Omnitrix (Remnant)

The **Omnitrix** is a device worn by Ben Tennyson in *RWBY: Grimm Force*.

## Appearance

The Omnitrix is a bulky, grey, wristwatch-like device. It has two grey tubes running along the actual wristband of it, which attach to its core. The core, stylized like a green hourglass, has a grey rim and four green buttons. On either side of the core is a triangular button. When activated, the tubes glow green. Between the tubes, along the underside of the wristband, are slots to place additional Dust cartridges to swap out the ones in the core's loading bay.

## Functionality

### Activation

The Omnitrix's core displays icons representing each Dust type. Ben selects the Dust by pressing the button on the front of the device. When he has decided on the Dust or Dust combinations he's going to use, he presses the button on the back, readying the Dust cartridges. He then presses the core of the Omnitrix, activating his Semblance.

### Transformation

The Omnitrix is able to transform Ben into a number of transformations dependent upon which Dust or Dust combination he selects. This is in conjunction with his Semblance, meaning no one else is able to use this function of the Omnitrix unless they have something similar as a Semblance.

Dust made up of two other Dust types will have a different effect than if the two types are used separately. For example, Wind Dust and Water Dust create Ice Dust. If Ben selects the Wind and Water Dusts separately, he will get Jetray, but if he uses Ice Dust, he will get Arctiguana.

### Clothing

The Omnitrix generates clothing for transformations using the colors of the user's clothing. Not all transformations got clothes, such as Heatblast.

### Omnitrix Placement

The Omnitrix places its symbol in seemingly random locations upon transformation. The most common place for it to appear is the chest.

### Other Dust Uses

The Omnitrix has shown being able to utilize Dust without being used alongside Ben's Semblance, as he created a Hard Light shield to block bullets from Ruby Rose's Crescent Rose. This is the only feature someone else using the Omnitrix can use without a similar Semblance to Ben's.

## Trivia

* The Omnitrix's appearance is meant to combine that of its *Race Against Time* design, and the third design from the *Ben 10* Reboot. Its activation is similar to that of the Recalibrated Omnitrix in *Alien Force*.
	+ The icons are a nod to the display of the original series Omnitrix.
* Due to the nature of Ben's Semblance, the only means of getting a mistransformation is if Ben isn't paying attention to the Dust (combination) being activated, or if something happens to cause him to accidentally select something other than what he intended. He cannot select, for example, Combustion Dust and Rock Dust together and get anything other than Cannonbolt.
	+ The nature of Ben's Semblance also prevents fusions from happening, as the combination of two transformations' Dust would likely result in an entirely new transformation. That being said, Ben has yet to utilize any transformation that requires more than two types of Dust.
* The transformations with this Omnitrix are not referred to as aliens. This is because they are, in fact, not aliens. Rather, they are a result of Ben's Aura transforming him due to contact with Dust. The result is also somewhat caused by Ben's subconscious imagination. Hard Light Dust and Lightning Dust wouldn't necessarily create a large, intelligent crab by default, for example.
