The Omnitrix is depicted as being more life-form than machine, being able to grow as any life-form would to fulfill its function. It now can disinfect DNAliens and other genetic defects and talk. In Ben 10: Alien Force, the Omnitrix changes and becomes smaller and lighter. On one occasion, the Omnitrix was hit by a power surge in Vilgax's ship, forcing Ben to morph from alien to alien at random for a limited time. In Season 2 of Ben 10:Alien Force, it is shown that Ben has gotten the ability to change his alien form at will. By pressing the symbol seen on Ben's alien forms, the user can either switch from any alien form to another or deactivate the Omnitrix, though only Vilgax and Ben's future self have shown the ability to do so, suggesting more to the feature than the simple touch. It is clear that he was able to reactivate it at some point within twenty years into a possible future. Ben accidentally discovers this code, but is forced to clear it later.

Another code allows the user to remain in any form indefinitely and switch between different forms at will. When a proper code (out of billions) is entered, the Omnitrix will receive some form of enhancement, such as unlocking a new alien form.

Four buttons on the face of the Omnitrix act as a combination lock for the Omnitrix's full potential. Various methods exist to bypass its normal limits, most of which require some technical knowledge of the device.
#BEN 10 OMNITRIX ALIENS MOVIE#
Still, this movie is counted as non-canon. As revealed in Race Against Time the limited period in which it stays active (10 minutes) is a fail-safe designed to keep the alien DNA from overwhelming the user. When damaged or under the influence of a virus, it can malfunction, causing strange mutations in the various alien forms. It has even refused to activate on several occasions, actually resisting Ben's attempts to push the face down. It may also implement a change other than the one selected.

When it finally deactivates, it remains red and is unusable until it recharges from a few minutes to almost a quarter of an hour. When the Omnitrix is about to deactivate, it beeps and flashes red.

When used normally, the Omnitrix only allows the wearer to occupy a specific form for a limited amount of time, usually around ten minutes. The device is described as a prototype by the show's creators, who also falsely hint that Vilgax had something to do with its creation. Large amounts of energy seem to work, though not consistently, and removing it through amputation also works. Because of the manner in which it operates, the Omnitrix becomes difficult to remove once attached. By pushing the face back down, the Omnitrix binds the selected alien's DNA to the user's own, transforming them into the alien of their choice. The face can then be twisted to select different aliens.

When a button on the side is pressed, the face pops up and shows a silhouette of an alien. The Omnitrix (a combination of the Latin words omni- and trix, literally meaning "many forms") is portrayed as a small alien device that attaches to the wrist of the user like a watch. He compared the Omnitrix to Noah's Ark and Ben to Noah. To Azmuth this function was so important that he decided to forbade Ben from fighting Highbreed. The Omnitrix has the DNA of all sentient species in the galaxy and serves as a means to repopulate them if their species went extint. Eventually the device landed on Earth.Īzmuth also designed the Omnitrix with a secondary purpose: a countermeasure against the Highbreed. Fearing for his own safety, Azmuth sent the Omnitrix away to parts unknown. Vilgax and other aliens only saw combat potential in such a device and sought to possess it. It is said that magnets and charged pulses can disorient XLR8 to the point where he can't balance.Azmuth created the Omnitrix with the intention to provide the various species of the universe a better understanding of each other, essentially walking a mile in an others shoes. He doesn't run well on ice or strong adhesives. XLR8 lacks physical strength which is about the same as a normal human.
