PLEASE READ: This version of the video is not what I intended to upload. This was a test-render with multiple editing errors, which I’m sure you’ll see very clearly in the video. (i.e. Frankenstrike’s segment has extra footage that should’ve been cut, Clockwork’s segment was deleted, etc.) However, I have tried to re-render the video with the errors corrected four times, and the files keep getting corrupted. My computer is officially on it’s last few days, so I hope you’re at least still able to enjoy this version of the video.
Firstly; no problems. Secondly; computer problem buddies. Thirdly; My favorite aliens were always Heat Blast and Upgrade, those 2 have a lot of untapped potential.
My issue with some of the aliens is that they're only needed for very specific situations like Ripjaws so its hard to use him in episodes without water.
@@awsomedude23456 I feel like Ben loved using Ripjaws as much as the fans liked seeing him because literally anytime anything water related happens he immediately tries to turn into Ripjaws even if it doesnt make sense to
I mean, he was the alien Ben used to defeat the Techadon War robot when it first showed up, he can fit under incredibly small spaces, he can control his acidity he's hard to defeat due to his squishy one-celled nature and his regeneration is incredibly strong.
My favorite alien is the original Big Chill. The way his wings turned into like a cloak was so cool. Plus the intagibility felt really over powered 99% of the time. Second favorite spinturtle, cause i like the hover turtle.
Cant get over that overly buff Big Chill...i guess maybe because that a male Big Chill DNA as opposed to his original Big Chill DNA is female hence having those Small Chills And to better incorporate the DNA restructure transformation and not have any bug or glitch issues where the DNA will overwrite the Omnitrix user to do their own thing Its the whole premise in OG and AF that the Omnitrix was always a prototype and was simply an incomplete product Altho the recalibration did help alot since its internal AI basically taking past experience etc and Ben thoughts, current DNA etc and "perfected" for usage
I get they wanted to do something for OV, but they kinda did Chromastone and Big Chill dirty. Swampfire however made out like a champ in OV even if he lost most of his fights
@@Genesis-XE he was called big chill in AF despite being skinny. They had no reason to change it and him being bulky like that ruins the ghostly powers he has
10:29 The absolute dismay in Ash’s voice when he says, “You were gonna put him in _C?!”_ 🥺 I’m honestly with him, Upchuck’s kinda found a place in my heart over the years.
The fact that wildmutt is legitimately not that useful pains me because I love his design so much, same with Stinkfly and Ripjaws. Also weirdly loving the impressions for each alien
I mean he can be used to track some one down. Or lets say you are fight in the dark and you dont want to go with an alien that can light up the place so the enemy can see you. Other then that yeh he isnt all that usefull
@@perapapic3683 then again if Ben was fighting in the dark i would think a huge green flash would alert anyone in a dark room plus Wildmutt is quite loud and tracking someone down you can technically just turn into Clockwork
I don't know, it's not like he's only a dog, he's able to swing around trees like a monkey, he's pretty strong, pretty agile, he has sharp claws and teeth, he could be pretty useful outside of tracking things, though he's most useful as probably the best tracker Ben has.
Big Chill is my absolute favorite alien. The powerset, the UAF design, and the voice are all great but two things set it above the rest for me. His children give huge potential for stories to be told and I love that. The biggest thing is that he is partially inspired by Mothman, a legendary creature from my home state of West Virginia. That just puts him to the top for me.
Same he's my favorite alien in the alien force, the episode when he was with he's children was beautiful, everytime ben choses him I get goosebumps , I think he's underrated he's the coolest alien + alien x
@@edwarda.7864 I love how Big Chill's default AF design is his best design. Like, Ultimate Big Chill looks off and Omniverse Big Chill looks absolutely wrong.
I honestly really like Ball Weevil just because of how different he is compared to most of the other aliens in the roster. Being an insectoid alien with a small size makes him feel unique compared to most other tall and powerful humanoid aliens.
Wildvine introduced me to flytraps because we dont have such plants in my country. But his concept was overpowered when they released swampfire. He could do everything he can do, even better.
@@araccoonbutpurple6084 they are basing the ranks in regards to their relevance and their "iconicness". Not necesssarily meaning that one is much stronger/useful than the other. So i get it. Aliens that hasn't got much screentime are at the lower scale.
The episode of Omniverse where Brainstorm calculated The Vengers' defeat in the fight and had an entire plan for their downfall post-detransformation cemented him as one of my favorites. I'm also biased to the color red and lightning powers.
The best aliens design-wise are usually the ones that aren’t just anthropomorphic or slightly modified versions of earth animals. The original 10 executed that idea pretty well imo.
Disliking and straight hating are different. I'm more irritated people think I have an actual emotional opinion on him beyond just thinking he's nonsensical.
according to the derrick his face taps into the primordial fears locked in all beings' subconscious(as well as just plain nasty) and how his eyes have a trait that makes his already bad eyesight even worse when looking at multidimensional or unknowable sights his face seems to lean into the unknowable because paradox can overcome his fear and can see the face clearly
I feel like Diamondhead is the best alien. Not only because of his amazing skills and abilities, but because he is one of the most important aliens in the franchise. All the stories with Tetrax and Petropia, love it. And also Diamondhead is the only alien, other than Way Big, to actually defeat Vilgax. So yeah, he is a big deal
Another first fact about Cannonbolt is that he was the first alien to have his species name clarified. You’d think Vilgax would’ve mentioned at least one in the season finale, but nope.
@@betia4915 Yeah, Vulpamancers were the first name drop when Max teamed up with his old Plumber Partner. Cannonbolt's species was then named in the next episode; The Big Tick
Same. They’re kind of basic but all of their powers ticks the remaining missing boxes of Ben’s arsenal, other than electric powers. They have pretty decent designs as well, Water Hazard being my favorite. But NRG is probably one of the more unique one out of the 5.
Theyre my fave bunch :( Terraspin's fan concept is so cool for me as a kid. Especially when he fly like a fidget spinner and like on of those mario turtles.
I really like the unique versatility of their powers: Waterhazard - his exoskeleton is pretty durable Terraspin - he can't be harm by mana NRG - dude can literally become a nuclear bomb Armodrillo - the drill arms Ampfibian - can read minds
@@ardzzz1010 I like them too,, but the problem is those powers rarely have an effect in the show, poor ampfibian has it the worst with his mind reading being straight up forgotten. 99% of the time there powers are being a water gun, being a big fan, digging humongousour, and being yet another electric alien. I genuinely can't come up with one for NRG, because he is genuinely is unique... although his out of suit design is a major let down and is ugly as sin in UAF.
Something I want to just point out about Jury Rigg is that he's strong enough to take apart pretty much nearly anything he gets his hands on. He's apparently broken stuff even Rath couldn't break. So he's more just situational than anything.
Yeah, but the design is basically: "Little devil thing". It's just so god damn bland and basic. Not to mention Upgrade does everything he can do, but even better.
@@VG-fk6nk Ngl, that's the only true thing I have against Jury Rigg, he just steals spotlight from Upgrade, why use Jury Rigg when you have such unique alien like upgrade? 😭 But if Upgrade didn't exist I think I would be more lenient on Jury Rigg cuz having mechanic/engineer alien is pretty cool and underrated concept
@@danielsurvivor1372 It used to be in the original: An alien that is clearly alien; oozing originality. You can suspend disbelief and kinda see how the life-form evolved. It having a "superpower" was an add-on benefit. After the original series it became: *insert idea for a superpower* and try to shoe-horn an "alien" around it, which is really just a human but with a couple of tweaks. The main idea and originality of the show died. Jerry Rigg is just one of the end symptoms.
Thank you, someone finally said it, they nerfed him just so they can use his ultimate form(which is why l hate the ultimates & ultimate alien show) ,they never had him use his growing power since ben reactivated waybig in alien force.
@@bashengatheblackmanta7003 Small correction: He grows once in Ultimate Alien, for a brief moment during the fight with Harangue's robot in "Video Games" if I'm remembering correctly.
My boy Chamalien gets ignored in the show, and doesn’t even get a segment for this video, but lands in F. One day, you’ll recognize his excellence. Or I’ll admit that I’m biased for chameleons, whatever comes first.
@@victorestrella9503 SAME. Add on that he's a clear reference to Randall from Monsters Inc, which is one of my favorite films, and I feel like his underuse was specifically to spite me
I like the color his eyes had. I think his powers are cool for stealth but you can just use ghost freak or big chill without even worrying about being damaged
Grey Matter has always been my favorite. And I also think there’s a solid argument for him being the best overall (not strongest because…I mean…Alien X exists) because the Omnitrix was invented by his people and we see in “Ken 10” that if Ben had thought to, he could’ve actually used Grey Matter’s intelligence to master the Omnitrix right away. This means through Grey Matter, we would’ve had the right alien choice every time, no time limits on transformations, and access to every sample in the database.
I kind of agree with Kuro on Atomix for the same reasons. I just feel like if Ben ever had to fight other powerhouses like Goku or Superman, Atomix would be the most entertaining. Way Big is too big for it to be interesting and Alien X is just a whole other can of worms. Atomix is powerful but his powers aren’t that vague and he’s small enough so that it wouldn’t look like Ben is just trying to fight a bird.
Damn, I really like Gutrot, so seeing him placed in D hurts. I mean, he has an internal lab that mixes chemicals, his voice and mannerisms is a Columbo reference, and voiced by Rob Paulson. He’s really cool!
I feel if we are counting Ultimate Forms then Echo Echo should be S tier, he freaking slaps, every time he shows up is epic like the fight with ultimate Kevin 11 and Sonic Doom, how many other aliens have named moves
Diamondhead is the "best" alien. Of the OS, i'd say XLR8 and Heatblast were the most iconic, but Diamondhead is the most iconic alien in the franchise overall. He has abilities that's more unique to the show, he's one of the most versatile aliens, his species has an interesting backstory, and he defeated Vilgax in one of the most hype returns ever.
@Lloyd fundi yea waybig is cool to, but personally I really enjoyed seeing one of the original 10 actually defeat vilgax its really cool cause of how much the 10 used to struggle with him
@Lloyd fundi Diamondhead is the only one to give Vilgax a physical beatdown. Waybig always throws Vilgax into outer space. He's cool and all but i prefer what Diamondhead did.
Ngl I thought fourarms would be up there too with the amount of fights he's been it aswell as going toe to toe with diamondhead and winning (although that was an inexperienced Kevin)
@Lloyd fundi scenario: Bad Guy: *runs into a office building full of people* Option 1: Ben: *goes WayBig* *crushes building killing everyone* Option 2: Ben: *goes DiamondHead* *traps Bad Guy in crystal box* See what I'm saying?
So feedback literally would’ve been the best alien if they actually introduced him in classic and had what happened happened, there would’ve been realll hype having him return
Man imagining a universe where Feedback literally dies for 3 series and then makes this fuckin monumental comeback in Omniverse wouldve been legitemately one of the greatest things in television
@@dankwave5428 that would’ve been dumb I wouldn’t want to wait that long Omniverse already did a good job by adding enough of him in the past then bringing him back in a finale
The only ones that I'd heavily want to defend is Amphibian & Echo-Echo. I believe its only used once, but Amphibian can see the electricity in peoples brain effectively making him a mind reader (at least in terms of species with electricity in their brain). Echo-Echo's Ultimate form was strong enough that (BY ITSELF) it was able to defeat an Ultimate Kevin that had absorbed multiple people's powers including Gwen's Mana & ALL of Ultimate Aggregor. But otherwise yeah, Ball Weevil should have been a B.
