Omnitrix (Universe 3008)

## Omnitrix

* OS
* AF1
* AF2

## Features

* Universal Translator - The Omnitrix can automatically translate any word said in most known languages spoken across the universe.
* Extranet Access - The Omnitrix has full access to the Extranet, every query, compendium or source of info being at hand.
* Master Control - The user has unlimited access to all of the Omnitrix's features and functions.
* Quick Change - The wieldeer can change between forms without needing to transform back to his/her original form first.
* Timer/Fail-safe - Initially intended only as a training wheel, the fail-safe (with a standard 10 minute (EY) time limit) can also prevent the total takeover of the wielder by the alien DNA held within.

## Components

### The Core

The Omnitrix's core is essentially the hearth of the device which houses the DNA load driver, the transmutator, and of course, the Codon Stream, a series of DNA pods organized by circular rows on two annexes, giving the false impression of a non-euclidean flowing river to those looking from far away at it, the DNA displayed appearing to the untrained eye as water droplets in a stream of water making a total whole.

### DNA Containment Chambers

There are two primary DNA containment chambers (excluding the cache memory storage where Ben's DNA is kept). The Codon Stream/Well of DNA where the high majority of the DNA is kept and the Loading Chamber where the DNA of Ben's available transformations is kept. When Ben unlocks a new form from the preexisting samples said DNA pod will be moved to the Loading Chamber, if Ben himself obtains the form by coming into contact with a sentient organism whose DNA is not present within the Omnitrix's DNA database, the DNA sampled will be moved directly into the loading chamber without passing through the well of DNA.

### DNA Pods

The DNA pods as the primary container for the DNA samples held within, of the 10,903 DNA samples held within only a handful dozen have been revealed, most were there before Ben had obtained the device but he himself has managed to get his hands on quite a few new ones, notably Loboan, Mummite, Transylian and Chronian

## Known Aliens

### Original Series

The following list shows all known transformations during the timeframe of the **Original Series**.

### Legacy Vault

The following list shows notable transformations present within the Omnitrix which Ben might have used at some point throughout his life (outside of the main shows) be it in-canon of Universe 3008 or otherwise. The list also includes forms that the audience may know about but were never seen on-screen or were hinted at but never properly elaborated on.

## Modes

* Active Mode - When the Omnitrix is fully charged on Omni-Energy it is in active mode. The active mode allows use to all of the unlocked features of the Omnitrix such as genetic damage repairment and transformation. This mode is characterized by the signature green color which the Omnitrix' hourglass takes on when charged-up.
* Sampling Mode - When an organism whose species' DNA is currently uncatalogued in the Omnitrix DNA database is near the Omnitrix it will glow in its signature yellow color. Originally the donor had to place his hand (or any other body part) over the Omnitrix hourglass to take a samples of said individuals DNA, however as the Omnitrix self-improved with time the Omnitrix developed the ability to scan and sample unidentified species' from afar.
	+ If said being doesn't meets the minimum intelligence level to be considered sapient or its genetic comprisement is simply broken signaling it being a mutant the Omnitrix will reject its DNA and add it to a blacklist of sorts.
* Recharge Mode - When the Omnitrix is depleted of Omni-Energy it will shut-down everything beside its primary functions and go into a recharge-like state notorious for its red color.
* Recalibration Mode - When an user has taken the Omnitrix off for an extended period of time the Omnitrix will first need to recalibrate itself to accommodate the current physiology of the user. Standard recalibration results in a lock-up of all previously unlocked forms and the creation of a new base-ten playlist.

## Notes

1. ↑ Without ads hopefully.
2. ↑ People often misinterpret Eon's statement about the Omnitrix's 10 minute time limit in Race Against Time, it was never implied that ALL of the alien DNA present within the Omnitrix (and thus each and every single alien transformation) would overtake Ben if he stays as a particular form for more than 10 minutes. As shown with Ectonurites, some species have their consciousness, memory and personality encoded into their DNA by default, thus, this function came to prevent such a scenario.
3. ↑ After Ben turned back to human Neon's DNA was put into "quarantine" by the Omnitrix due to the unusual way it was obtained as Eon used his dominion over molecules to add his DNA within an unused DNA pod rather than the Omnitrix automatically sampling his DNA. This unusual process of obtainment also resulted in several irregularities clearly visible in Neon's first appearance such as sounding and looking exactly like his DNA donor. However these irregularities were later resolved by the Omnitrix.
4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 Named "posthumously".
5. ↑ Technically speaking, Gax was Ben's eleventh alien, preceding Cannonbolt, but since he was never seen on-screen and simply confirmed by the writers to have existed in the Classic Continuity as a means of explaining how Vilgax was able to keep telepathic contact with Ben, he is kept as a legacy transformation.
6. ↑ 6.0 6.1 More commonly known as Highbreed
