RULES:
The Ultimate Evolutionary Simulation (UES) is the Ultimatrix Program that forces Alien DNA to evolve by processing it through a simulated war zone, until a combat-centric evolutionary change occurs. This simulation generates numerous variable threats, so you never know exactly how the alien would change.
1) Color Palette Must Change; All Official Ultimates have a different color scheme than their base form.
2) Trade Off; The Ultimate must gain a new ability and lose something in order to get it. (previous power or physical feature)

The ultimate spidermonkey looking like a tarantula from behind is genius
I mean, who's to really say that it's "behind" with that omnijointed limb situation he could just as easily have the mouth be on the back of the head
It takes arachnophobia to a whole new level.
Is it me or does the redesign ultimate echo echo reminds me of wildmutt and wildvine
Most of Ash’s ultimates are genius
Duke's Dear Freja looking ass
Imagine instead of the Ultimates leaving, the Ultimatrix just ejects all of the missing legs that Ash took from the aliens
What?
@@reignellwalker9755 it's supposed to be the fact that ash doesn't give many legs to ultimate
So wait he actually lost the aliens?
I always thought that the ultimatrix is just able to turn any alien into ultimate, even after the pg 5 left
@@kannan07 No yeah he could transform into them again
Ultimate Alien X has all the legs. It's a leg hoarder.
With the Ultimate Spider Monkey, I could just imagine Ben yelling after the battle, "Kevin! Gwen! I can see out of my butt!"
This I can picture
Trie
Reboot Ben would say that
Wonder if Ash will tackle Reboot aliens like Serge, Slapback, and Gax for example
@@ksoundkaiju9256 or omniverse aliens
@@quranbooker6655 well ash did say he’d tackle all canon aliens sooner or later
So yeah he’ll definitely do the omniverse aliens
He already did Whampire
You turned ultimate big chill from a stupid recolor to an eldritch mountain demon, and i could not love it more.
I feel like there’s a reason why Ult Big Chill is just a recolour it might be due to its asexual reproductive nature. As creatures that reproduce asexually barely have any selective variations instead have mutated genes because of that they can only evolve this far
I'm going to be honest, I really like ultimate big chill. When I was a kid and I heard "Ice so cold it burns" I thought it was pretty cool, it was some heat, smooth as ice, chillin like a villain, fire. Other generic fire and ice puns.
@@Dibioustrue same here I really like the red version or ultimate version of big chill it's just Soo cool but ORash make it even better in the video in my opinion it really fits with the ongoing chilling feeling of big chill...🤔
@@Dibiousyep i love ultimate big chill too but i can see why others may find it bland personally i like that about some of these ultimates because i like evolution
I’m not sure if this was intentional, but I feel like giving Ultimate Big Chill thermal vision could actually help against his predator’s hypnosis.
I also think the same thing
That actually like his creation of ultimate heatblast developing a way or method to fight back their natural predator also work on his ultimate stinkfly because the goo bomb one are now more offense against bug lizard while normal lepidopterran slime can easily get rid off
well the evolution system was meant to place the transformation in the worst possible scenario for a million years(?) and see how it would evolve to survive so that's understandable
😊
😊
1:55 To answer the question of "Why the hell is he a giant turtle?", Ultimate Humungousaur is supposed to be like an Ankylosaurus, who were basically dinosaurs with protective back plating and clubs on their tails to help combat larger carnivores. Also explaining why he has the mace tail and why his helmet looks the way it does if you've seen what an Ankylosaurus looks like
Good to know.
Best dino
One of my favourite dinos
Ult humongousaur is an ankylosaurus
Full size humongousaur is a stegosaurus
Then wtf is the original & the reboot supposed to be?! A humanoid trex tht took steroids & a shunosaurus?
i dont expect the average person to know alot about dinosaurs
but as an artist, your knowledge should be more expansive to make more unique and inspired art
it would have cool if he based ult humongo on various dinosaurs like stegosaurs and stuff like that
1:54 Ultimate Humungousaur isn’t a turtle, he’s actually become an Ankylosaurus which is why he has a shell as well as the mace on his tail. And I actually love how the designers leaned into making him a more of a specific dinosaur. He’s also tied as my favorite alongside Ultimate Echo Echo.
I looking at the design, you’re right .even his head is more ankylosaurus like
Yeah, and he has the iconic Ankylosaurus ability of shooting lasers.
Turtles are actually dinos too 😅😅😂
@@andrecosta8680 no?
He's a FF14 damage sage @@SuperDestroyerFox
Seeing the continued “mmm, no that’s not quite right” in the Timelapse is amazing
"The louder he gets the faster he goes."
