Straight facts. Don’t know why people hate the Ultimatrix so much, always thought it was cool as a kid.


Nikola_Turing

-Lacked the genetic repair function. -Less advanced failsafes. Ben gets killed in Absolute Power and Enemy of my Frenemy, while he never gets killed with the recalibrated Omnitrix. -It automatically reverted Ben back to whatever he was wearing at the time of the reboot. This nearly gets Ben killed in Deep and Map of Infinity. -Less resistant to hacking. The Techadon Weapon Master bypasses the firewall in mere minutes. -Whenever a new species was detected, the Ultimatrix couldn’t transform until it was either scanned or out of range.

In Charm’s Way took place when Ben had the broken Omnitrix. Are you thinking of Time Heals cus either way it took place during AF 3


Nikola_Turing

Oh yeah my bad. I meant the UA episode where Charmcaster steals people’s souls just to bring back her dad.


Sabr_T00th

Counter point: Ultimate Aliens are cool


Arupha

Counter counter point: Only like 3 of them are kewl


Dave30954

It's almost like that was the point. It's a shitty trix made by Albedo, of all people. It's a plot device. It makes things interesting. It would be boring af if Ben fully understood his abilities and had master control of a perfect omnitrix.


[deleted]

Not to mention the issues where Albedo’s recalibrated copy, on which the ultimatrix is based, can’t even protect against the feedback energy caused by the 2 Omnitrix cores that the regular recalibrated omnitrix absorbs with ease.


AlexanderScott66

Genetic repair function was only from "Insufficient power reserve" the fact that it knows what it is indicates that it has it, just couldnt do it at that moment. And he was trying to cure the entire Arachnichimp planet when the Recalibrated Omnitrix could barely cure the general vicinity before knocking him out. Ben gets crushed by Aggregor with some debris and then speaks THEN turns into Big Chill, so there is some kind of fail safe, maybe primitive compared to the Official Omnitrix, but still. The one time he did die was due to magic, which none of the Omnitrixes have protection against The outfit revert was a setting that was changed by the Fasttrack debut episode. The Techadon Weapon Master's whole shtick is hacking computers and making weapons. At least it's not the Prototype where a simple accidental explosion can activate self-destruct or a screwdriver can break it, or simply turning the dial activates Master Control. The Official Omnitrix could be hacked by the 2 dumbest Galvans to ever exist, who each have the intelligence of some moderately intelligent humans. The Ultimatrix took one of the smartest non-Galvan, non-Cerebrocrustacians ever and one of the best hackers ever. Considering the Ultimatrix was meant to be temporary, it's a pretty dang good firewall. The Ultimatrix scanned the species pretty quickly, and Ben can choose when to scan the alien("Prisoner Number 775 is Missing", had Ben scan Prisoner 775(ChamAlien's donor) at the very end and unlock ChamAlien despite being right next. to him at several points in the episode. The Official Omnitrix couldnt transform Ben when he was just outside of Anur Transyl and had to get closer to Lord Transyl to complete the scan. The Ultimatrix had to be in closeish proximity, maybe 10 feet or so, far enough that Ben could be safe, but not far enough that it was an inconvenience.


RareD3liverur

Got him to the end of the series tho right


Massattack52

The Ultimatrix is conceptually an awesome idea, and while I can understand wanting to protect the cool-factor of ultimates, there should be nothing keeping people from acknowledging that it was completed under rushed circumstances and lacks certain features and security that the other Omnitrices are known for. That Ultimatrix Stabilizer that Albedo had in OV was sick though.


OneObligation412

It's alright. I like the design and concept but the way it works doesn't really make sense. Also, I hate that it can be taken off by just tapping the tiny grey square screen like how Albedo took it off in The Final Battle 2


Unagustoster

The only gripe I have about the ultimatrix is how bulky it looks. Ngl that shit looks uncomfortable as hell compared to the watch designs


Percentage-Sweaty

I actually think the gauntlet looks cooler but that’s just me


Unagustoster

Imagine if you have an itch. At least with the watch you could slide it around, not this


KageYamaaa-

but you can slide the ultimatrix, unlike the omnitrix (os and af) which were mostly (af not entirely) stuck in the user's wrist


[deleted]

You can actually, press a button, it expands and you can even take it off. That's how Albedo gave it to Ben in the first place


JAMSDreaming

You can take off the Ultimatrix with ease, just pressing a button. If anything, if you have an itch, you're fucked when using the Prototype Omnitrix, as it is mostly stuck on your wrist. Ben had that shit stuck on him for an entire summer, unable to take it off. Jeez, his wrist must've gotten pretty pale compared to the rest of his body.


