Theme Song (Omniverse)

The Ben 10: Omniverse Theme Song is the main theme used in the Ben 10: Omniverse series. It plays at the start of every episode, after the cold open and before the three acts of the rest of the episode. It is the first theme song since the Original Series' to feature lyrics.
==Lyrics==
==Description==
Note: All aliens mentioned are shown in their 11-year-old appearances, if they have one. If not, they are shown in their 16-year-old appearances.
A ball of light splits the screen. Both teenage and child versions of Ben are shown slamming their own Omnitrices. A still of Feedback is shown, with his zoomed-in face behind him. Electricity wipes the screen to a still of Heatblast flying through the air. Then Four Arms comes flying out of an explosion; a zoomed-in version is similarly laid out behind him, shaded with printer halftones. Shocksquatch then pounds his fists together and creates electricity that fades to the green light of Teen Ben's Omnitrix. From there, four split panels of aliens glide over Ben; the aliens in the panels are Shocksquatch, Way Big, Bloxx, and Crashhopper. Then, Rath is shown standing in the middle of the Omnitrix's selection wheel, with Perk Upchuck jumping from alien icon to alien icon, annoying Rath to the point of him pulling his hair out. Four more split panels glide over a shot of Young Ben running forward; the aliens in the panels being Four Arms, Feedback, Grey Matter, and Wildmutt. In the final moments of the theme, both Young and Teen Ben face to the side, and seven of their preferred aliens line up alongside them.
*To the left of Young Ben:
**Diamondhead; Ripjaws; Wildmutt; XLR8; Cannonbolt; Four Arms; Feedback
*To the right of Teen Ben:
**Gravattack; Crashhopper; NRG; Humungousaur; Shocksquatch; Bloxx; Echo Echo
The title logo moves in front of the Omnitrix symbol.
==Variations==
The base version of the theme song would be used until the end of Season 2, after which, a new variation would appear for Season 3 (). In it, some of the featured aliens would change, and additional sound effects were featured for every shot. This variant would last until the end of Season 4.
A variant of the theme was created exclusively for Season 5, subtitled "Galactic Monsters", in which the entire theme takes on a darker tone. The song is sung differently, with dissonant harmonies stacked on top of the melody and the "Ben 10!" cries sung much deeper with an artificial tone. These changes, including the instrumentation of the chords and countermelody changing to an organ and whistling, respectively, emulate the sound of classic sci-fi and monster movies. The color scheme of every scene emphasizes a deep purple, and the Omnitrices have a glow-in-the-dark effect. Every single featured alien has been swapped with a spooky or creepy alien, notably Ben's Anur aliens.
*In the first three shots, Feedback, Heatblast, and Four Arms are replaced with Snare-Oh standing, Whampire flying, and Gutrot flying from a cloud of gas.
*Frankenstrike replaces Shocksquatch in pounding his fists together and creating electricity.
*The first four panels now show Ghostfreak; Toepick; Astrodactyl; and Bullfrag.
*It is now Juryrigg that kick-dances across the selection wheel, and a bewildered Blitzwolfer that stands in the middle.
*The second four panels now show Blitzwolfer; Eye Guy; Ripjaws; and Snare-Oh.
*To the left of Young Ben:
**Diamondhead; Ripjaws; Wildmutt; XLR8; Cannonbolt; Four Arms; Ditto
*To the right of Teen Ben:
**Frankenstrike; Ball Weevil; Crashhopper; NRG; Blitzwolfer; Bloxx; Juryrigg
*"Galactic Monsters" overtakes the title logo.
The final variation would be used from Seasons 7 to 8, and returns to the first variation's tone and visuals. The song is notably different, now being a dubstep-inspired remix of itself.
A one-time variation of the second theme appears in Clyde 5, where Clyde appears in front of where the theme is "projected" and interjects with his own personalized version of the lyrics. Ben asks what he's doing, disappointed, and Clyde shoos him away.
==Appearances==
*Ben 10: Omniverse
**As mentioned, the song appears in every episode.

==Trivia ==
*This theme song has the most variations out of any of the theme songs.
*Parry Gripp was approached by Cartoon Network to write a short, action-packed, 20 second theme, after hearing his work on the theme song of their show, The Super Hero Squad Show.
**One element Cartoon Network was keen on having was an element of "retro science fiction", which Parry supplied in the song with the synth line countermelody.
*The 11-year-old versions of Grey Matter, Ripjaws, and Blitzwolfer, who have solely appeared in the intros, were not necessarily planned to appear in the series proper.