I immediately imagined Ultimate Echo Echo just zooming by with Deja Vu by Intial D playing as he does so.
Animators you know what to do
I can hear this and I’m worse for it😓
Ben would do that
GAS GAS GAS
either that, or he becomes sonic himself
i know i’ve commented this before, but I love how the ultimates are monstrous/kaiju-esque. the idea of ben becoming something so large and losing his humanity overtime in ultimate alien would really play with the central themes of the show
Edit: I would’ve wanted the Ultimatrix to essentially be Ben’s version of the symbiote to Spider-Man. It makes him insanely strong, but overtime, makes him more animalistic and aggressive towards his foes and allies. I wanted him to lose himself with the power, and by the end of the series, he gets the sword that lets him change reality and eliminate anyone who stands in his way, but ultimately makes the better decision after learning what happens when someone gains TOO much power.
The episode where the ultimates came to hunt ben down would be awesome with these designs and would play more into the doomsday scenario simulation that created them
Maybe if ghostfreak came back and somehow managed to have a party of ultimate dupes against Ben would b so cool
“I wanted to scare them, not myself”
- Ben when he transformed to scare off the press
Oh I love that idea, and it would work great with an idea I would have done if I wrote Ultimate Alien. I think it would have also helped the themes of the show if when Ben used the Hyper Evolution Function, the Ultimate Form replaced the regular alien in the playlist.
So, if Ben was to go Swampfire, then evolved it into Ultimate Swampfire. Ben would lose regular Swampfire, as Ultimate Swampfire replaced the original transformation. This is an idea I had because the Ultimatrix is supposed to be a weaponized version of the Omnitrix, and is already altering the DNA of the transformation when using the Hyper Evolution Function. So why would you design a weapon where you need to go through all these extra steps to do the same task over and over again.
This not only gives consequences to Ben spamming the Hyper Evolution Function, but if we went with your idea, they could have made it so Ben would act more aggressive and unstable the more he used the Ultimates.
@@mmstudios4538 couldnt ben just find a way to basically hard or factory reset the ultimatrix to fix the playlist
@@ksoundkaiju9256 Probably something he would need Azmuth to do, but I was just sharing how I would have handled the Evolution function. Especially because this way we would have seen the Ultimates more often.
Dude just straight up managed to make ultimate spidermonkey and big chill the absolutely most *_TERRIFYING_* aliens
18:12 also, that must be the coolest " ultimate **alien name here** " i've ever heard
Big Chill
@@tomascastilloleyton6848 i know it's Big Chill, what i meant was that everytime Ben transforms into an ultimate (or any alien at all) he calls out its name and i think that the "ultimate big chill" was the coolest in this video
@@WisteriaTCH Oh ok, i thought you didn't know the alien's name.
Zs'skayr is more terrifying
Bugaboon is definitely my favorite. Using the world's largest monkey and spider as ultimate form is genius and that big spider from the back is the cherry on top of this perfection!
On this day, Ash did the unthinkable...
He gave an Ultimate legs
My legs! 😂
Crazy
an extra leg at that
seems like I've come to a different universe😳
“Giving him an extra leg”
Ash: maybe I don’t want to be the bad guy anymore.

Thx I always try to look for comments like theese
@@30_bees14 Sure thing 😉
I liked Ultimate Big Chill's power as a visual. I think they could have played with it in the ice spreading, or the fire being able to blast through walls before "freezing".
That Ult Big Chill redesign was the most insane glow up
Truee
spidermonkey too tbh
I haven’t seen it yet 9:03 as long as it’s not just red and orange big chill
No cap. But seriously, the ult big chill in the show is just his wonky shiny pokemon form design wise 😭
I like how some of these redesigns are very easily turned into horror monsters. It really plays in to the fact that these aren't natural. Bugaboon, Shutterswarm, Blistermoss, and Chainscale definitely seem like the kind of monsters you'd see in "Genetic manipulation gone wrong" horror games
It makes sense though they are aliens some of which very feral so they’d look quite scary
Sorry I ruined the holy number...😬
It's what happens when you get sent into thousands of years of evolution in the worst way possible for you to end up like that.
To be fair with aliens that have high intelligence like humans shouldn't evolve to grotesque features or lose any limbs.
@@jacobmulligan3832 then again
Maybe that’s why the ultimates in the show probably were kinda mid
They wanted something that was cool, but wasn’t gonna give the kids nightmares and affect toy sales
This is what happens when you’re an interesting premise
But you’re a kids show that’s heavily affected by toy production
You'll probably never see this, but I've always loved ultimate big chill and his concept! I liked the idea of a 'moth drawn to a flame' pairing with his 'fire', and thought up the idea that he could project flames that draw the heat out of things to fuel themselves, in a way 'flash-freezing' them!
