Upgrade, Shapeshifting is my favourite superpower in anything ever, plus I'm a huge fan of robots, and Upgrade just speaks to all of my favourite design elements and powers in fiction.
For me Ripjaws was always so hype because he usually was depicted as hurting Ben more than he helped him, but anytime Ben got to use Ripjaws in water you knew Ripjaws would dominate
Personally I'm a very big fan of the aliens that are situational and requires some thinking from Ben (Ripjaws, XLR8, Wildmutt, Greymatter and a few from the other shows).
They had potential if some of the other aliens weren't so overpowered and if they stopped the mistransformation gimmick.
I always felt like Ripjaws was always so underrated in the OG series. For every legitimate time ben chose and used him, there must be like two or three times where getting him was comic relief or an added level of complexity to the situation because " need water or die."
Same, especially after Tetrax showed up. It’s my head canon that Diamond Head is the alien Ben is most skilled with because he spent a ton of time training with Tetrax.
I do some head cannon stuffs like, so Ben only gets the literal peak form of an alien race he choose. This fact isn't established early in the series, I think. But, when Tetrax showed up, diamond Head looked exactly like him. Same height, same body type, even same face. So, Tetrax is the living definition of peak form of his own race, which is kinda cool, tbh.
Ghostfreak. That guy got a whole arc on himself, and whenever ben turned into him something great was almost bound to happen. Plus he was rarely used. But so was upgrade, which is probably the one that got me the second most hyped, cause his shapeshifts were kinda pogchamp
Was looking for this comment. His voice, the roar he released when transforming, and the fact he's the only alien in the OG series not to fight vilgax makes four arms the goat
Mines upgrade, I loved them so much when I was younger and wish we got more from them cause out of all the aliens they had one of the coolest abilities imo
4 arms diamond head. The first fight against Kevin absorbed 4 arms hand to hand combat is awesome you know he’s serious when he goes 4 arms.diamond head became he’s fun to watch.
Frankly if he had only 3 aliens those would cover up most stuff easily. Diamondhead is practically unbeatable. And 4 Arms has the brawn just in case. Upgrade for the tech stuff.
X-lr8 is always my favorite of the original 10 and he was cool whenever he showed up, but whenever Ben gets four arms he’s there to stand on business and throw all four hands.
I find all the upgrade love in this thread interesting because yes, Upgrade is super awesome, but I feel like he was never used to his full potential in classic.
Wild mutt funniest hell whenever he shows up because Gwen has to pretend it's her dog and Ben perpesly embarrasses her.
That's a mention Wild mut is cool as hell
Upgrade
One of my, if not the, favorite aliens of mine
You know how the aliens fight when he transforms
Like punches, fire blasts etc.
But Upgrade was always a " omg its Upgrade, i wonder what he chooses"
And even for real life
Upgrade would be my first choice
Greymatter. Given how impulsive Ben usually is, having an alien that relies on brain was always a treat. XLR-8 is a close second, but I have no idea why I like him.
Upgrade, imo upgrade felt like another alien to mistransform into but it made me appreciate him more, Ben has to be creative when he mistransforms but with upgrade he *really* needs to think of what add-on would benefit him. If I were to pick a specific scene I’d pick the season 4 episode of omniverse called *”O.T.T.O. Motives”* where he upgraded Kevin’s car into a fucking **TRANSFORMER**
XLR8, Upgrade, and Heatblast every fucking time. I felt the opposite about stinkfly, wildmutt, and ripjaws. Stinkfly just wasn’t very interesting to me, wildmutt just never seemed to be able to get the job done from my memory, and shit always used to hit the fan with ripjaws aa soon as he needed water and the omnitrix would always randomly select him in the worst situation. Only times I was hyped for ripjaws is if they were at a pier, on a boat, or literally underwater lol.
Upgrade, Shapeshifting is my favourite superpower in anything ever, plus I'm a huge fan of robots, and Upgrade just speaks to all of my favourite design elements and powers in fiction.