22:15 I have a personal theory on Bloxx, basically the idea is that his species is made by the Galvans, much like the Mechamorphs, but they're a sort of prototype made by Galvan children. This would explain his building block aesthetic as well as his general shapeshifting powers and the fact he's...well...building blocks as an alien.
I had a similar idea, since galvans created the mechamorphs, why couldn't bloxx be artificially made too? Though it wouldn't necessarily have to be by the galvans too.
My idea was that it's kinda like the Mecha morphs in a way wear they constantly look for a new material to feed to their core wear they had a rock Material into their core but wear there core absorbs it and turns the planet bad the alien into that material but when they found the plastic Lego and replaced the rocks they kept the plastic Legos because the plastic material allowed for them to be able to shapeshift stretch and Regen quite fast which is why they are made of plastic legos
My two favorite aliens in the franchise are in fact Alien X and Way Big. 1. Because I’m 12. But 2. Like you said, they’re really the two aliens where, every time they come out, it’s an event. On the flip side though, over time, they really did just become the litmus test for whether or not Ben was taking the fight seriously.
Chromastone being A tier is enough for me. But as someone who holds Omniverse pretty near and dear, Bloxx is B tier for me, just for how fun he was for me as a kid and in the game.
Usefulness in-universe wise Bloxx is almost S tier. Ppl will dislike his design understandably, but the show and even the Xtinction movie proved how versatile he is.
@@langletprolet8378 that’s what I’m saying! Not a “natural” species by any means, but still really cool in his functioning! I respect the rankings though, aliens like Bloxx make sense for either being really high or really low, no middle ground.
Honestly, if the OV writers just stated that Bloxx species aren't literally lego type aliens, just some kind of a rock type alien, then maybe OV would be less hated.
@@ardzzz1010 yeah that'd make the most sense. Man this all sorta gets me thinking that if they did make Bloxx more plausible we could have maybe gotten a whole theme of weird Toy styled aliens and they were created by some rogue celestialsapien, or some other highly powerful being, just to be their literal toys. I know it's not the most original concept but just imagining an Anur styled system that kinda either looks like a kids bedroom or some toy factory
the andromeda aliens seem to be based on the four elements plus the hidden fifth one Armadrillo is earth terraspin is wind Nrg is fire waterhazard is water Amphibian is aether
@@N.I.A23 Nah, like I think Atomix is cool an all, but he's a massive let down from what he was hyped and teased as in the original series. Power wise yes, he's one of Ben's most powerful aliens, but the design in my opinion does not reflect that
@@matheussandbakk9959 his design is based on Mr atom (captain marvel's greatest physical threat). Just like how grandpa max is based on captain marvel himself. What not to like about him?? It's an awesome homage they even share the same "super atomic strength" ability.
@@N.I.A23 Yeah, but I think the design Kuro provided would have reflected that better, instead of what we got. It’s just doesn’t look good in my opinion, like the art style is obviously a huge part of that, but even without that as a factor I simply dislike the head and the stupid shoulder crescents. I also feels there was too much contrast between the strong white and black of his character, and the lavalamp green going on in him
I had wondered why Atomix's design changed so much in 5YL; I guess now I know. Frankly I personally love all the robotic aliens, because alien robots are a time-honored tradition, and I really like how he's constantly yelling out attack names, it's dorky in a very endearing way imo. I think he's actually one of my favorite omniverse aliens.
I really like the amfibian, armadrillo, water hazard, etc arc. Ben 10 keeps unlocking these new aliens and there is the bounty hunter that hunts them down to become a franken-fusion. Favorite arc. Terraspin is also one of my favorite aliens.
"You can't convince me there is a planet of these sapient, Lego gorillas yet here it is in the show" is how I remember it. Also, that's still one of his funniest jokes.
Bloxx is definitely not the least belieavable alien. Especially considering Echo Echo is a living soundwave in a robot suit who can, for some reason, breathe, speak and duplicate.
@@brgamerian8634 The thing about Bloxx is that he looks like Legos. You know, that common thing to that people claim hurt to step on. They should've made his colour scheme not so similar to the real things(maybe some purples, lime greens, aqua blues or greys) and he would've been more passable. And for the record, whatever aliens out there might not believe a species like us exists because of how stupid we are🥴
@@talphazero1036 what does Bloxx looking like legos have to do with him not being belieavable? Omnipotent beings who look like galaxies Aliens who look like magma rocks who are constantly on fire yet can touch things without burning them Literal batteries The entire Anur System Bloxx is very passable when compared to the rest of the universe
@@brgamerian8634 the unrealistic part is that it looks like Legos, a human made object. an entire species which look like something humans made is very unrealistic in the sense of the show
Feedback I feel even though he was designed to be an S tier alien he still is. He's not absolutely overpowered like Alien X. He has a great power set and he was Ben's favorite alien. His design is sick and he has a 2 season Arc. Plus he literally held the entire big bang in his hands. I think he deserves an S tier.
Sad to see a lot of my favorite aliens ranked so low. I came to this realization before, but further into the franchise a lot of the aliens introduced were kind of one-trick ponies; a lot of them have just a singular power with one or two applications, or they're just not fleshed out. Whereas in like, OS or UAF, when there were less aliens to choose from, every alien was treated like they were special, and all got to really show off a lot of versatility (just think of how many different things Heatblast can do vs. say, Crashhopper). I feel like even the gimmicky aliens (most of which I love btw I love the Outbreak aliens) weren't given time to shine past being used for gags or one use, they'd feel a lot more impressive and be a lot less popular to hate on.
"A lot of them have just a singular power with one or two applications, or they're just not fleshed out." That's to be expectd when theres over 50 of em
That's a good point. Lots of aliens should not really exist. It makes Ben a little too OP and a little stupid too. Why would you ever lose if you have all these aliens?
@@edwardsutherland8240 big chill should be a tier also while swamp fire is better heatblast is still great a crappier version of swamp fire is still swamp fire though I guess this is the other way around
It's super-interesting that you two made this tierlist based on the aliens' iconic-ness in the show. Honestly, I'd love an alternate version where you rank them based on how fun you think they'd be to actually become if you had the Omnitrix!
If I had the Omnitrix I'd definitely try to make creepy legends, like using ghostfreak to haunt people or using blitzwolfer to make subtle appearances in photos.
i'd use Upgrade most of the time because i just love how he looks, the rest of the time using Diamondhead to build stuff and trying to convince Bellicus and Serena to let me erase the concept of gender out of existance
I’ve been reading 5YL for the first time and I really love it! If I ever get the pleasure to meet The Inktank IRL, definitely showing up in my Necrofryggian cosplay
After Omniverse, I kind of thought Stinkfly was weak but after your breakdowns of the original series, I think he is stronger than I gave him credit for.
He was one of the most useful and used in the classic series but I think the reason he fell off in usage is probably because other flyers had more abilities. Big chill especially
@@bastialonso8354 Doesn't Ghostfreak's exoskeleton thingy limit his power? I mean, Zskyr definitely looks stronger outside of it, and Ben always has to have on the exoskeleton, hence making it a weakness(but not in the way I described first).
@@talphazero1036 Yeah without the second skin Ghostfreak is stronger and has more powers like telekinesis and shooting laser beams from his chest. But that also makes him weak to sunlight. I think is smarter to keep the second skin.
Just realized something that also puts chameleon at F is the fact that he can't even escape people who track him! Like that dream episode where Gwen uses her magic to trace the mana energy of his footprints.
Aw man, Im kinda sad about N.R.G. He's always been one of my faves. The idea of this terrifyingly huge, destructive power barely being contained by a layer of steel is so fucking cool, imo
I kinda feel like Ditto does that more. Aside from duplicating and being voiced by Rob Paulsen, what's that special about him? He has average strength and speed and, yeah, he can duplicate but Echo Echo makes him redundant by having sound powers, and his clones can be killed with no repercussions unlike Ditto.
It's understandable why Feedback didn't make S-Tier, but it still hurts. He's so cool, that I wouldn't mind it if he was the only alien Ben could turn into, but then he'd just be Static.
I mean, only he could really defeat Malware, and he could over all destroy anything that has any form of electricity, and fighting him in a normal house is more dangerous than fighting him on heat blasts planet
@@LucyWest370 it was kind of disappointing to see diamondhead get defeated by malgax so quickly when he'd defeated both malware and vilgax separately before
Im so sad goop got that low, he is one of my all time favorites. And it always pissed me off how little Ben used him, despite the fact that almost everytime he did, he kicked ass easily
As Ben states in the show Jerry Rig is smart and mischievous. He posses enhanced intelligence his species is probably 3rd smartest after of course the Galvin who are first and the Cerebrocrustations who are second. I love Jerry Rig he's like in my top five favorite aliens
Might aswell get my opinion out as i see some other people here have also shared theirs Heatblast - High-Mid A. Iconic and practically the Poster Alien of Ben 10. Wildmutt - Mid-Low C. He didn't deserve an Ultimate form he's still pretty ok though. Diamondhead - Low S - High A. Just plainly awesome. XLR8 - High A-Mid A. The OG Speedster and also just plainy cool. Grey Matter - Low C - High D. small nerd. Fourarms - Low A - High B. Iconic and practically the second Poster Alien of Ben 10 Ripjaws - High B-Mid B. I just hate the fact they hardly had any underwater battles. Upgrade - High A. I love Upgrade and his OG color scheme is something i loved and still do. Ghostfreak - Mid S. My old favorite the first actual episode of Ben 10 i actually watched aside from the Pilot had Ghostfreak in it and i've loved him ever since Stinkfly - Low A - Low B. Never thought highly of him is all Cannonbolt - Low A - High B. God i loved you but your Ultimate really ruined it for me. Wildvine - Mid B. He's ok i definitely like his OG Voice more then his new ones. Upchuck - Low A. Again pretty ok is all but i just like his powers. Blitzwolfer - Mid C. Just eh. Snare-Oh - Mid S. I fuckin love Snare-Oh and i hate how he just wasn't used. Frankenstrike - Low D. Never really like Frankenstein type monsters as i find them as glorified zombies. Ditto - Low C. He's charming but that's it also Yakko. WayBig - High B. Cool Ultraman reference. Buzzshock - Mid F. Never liked him. Spitter - Mid D. I like his design but that's it. Articguana - Low C. He's pretty mild is all nothin really that special. Eye Guy - Mid C. He's ok i like his puns. Swampfire - Low S - High A. The Green Heatblast practically but he is certainly more powerful. Echo Echo - Low A - High B. I like Echo Echo but i don't like the oversized eyeballs in Omniverse cool Ultimate though. Humungousaur - Low C. i just don't like Humungousaur Ben used him too much despite not being the answer to everything and his concept overall is boring it's just "Big Dino Hit very Hard." Jetray - High A. Very cool. Just that. Big Chill - High A. Icy Ghostfreak practically but more powerful altough would've been S if it weren't for the redesign in Omniverse Goop - Top S. My all time favorite i don't know what is it about him but something about him is just so charming Chromastone - Low A - High B. I love his poses and is pretty powerful Brainstorm - Mid S. I like his accents and i keep thinking about how cursed it would be if Ultimate Ben used him Spidermonkey - Low C. I dunno i just don't like him Alien X - High A. Cool and Iconic but talking about him will spark a war Lodestar - Low S. He's just charming and i like his powers. Rath - High S. Personality. Nanomech - Mid D. eh. Fasttrack - Mid D. Again just eh. Overkill/ChamAlien - Mid F. He's just i dunno. Clockwork - Low S. Overpowered Big Ben. Eatle - High C. Cool design but just that. Water Hazard - High S. Bias. Terraspin - High S. Towards "Escape from Aggregor" and. AmpFibian - High S. Was one of the first episodes i watched in UA? I think. Armodrillo - High S. ANDREAS STRONG. NRG - High S. Russian accent but is based off a disaster in Belarus or Ukraine i forgot Bloxx - Mid B. he's honestly pretty ok and not as worse as Xerge Gravattack - High A. he's awesome but hardly seen Shocksquatch - Low B. i dunno he's just ok Crashhopper - Low C. he's just eh Ball Weevil - Mid B. pretty cute but ok powers Pesky Dust - High B. Just charming for me. Feedback - Low A. he's pretty cool The Worst - Mid F. I...just.....i don't know Walkatrout - Low F. Rotten Fish Whampire - Mid D. Just underused and in turn is quite boring Gutrot - Mid B. I like his Brooklyn accent Atomix - High C. Really just needs more of a personality Kickin' Hawk - Low C. hehe "Chicken Hawk" Molestache - Low D. eh Toepick - Mid S. I don't know why i found him so endearing or maybe it's cause of a toy i used to have of him Astrodactyl - Mid C - Just ok