If you think of how he could use the temporal fracture, it'd mean that anything his fire touches would instantly super-heat, then freeze over, and then in turn shatter! This however would mean he could no longer make long-standing ice structures. In addition, he could focus these flames within himself, allowing him to 'eat heat'!
I think it'd be cool to see like instead of breathing out, him now breathing in to consume heat, leaving things frozen and causing his body to become hotter and hotter, until it ignites!
Additionally, I thought that this concept would keep it's intangibility, rather losing its resistance to cold and actually a weakness to it! After all, the flames require heat to burn and glow brighter, and they would live in a warmer climate!
It'd be interesting to see a frozen battlefield, in which ultimate big chill only steps on the parts of which the flames are remaining!
Anyways, just wanted to drop that idea!
The way the Ultimatrix works is that it forcefully evolves an alien to help it better survive combat. Of course, that's a bit of a subjective thing, meaning it probably puts the DNA through some kind of algorithm.
*Meaning* theoretically, Albedo messing with the Ultimatrix's ultimate algorithm could make any and all ultimate redesigns canon.
That’s cool Idea I think the ink tank should take. Tinkering with The Ultimatrix could alter the Survival Evolution Simulation into different Ultimate forms
If I remember correctly,
The Ultimatrix basically puts the alien in a simulation where it has to survive in a war or battle and as time goes, the alien begins to adapt and evolve into a new form to be able to protect itself better and gain new abilities to further support the alien in fighting and after that's done, the alien will be ready for Ben to use it's ultimate form
I was a huge dinosaur nerd as a kid, so when I saw the Ultimate Humongosaur design I thought "oh cool! An ankylosaurus!" which actually does fit because regular Humongosaur has some stegosaur features (notably the thagomiser, but the armour on his back when he grows looks kinda like the back-plates that some of stegosaur's cousins had) and ankylosaurus was from the same lineage of dinosaurs
yeaah me too!!
I am confused about why he makes the connection on Ultimate Humongosaur resembled a turtle more than Ankylosaur.
@@rayhanmustakim7073 He probably wasn't aware of the ankyloasaurus.
@@user-in1gv1uh2v O.R.Ash clearly wasn’t a dinosaur kid. Ankylosaurus was, like, a top 5 dinosaur.
@@tylercoon1791 Could be. To be fair I heard the name but had no idea what it looked like.
Being introduced to the concept of Jam skating and Jam skating professionally at once broke my mind
Same here.
I’m actually more surprised by the fact he used to RUN the skate rink. Like he owned a whole skate rink once.
At 5:44 I love the progression of ideas to the finalized ultimate swampfire because it looks so funny and you can see their thought process. “I got it, Knight!” “No Super Knight” “No beast with a giant arm” “How about two giant arms?” “F*ck it, BEAST KNIGHT WITH TWO GIANT ARMS!” “Guys I got it,… mushroom tree”
Tbh I like that he goes from a T-Rex to an Ankylosaurus going from an aggressive dino to a defensive one
I wouldn’t call Humungousaur a T-Rex, tbh I associated him more with a Brachiosaurus because of his long-ish neck and flat teeth.
@@Je-S1001 TBH I can see that now that you mention it
We've talked about the leg thing a lot but I think it's also funny how all your Ultimates have the longest arms imaginable. just. grabbing things from a whole zipcode away. Beautiful stuff Ash
The real trade-off is losing legs for fucking huge arms
Greg thinks he can go away? Nah, man, Ben goes ultimate and grabs him from the stratosphere
Whole zipcode away 🤣🤣 man I'm laughing way too hard at that
I came here to comment this😂😂
Gotta remember that the ultimates had to be practical enough for them to make action figures for. I'm sure they thought of a bunch of cool designs but they needed to be able to make the standard 3inch figs for them
Probably
Not to forget they needed the designs to be simple enough to animate.
@@oneofakind9995 exactly no offence to Ash but i feel like this the reason his designs don't work they are way to complicated to be animated
@@darkousdragon1166 they could be simplify....or use a japanese e
Studio
@@andrewleyton6689 that's the thing if look the original ult swampfire that's exactly what they did they found the core of the design and simplified it for animation and Ash's design reversed that process
i love what you did with the redesign with ultimate spidermonkey! the original spidermonkey was already my favorite alien and you just making spidermonkey's ultimate more better is just amazing! and also the eyes on the but to look like a spider on the back, having multiple omni jointed arms are sick!!! you just made me relove my favorite alien
Imagine if Swampfire could just assimilate nearby flora and have alternate forms, like his bloomed version but specialized.