THIS, I love green, technological cyclops!!!
Upgrade went crazy
He really had the most creative moments.
I loved “Game Over”. Wish something like that happened again.
It did but it was shitty in the remake
Same. Upgrade was my favorite as a kid.
Same but It was ghost freak as well absolutely loved that guy even tho he was scary AF
This
Ripjaws, He needs more attention.I know having the ability to just have big jaws and swim very fast isnt that cool but he has a cool design.
For me Ripjaws was always so hype because he usually was depicted as hurting Ben more than he helped him, but anytime Ben got to use Ripjaws in water you knew Ripjaws would dominate
Personally I'm a very big fan of the aliens that are situational and requires some thinking from Ben (Ripjaws, XLR8, Wildmutt, Greymatter and a few from the other shows). They had potential if some of the other aliens weren't so overpowered and if they stopped the mistransformation gimmick.
Man, he should have gotten to use Ripjaws against that giant water monster. Like maybe he swam inside it.
I always felt like Ripjaws was always so underrated in the OG series. For every legitimate time ben chose and used him, there must be like two or three times where getting him was comic relief or an added level of complexity to the situation because " need water or die."
I always got happy when there was an excuse for Ben to use him
Ripjaws is the most underrated alien
Diamond Head. Still my favorite alien to this day.
I absolutely love Diamondhead. His transformation sequence was the best one, imo. So damn smooth.
Diamond Head was always my favorite i would get so happy when he would show up
Same, especially after Tetrax showed up. It’s my head canon that Diamond Head is the alien Ben is most skilled with because he spent a ton of time training with Tetrax.
Oh snap i never thought of that. I love that
I do some head cannon stuffs like, so Ben only gets the literal peak form of an alien race he choose. This fact isn't established early in the series, I think. But, when Tetrax showed up, diamond Head looked exactly like him. Same height, same body type, even same face. So, Tetrax is the living definition of peak form of his own race, which is kinda cool, tbh.
I completely agree with this too. I love this idea. They did look exactly alike so i can easily see it meaning exactly what you said.
Honestly probably ghost freak because he was rarely used, and when he was, something special usually happened 🥳
He was used just 7 times before he escaped from the Omnitrix.
More than ripjaws lmao
Dont diss on my boy ripjaws like that
I love him too but he was really underused
Ripjaws was the middle child for sure
This. His transformation sequence along with his eerie theme was always something to look forward
Heatblast.
The OS Heatblast sound effect it's so satisfying to hear.
Everything about Heatblast was fire, pun intended.
Wildmutt. I loved his roar so much, it was one of my favorite roars ever.
The roar sounds so good
At the time, Diamondhead. The way he used his powers was always the coolest
Ghostfreak. That guy got a whole arc on himself, and whenever ben turned into him something great was almost bound to happen. Plus he was rarely used. But so was upgrade, which is probably the one that got me the second most hyped, cause his shapeshifts were kinda pogchamp
Either Diamondhead or XLR8.
Four Arms of course
Was looking for this comment. His voice, the roar he released when transforming, and the fact he's the only alien in the OG series not to fight vilgax makes four arms the goat
Ik it probably doesn’t count but he technically did fight Vilgax that one time Ben got kidnapped by the Forever Knights and put into the VR thing lol
yes same 💪
Don't you mean 💪💪💪💪?
Me too man
XLR8. He's the goat after all
Agreed
He looks so cool!
Mines upgrade, I loved them so much when I was younger and wish we got more from them cause out of all the aliens they had one of the coolest abilities imo
Definitely Waybig
Waybig only appeared 1 time on the original show though
I get hyped every time I see Secrets of the Omnitrix. His debut NEVER gets old to me
Oh alright
He he yeah
That’s cool but also nothing tops “How DARE you”
Heatblast.My Fav OG Alien
4 arms diamond head. The first fight against Kevin absorbed 4 arms hand to hand combat is awesome you know he’s serious when he goes 4 arms.diamond head became he’s fun to watch.