@@oski4022 i mean it in a sense of overall viability, sure Heatblast can beat Swampfire in a battle, but overall Swampfire can be more useful than Heatblast. Sure Heatblast can fly, but Swampfire can regenerate and also cause explosions, oh also his methane gas. And he isn't weak to water or has a natural predator. (atleast not for now.)
@@korallebrutalis6713 The crabdozer could probably also counter swampfire pretty well. We already know that his fire would be useless, and the crabdozer is also extremely powerful and wouldn't have any trouble ripping through his tendrils and mutated plants.
I'd love to see a follow-up version maybe even with more than 2 ink tank members where you all make your own tier lists (maybe recorded separately so we can get a nice montage) and then compare & contrast your lists and see if you can convince each other to change any positions
Walkatrout is one of my favorite aliens from a design stand point. I say this because he shows that not all of the aliens are meant for combat, and are really there because they are a species that meet the intelligence requirements.
@@zyro7756 if I had to guess they would turn into a person with the body of Batman or Captain America, as they would turn into the peak of the species relative to their age. Also because humans are known for our mild intelligence they would probably have a decent IQ.
@@funkmaster1902 True But considering other aliens in this universe I don’t see it being that much better than a literal fish in their eyes haha. Also there’s a few instances of humans being called a “delicacy” for other alien species sooo
Big chill: intangible + underwater breathing + flight Pesky dusk: mind control Feedback: generation + manipulation + becoming, electricity Amfibian: does all of this
For me I would have put the all the Transylvanian monster aliens in "B". Especially with their redesigns as well as playing bigger roles during the "spooky" half of Omniverse. Also Ballweevil should be in SSSS tier.
“The gastro gummy bear.” I mean I love upchuck, but what a way to describe him Ash. Lol. I also think it’s safe to say that Bloxx is to Kuro what jelly filled donuts are to Lost Pause. Aside from that, great vid guys.
I love the idea of ChamAlien being a stealth-based transformation bc I like more utility, non-combat forms, but then they go and do absolutely nothing with him and it sucks
@@vishwathayumanavan8777I don't see your point. Ben has used alien forms for stealth plenty of times before Chamalien, like Grey Matter or Ghostfreak, be it for personal gain or actual heroing. It gives Ben more layers to his character, knowing when to run in guns blazing or when to fight smarter, not harder. The problem wasn't the concept itself, but that it wasn't tapped into properly.
@MrWhatdafuBOOM I just meant that utility non combat aliens aren't really Ben's thing just based off of his personality. He always prefers the heavy hitters and very rarely uses strategies from the jump. You only see him use his brain on the spot when he really needs to.
my head cannon for Bloxx is that one of his species came to earth and the one man who saw what it could do and based Legos off the creature he studied , but that's my head cannon ( helps me believe that Bloxx would be a real species)
@@OmniversalInsect or, maybe the monsters in our world are just aliens trapped in earth. (Ofc, this is in the ben 10 universe) that's my headcanon about the anur aliens.
I’m a big Alien X fan for the simple fact that he’s an OP character done right. I despise all powerful characters. They just suck. However the fact that Alien X has to have an agreement with the others makes him really cool IMO
In my head cannon, in universes where they aren't limited like that one of celestial sapiens simply destroys the matter of the universes. Cuz, you know, one would be enough, don't you think?
I like the concept of the Celestial sapiens. I just personally don't think Ben should have one. Is that weird? I enjoy the design, lore, and powers. But I hate that Ben has one. Ya know?
@@trickystar4602 I disagree as Ben having one means that our hero has the potential to realistically save the universe like he ended up doing since without it they would have to come up with some non super powerful alien way to solve that level of problems PS: When a series goes for as long as Ben 10 does the stakes have to be raised each time otherwise it'd be: "Meh Ben's dealt with worse as a kid" and that would remove the thrill and fun of it plus as Kuro said it shows Ben chooses to not act as a God even when he can
@@izukumidoriya8600 I honestly like the non super powered alien way of solving things. Ben outsmarting Vilgax and having him become Goop than stealing the Gravity projector was one of my favorite moments in the series as it shows Ben can solve these kinds of problems creatively. While I do agree that Alien X does make it realistically possible to save the universe , I think some of the threats were made just because Alien X exists. Like the annihilargh for example. If Ben didn't have alien X I don't think the writers would make those kinds of threats. Besides the constant "why doesn't Ben just use Alien X" you see in every other internet post when something happens. Thou I do agree that Ben choosing not to use Alien X is nice. Again, I like Celestial sapiens lore and powers. Just don't think Ben should have one.
@@trickystar4602 I see your point but i think you missed part of mine since i never said that all future conflict would be solved by "big strong alien" since i also loved how Ben did that (but partly hate it since the Omnitrix shouldn't be that easy to just steal) but think about how much a Cosmic being brings for future fans since some people like fights like that (DBZ is an example of battles between beings that can destroy a planet by flinching) but there is also the villains that allow for other aliens to be useful. PS: I liked the Recreation of the universe since Ben decided to keep it as close to the OG as possible instead of making stuff better for him
Diamond head will ALWAYS be my no. 1. The amount of creativity that can be applied to simple crystal manipulation and generation is staggering while having solid limitations. Way Big is a close number 2, blatantly overpowered but quite situational. My favorite ultimate is Ultimate Humongousaur (Well Ultimate Way Big is an excellent concept.) Alien X will always be one of my least favorites as holy fuck that alien breaks the stakes like college breaks my will to live. Like reality is now, in the words of Vilgax, in the hands of a mere child, without any real restrictions to the reality bending upside while Ben is literally fucking indestructible.
When CN asked the fans what they thought Alien X would look like I said like Space with little quills on his forehead and I cried when i saw I was spot on😭😭
I like agree with half the list and not with the other half lol. But that’s fine. I would put Astrodactyl at C at least. Rip jaws would be A given I love his OG design and voice and they did him dirty by not using him a lot. Brainstorm is more a meme alien so I’ll give him C for the accent and the cool ass fight he had against the Vengers. Fast track would be F cause it’s Xlr8 clone, but not much for him to stand out. Eatle would be either B or C cause I do like his design and I think they should have given him more powers to make him different from Upchuck. Ditto would be C or D cause while I like the personality, his cloning ability works slow and the one feels it so all feel it. Echo Echo could be reworked to keep the fun personality aspect from Ditto.
In that case, the fact that Echo Echo is just a copy of Ditto and Benwolf would be even more apparent. You can copy the powers of an alien, but his personality too? It would be like creating a strong alien based on an animal with an explosive and angry personality. That's why I dislike Echo Echo, I prefer Ditto a thousand times, even Slapback manages to be more original.
The number of Ben's aliens has changed over time. Some forms were official and were later removed and replaced and some are not even counted. Ben technically has one hundred transformations. That's if you count Ben's ten unused concept forms and the Ultimates.
My favorite aliens were always Heat Blast and Upgrade, those 2 have a lot of untapped potential. No need for this overpowered bullsh*t, just some good old Ben ingenuity. Edit: Yo, I did not know Kuro could do such a good impression of Swamp Fire and Humoungasaur, honestly might be an overstatement but for a second I thought I caught all my Ben 10 memories flash before my eyes.
I love Ball Weevil just because he’s one of Ben’s only aliens that doesn’t have some manner of humanoid form. You’d think the universe would have a few more sentient bugs or fish or something.
If this were my personal list Wildvine and Goop would be in B tier at least. I just love both of their designs and their power sets, wish we could have gotten more of both of them.
I’m not really a fan of Nanomech either, but personally I think he deserves a higher rank. Maybe D or C tier instead of F. My reason being, and I could be wrong or the backstory might have changed, is that Nanomech is the first example of the Omnitrix literally CREATING a species. Just like how Kuro liked how Upchuck is a great example of Omnitrix adaptability, Nanomech is a creat example of Omnitrix creation.
Next year.... same thing, but with Danny Phantom Ghosts. It fits better with Halloween and we could maybe use a bit more DP stuff on the channel considering DP is the other major franchise with a major role in the comic.
Nah Brainstorm is like strategist general Grey matter is like a research professor and field tester JerryRig is like your technician who likes to explore on a whim and improvise
I just want to say that you guys are now one of my favorite RUclipsrs. Not just because it's on Ben 10 but because of your guys' banter. The humor, the dialogue and the Ash's Drawing Matrix. Also, I just love at 9:53, with the sequence of Rob tries to keep the mask on but takes it off dramatically, being called a demon by Ash, and the next cut, we see Rob with his hood over his eyes. It's just little moments like that I can't help but chuckle and even laugh at.
Here are my favorite aliens, if anyone is curious. And they're in random order. Blitzwolfer, Atomix, Feedback, Ghostfreak (Omniverse), Shocksquatch, Bullfrag, Snare-oh, Astrodactyl, Ditto (Omniverse), Frankenstrike, Ball Weevil, Whampire, Kickin' hawk, Gutrot, Gravattack, Crashhopper, and Bloxx.
PLEASE READ: This version of the video is not what I intended to upload. This was a test-render with multiple editing errors, which I’m sure you’ll see very clearly in the video. (i.e. Frankenstrike’s segment has extra footage that should’ve been cut, Clockwork’s segment was deleted, etc.) However, I have tried to re-render the video with the errors corrected four times, and the files keep getting corrupted. My computer is officially on it’s last few days, so I hope you’re at least still able to enjoy this version of the video.
I love your videos
No problem kuro i can understand when you guys have problems you need a breaaak how you get the isssues fixed
Firstly; no problems. Secondly; computer problem buddies. Thirdly; My favorite aliens were always Heat Blast and Upgrade, those 2 have a lot of untapped potential.
@XxneveragainxX
Of course they’re #1, it’s a Celestial Sapient
Understandable but I was just wondering where did you two put Clockwerk on the tier list?
Upchuck deserves an A for this line alone, “top of the food chain baby, upchuck doesn’t have any natural predators”
Also how he was used in the crossover instead of a popular alien that’s strong.
I feel like his usage in The Negative 10 part 2 was good, as well. “That hit the spot! But not as much as this!”
“ I don’t even need one of my heavy hitters just my big eater “
Fr if Ben is in a desert and needed something to eat turn to upchuck and half of the sand there is gone
If we reminded Kuro of the crossover with generator Rex using upchuck to save the day would definitely have earned him A.
Kuro: "I'm not going to bed at night thinking how much I hate bloxx"
Ash: Going to bed thinking how much he F*cking hates atomix