Also, Ultimate Echo making Ben learn Sambo, Kickboxing, break dancing and Capioera would be awesome
i don't think that body is great for grappling and ground fighting.
@@SalahuddinAyyubi-tu1pu exactly how would OR ASH Ultimate Echo echo/Basskick fair in a fight
Minor correction, in 17:14 you mention Ultimate Big Chill can make mass mithosis, actually this form of reproduction is budding, mithosis have to make 2 perfect copies, in budding you can make several clones way smaller than you
I love how ultimate echo echo could honestly get away with being an entire new alien from the same homeworld
something like petropians (diamond head) and crystalsapien (chromastone)?
@@captainpolar2343 yeah kinda
Your ultimate big chill design at around 15:48 looks like an even more advanced highbreed which would've be the ideal for them since they wanted to manipulate weather in early AF
personally the old ultimate echo echo looks better in my opinion but you did a lot better on the rest your such a good drawer
This version of ultimate echo echo is good in its own way, but the original is way to cool
I think it would be cool if there were alternate ultimates, heck ORAsh even does two ultimates per alien sometimes. So he could alternate between the old U.Echo-Echo and Basekick
One cool idea that you could do in the drawing matrix is creating your own Khyber Nemetrix predators. It would be cool to see predators for aliens that don't have predators like spider monkey, wild mutt, or even go crazy with it and make a predator for alien X.
I concur, the possiblities for predators of different aliens has been really cool to see in the fandom and I bet O.R.Ash would be stellar at it.
Also the idea that alien X has a natural predator but Upchuck is on the top of his food chain is hilarious
Spider monkey has the root shark from uaf
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 i'd personally like to imagine if the nemetrix ever scanned upchuck it'd either just brick itself trying to come up with a predator or just turn the user into a second upchuck
@@thebeardedaliengamer7103 The Nemetrix doesn't create predators, the species already exist, it just stores their DNA like the Omnitrix.
@@Jaymaxair i know, i just hadn't slept for a day or so when i posted that so my memory was a bit fuzzy
My favorite thing about original Spidermonkey was how well they combined the primate and arachnid aspects so well. The ultimate completely abandoned that. I’m so glad that you fixed that to be as smooth as the original.
I dunno, was a bit too much monkey and not enough spider.
I hated how ultimate spidermonkey was just a gorilla with spider legs coming out it’s back… at least spidermonkey did some cool design choices compared to 5 minute photoshop
I love the little concept sketches that keep popping up at the bottom. Anytime I see things like that I feel like if gives so much more character to the character.
I feel like Ash is really a fan of giving Ultimates density shifting. This is like...the third or fourth episode where he's given one of these boys that power. Not knocking it though! Just an interesting trend.
I LOVED the idea that Ultimate Big Chill is kinda like a mist ghost creating illusions, I also imagine he lowers the temperature of the mist to make it harder to breathe for the targets, thus cutting off air from their brains and making the illusions more believable for them
Yoooo.
The Spidermonkey and Swampfire designs that you had were *chef's kiss*
The idea of having the skeleton being that malleable and free form definitely is the epitome of my arachnophobia lol.
Ultimate big chill is far and away, my favorite of your redesigns. Theres just something about creepy moth characters that I love
Images of the Ultimates:
Ult.Humungosaur: 4:03
Ult.Swampfire: 7:25
Ult.Spidermonkey: 10:25
Ult.Echo Echo: 13:49
Ult.Big Chill: 18:14
I thought when he got to echo echo “Oh he’s not gonna remove any legs this time”, and then he did it, never change Ash haha
Your redesigns are just inherently better, that Ultimate Big chill concept is so flipping cool!!!
I feel the same way except I feel the original ultimate echo echo is better
@@digitalpickleridgy2971Yeah, both are interesting but Ultimate Echo Echo is the best of them, it's hard to improve on what's already really good.
I have to be for real tho, Shutterswarm (redesigned ultimate big chill) is tight af.
According to Derrick J. Watt, ultimate echo echo can actually duplicate himself using his disks and the reason why he didn’t before was because of a glitch in the ultimatrix.
Of course this should be taken with a grain of salt as the writers of Ben 10 seem to have different opinions on certain things in the franchise.
I love every redesign you create, it really feels like they could've been apart of the show if I had a time machine I'd send you back to become a designer for them. And honestly I like the concept of having more than one design for ultimate aliens because evolution doesn't just go 1 way if it did every living being would be a walking plant person with wings and a fish tail. I honestly cannot wait for the ultimate designs for Water hazard, NRG, Armadrillo, Terraspin, and Ampfibian are made. My favorite redesign of the video has to be spider-monkey.
