malware absorbed both the transformation and a little bit of Ben's genetic code when he destroyed Feedback. Thus, part of him really was missing.
*Ben is unaware that the Omnitrix contains interdimensional white lab mouse DNA. 
**The Omnitrix also contains dolphin DNA.
*Unitaur and Slapstrike are not actual aliens/transformations and were created just for The Ben 10 Show (although not by Deefus himself).
* According to Derrick J. Wyatt, Spitter was unlocked off-screen after Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens and is available to Ben in present day. 
**However, according to Matt Wayne, Ben had not unlocked Spitter as of The Frogs of War: Part 2. It is unknown if he was unlocked afterwards.
*Derrick believed that non-canon aliens Rocks and Squidstrictor are available in the Omnitrix, having been unlocked off-screen prior to The More Things Change: Part 1. This is because he wanted to incorporate those aliens into the show before the network intervened.
**Derrick once stated that unproduced alien Ventrilosquid is available in the Omnitrix, having been used off-screen prior to Let's Do the Time War Again. However, he stated years later that he was joking.
**Though it has been confirmed that species introduced the Reboot exist in the Classic Omnitrix, Derrick did not think it contains Fulmini DNA.
*The Omnitrix is loaded with a lot of underpowered and powerless aliens. Matt joked that Ben unlocked some of these aliens when he was 11, including Bungee Sponge, Somnambulizard, Skidmarx, Mealymouth, Hippopotamass, and Crabtastic. 
** The crew came up with a bunch of names for aliens available to Ben at age 16, including The Zilch, Pyxl-Loaf, Crocduster, Overround, The Sledge, Splatterator, Dropsies, Tranquenstine, Tanker Bell, Mister Sister, THUUG, The Walking Dread, Polywhirl, Tool Bucket, Murphybed, Turdberry, and Brundlefoot. 
***Mister Sister is inspired by Baron Ashura from Mazinger Z and would have had a split personality.
***Pyxl-Loaf would have had pixel and bread-related powers.
* There were technical glitches in the original Omnitrix and Ultimatrix that limited the positioning of the symbol during transformations that caused interferences such as unclothed appearances. Azmuth reformatted and corrected these errors in the current Omnitrix.
*The Omnitrix is always receiving software updates from Galvan Prime.
*The Omnitrix is unable to scan and accept the DNA of certain beings and species including the Ultimate Forms, cybernetically-enhanced beings, mutants such as Osmosians, living spaceships depicted as commonplace objects, and non-sapient races that do not have as much sentience as Muroids. 
**It neither contains nor accepts DNA from species such as Slime-Biots and Contumelia because neither of them have genetic material equivalent enough to traditional DNA that can be stored.
**Derrick believed that the Omnitrix cannot accept cryptid DNA, but Matt Wayne says it may be possible.
**When asked if it can accept Gem DNA, Derrick answered "not in [his] show". This implies that the acceptance of such DNA is a case depending on the writer.
*The Omnitrix is unable to accommodate the DNA of magical creatures such as Rock Monsters and other inhabitants of Legerdomain because magic is not compatible with the science of the Omnitrix.
*Azmuth can lock the Omnitrix in person and remotely, much like what he did with the recreated Ultimatrix.Malgax Attacks
*Both Derrick and Matt state that the Omnitrix aliens are both prime specimens and optimized adults of their respective species, with Bullfrag, Kickin Hawk and Four Arms being key examples. 
** However, the way age affects the Omnitrix's transformations has been inconsistently represented throughout the series, so this may not always be correct.
** Otherwise, Duncan and Dwayne have disagreed with the aliens being apex members of the species in the past.
***For Duncan, the Omnitrix transforms the user into fully functional versions of the species.
*Unlike some of Ben's alternate counterparts, Eon's Omnitrix did not have a unique name.
*The Omnitrix was designed by Matt Youngberg and Shane Poindexter under the former's supervision. Matt had a really clear vision of what he wanted, and Derrick liked the direction they were going. 
**For its brief appearance in Ultimate Alien, it was designed by Norm Ryang based off Youngberg's concepts.
*The Omnitrix's touch screen interface and Randomizer function were both Youngberg's ideas.
* The alien icons on the touch screen interface were designed by TJ Collins and are inspired by the Autobot and Decepticon insignias from Transformers: Animated, another Cartoon Network animated series that Wyatt had worked on.