@@kellerfarrell7313 Nah, fuck 'em both
@@TheInkTank fair enough
Ouch
My issue with some of the aliens is that they're only needed for very specific situations like Ripjaws so its hard to use him in episodes without water.
Except Heatjaws but they only showed legimately how useless Ripjaws is without water
Plus a lot of the appeal was not knowing which aliens he would use, but if it’s a water episode ripjaws was pretty much always a contender
@@awsomedude23456 I feel like Ben loved using Ripjaws as much as the fans liked seeing him because literally anytime anything water related happens he immediately tries to turn into Ripjaws even if it doesnt make sense to
It's just a matter of direction, if they wanted to use ripjawns, they would had used and created episodes or situations to use him.
Yeah Ripjaws should have been D tier at most. He's pretty useless in most situations.
"Why do you love Goop so much? He doesn't do anything!"
Kuro: "I just think he's neat"
Goop is so versatile for stealth and combat what is he talking about
Neat is the opposite of goop lol
goop is his first couple of appearances was so satisfying to watch animated
@@azrael_pendragon shut
I mean, he was the alien Ben used to defeat the Techadon War robot when it first showed up, he can fit under incredibly small spaces, he can control his acidity he's hard to defeat due to his squishy one-celled nature and his regeneration is incredibly strong.
Kuro your swampfire impression was actual perfection cant lie
Thank you! He's the only one I genuinely feel good at.
Humongosaur one was on point too.
Swampfire is the best alien
@@TheInkTank I hope you voice swampfire in the 5yl motion comic
@@TheInkTank your humungosaur impression is also perfect.
My favorite alien is the original Big Chill. The way his wings turned into like a cloak was so cool. Plus the intagibility felt really over powered 99% of the time. Second favorite spinturtle, cause i like the hover turtle.
OV Big Chill imo, was just a buff Big Chill. Love both designs though.
Spinturtle?
You mean Terraspin? Lmao
I can really tell how much you love that alien...
@@HerohammerStudios Haven't watched the show in over 5 years. Just going through a nostalgia trip of my childhood.
Cant get over that overly buff Big Chill...i guess maybe because that a male Big Chill DNA as opposed to his original Big Chill DNA is female hence having those Small Chills
And to better incorporate the DNA restructure transformation and not have any bug or glitch issues where the DNA will overwrite the Omnitrix user to do their own thing
Its the whole premise in OG and AF that the Omnitrix was always a prototype and was simply an incomplete product
Altho the recalibration did help alot since its internal AI basically taking past experience etc and Ben thoughts, current DNA etc and "perfected" for usage
Man, now I just feel bad for AmpFibian. If only the writers didn’t forget he could read minds.
I agree with the writers cause i legit forgot he could do that too
They removed what made him unique compared to Ben's other electricity based aliens
Fr he is in my top 10 favourite aliens! He is so cool
The andromeda aliens really took it harsh here pfft!
AmpFibian can read minds?
I was hoping Big Chill would be in S Tier, but knowing that the only reason he’s not is because of his OV design makes it understandable
Yes
He’s called “Big” Chill for a reason maybe that’s why he is so large in Omniverse?
I get they wanted to do something for OV, but they kinda did Chromastone and Big Chill dirty.
Swampfire however made out like a champ in OV even if he lost most of his fights
Same
@@Genesis-XE he was called big chill in AF despite being skinny. They had no reason to change it and him being bulky like that ruins the ghostly powers he has
10:29 The absolute dismay in Ash’s voice when he says, “You were gonna put him in _C?!”_ 🥺 I’m honestly with him, Upchuck’s kinda found a place in my heart over the years.
Honestly after drawing Upchuck myself, I see the appeal
The fact that wildmutt is legitimately not that useful pains me because I love his design so much, same with Stinkfly and Ripjaws. Also weirdly loving the impressions for each alien
I mean he can be used to track some one down. Or lets say you are fight in the dark and you dont want to go with an alien that can light up the place so the enemy can see you. Other then that yeh he isnt all that usefull
@@perapapic3683 Yeah his powers can be useful, but sadly they're very situational
@@perapapic3683 then again if Ben was fighting in the dark i would think a huge green flash would alert anyone in a dark room plus Wildmutt is quite loud and tracking someone down you can technically just turn into Clockwork
To this day I wish he cpuld shoot spikes from his fur to add more to his offensive power, rather than basically be a dog/lion/tiger
I don't know, it's not like he's only a dog, he's able to swing around trees like a monkey, he's pretty strong, pretty agile, he has sharp claws and teeth, he could be pretty useful outside of tracking things, though he's most useful as probably the best tracker Ben has.
Big Chill is my absolute favorite alien. The powerset, the UAF design, and the voice are all great but two things set it above the rest for me. His children give huge potential for stories to be told and I love that. The biggest thing is that he is partially inspired by Mothman, a legendary creature from my home state of West Virginia. That just puts him to the top for me.
Of the Alien Force starting 10, Big Chill was the only one I respected at first.
Same he's my favorite alien in the alien force, the episode when he was with he's children was beautiful, everytime ben choses him I get goosebumps , I think he's underrated he's the coolest alien + alien x
100% SAME
His ultimate pretty dumb, though.
@@edwarda.7864 I love how Big Chill's default AF design is his best design. Like, Ultimate Big Chill looks off and Omniverse Big Chill looks absolutely wrong.
I honestly really like Ball Weevil just because of how different he is compared to most of the other aliens in the roster. Being an insectoid alien with a small size makes him feel unique compared to most other tall and powerful humanoid aliens.
I agree
yes
there are way too much humanoid aliens in ben's arsenal
Also its beetle on ball. Its so cute!
It hurts me to see Walkatrout and Molestach above Wildvine and Brainstorm.
Right? Brainstorm is literally grey matter but with adept fighting capabilities. Makes me wonder why ben didnt use him that much.
Wildvine introduced me to flytraps because we dont have such plants in my country. But his concept was overpowered when they released swampfire. He could do everything he can do, even better.
@@corndog7813 There will be species that are bound to be stronger than one that exists but they must be in a harsh enviroment.
@@araccoonbutpurple6084 they are basing the ranks in regards to their relevance and their "iconicness". Not necesssarily meaning that one is much stronger/useful than the other. So i get it. Aliens that hasn't got much screentime are at the lower scale.
The episode of Omniverse where Brainstorm calculated The Vengers' defeat in the fight and had an entire plan for their downfall post-detransformation cemented him as one of my favorites. I'm also biased to the color red and lightning powers.