Also, at the very least Ult. Swampfire actually follows the power trade off rule as he loses his non-evolved form's healing factor in favor of a stronger and tougher body, more powerful flames, and fire bombs.
There is no damn trade off rule. That’s a fan made headcanon there are clearly instances it’s not the case. Tired of hearing this
@@oakinw8361 yeah it never made sense to me how the ultimate version of a speciemen would lose one of it's core abilities when it becomes the most optimal version of itself..
@@oakinw8361 I don't it makes some sense for the most part 2 of the ultimates don't ever seem to be using their previous skills
@@shui804 it's for balancing purposes really, but yeah animals in real life do tend to lose certain stuff as they evolve, in order to fit with environmental changes and just to be more capable at surviving, so i think there is justification here
@@bluequacker balancing for what, there are reality warping aliens and such already so I dont see that as a reason but evolutionarily it makes sense since they are life forms and not just cosmical dust compressed into pure power like Alien X is
I have to say Ultimate Humungousaur is my personal favorite of the Ultimate Aliens. But. I genuinely really appreciate your interpretation and redesign of my boy. The scale armor manipulation is fun and the increased agility. So massive Kudos to you Ash.
mine's echo echo he's just a good boy
I think original Ultimate Humongousaur was a really good design for what it was for: killing a bunch of others of the base species. Spikes to make any attempt to punch it a bad idea, missile thorns from its hands that were apparently capable of killing a normal Humongousaur in one shot, and the shell was likely durable enough that even when their size increased to maximum, it still would have held firm.
For the record, Ultimate Humugousaur isn't a turtle, his design is based on an Ankylosaurus. Humugousaur is based on a dinosaur, a Stegosaurus. When he grows in size he even grows plates and spikes on his tail just like a Stegosaurus.
I was scared he would make Ultimate Humungousaur a Godzilla Rip Off but his redesign is actually pretty clever and I enjoyed it a lot.
Still prefer the original though.
@@theaustraliankangapus16 Well Humugousaur in his full-size kind of already looks like Godzilla
Imagine the scene where Ben uses Ultimate Spidermonkey to pin the leader/general of the Forever knights (I don’t remember if it was just a general or was their leader) to a wall, the same episode where the quote “Maybe you've forgotten something: I'm Ben Tennyson, wielder of the most powerful weapon in the universe. I stopped the Highbreed invasion, I defeated Vilgax in hand-to-hand combat and I've beaten the Forever Knights more times that I can count. Here's what's going to happen: you're going to release these prisoners, you're going to crawl back to wherever you came from and you're going to stop hunting down aliens because if you don't, I promise, you'll regret it for the rest of your very short lives.” comes from, but with this version of Ultimate Spidermonkey
These are awesome. But since this is the latest ultimate video I think I should tell you a detail about Ultimate evolution that you might’ve missed (not sure if its a canon detail though). The reason some ultimates like Ultimate Big Chill and Ultimate Cannonbolt are so underwhelming is because there is actually very little to improve upon. Some species are already at the apex of there evolution, so there is very little further evolution could “realistically” do to increase their power, and I assume the simulation would ignore any possibility that made the aliens weaker due to the evolution being solely based on combat potential.
Thats a bit of what I heard and my own headcanon.
14:52 maybe Bigchill is just the perfect species that can't evolve to be better
Maybe the art staff were lazy and couldn’t come up with a better concept
@@ksoundkaiju9256 yet from an evolution standpoint very few changes actually happen in actual evolution especially if the animal is already at it's peak for it's environment hence why cannonbolt also barely changes because it can already roll up perfectly and just making it more durable and stronger plus spikes to help with traction makes it more adapt for it's environment
@@digitalpickleridgy2971 the ultimatrix isn’t natural evolution
It forces genetic mutation through a *Virtual war that lasts millions of years*
Nature is brutal but it isn’t a literal war zone
ya like Alligators and cockroaches
@@cooper3814 Crocodilians like alligators and crocs have changed greatly over millions of years
there were many that varied in shape and size
Your ult Big Chill and ult Spidermonkey are leagues above their canon counterparts. I think the canon ult Swampfire and ult Humungousaur are already very cool and your designs definitely stand on equal footing (though I think I still prefer canon ult hum, I just like the tank turtle). Finally, I gotta say still prefer canon ult echo echo but my god did you make a worthy contender! Love this series keep up the good work
Ultimate Spidermonkey is genuinely terrifying and I would love to turn into that 👍👍
Again another *Amazing* Ultimate alien redesign. I hope one day you can do an Ultimate overhaul on the forgotten aliens like Spitter, Fasttracks, and Chamalien.
