Ben 10
From MediaWiki
- Ben 10 is a human from outside the Animated continuity family (via Ask Vector Prime).
Ben 10, real name Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, is a young superhero with the power to turn into one of ten aliens. This selection of alien forms has greatly increased over the years.
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
Vector Prime had developed a fondness for Ben and was impressed by his adventures. He also speculated that his home reality, located somewhere beyond the multiverse, may have interacted with a Malgus Cluster universe at some point, allowing his foe Khyber to collect Cybertronian artifacts.

Notes
- The Ask Vector Prime entry is a nod to how Derrick J. Wyatt would move on to produce Ben 10: Omniverse, which features Easter eggs from Transformers Animated.
- Throughout his appearances, Ben is voiced by Tara Strong as a kid and Yuri Lowenthal as a teenager. As an adult, Ben was voiced by Fred Tatasciore in the original series and Judd Nelson in Omniverse.
- The Omnitrix aliens Ben transforms into have been collectively voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, John DiMaggio, David Kaye, Eric Bauza, Bumper Robinson, Jim Ward, Rob Paulsen, Josh Keaton, Paul Eiding, Roger Craig Smith, Travis Willingham, Steve Blum, Max Mittelman, Kevin Michael Richardson, Corey Burton, Todd Haberkorn, and David Sobolov as well as Lowenthal, Tatasciore, Nelson, and Strong.
- The Omniverse Omnitrix's icons, which represent each of Ben's alien forms, were inspired by the Autobot and Decepticon insignias featured in Animated.[1]
- Ben has a toy that suspiciously looks like Bulkhead in his room.
- One of Ben’s transformations, Upgrade, was able to turn a car, specifically the one owned by his friend Kevin, into a robot in a similar fashion to Cybertronians transforming from vehicle mode to robot mode. Although Kevin’s car ended up in ruins after Ben used it to fight Otto, who was in a form similar to a combiner at the time.
- Otto’s combiner form was going to be named “Otto-Bot”, but a bunch of lawyers told the show writers to not be naughty copy cats.
- A couple of years after Omniverse ended, Derrick J. Wyatt would illustrate a Cybertronian transformation for Ben named “Decimus Prime”, which was a repaint of the sort of robot mode mentioned above. The bad news is that Decimus Prime can’t be considered canon since he was made after the show ended.