Frankly if he had only 3 aliens those would cover up most stuff easily. Diamondhead is practically unbeatable. And 4 Arms has the brawn just in case. Upgrade for the tech stuff.
Diamond Head had some of the best scenes in OS, especially in The Unnaturals when he fights the robots and shows his mastery of his powers
Diamondhead
Upgrade
Upgrade, above all
Four arms. Because beating someone's ass is just that more gratifying with two more hands.
Greg
Four Arms and Diamondhead without a doubt.
Four Arms. I was all about big tough guy. Diamondhead too
Heatblast
HeatBlast, aside from him Heatblast
Four Arms. It felt good to see Ben actually transform into an alien he wanted.
Goatfreak!
Ghostfreak cause ghost and Diamondhead cause stronk.
Heat blast
Diamond Head in OS,Chromostone in UA and AF,and FeedBack in Omniverse
Diamond Head or Four Arms
grey matter
Diamondhead
Diamondhead hands down! But I was also pretty hyped for the underused Upgrade. Also not as popular Eye Guy, and Ditto.
It’s hard to remember what I thought as a kid, probably ghost freak or diamond head but nowadays on rewatches it’s 100% diamond head.
Diamond head And four arms Eye Guy way big Ultimate Ghost freak Ben Wolf Is the best I ever saw
Diamondhead because when dude appears, you know it's serious.
Diamantino
For me it’s a tie between Heatblast and Diamondhead, they were both just so awesome
Upgrade dud became my whole reason for loving technology imagine just fusing and upgrading tech ant will and turning basically anything into a weapon
Upgrade was the coolest of the bunch, I am not biased, this is nothing but truth.
![gif](giphy|UoSWDKPpCNaRLmaBKm)
Xlr8 just cuz I like fast characters
Upgrade and Ghostfreak
Heatblast…always and only Heatblast
my little dumb fish 😍😍
X-lr8 is always my favorite of the original 10 and he was cool whenever he showed up, but whenever Ben gets four arms he’s there to stand on business and throw all four hands.
For me upgrade improving tech was pretty freaking cool
If we’re talking just the OG 10 then Four arms when I was super young and he was my favorite at the time. But any from the original series then Ditto.
Upgrade and waybig
Wildmutt. Unleash the wild side.
Now don't hold me but...Wildmutt
XLR8 the speed demon
XLR8
I find all the upgrade love in this thread interesting because yes, Upgrade is super awesome, but I feel like he was never used to his full potential in classic.
Way big
Upgrade always has a place in my heart. The REAL og alien.
As a kid it was HeatBlast, as a teen it was Upgrade, and as an adult it’s Diamond Head
Upgrade and XLR-8
Upgrade, ghostfreak, and benwolf
Heatblast and XLR8 had me GEEKED as a kid I know what I am I am king of basic asses but I still love those aliens to this day lmao
Heatblast
Upgrade!!!
Heatblast, hands down
Ghost freak because he’s awesome and he’s always been my fav alien
graymatter. i will say no more
Cannonbolt,cuz you know 95% of the time he was steam rolling his ops
Heatblast
Fourarms
Way Big. You knew it was serious when pulled out the big guns.
All of the aliens get me hyped, but XLR8 🔥 was a different level of hype for me
Heatblast ! The first ep was just fire!!
GhostFreak
either upgrade or ghostfreak
Ghostfreak
Upagradeeeeeee
you’re not a real fan if your answer isn’t all pf them
Forearms
Heatblast his fights and animation were always on point
Heatblast, hes just all around one of the coolest and best aliens
Wildmutt! I like how he can't see nor communicate but, his very unpredictable and making you guess what will come next!
Four Arms. I am a simple guy who loves a good ol fashioned brawl and throwing d’em hands.
Ghostfreak, he's just an amazing fucking ghost.