Something I've noticed that Ash does a lot is making very long and often large forearms. Usually patterns like this don't bother me, but he did this in 4 of the 5 designs for this video and it really stood out. I'm not saying that's a bad this as it also made Ult. Echo Echo stand out with it's HUGE legs and tiny arms which I love, but I think it's just something worth thinking about.
I must say that I enjoy the concept of spider monkey ultimate form from Albedo Omniverse. Because looks like his Omnitrix was built to literally ‘counter’ Ben’s aliens like: This spider monkey now has 3 pairs of arms with a tiny pair of legs, why? Because now with 6 arms he is stronger than Four Arms and can even use the spare pair of arms to balance himself while fighting. This concept you made is amazing too! What I’m saying is that the needed to push the ultimate forms into more fighting forms like you did to Humungousaur and BigChill, the Spier Monkey that looks like an Ape it’s just a big boi that can use spider legs. But in the Omniverse and now this video I can say you guys made an amazing work!
Glad to see someone appreciating albedo's a ultimates in the omniverse, it's surprising how little they get brought up in these redesign videos!
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 agreed, they are amazing even being almost the same ultimates from Ultimate Alien, their design are still amazing and some changes just got it amazing too
Albedo's Ult. Spidermonkey freaked me out lol
Rewatching the series and selecting my faves for each video. For this one, I like your new ultimate spidermonkey the most. The omnijointed limbs sound like they would be really cool (read as terrifying) to see in motion. Excellent concept. As for the second favourite I'm gonna go with your ultimate echo echo. I like that it is bottom heavy design wise and without a tail as compared to a lot of the aliens designs (not just yours) which are top heavy or tail focused. I think I still like the original more, but that might be the nostalgia speaking. The original was my favourite of the canon ultimates by a mile. That there is any comparison at all really speaks to how awesome your design is.
I wonder how Ultimate Juryrigg will be? He’s one of my favourite UA aliens, well at least his Omniverse Design.
I see Ultimate Big Chill’s fire as being the result of some craziness like cooling the victim down so quickly their heat is violently released as flames. Still pretty much just a reskin, but it is nice to put a why to it. Yours definitely did not disappoint, and is a much more worthy Ultimate to one of my favorite forms. Big Chill aside, I love the other ones too, especially Echo Echo. I wasn’t sure how you could go about making an Ult for him as good as the original, but you managed to do just that.
Back when I first heard that bit about how his fire works, I remembered I had read about some scientific studies about thermodynamics where they said something like, if somehow something was brought to a temperature above the maximum that the laws of physics allow, based on some interpretation of what it means to be at some temperature in some statistical terms, there was some weird mathematical quirk where above the maximum temperature the math says it in practice would wrap around and be bellow absolute zero, negative Kelvin, and because it would still have high energy it would still "cool" down, still heading towards zero, but from the other direction because it's negative, and it would absorb surrounding heat, heating up to reach a low energy state. I'm not sure how physical that is, kinda sounds a bit like how people extrapolate that since time slow down the closer you get to light speed, if you cross past lightspeed you go back in time (which is not necessarily what would actually happen, and it's not like there's any known physical way to actually even achieve lightspeed, only get infinitely close to it); but considering all the handwaving of real world laws of physics involved in the Ben10 universe(s), that sounds like it would fit right in, even better than some of the other stuff we've seen happen in the shows.
16:45 "I've got my whole life ahead of me" no you don't
Big Chill's coming 😂
You definitely have my sub, I can't believe I just discovered you 😭
And this is so well thought-out, like everything from littlest details of design and aesthetic to, to powers, abilities and execution is just "chefs kiss"!! 😘
Also with my fave Alien Big Chill honestly I was nervous because well he is my favorite, I remember at the time I always use him on the PSP game, and when the redesign came, it did not disappoint everything about it is just absolutely perfect, i love the thought of its powers now it's like a fusion of his former ones resulting in a Fog, Mists, and even Hot Steam or Ice Vapors that can again result on its small localized weather manipulation because of its Water Cycle type of thing!!
THESE ARE AMAZING REDESIGNS, and the elemental components correction made them even more special! Great job!
I'm curious how would you guys feel if Ultimate Wildmutt's design was instead how regular Wildmutt looked in UAF (minus the ability to speak)?
Pretty sure Ash talked about it, when he was designing Ultimates for classic aliens. Can't really remember his exact opinion but it definitely wasn't favourable.
