==Appearance==
===Ben as Armodrillo===
Armodrillo is a yellow ten-foot-tall alienBen TennysonThe Transmogrification of Eunice with an armored, mechanical robotic-like body. His head is similar to a Greek Corinthian helmet with two ears on it, giving him the appearance of an armadillo. Armodrillo has a gray tail and jackhammer parts on his elbows, wrists and hands, creating the impression that he is a digging robot. Despite his mechanical and robotic-like appearance, all of these aspects are, in fact, biological and natural to his race. He also has blood that is grey and partially translucent.Andreas' Fault
In Omniverse, Armodrillo looks similar to his Ultimate Alien appearance, but his ears are slightly longer, he has grey bolts with black markings on his shoulders and a metal circle on top of his head. His face has been restructured a little bit, his arm-drills are now much larger, and his feet are now yellow instead of grey while his toes remain grey. His fingers now have a small horizontal line design along with his tail and the black parts of his limbs, his arms, upper arms, and thighs are now more chain-like, and his forearms and shoulders are now much bulkier.
Armodrillo wears the Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
===Albedo as Negative Armodrillo===

Armodrillo's power comes from his forearms, which are embedded with biomechanical pneumatic pistons. They run from the hand, through the arm socket, and out the elbow, and can extend out of either side. By pumping them back and forth rapidly, Armodrillo can use them as biological jackhammers and rumble the earth around him with destructive vibrations, creating tremors;And Then There Was Ben fissures;Reflected GlorySpecial Delivery and earthquakes. Talpaedans can also vibrate their own bodies with extreme precision, as Andreas was able to counter-vibrate his body to nearly completely nullify the impact of a sonic cannon that would have destroyed 5 square miles. Andreas' counter-vibration was also able to completely collapse a Forever Knight castle building into rubble.

Armodrillo possesses enhanced durability, courtesy of his armor. He is durable enough to withstand attacks from many powerful opponents, as well as being thrown through walls. Armodrillo is also immune to neuroshock blasts, as demonstrated by Andreas.
Armodrillo is quite agile, being able to quickly roll out of the way of Slamworm's attack.
Armodrillo is capable of rapidly spinning his drills to generate a continuous shock wave that effectively functions as a blender. This technique was used by Humungousaur with Armodrillo's arm (courtesy of Skurd) to completely disintegrate a tree.Stuck on You

Certain weapons can cause Armodrillo's nervous system to go out of control and make him unable to stop vibrating his arm.
Being a Talpaedan, Armodrillo is at a massive disadvantage against a Slammoid due to them being able to easily dig him out of the ground.
Armodrillo is vulnerable to electricity.
Armodrillo can be rendered unconscious if he is hit by a quill from a member of Argit's species, as demonstrated with Andreas.
Armodrillo can be suffocated if a large amount of matter covers his whole body and compresses it enough.Revenge of the Swarm
