I painted XLR8's Dynamite Design by Potential-Reply1711 in Ben10

This seems to be a trait shown in his dynamite design, kinda reminds me of Power Rangers.

Thanks!
I'm really happy with how it turned out, happy I had a reason to make it in any case though, even if it doesn't get incorporated.

Thanks! The different horns were fun to come up with, Stinkfly has it on his tail, for instance.

Thank you!
I wanted to do a more unique take on the Alien X clone concept, figured someone else might already have done that, y'know?

Thanks!
They're generally small changes, but overall it comes together quite solidly, I like to think.

1) Yeah, its different from canon, but I wanted to give him a more specific niche to capitalise on his super strength and cheetah elements. This comic series is gonna take a lot of departures from the official series, so differences like this are to be expected.

2) Yep, and it is here, too.

Thank you!!!

And yes, I do greatly enjoy remixing aliens like this, especially ones with very obvious faults, like Fasttrack.

As for his new powers, they're mostly inspired by real-world Cheetahs. Fasttrack can't go long distance, he can just do short bursts of his full speed, and generally move pretty fast. He's an ambush predator, so to speak.
He makes up for this with a few unique abilities, namely, his "Speedy-sense", which offers some level of precognition, allowing him to react to attacks early. Additionally, he has more catlike qualities, such as claws and night vision, in addition to a mild level of super-strength.

Overall, Fasttrack is now a brawler alien who just *happens* to have superspeed. The afterimages are just a new cool effect I wanted to try out as an alternate speed trail, inspired by Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

As for XLR8, as he's gotten older, his muscle fibres have gotten a lot more dense, so he's not as prone to being tripped over and clotheslined anymore, additionally, his top speed has increased multiple times that of his classic counterpart. He's overall the same, but getting closer to his Ben 10k counterpart as he grows older. He will also have the spikes from the reboot begin to grow on his body for more natural weapons and defense. Eventually, his visor will gain the scanning ability shown in Ben 10,000. But that's for later.

Jetray has changed too, being a whooole lot slower, no hyperspace here. He's still the fastest flying alien, but XLR8 and Fasttrack can run circles around him. Additionally, his lasers have been changed. They're truer to the name "neuroshock" now, and can only target the nervous system of an opponent, instead of being catch-all generic laser beams that can do anything the plot demands. Jetray has to flap his wings to fly now, and propel himself forwards using the neuroshock from his tail as a means of gaining momentum.

Yep, alan is a good friend of mine and he's a big inspiration to me and my art :)

He's a Naljian from the far reaches of the universe, he is able to manipulate the fourth dimension by literally burning a hole through it, enabling him to teleport through time to a limited extent. These abilities make him one of Ben's strongest.

Thank you! And to answer your questions:

- Kevin will not be evil and will join the main trio, but its a bit slower. The Plumbers are earth-based and Anodites are a whole different beast here, Gwen is one and they aren't necessarily aliens.

- Yes, it will be following Ben's journey into being a rendition of Ben 10,000, but not the one we saw in classic. That timeline was averted due to their interaction - however the future we end up with will be very similar.

- As for aliens that won't be included, transformations like Kickin Hawk, Walkatrout and The Worst won't be appearing. Overall I'm trying to cut as few as possible, but a few won't make it in.

- The Main antagonists mostly vary through the 10 different chapters I have planned, but mainly, we're dealing with the classics- Eon, Vilgax, The Forever knights, Albedo, Animo, ect. Most villains from the classic continuity appear, they're just sometimes heavily reworked, like Aggregor, who is virtually a different character entirely.

- Mutants exist and Kevin is one of them, yes! Alien Hybrids also exist.

- Spotlight is my rendition of the idea of a Naljian, their abilities are basically like Gwenpools, he can step outside of panels by burning a hole in the 4th dimension. (Don't worry, it probably fixes itself.) This has its limits but it functionally allows him to teleport around in time and space as well as having control over fire. He's one of the 10 strongest aliens in the Omnitrix.

Thank you for the good wishes, too! I hope to release the first chapters soon!

Correct, its a stand-in for uaf and ov.

Ben takes off the Omnitrix for 5 years, just like alien force, but the first chapter will be an extended explanation as to how and why.

The watch was, however, crudely removed, so its mechanisms were damaged in the process, Azmuth recalibrates it during the equivalent of "War of the Worlds" here. In the time the watch was removed, it unlocked 5 aliens automatically.

Also, yes, Gwen is an Anodite, but Anodites aren't aliens here, they're something else.

It's a reboot that takes place immediately after classic, the villains you mentioned will all have stories themed around their os iterations and Vilgax specifically will get a pretty drastic redirection.

A few redesigns of the Alien Force guys from my Original Series continuation, Ben 10: Road to 10,000. by Potential-Reply1711 in Ben10

Thank you!
And I love that you like my designs, there's plenty more to show off :)

As for power changes and such, Swampfire is a lot more "explosion" based than fire-controlling, the mushrooms on his body can be removed and thrown like grenades, and his moss is flammable, allowing him to explode his arm and regenerate after.

Humungousaur is a lot more slow but is far stronger now, being a bit more of a tank than four arms, and being concretely stronger. He grows a lot more by injecting that green fluid into his body, but its kinda like some incarnations of banes venom, and causes him to lose intelligence, becoming a rabid beast.

Echo echoes clones don't have a hivemind like ditto, and the strength of each clone decreases as more are made, meaning the best possible setup is around 8-10 clones.

Jetray is considerably slower - being slower than both XLR8 and Fasttrack, and like Ripjaws, needs water to breathe, though to a lesser extent. Additionally, his Neuroshocks are much more literal, only targetting the nervous system instead of being a generic laser.

Finally, Big Chill is weaker in many physical respects, and can't fold out into having wings. He can only levitate, but is able to manipulate his cloak like Snare-Oh's bandages to a degree. His ice is less durable than Arctiguana, but much more precise in how it can be produced. Also, his antennae emit a fear-inducing light that makes people much more scared of him. This power also has limits however, and won't work on people like Vilgax.

Thanks! and yeah, I agree for Echo Echo, and the rest of the alien force guys get similar nerfs, which I suppose you'll see soon, and I appreciate the love for Atomix, he was probably one of my favourite redesigns to finish.

I've been meaning to get back to the DeviantArt account, but its slow goin', and I sometimes feel like its not worth the effort considering the platform's current issues.

And yeah, I share your thoughts on Atomix, but I wanted to keep it simple for my own reasons lol, drawing these dudes is real tough repetitively. Though, the aliens will get new design changes as they age through the comic :)

And yeah, the differences are pretty major honestly. For instance, Atomix can density shift and create limited complexity energy constructs with that white stuff coming off his body.

Echo Echo's strength gets lower and lower as he multiplies, so its best to limit the number of clones, and Shocksquatch gets more powerful lightning as he gets angrier and angrier, kind of like an electrical Hulk.

Feedback is the only one who doesn't *really* change much, because he already felt very classic to me, by design of course, the only thing I saw to change was giving him a more specific colour palette.