He redesigned both waybig, wildmutt, and cannonbolt
@@theanimeunderworld8338 That's not what I said. I asked how he would feel if the design used for Ultimate Wildmutt was instead the design used for regular Wildmutt? Personally as an ultimate form I do agree that it's pretty underwhelming however I wouldn't mind it if it was the one used for regular Wildmutt because other than him being red it actually looks very similar to the one used by Ben 10 thousand in the classic series.
@@The_Phantasm yeah that's not Ultimate Wildmutt, more like adult Wildmutt or Wildmutt's cousin
Design is cool, not cool for being an Ultimate however
Still disappointing.
The idea of ultimate echo-echo just breakdancing while blasting GAS GAS GAS would be hilarious as an episode
OMG YES LOL
Your Ultimate Big Chill is so fucking cool like I can just imagine a scene where a small enclave of generic goons are bewildered at this fog that's inexplicably rolled in, rubbing at their eyes due to the humidity of it while Gwen and Kevin use it to cover their infiltration, and once they're in, Ben just reforms his body and they all go to town from the middle of the complex.
Like I think it would absolutely benefit from it's introduction not actually showing the transformation, one of the few times I've thought that
With the whole "story" of the ultimates, seeing how the would evolve after being put through years of war, swamp fire definitely makes the most sense out of all the og ultimates
Welcome back ink tank!
Congrats, your first

The redesigns are the best I've seen!!! I like them all, but without a doubt the best ones are Spidermonkey and Big Chill: the original Ultimate versions of these two always seemed ridiculous and pointless to me, but these redesigns do them more justice to what is the concept of an "Alien Ultimate" 😁
By the way, the idea for Echo Echo of 'Just Dance on Skates' is magnific.
10:31 Have you ever thought about making merchandise from the original aliens you created or from these ultimates? I would love a hoodie or t-shirt themed to this ultimate echo echo
"Why do I hear boss music....and why is it FUNKY???"
*Someone who encounters Basskick*
Ever since you redesigned ultimate wildmutt, cannonbolt and way-big i’ve been waiting for a while for you to do the others and it was worth the wait
That one shot of base kick looked kinda like earphone Jack.
I like the reference, no matter if it was intended or not.
I am already hyped for future episodes!
I have a lore concept for these forms. Basically my idea is that these are part of a different, newer UES worked on by Blukich and Driba based on Albedo’s original designs, but this one is a lot safer. But due to being a newer, different version, some of the pre-existing ultimates are different from the original ultimates.
The benwolf plus ditto comment really makes me think how some early alien force aliens could be considered combo deals of classic ones. Swampfire = Wildvine+heatblast, Big chill is artiguana+Ghostfreak. ect.
10:12 the face on the back is also cool from another biological stand point mimicry maybe on that planet theres something that eats even ultimate spider monkey but maybe no a certain spider species on that planet maybe because its poisonous or whatever so ultimate spider monkey could turn around and fool the predator idk just thought it might be a cool other reason for the face on the back
If I’m being honest I’m not always a big fan of the redesigns but spidermonkey is a massive improvement
I love the redesigns but honestly for ultimate echo echo I'd have it so I can switch between the 2 versions for different enemies like a seperate evolution playlist.
They're so cool and I really find them fabulous as well as functional, when you tried to think how they we're supposed to be and visualised with their anatomy and combat moves
I absolutely love what you do with the concept of Ultimates. Taking genuine consideration into what their powers and anatomy could evolve into (Or in certain perspectives, devolve...poor legs) is awesome. Also, Ultimate Spidermonkey is now probably arachnophobe nightmare fuel. Nice.
**Looks at redesigned Ultimate Spider-monkey as an arachnophobe** Well.... If y'all will excuse me, I need new, clean sheets and a couple gallons of gasoline to make me feel safe again.
(But seriously, all of these look awesome! Y'all are so creative it's mind blowing to me!)

Funfact: that’s exactly how irl grenades work. The blast is almost useless.
It’s the shrapnel that harms and kill.
You gave him _actual_ grenades.
This was a real trip down memory lane and all the re designs are amazing.
Ultimate Big Dino: 8/10
Nothing truly wrong with it , a definite improvement over the original very nice
Ultimate swamp fire: 9/10 I love it
Truly feels like a evolution of swamp fire
Ultimate spider monkey: 10/10
You made a seemingly boring ultimate alien into a unique and awesome alien
This one of the best you’ve made
Ultimate echo-echo: 5/10
Didn’t need a improvement but still this is definitely unique in its own way it’s not worse nor better then the original ultimate echo-echo it’s equal
Ultimate big chill: 10/10
Basically everything I said for ultimate spider monkey applies here
I loved Big Chill when I was a kid, I've always been a sucker for a cloaked character, and flying characters, also his voice just made everything he had to say so... cool. The guy was literally designed to be a superhero. Echo Echo was another one that I loved though it was more for the cuteness factor then he went Ultimate and his Ultimate is genuinely intimidating looking, the best one for me.