“the worst”
@@cartoonishidealism582 just wait till Ben gets a brown version and names it shit.
The best aliens design-wise are usually the ones that aren’t just anthropomorphic or slightly modified versions of earth animals. The original 10 executed that idea pretty well imo.

@@TheInkTank maybe because Kuro DOES hate Bloxx. We are on to you, Kuro. You can't hide it from us any longer
12:12 Kuros Swampfire impression was uncanny, literally perfect
He can voice swamps
My interpretation of Toepick was always that he had some psychic power to incite fear, not just disturbing ugliness.
Exactly he always felt like he caused an immense fight or flight response out of the people who saw his face instead of repulsion.
The info we got about him always read to me as he's not ugly, his face is just unknowable, like some kind of eldritch horror.
Yeah I saw it as his face would turn in to the thing the person was most afraid of
I wished that when someone looked at him, they saw their worst nightmare, which is why they turn pale.
according to the derrick his face taps into the primordial fears locked in all beings' subconscious(as well as just plain nasty) and how his eyes have a trait that makes his already bad eyesight even worse when looking at multidimensional or unknowable sights
his face seems to lean into the unknowable because paradox can overcome his fear and can see the face clearly
I feel like Diamondhead is the best alien. Not only because of his amazing skills and abilities, but because he is one of the most important aliens in the franchise. All the stories with Tetrax and Petropia, love it. And also Diamondhead is the only alien, other than Way Big, to actually defeat Vilgax. So yeah, he is a big deal
For me gravattack i feel like he was underrated
XLR8 is my fave but Diamondhead is a great choice
Eh, they could have gone with almost any of the original 10 for that, but Diamondhead is cool regardless.
Honestly Upgrade will always be my #1. Like upgrading tech to make it better and cooler. Plus he could shoot a energy beam (till omniverse lol)
say what you want about Diamondhead, but I think we can all agree that his design in UAF is by far the worst
Another first fact about Cannonbolt is that he was the first alien to have his species name clarified. You’d think Vilgax would’ve mentioned at least one in the season finale, but nope.
Wasn't wildmutt species apeared in the 1st episode of season 2?
@@betia4915 Yeah, Vulpamancers were the first name drop when Max teamed up with his old Plumber Partner. Cannonbolt's species was then named in the next episode; The Big Tick
The Ink Tank: Rath is A tier
Rath: let me tell you somethin youtubers ranking me in a video Rath is SSS tier at least
😂
You’re opinions on the andromeda 5 aliens is so opposite to mine, it’s honestly fascinating!
Same. They’re kind of basic but all of their powers ticks the remaining missing boxes of Ben’s arsenal, other than electric powers. They have pretty decent designs as well, Water Hazard being my favorite. But NRG is probably one of the more unique one out of the 5.
Yeah! The andromeda aliens were probably the best thing to come out of UA
Theyre my fave bunch :( Terraspin's fan concept is so cool for me as a kid. Especially when he fly like a fidget spinner and like on of those mario turtles.
I really like the unique versatility of their powers:
Waterhazard - his exoskeleton is pretty durable
Terraspin - he can't be harm by mana
NRG - dude can literally become a nuclear bomb
Armodrillo - the drill arms
Ampfibian - can read minds
@@ardzzz1010 I like them too,, but the problem is those powers rarely have an effect in the show, poor ampfibian has it the worst with his mind reading being straight up forgotten.
99% of the time there powers are being a water gun, being a big fan, digging humongousour, and being yet another electric alien. I genuinely can't come up with one for NRG, because he is genuinely is unique... although his out of suit design is a major let down and is ugly as sin in UAF.
Something I want to just point out about Jury Rigg is that he's strong enough to take apart pretty much nearly anything he gets his hands on. He's apparently broken stuff even Rath couldn't break. So he's more just situational than anything.
Yeah, but the design is basically: "Little devil thing". It's just so god damn bland and basic. Not to mention Upgrade does everything he can do, but even better.
@@VG-fk6nk Ngl, that's the only true thing I have against Jury Rigg, he just steals spotlight from Upgrade, why use Jury Rigg when you have such unique alien like upgrade? 😭
But if Upgrade didn't exist I think I would be more lenient on Jury Rigg cuz having mechanic/engineer alien is pretty cool and underrated concept
@@danielsurvivor1372 It used to be in the original:
An alien that is clearly alien; oozing originality. You can suspend disbelief and kinda see how the life-form evolved. It having a "superpower" was an add-on benefit.
After the original series it became: *insert idea for a superpower* and try to shoe-horn an "alien" around it, which is really just a human but with a couple of tweaks.
The main idea and originality of the show died. Jerry Rigg is just one of the end symptoms.
As a quick thing, UA nerfed Humongousaur before OV did. He only used his size changing once very early on.
Thank you, someone finally said it, they nerfed him just so they can use his ultimate form(which is why l hate the ultimates & ultimate alien show) ,they never had him use his growing power since ben reactivated waybig in alien force.

