![]() ![]() However, Echo Echo can clone himself faster, his clones aren’t linked to each other, and he has a sonic scream to boot. Echo Echo also has the ability to clone himself. So then Ben 10: Alien Force came out and created Echo Echo. Plus his design and personality just screamed Yako Warner from Animaniacs which made me really like him. His biggest weakness was that all of Ditto’s clones are linked so if one experiences pain they all do. Ditto had the unique ability to clone himself seemingly without limit. In the original series, the episode “Divided We Stand” gave us the alien Ditto. Echo Echo is the opposite, I dislike him because he made previous aliens that I liked redundant. Fasttrack I didn’t like because he was literally created into redundancy by aliens that existed before him. Now, similar to the last two, my biggest problem with Echo Echo comes with how he compares to other aliens, but almost in reverse of the previous two. Ben 10: Ultimate Alien gave us Jury Rigg and Clockwork and those two were completely original.Īaaaand back to the unpopular opinions. Hell, maybe create an entirely new alien! Like, new new, not rip-off new. Why not XLR8? Why did you have to go out of your way to create an entirely new alien that is barely any different from XLR8 when you could’ve just used XLR8. Four Arms came back, Diamondhead came back, Cannonbolt came back, even Wildmutt came back. Ben 10: Ultimate Alien brought back quite a few aliens from the original series. Just, why? Granted, Fasttrack is suppose to be slightly stronger than XLR8 in terms of strength rather than speed, but being a speedster this doesn’t do anything for him. It’s even been confirmed by the creators that XLR8 is faster than Fasttrack. Fasttrack shares XLR8’s color scheme (black and blue) and his powers (super speed). I mean, at least Chromastone has different abilities than Dieamondhead and a different color scheme. He’s a bigger XLR8 rip-off then Chromastone is a Diamondhead rip-off. Why? Heck do I know! There’s just no redeeming quality to this alien. Fasttrack was created for Ben 10: Ultimate Alien simply because the creators didn’t want to bring XLR8 back. Now, I actually think I hold the popular opinion here when it comes to this alien so I hope we can at least agree on this guy. So, this makes him the very best of the worst. At the same time though, he is useful in battle and the mythology surrounding his race is somewhat interesting. Still, neither in his abilities or his design have I ever really found anything I cared about when it came to this alien. Now granted, Upchuck’s abilities mostly deal with converting solid matter into energy bombs while Chromastone and Feedback simply absorbs and redirect actual energy (electricity, lasers, etc.). Said abilities, secondly, being done before in a similar fashion with Upchuck and has been done since with Feedback. He comes off to me as a Diamondhead rip-off just with different abilities. First, I just don’t find his design all that interesting. ![]() My biggest gripe with Chromastone is really two fold. It’s not a weak alien and it has it’s uses in battle. Let me make a few things crystal clear (hehe). Another thing that may influence how much I like an alien could be how they were used in the show. How I judge an alien is usually based on the following: Their designs, their powers and abilities, and how well they compare to the rest of the omnitrix’s aliens.I want to make sure I say this because I’m pretty sure I have some unpopular opinions among the Ben 10 fandom. ![]()