Honestly, I like your Ultimate Spidermonkey a lot more than the one in the show. Even as a kid it was my least favorite Ultimate. Spidermonkey is an adorable monkey in Alien Force/Ultimate Alien and he goes Ultimate and he's a gorilla with spider legs coming out of his back. I'd see him move around in the show or while watching someone play a video game and he just didn't feel like he carried any real strength when he moved. I think it's because the spider legs always looked so skinny and fragile.
Can't wait to see the next round of Ultimate redesigns.
Shutterswarm just hits right into my childhood, I LOVE Mothman! And you making it more ghost like by taking away his legs just works for me.
I love all of these but my favorites are Echo Echo and Big Chill. Great job and amazing art!
Welcome back guys!!
Couldn’t be more glad to see you guys finally return and start uploading again.
And with a new ultimates video of all things.
Here’s to a great year.
They recently uploaded their video schedule for February on Instagram. @theinstatank

He's also obviously a lot tougher.
Echo Echo in base form was weak and easy to take out individually but could afford to be due to copying.
but since his Ultimate form can't copy he obviously would have evolved a more sturdy suit.
10:24 The Ink Tank Studio looking at whoever dubbed the Ultimate Spidermonkey while wheezing.
That Ultimate Spider-Monkey feels 10x more intimidating than the original Ultimate
I think that it might be cool if Ultimate Big Chill had a loud and creepy breathe like a Darth Vader has
I absolutely loved Ultimate Echo-Echo and Spidermonkey! I really hope someone animations them in a flight or show off their unique movement styles! You did a fantastic job as always ♥️👍🏾
Thanks, I really liked the ideas you had and enjoued watching you draw them. It was fun!
bro you're an absolute legend, loved the spidermonkey and the bigchill
6:12 i can hear ultimate swampfire saying: "SCREAMING EAGLES!" like how tf2 soldier rocket jumps (and also, RIP Rick May)
Another set of homeruns. Ultimate Humungousaur looks absolutely amazing. You rarely can make dinosaur type creatures in general. Going the more armament aesthetic really looked like it payed off. Plus it makes makes him closer to a Brachiosaurs, so that also something I love. Speaking of things I love, I absolutely adored Ultimate Swampfire when he first came out. Oved the blue methane look. Very Titan AE vibes when I first laid eyes on him. Though they really just made him bigger and changed the look of his fire most of the time. So actually giving him a sort of specialized fighting style similar to a heavy support unit was an awesome idea, especially since the Ultimates are meant to be sort of like enhanced combat evolutions. I personally cannot tell you how much this version of Ultimate Spidermonkey unsettles me. Amazing job, well done! You already stated that everyone loves Ultimate echo-echo, I find it hard myself to think of how to change or improve him. You absolutely nailed the design and power sets. Though honestly, if he is now basically a breaking dancing DJ. I feel like his hands or maybe somewhere on his body should have actually incorporated some kind of DJ mixer or set up besides just his head. Besides that, everything looks superb. Personally I did not mind the original Ultimate Bigchill design, so I never really found out how much people hated it until I started watching your videos. Your change ups look so cool. Everything feels like a very unique and organic evolution. 100% on board with how he ended up.
17:01 actually that moths cant change colours they are like 2 people with different skin colours
I absolutely love every single one of these redesigns, just-
MM they all look so cool, and I love hearing about all of the concepting for their abilities! It really adds to their design and makes them seem that much cooler
👀
These remakes
They're beautiful
This ultimate echo echo feels extremly cool being a fan the silicon alien seeing his original ultimate was realy cool and seeing this is feels like even cooler
I think the main reason their design was simple is to make the action animation much easier
Very true, the ultimates ash draw are fire.... But also nightmares if u were to manually hand animate
If they were official, ben would use them for like only 2 minutes a season cause of the details
@@Sleepy_Cabbagethey would probably work in 3d
@@maniacgreen8609 then youd have to deal with all the practical effects if a alien can morph, alter or do all sorts of stuff to its body
@@Sleepy_Cabbage i said probably or as a comic so they you don't have to animate that
12:40 I would LOVE if a creature roared at him, he twists his head into a speaker, and explodes a GIANT sonic wave back towards the creature and show how his “reverb” works
And his smile is so cute I love it