@@victorestrella9503 his three eyes looked so neat!
@@victorestrella9503 SAME. Add on that he's a clear reference to Randall from Monsters Inc, which is one of my favorite films, and I feel like his underuse was specifically to spite me

The thing that has me...is that thicc lizard chick that's married to ExoSkull
Grey Matter has always been my favorite. And I also think there’s a solid argument for him being the best overall (not strongest because…I mean…Alien X exists) because the Omnitrix was invented by his people and we see in “Ken 10” that if Ben had thought to, he could’ve actually used Grey Matter’s intelligence to master the Omnitrix right away. This means through Grey Matter, we would’ve had the right alien choice every time, no time limits on transformations, and access to every sample in the database.
But they only used him as a meme. It was disappointing to only see the smartest alien Ben had as a joke
@@commanderwill2Isn’t brainstorm the smartest though?
I kind of agree with Kuro on Atomix for the same reasons. I just feel like if Ben ever had to fight other powerhouses like Goku or Superman, Atomix would be the most entertaining. Way Big is too big for it to be interesting and Alien X is just a whole other can of worms. Atomix is powerful but his powers aren’t that vague and he’s small enough so that it wouldn’t look like Ben is just trying to fight a bird.
Way big would be even better since it would be God of War style
And don't forget if Ben wanted to, he could literally scan either of their DNA and have a ben super saiyan vs goku fight and that'd be awesome
Naah, a giant stomping superman to the ground would be awesome
Let’s not forget that Goop is the only reason Ben got the omnitrix back from vilgax on primus.
Damn, I really like Gutrot, so seeing him placed in D hurts.
I mean, he has an internal lab that mixes chemicals, his voice and mannerisms is a Columbo reference, and voiced by Rob Paulson. He’s really cool!

Diamondhead is the "best" alien. Of the OS, i'd say XLR8 and Heatblast were the most iconic, but Diamondhead is the most iconic alien in the franchise overall. He has abilities that's more unique to the show, he's one of the most versatile aliens, his species has an interesting backstory, and he defeated Vilgax in one of the most hype returns ever.
Diamond head defeating vilgax honestly won my love for him
@Lloyd fundi yea waybig is cool to, but personally I really enjoyed seeing one of the original 10 actually defeat vilgax its really cool cause of how much the 10 used to struggle with him
@Lloyd fundi Diamondhead is the only one to give Vilgax a physical beatdown. Waybig always throws Vilgax into outer space. He's cool and all but i prefer what Diamondhead did.
Ngl I thought fourarms would be up there too with the amount of fights he's been it aswell as going toe to toe with diamondhead and winning (although that was an inexperienced Kevin)

Option 1:
Ben: *goes WayBig* *crushes building killing everyone*
Option 2:

Upgrade is my personal favourite. He should have been used WAY more. His power can be so diverse.

The only ones that I'd heavily want to defend is Amphibian & Echo-Echo.
I believe its only used once, but Amphibian can see the electricity in peoples brain effectively making him a mind reader (at least in terms of species with electricity in their brain).
Echo-Echo's Ultimate form was strong enough that (BY ITSELF) it was able to defeat an Ultimate Kevin that had absorbed multiple people's powers including Gwen's Mana & ALL of Ultimate Aggregor.
But otherwise yeah, Ball Weevil should have been a B.
What I like about Echo Echo is that he is a very strategic alien and still keep up with stronger enemies by using clones and his sonic screams.
"B for Ballweevil!"

22:15 I have a personal theory on Bloxx, basically the idea is that his species is made by the Galvans, much like the Mechamorphs, but they're a sort of prototype made by Galvan children. This would explain his building block aesthetic as well as his general shapeshifting powers and the fact he's...well...building blocks as an alien.
I had a similar idea, since galvans created the mechamorphs, why couldn't bloxx be artificially made too? Though it wouldn't necessarily have to be by the galvans too.
I kinda like blocks because of his shape shifting powers. I'm down with that! But Kuro has a point Blocks is a unrealistic alien
My idea was that it's kinda like the Mecha morphs in a way wear they constantly look for a new material to feed to their core wear they had a rock Material into their core but wear there core absorbs it and turns the planet bad the alien into that material but when they found the plastic Lego and replaced the rocks they kept the plastic Legos because the plastic material allowed for them to be able to shapeshift stretch and Regen quite fast which is why they are made of plastic legos
My theory is that one day two executives looked at each other and said "hey, kids like Lego, right? Let's make a Lego alien"
If him was a stone golem him would be a lot cooler
Honestly? I absolutely love the nonscripted videos where you guys just mess around and have fun. I hope you consider doing more in the future
My two favorite aliens in the franchise are in fact Alien X and Way Big. 1. Because I’m 12. But 2. Like you said, they’re really the two aliens where, every time they come out, it’s an event. On the flip side though, over time, they really did just become the litmus test for whether or not Ben was taking the fight seriously.
I think you can blame Omniverse for that, as Ben used Alien X to hurt his brainwashed/ mind-controlled friends during the rooters arc.
Chromastone being A tier is enough for me. But as someone who holds Omniverse pretty near and dear, Bloxx is B tier for me, just for how fun he was for me as a kid and in the game.
Usefulness in-universe wise Bloxx is almost S tier. Ppl will dislike his design understandably, but the show and even the Xtinction movie proved how versatile he is.
@@langletprolet8378 that’s what I’m saying! Not a “natural” species by any means, but still really cool in his functioning! I respect the rankings though, aliens like Bloxx make sense for either being really high or really low, no middle ground.

@@ardzzz1010 yeah that'd make the most sense.

Water Hazard is at least a B purely because he kicked Captain Nemesis' ass.
I also just like his species backstory, he just seems like a good twist on a water alien that doesn’t just do what one of the OG 10 do.
He also just has an awesome design
What people often forget about him is that he's frickin durable too. His exoskeleton makes him a decent close range fighter.

