Ben 10 (Cartoon Network/BBC Co-Production)

This is an idea for a possible reboot of the 2005 series Ben 10 that could have been helmed by more than one production company. It would also be helmed by BBC. It is a re-imagining reboot of the first 2005 animated series in the franchise and the first of the continuity. It retells the origins of Ben Tennyson as he finds the Omnitrix on his summer vacation across the globe with his grandfather Max, his cousin Gwen, and his four best friends Julie, Cooper, Lucy and Kevin as well new best friends and joined by an alien robot and two Galvan technicians that were precuring the Omnitrix.
== Premise ==
Ben Tennyson, a ten-year-old boy goes on an extended summer vacation road trip with his loathsome cousin Gwen Tennyson, their grandfather Max Tennyson and his best friends Julie Yamamoto, Cooper Daniels, Lucy Mann and Kevin Levin. On their first night camping, Ben goes for a walk through the woods when he stumbled upon a mysterious pod that fell from the sky with a mysterious watch-style device named the Omnitrix. The device then jumps up and permanently attaches itself to his left wrist giving him the ability to transform into a variety of alien life-forms each with its own unique skills and powers. They are later joined by an alien robot nicknamed Zeke along with two Galvans Blukic and Driba. With his newfound superpowers Ben has to learn the responsibilities of being a hero. During their vacation, the group encounters many supervillains and attacked by various enemies ranging from space aliens to supernatural entities.
