Way Big (Classic)

Way Big (alternatively spelled as Waybig)Some end credits of Alien Force, Ultimate Alien, and Omniverse is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a To'kustar, a race of ultra-rare, gigantic aliens that are created during unpredictable cosmic storms.
==Appearance==
===Ben as Way Big===
Way Big is a white colossal humanoid creature with a large frill on his head, which is black at the front and red at the bottom. He has blade-like growths on his shoulders and spikes on his waist. He also has red arms with three black lines and white fins on the elbows, wristband-like outgrowths on his wrists and yellow eyes on his head with two extra eyes protruding on his cheeks, one on each. He has red feet with two toes, a black sandal-like covering on the middle of his feet and three black lines on the side of his neck. The red parts of Way Big's body are made of an unknown cosmic material with metallic properties. Ben 10,000's Way Big is identical to this design.
In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Way Big was a little bigger than he was in the Original Series. His head frill was red on the front and black on the bottom, his arms were white with red fins coming out of them and his neck and wrists were black. Way Big's eyes are green and he did not bear the extra ones on his cheeks. He lacked the stripes on his arms as well as the blades on his shoulders and waist. He also had red boot-like feet and did not have the sandal-like coverings. Kevin as Way Big is identical to this design.
In Destroy All Aliens, Way Big looked mostly the same as in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, except the red parts were colored to match his portrayal in the Original Series.
In Omniverse, Way Big has two red lines on his neck, the blades on his shoulders and waist have returned and are red and he also has black fingerless gloves, similar to the ones Four Arms wears in the same series. He is now more muscular, his head is less skull-shaped and has eyes on his cheeks again, which are more metallic. The fins on his arms are longer and he has regained the stripes on his arms and legs, and the wristband-like outgrowths on his wrists. Both 16 and 11-year-old Way Big share the exact same design with the exception of the ring around the Omnitrix symbol, which is silver in the 11-year-old version and white in the 16-year-old version.
Way Big wears the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
===Mad Ben as Mad Way Big===
Mad Ben's Way Big is near identical to Ben Prime's Way Big in Omniverse, except for orange replacing the eyes and the red parts. He also wears gray shoulder pads with orange spikes, spiked shoes, and orange wraps around his forearms and calves. His arm and head blades are also serrated.

===Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction===

==Naming and Translations==
==Trivia==
*The parts of Way Big that have metallic properties can allow Osmosians like Kevin to absorb it.
*Way Big's height is portrayed inconsistently in many of his appearances. His actual height is supposed to be either nearly 100 feet (30.48 meters), at least 100 feet (30.48 meters)Azmuth's FatherBen 10: Destroy All Aliens or 120 feet (36.58 meters).
**Interestingly, Way Big's height was also meant to be variable originally, but it is unknown whether that was the final decision.
*Way Big is one of Ken's favorite aliens.Ken 10
*Way Big and Diamondhead are the only aliens who have ever defeated Vilgax.
*Way Big is one of four aliens to make their debut in a movie or special; the others being Eon, Nanomech, and Shocksquatch.
*Way Big is one of three aliens to have been unlocked by Azmuth; the others being Bullfrag and Atomix.
*Way Big is one of only five aliens who appeared in each series of the Classic Continuity; the other four are Upchuck, Cannonbolt, Diamondhead, and Ghostfreak.
**So far, Diamondhead, Cannonbolt, and Way Big are the only aliens to have appeared in every series in the franchise, including the reboot.
**Additionally, Way Big is one of the only five aliens who escaped from the original Omnitrix; the others are Spidermonkey, Goop, Ghostfreak, and Chromastone.
**Furthermore, Way Big is one of four regular aliens to be temporarily destroyed and removed from the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix, the others being Chromastone, Feedback, and Swampfire.
*Way Big could be eaten by a Gourmand if he were chopped up into bite-sized chunks.
*Way Big could be subdued by the Hephestan Neuro Grip, but only if this move were to be performed by beings with hands much bigger than Slapstrike's.
*Derrick J. Wyatt viewed Way Big as Ben's sixth most powerful alien. Prior to Atomix's introduction, Matt Wayne guessed that Way Big was a runner-up to Alien X in terms of power.
*Way Big's Original Series design was made by Thomas Perkins. The first prototype design he made was approved as the crew was very busy at the time.
**Way Big's Alien Force/Ultimate Alien design was created by Glenn Wong, with color styling by Chris Hooten.
**Way Big's Omniverse design was made by Derrick alongside either Steven Choi or Chap Yaep. It would later serve as the basis for Way Big's design in the reboot.
*As of Secret of the Omnitrix, Way Big did not have any powers, such as his cosmic beams. He was simply envisioned as a giant alien. The other powers and abilities were added by future writers.
**Similarly, Way Big's frill was also not meant to be a weak point. Thomas Perkins commented that it would not make sense for such a prominent feature to be one, and called it an "unfortunate choice".
*A predator for Way Big was conceptualized during the production of Omniverse, however, art of it was never drawn and it ultimately went unimplemented. Derrick J. Wyatt imagined the alien as a cross between a sentient virus and an infestation of mites and fleas.
*Way Big's design and fighting style are based on the heroes of the Ultraman series. For example, Way Big's cosmic ray attack is similar to Ultraman's signature technique, the Specium Ray.
**Both the transformation durations of the Omnitrix and Ultraman had their own time limit settings.
**In Omniverse, Way Big speaks with a Japanese accent, further comparing him to Ultraman.
**However, Way Big's vulnerable to electricity makes him different from Ultraman, who is immune to it.
**Thomas did not intentionally design Way Big as an Ultraman-inspired alien, but noted that Ultraman was a formative part of his childhood, so some elements of Ultraman's design made it into Way Big's.