The only problem is...it's Juryrigg. It's literally not built to last, unless it's the Time-cycles.
@@matthewwilliams8267 Time Cycles was Uprig though. He got that Mechamorph boost to him, so it shouldn't be attributed to normal Jurryrig.
@@satriosukarji1777 oh, yeah, forgot.
@@matthewwilliams8267Jury Rigg did make Ben's Tenn-Speed, which DID last from Season 2 until Exo-Skull destroyed it and the Proto-TRUK in Season 8.
the andromeda aliens seem to be based on the four elements plus the hidden fifth one
Armadrillo is earth
terraspin is wind
Nrg is fire
waterhazard is water
Amphibian is aether
Amphibian is pretty much electricity
Hidden 5th? I guess it depends on what culture you're pulling from but sometimes there are 5 base elements
Whats aether?
@@raerdevBasically Light
The fact that Wrath was not S tier is the greatest sin this channel has ever committed.
Agreed.
Nah, complaining about atomix design is.
@@N.I.A23 Nah, like I think Atomix is cool an all, but he's a massive let down from what he was hyped and teased as in the original series. Power wise yes, he's one of Ben's most powerful aliens, but the design in my opinion does not reflect that
@@matheussandbakk9959 his design is based on Mr atom (captain marvel's greatest physical threat). Just like how grandpa max is based on captain marvel himself. What not to like about him?? It's an awesome homage they even share the same "super atomic strength" ability.
@@N.I.A23 Yeah, but I think the design Kuro provided would have reflected that better, instead of what we got. It’s just doesn’t look good in my opinion, like the art style is obviously a huge part of that, but even without that as a factor I simply dislike the head and the stupid shoulder crescents. I also feels there was too much contrast between the strong white and black of his character, and the lavalamp green going on in him
I had wondered why Atomix's design changed so much in 5YL; I guess now I know. Frankly I personally love all the robotic aliens, because alien robots are a time-honored tradition, and I really like how he's constantly yelling out attack names, it's dorky in a very endearing way imo.
I think he's actually one of my favorite omniverse aliens.
i love how atomix looks like if the Iron Giant was nuclear powered lol
I really like the amfibian, armadrillo, water hazard, etc arc. Ben 10 keeps unlocking these new aliens and there is the bounty hunter that hunts them down to become a franken-fusion. Favorite arc. Terraspin is also one of my favorite aliens.
"You can't convince a planet with these sentinel lego gorillas yet here he's in the show"- kuro the artist 2017
"You can't convince me there is a planet of these sapient, Lego gorillas yet here it is in the show" is how I remember it.
Also, that's still one of his funniest jokes.
Bloxx is definitely not the least belieavable alien. Especially considering Echo Echo is a living soundwave in a robot suit who can, for some reason, breathe, speak and duplicate.
@@brgamerian8634 The thing about Bloxx is that he looks like Legos. You know, that common thing to that people claim hurt to step on. They should've made his colour scheme not so similar to the real things(maybe some purples, lime greens, aqua blues or greys) and he would've been more passable.
And for the record, whatever aliens out there might not believe a species like us exists because of how stupid we are🥴
@@talphazero1036 what does Bloxx looking like legos have to do with him not being belieavable?
Omnipotent beings who look like galaxies
Aliens who look like magma rocks who are constantly on fire yet can touch things without burning them
Literal batteries
The entire Anur System
Bloxx is very passable when compared to the rest of the universe
@@brgamerian8634 the unrealistic part is that it looks like Legos, a human made object. an entire species which look like something humans made is very unrealistic in the sense of the show
Feedback I feel even though he was designed to be an S tier alien he still is. He's not absolutely overpowered like Alien X. He has a great power set and he was Ben's favorite alien. His design is sick and he has a 2 season Arc. Plus he literally held the entire big bang in his hands. I think he deserves an S tier.
Sad to see a lot of my favorite aliens ranked so low.
I came to this realization before, but further into the franchise a lot of the aliens introduced were kind of one-trick ponies; a lot of them have just a singular power with one or two applications, or they're just not fleshed out. Whereas in like, OS or UAF, when there were less aliens to choose from, every alien was treated like they were special, and all got to really show off a lot of versatility (just think of how many different things Heatblast can do vs. say, Crashhopper). I feel like even the gimmicky aliens (most of which I love btw I love the Outbreak aliens) weren't given time to shine past being used for gags or one use, they'd feel a lot more impressive and be a lot less popular to hate on.
"A lot of them have just a singular power with one or two applications, or they're just not fleshed out."
That's to be expectd when theres over 50 of em
That's a good point. Lots of aliens should not really exist. It makes Ben a little too OP and a little stupid too.
Why would you ever lose if you have all these aliens?
HeatBlast deserves S tier easily the best designed Alien, and has the coolest Voice with Steve Blum.
NGL the the voice and the fact he was the first alien Ben transformed into should have given him an S
This is the same issue with my love for articguana and Bigchill, swampfire is just better.
@@edwardsutherland8240 If we look at just power he is weaker then Heatblast
@@edwardsutherland8240 big chill should be a tier also while swamp fire is better heatblast is still great a crappier version of swamp fire is still swamp fire though I guess this is the other way around
@@edwardsutherland8240
Swampfire better than Heatblast? Funny joke
It's super-interesting that you two made this tierlist based on the aliens' iconic-ness in the show. Honestly, I'd love an alternate version where you rank them based on how fun you think they'd be to actually become if you had the Omnitrix!
I want a ranking based on power and strength
If I had the Omnitrix I'd definitely try to make creepy legends, like using ghostfreak to haunt people or using blitzwolfer to make subtle appearances in photos.
i'd use Upgrade most of the time because i just love how he looks, the rest of the time using Diamondhead to build stuff and trying to convince Bellicus and Serena to let me erase the concept of gender out of existance
Oh, yes. That's a great idea.
I was ranking thwm based on design and usefulness in battle
Bloxx is called a segmentasapien, which could mean he is like a collection of sentient lego like aliens, similar to how Surge works from the reboot.
So, he could basically be like the nanobots from Big Hero 6
I’ve been reading 5YL for the first time and I really love it! If I ever get the pleasure to meet The Inktank IRL, definitely showing up in my Necrofryggian cosplay
Thank you very much! Looking forward to that cosplay someday!
Necrofryggian cosplay? Awesome!
After Omniverse, I kind of thought Stinkfly was weak but after your breakdowns of the original series, I think he is stronger than I gave him credit for.
He was one of the most useful and used in the classic series but I think the reason he fell off in usage is probably because other flyers had more abilities. Big chill especially
@@zyro7756 Big Chill was just better. Ghostfreak with ice powers and a cooler(hahaha) design, without that "sun makes me weak" crap.
@@talphazero1036 Ghostfreak didn't have that weakness as Ben though
@@bastialonso8354 Doesn't Ghostfreak's exoskeleton thingy limit his power? I mean, Zskyr definitely looks stronger outside of it, and Ben always has to have on the exoskeleton, hence making it a weakness(but not in the way I described first).
@@talphazero1036 Yeah without the second skin Ghostfreak is stronger and has more powers like telekinesis and shooting laser beams from his chest. But that also makes him weak to sunlight. I think is smarter to keep the second skin.
Just realized something that also puts chameleon at F is the fact that he can't even escape people who track him! Like that dream episode where Gwen uses her magic to trace the mana energy of his footprints.
Aw man, Im kinda sad about N.R.G.
He's always been one of my faves. The idea of this terrifyingly huge, destructive power barely being contained by a layer of steel is so fucking cool, imo
I agree with Walkatrout being a C *only* because he shows us the range of aliens in the fact that not all aliens are meant to be fighters
exactly!
I kinda feel like Ditto does that more. Aside from duplicating and being voiced by Rob Paulsen, what's that special about him? He has average strength and speed and, yeah, he can duplicate but Echo Echo makes him redundant by having sound powers, and his clones can be killed with no repercussions unlike Ditto.
The build-up to Ball Weevil killed me lol
Also I agree with Ash, Ball Weevil is dope and one of my favorite Omniverse aliens
It's understandable why Feedback didn't make S-Tier, but it still hurts. He's so cool, that I wouldn't mind it if he was the only alien Ben could turn into, but then he'd just be Static.
💀 that would be sad ngl
I mean, only he could really defeat Malware, and he could over all destroy anything that has any form of electricity, and fighting him in a normal house is more dangerous than fighting him on heat blasts planet
@@Da-choppa he is hard counter for all electric alien of Ben
@@Da-choppa *laughs in diamondhead*
@@LucyWest370 it was kind of disappointing to see diamondhead get defeated by malgax so quickly when he'd defeated both malware and vilgax separately before
Honestly, I think this is the most fun I’ve had watching any tier list video. Great stuff, guys.
Im so sad goop got that low, he is one of my all time favorites. And it always pissed me off how little Ben used him, despite the fact that almost everytime he did, he kicked ass easily
Goop está roto, por eso no lo usa mucho
As Ben states in the show Jerry Rig is smart and mischievous. He posses enhanced intelligence his species is probably 3rd smartest after of course the Galvin who are first and the Cerebrocrustations who are second. I love Jerry Rig he's like in my top five favorite aliens
Aren't Naljians the smartest? One of them said the Omnitrix is less advanced than a toy to them.
@@kainpendlebury7007 I'm assuming we're talking about aliens in the omnitrix only
Might aswell get my opinion out as i see some other people here have also shared theirs
Heatblast - High-Mid A. Iconic and practically the Poster Alien of Ben 10.

Eye Guy - Mid C. He's ok i like his puns.
Swampfire - Low S - High A. The Green Heatblast practically but he is certainly more powerful.
Echo Echo - Low A - High B. I like Echo Echo but i don't like the oversized eyeballs in Omniverse cool Ultimate though.
Humungousaur - Low C. i just don't like Humungousaur Ben used him too much despite not being the answer to everything and his concept overall is boring it's just "Big Dino Hit very Hard."
Jetray - High A. Very cool. Just that.
Big Chill - High A. Icy Ghostfreak practically but more powerful altough would've been S if it weren't for the redesign in Omniverse
Goop - Top S. My all time favorite i don't know what is it about him but something about him is just so charming