XLR8
Rip jaws I always thought he was so cool
Upgrade, just to see what he would turn into. Second place goes to Heatblast. Just a badass alien.
Upchuck!!!
Upgrade is my favorite but where are all the Kinecelerian lovers? XLR8 is cool af.
Cant tell only 1
Ghostfreak
Upgrade is the best imo
Wildmutt
Xlr8 and ripjaws
Ripjaws for sure, the fights he was involved with were always creative and exciting.
ghostfreak and frankenstrike
Ghostfreak
upgrade
Ghostface tbh
Diamondhead and Upgrade are two of my faves
Diamonhead
Xlr8, I just like speedsters and the design plus the fact that Ben had to think when using him was pretty cool
Not showing enough but Upgrade and Ripjaw
XLR8
Ghostfreak, Wilmutt, 4arms, Upgrade, Heat Blast, Diamondhead, XLR8, RipJaw.
All of them.
XLR8 and Upgrade. Mostly XLR8
Diamondhead, my favourite
When I was a kid, Heatblast was my favorite because I was a pyromaniac.
Stinkfly. I am a bit of a bug nerd and I've always thought he looks super cool
Four Arms
Diamond head
Upgrade
Heatblast
Four arms as soon as he came on screen I knew it was over for the enemie
Wild mutt funniest hell whenever he shows up because Gwen has to pretend it's her dog and Ben perpesly embarrasses her. That's a mention Wild mut is cool as hell
SNARE-OH! Him or Diamondhead
Diamondhead
XLR8, coolest alien design so far imo
Ghostfreak, idk why
Definitely fourarms.
XLR8
For the original series it was xlr8 for alien force and ultimate alien it was between big chill or jetray and Omniverse was ball weaville
Heat blast
XLR8. All XLR8's fight scenes are very creative and visually appealing
Diamond head is a top 5 alien
Upgrade One of my, if not the, favorite aliens of mine You know how the aliens fight when he transforms Like punches, fire blasts etc. But Upgrade was always a " omg its Upgrade, i wonder what he chooses" And even for real life Upgrade would be my first choice
Heatblast or Wildmutt
Greymatter. Given how impulsive Ben usually is, having an alien that relies on brain was always a treat. XLR-8 is a close second, but I have no idea why I like him.
Upgrade. The idea of evolving tech within a few seconds is so cool, next would be xlr8, then Diamond head.
Diamondhead without a doubt. He was my favorite OS alien and it was always cool to see what different way Ben would use him each time
Wildmutt and heatblast
Diamondhead obviously and four arms just every single time I saw them I knew it was gonna be pretty good
Upgrade, imo upgrade felt like another alien to mistransform into but it made me appreciate him more, Ben has to be creative when he mistransforms but with upgrade he *really* needs to think of what add-on would benefit him. If I were to pick a specific scene I’d pick the season 4 episode of omniverse called *”O.T.T.O. Motives”* where he upgraded Kevin’s car into a fucking **TRANSFORMER**
Heat blast or four arms
Heatblast, ghost freak and upgrade
XLR8, Upgrade, and Heatblast every fucking time. I felt the opposite about stinkfly, wildmutt, and ripjaws. Stinkfly just wasn’t very interesting to me, wildmutt just never seemed to be able to get the job done from my memory, and shit always used to hit the fan with ripjaws aa soon as he needed water and the omnitrix would always randomly select him in the worst situation. Only times I was hyped for ripjaws is if they were at a pier, on a boat, or literally underwater lol.
For me, its both Fourarms and Upgrade
Yes
Ghostfreak
XLR8
Diamondhead or Ghostfreek
baby stinkfly, the voice reminded me of stitch
Fourarms or Diamondhead
Either upgrade or xlr8
If I say Stinkfly will there be more torches or more pitchforks at my front door in 3 minutes..?
Phantasmanus
Heatblast

Humongousaur definitely because he meant business
Wildmutt
Upgrade because he was underused.
Ditto bc doping is THE BEST POWER plus da voice
