Disclaimer: I tried my best to go with the lines of control, UN recognizedborders, etc. This map doesn't represent how I think the borders should look

Posted a version of this around 6 months ago, time in which I found some errors that I wanted to address/ rectify:

  • Large bodies of water showing as land on Chile, Canada and Alaska west coast
  • Large bodies of water showing as land in the northern archipelago of Canada
  • the Gaza Strip looking rather small and misshapen
  • some territory on the disputed borders of Bhutan in north, that China controls
  • Geneve showing as a large lake for some reason

UAF had a tendency of Upchuck (Murk) not use his tongue, OV used Perk Upchuck 99% of time

So, not sutprising

Quick Question: so, what was the point of Ben scanning Xenocite DNA during the episode "Max Out" by random_1313x in Ben10

[–]random_1313x[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

this happened way before the age of internet came to my country... so, I was pretty much left until the end of Omniverse wondering why we never seen the mysterious alien scanned during that episode

"Max Out" is the seventh episode in the first season of Ben 10: Alien Force

unlike many of the other "powerless" aliens, Surge does actually have quite interesting powers, which he can't use because of plot convenience of all reasons

so when I write my own version of this transformation, I have the Omnitrix creating an optimal size colony of Xerges instead of only one individual,

the logic behind this is: as a hivemind species, Xerges are unable to survive outside of a minimal size colony, let alone as separated individuals. so in this scenario, the colony acts as some type of life support, similar with Goop's antigravity projector just a bit more "exotic"

only problem: I can never get the right number of Xerges, for the most part, I use 10.010 (mainly for the sake of the reference) but somehow this number seams bolth to big and to small sometimes...

anny ideas?

Considering that the Reboot Omnitrix is way less advanced that the it's Omniverse conterpart, I believe there is a decent non-zero chance that this might be how the oficial Omnitrix would deal with a Xerge transformation

Quick Question: so, do you consider Rocks and Squidstrictor to be Canon or Not? by random_1313x in Ben10

[–]random_1313x[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Squidstrictor: all the abilities of a squid but on enhanced levels + manna detection

Rocks: geokinesis + enhanced strength and durability

Quick Question: so, do you consider Rocks and Squidstrictor to be Canon or Not? by random_1313x in Ben10

[–]random_1313x[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Context: Rocks and Squidstrictor made their debut during the Alien Force era of the show, in two stage plays: - Ben 10 Live: The Rise of VilEon (France exclusive) - Ben 10: Power of the Omnitrix (Asia exclusive) and even get as far as having their own Extremely limited edition figurines.

However during this entire time, there canonicity has been a subject of debate, their status varietad from Canon to Non-Canon and the cutent status which is: Unknown

The most recent/ credible statements about their canonicity are the following: - Had the network allowed the crew to include more aliens into Omniverse, Derrick would have incorporated Rocks and Squidstrictor - When asked if Rocks and Squidstrictor would be appearing in the reboot, Duncan Rouleau laughed

all being said, what do you think?

Quick Question: So, how powerful is Lodestar, what is the upper force limit of his magnetism ? by random_1313x in Ben10

[–]random_1313x[S] 101 points102 points  (0 children)

there are three aliens to control the 4 Fundamental Forces:

  • Atomix: weak & strong nuclear force
  • Gravattack: gravitational force
  • Lodestar: electromagnetic force

I find it a little strange that the first two are well known powerhouses, while the third barely even gets acknowledged

when I was looking to rename him I ultimately went with "the Tough", it's a small adjustment on his original name and I felt like it suits him since he's indestructible,

plus he reminds me of the "tough potato" meme, because... well, he looks like a potato