Gutrot - Mid B. I like his Brooklyn accent
Atomix - High C. Really just needs more of a personality
Kickin' Hawk - Low C. hehe "Chicken Hawk"
Molestache - Low D. eh
Toepick - Mid S. I don't know why i found him so endearing or maybe it's cause of a toy i used to have of him
Astrodactyl - Mid C - Just ok
You really like the Andromeda aliens dont you
Ultimate Way Big was just a straight up ripoff of ultraman.
I hate when the people say that SwampFire is more powerful than Heatblast. It's literally the opposite thing.
@@oski4022 i mean it in a sense of overall viability, sure Heatblast can beat Swampfire in a battle, but overall Swampfire can be more useful than Heatblast. Sure Heatblast can fly, but Swampfire can regenerate and also cause explosions, oh also his methane gas. And he isn't weak to water or has a natural predator. (atleast not for now.)
@@korallebrutalis6713 The crabdozer could probably also counter swampfire pretty well. We already know that his fire would be useless, and the crabdozer is also extremely powerful and wouldn't have any trouble ripping through his tendrils and mutated plants.
I'd love to see a follow-up version maybe even with more than 2 ink tank members where you all make your own tier lists (maybe recorded separately so we can get a nice montage) and then compare & contrast your lists and see if you can convince each other to change any positions
I feel like a lot of people forget that Ampfibian was pretty OP in his introduction and is even a psychic alien! I woulda put him at leeeeast C/D tier
I can't remember clearly but i think he also has intangiblity could someone confirm please
@@alphaife5008 Yeah, it works like Big Chills where anything they go through is elementally damaged (ice for Big Chill, electricity for Ampfibian)
@@ShibuNub3305 yeah thanks
Walkatrout is one of my favorite aliens from a design stand point. I say this because he shows that not all of the aliens are meant for combat, and are really there because they are a species that meet the intelligence requirements.
What it would be like if an alien transformed into a human
@@zyro7756 if I had to guess they would turn into a person with the body of Batman or Captain America, as they would turn into the peak of the species relative to their age. Also because humans are known for our mild intelligence they would probably have a decent IQ.
@@funkmaster1902 True
But considering other aliens in this universe I don’t see it being that much better than a literal fish in their eyes haha.
Also there’s a few instances of humans being called a “delicacy” for other alien species sooo
@@funkmaster1902 Walk a rout is not very intelligent either
Big chill: intangible + underwater breathing + flight
Pesky dusk: mind control
Feedback: generation + manipulation + becoming, electricity
Amfibian: does all of this
For me I would have put the all the Transylvanian monster aliens in "B". Especially with their redesigns as well as playing bigger roles during the "spooky" half of Omniverse. Also Ballweevil should be in SSSS tier.
Ball Weevil is too good. I love that design.
Speaking of Ghostfreak, he could have done more because I could see him and Ben have a symbiotic relationship
Ball Weevil is freaking cool
@@srstriker6420 wait was the ghostfreak that was a villain was the same ghostfreak Ben has
@@Deathmare235 yes
“The gastro gummy bear.” I mean I love upchuck, but what a way to describe him Ash. Lol. I also think it’s safe to say that Bloxx is to Kuro what jelly filled donuts are to Lost Pause. Aside from that, great vid guys.
I love the idea of ChamAlien being a stealth-based transformation bc I like more utility, non-combat forms, but then they go and do absolutely nothing with him and it sucks
ben isn't one to use stealthy aliens it just doesnt complement it too well
We already have big chill
the fact that the omnitrix transforms its user with a flash should've already thrown stealth out of the window
@@vishwathayumanavan8777I don't see your point. Ben has used alien forms for stealth plenty of times before Chamalien, like Grey Matter or Ghostfreak, be it for personal gain or actual heroing.
It gives Ben more layers to his character, knowing when to run in guns blazing or when to fight smarter, not harder. The problem wasn't the concept itself, but that it wasn't tapped into properly.
@MrWhatdafuBOOM I just meant that utility non combat aliens aren't really Ben's thing just based off of his personality. He always prefers the heavy hitters and very rarely uses strategies from the jump. You only see him use his brain on the spot when he really needs to.
my head cannon for Bloxx is that one of his species came to earth and the one man who saw what it could do and based Legos off the creature he studied , but that's my head cannon ( helps me believe that Bloxx would be a real species)
That's actually really creative and fun!
Like a galvanic mechamorph who became a LEGO nerd?
Edit (to clarify):
I kinda like that, ngl.
Kinda like the object pokemons that inspire humans to create the objects later idea. Noice.
Same way how all the anur aliens probably inspired monsters on earth
@@OmniversalInsect or, maybe the monsters in our world are just aliens trapped in earth. (Ofc, this is in the ben 10 universe) that's my headcanon about the anur aliens.
Ive always personally thought wildvine was a great alien cuz of his cool design
Yeah me too, should've been B atleast
i loved wildvine, always wished there was more of him.
I feel like if suitless NRG had been used more (which he really should've been), NRG would've ranked way higher
I’m a big Alien X fan for the simple fact that he’s an OP character done right. I despise all powerful characters. They just suck. However the fact that Alien X has to have an agreement with the others makes him really cool IMO
In my head cannon, in universes where they aren't limited like that one of celestial sapiens simply destroys the matter of the universes. Cuz, you know, one would be enough, don't you think?
I like the concept of the Celestial sapiens. I just personally don't think Ben should have one. Is that weird?
I enjoy the design, lore, and powers.
But I hate that Ben has one. Ya know?
@@trickystar4602 I disagree as Ben having one means that our hero has the potential to realistically save the universe like he ended up doing since without it they would have to come up with some non super powerful alien way to solve that level of problems
PS: When a series goes for as long as Ben 10 does the stakes have to be raised each time otherwise it'd be: "Meh Ben's dealt with worse as a kid" and that would remove the thrill and fun of it plus as Kuro said it shows Ben chooses to not act as a God even when he can
@@izukumidoriya8600 I honestly like the non super powered alien way of solving things. Ben outsmarting Vilgax and having him become Goop than stealing the Gravity projector was one of my favorite moments in the series as it shows Ben can solve these kinds of problems creatively.
While I do agree that Alien X does make it realistically possible to save the universe , I think some of the threats were made just because Alien X exists. Like the annihilargh for example.
If Ben didn't have alien X I don't think the writers would make those kinds of threats.
Besides the constant "why doesn't Ben just use Alien X" you see in every other internet post when something happens. Thou I do agree that Ben choosing not to use Alien X is nice.
Again, I like Celestial sapiens lore and powers. Just don't think Ben should have one.
@@trickystar4602 I see your point but i think you missed part of mine since i never said that all future conflict would be solved by "big strong alien" since i also loved how Ben did that (but partly hate it since the Omnitrix shouldn't be that easy to just steal) but think about how much a Cosmic being brings for future fans since some people like fights like that (DBZ is an example of battles between beings that can destroy a planet by flinching) but there is also the villains that allow for other aliens to be useful. PS: I liked the Recreation of the universe since Ben decided to keep it as close to the OG as possible instead of making stuff better for him
Diamond head will ALWAYS be my no. 1. The amount of creativity that can be applied to simple crystal manipulation and generation is staggering while having solid limitations.
Way Big is a close number 2, blatantly overpowered but quite situational.
My favorite ultimate is Ultimate Humongousaur (Well Ultimate Way Big is an excellent concept.)
Alien X will always be one of my least favorites as holy fuck that alien breaks the stakes like college breaks my will to live. Like reality is now, in the words of Vilgax, in the hands of a mere child, without any real restrictions to the reality bending upside while Ben is literally fucking indestructible.
I like Alien X but I get your point
Yeah that’s why Ben never uses alien x. He’s too powerful. To my knowledge he was only use like 3-4 times in the entire show.
When CN asked the fans what they thought Alien X would look like I said like Space with little quills on his forehead and I cried when i saw I was spot on😭😭
I like agree with half the list and not with the other half lol. But that’s fine.
I would put Astrodactyl at C at least. Rip jaws would be A given I love his OG design and voice and they did him dirty by not using him a lot. Brainstorm is more a meme alien so I’ll give him C for the accent and the cool ass fight he had against the Vengers. Fast track would be F cause it’s Xlr8 clone, but not much for him to stand out. Eatle would be either B or C cause I do like his design and I think they should have given him more powers to make him different from Upchuck. Ditto would be C or D cause while I like the personality, his cloning ability works slow and the one feels it so all feel it. Echo Echo could be reworked to keep the fun personality aspect from Ditto.
In that case, the fact that Echo Echo is just a copy of Ditto and Benwolf would be even more apparent. You can copy the powers of an alien, but his personality too? It would be like creating a strong alien based on an animal with an explosive and angry personality. That's why I dislike Echo Echo, I prefer Ditto a thousand times, even Slapback manages to be more original.
all ill say is when ben dog walks kevin with ultimate echo echo....thank you for coming to my TED talk
Death, taxes, Ink tank droppin bangers, and Ben getting the wrong alien are the four certainties of life.
Having to live with the fact that Ben 10 got rebooted and our Ben will not get back bhi ek certainty of life hi hai 😭
The number of Ben's aliens has changed over time. Some forms were official and were later removed and replaced and some are not even counted. Ben technically has one hundred transformations. That's if you count Ben's ten unused concept forms and the Ultimates.
My favorite aliens were always Heat Blast and Upgrade, those 2 have a lot of untapped potential. No need for this overpowered bullsh*t, just some good old Ben ingenuity. Edit: Yo, I did not know Kuro could do such a good impression of Swamp Fire and Humoungasaur, honestly might be an overstatement but for a second I thought I caught all my Ben 10 memories flash before my eyes.
The reasoning behind clockwork's ranking was cut out.
He got randomly added at B tier between 19:00 and 19:30.
I love Ball Weevil just because he’s one of Ben’s only aliens that doesn’t have some manner of humanoid form.
You’d think the universe would have a few more sentient bugs or fish or something.
Well there's Walkatrout but Walkatrout is... Walkatrout
If this were my personal list Wildvine and Goop would be in B tier at least. I just love both of their designs and their power sets, wish we could have gotten more of both of them.
Diamondhead is easily my favorite, one of the most versatile aliens we've seen. Kinda wish the Anur aliens (except Whampire) were higher tho
I’m not really a fan of Nanomech either, but personally I think he deserves a higher rank. Maybe D or C tier instead of F. My reason being, and I could be wrong or the backstory might have changed, is that Nanomech is the first example of the Omnitrix literally CREATING a species. Just like how Kuro liked how Upchuck is a great example of Omnitrix adaptability, Nanomech is a creat example of Omnitrix creation.
Rath S tier
Edit: Rath A tier is good enough
but I cannot forgive the sheer disrespect to my boi Astrodactyl
The Astrodactyl slander was crazy

Also, I just love at 9:53, with the sequence of Rob tries to keep the mask on but takes it off dramatically, being called a demon by Ash, and the next cut, we see Rob with his hood over his eyes. It's just little moments like that I can't help but chuckle and even laugh at.