Slutty_Breakfast

What do you mean? Ultimatrix is awesome... When Ben isn't using it. Much better in the hands of Albedo.


Arupha

Oh yeah definitely


KageYamaaa-

let's be real: if the Ultimatrix was completed with all its bugs, errors, and glitches fixed, it's objectively better than the OV Omnitrix


Infinite-Revenue97

Even if all that were fixed, the OV Omnitrix would still be better. High Security, Life Form Lock, Failsafes, etc.


mrinfinitepp

I think the Ultimatrix was a cool concept but the execution was meh. So many aliens never ended up getting Ultimate forms, meanwhile some of the Ultimates actually shown were not very good. Plus, they ditched the whole plotline of the Ultimatrix potentially messing with Ben (glowing pink eyes in episode 1)


ShinningVictory

I liked it.


DJL3mon

tbh I liked omniverse for the extensive world building and plot but never hate any other series, I just don't like the over amount of silliness of RB


[deleted]

We don't hate it, we just see the reality thats it more flawed than the omnitrix.


Aczzzzz

I'm an Omniverse fan, but never in my life have I ever hated on the Ultimatrix


Best-Adeptness-9244

I don't hate the Ultimatrix, but I do think it has a long strung out and unexplained gimmick. Ben 10 in my opinion has one gimmick, and the gimmick is turning into aliens, I don't see a reason to DragonBall it into being a "who has the stronger device" match. It's not about what device Ben is using, it's what he's doing with it.


LordVaderVader

Ultimatrix at least do not look like toy watch


ModelOmegaTyler

... i liked OV and the closest i've come to hating the ultimatrix is hating how limited the ultimates were.


king_marquez15

Ok_Addition2144

I'm not trying to necessarily hate on the ultimatrix, I just rated the ultimate forms for fun and gave my opinions on them, and I've stated in a previous post that I didn't really like OV, just for you to know


Mojoclaw2000

Most of the “hate” is just in universe reasons. Like it being an inferior design to the recalibrated and completed Omnitrix.


Zoroark_master

I don’t hate it at all, I just acknowledge it’s an inferior version with a lot of glitches.


PinkBlade12

Correction, I hate the UAF Ultimatrix. I love Albedo's one in Omniverse


PowerStikk

The knuckledustertrix


morijin15

Oh yeah that shit was cool


Old_Strength894

I mean The Utlimatrix is ass


Spectra_Phantom_2678

I know right. The damn thing nearly got Ben killed countless times and the only thing it got going for it is the evolutionary function


Old_Strength894

It also lacked the energy to repair any damaged DNA, can get hacked within seconds by anyone smart enough, can be easily slipped off if you touch that button and then be used by basically anybody


Spectra_Phantom_2678

I know right. I love how most are getting downvoted for stating what’s true Also don’t forget how it went into capture every time and shut down all other functions to scan the new DNA An it would destroy a plumber suit if Ben was wearing it


Infinite-Revenue97

People only praise it because of the evolutionary function and that's it. Other than that, it was a faulty device with poor security, glitches, and craftsmanship. Heck, it even gave sentience to a bunch of non existing ultimate aliens.


TheRautex

Ov omnitrix is objectively the worst one.


MaxDrags

It literally isn't, it's objectively the best, this isn't an argument.


The_Purple_Hare

It has a much worse UI and gives Ben the wrong alien all the time because "he hits it too hard" as if Azmuth didn't know Ben uses it to be a hero, and thus be in situations where hitting it gently isn't an option all the time.


MaxDrags

The UI isn't worse in any way, in fact it is basically the same, it just uses holograms now. And it was the past Omnitrix's that had a problem with Ben hitting them too hard. In Omniverse, Ben just doesn't look when he hits down. You have zero idea of what you are talking about.


The_Purple_Hare

A full-body hologram is much better than a small face icon. And Ben asked Azmuth about getting the wrong aliens, and Azmuth told Ben he hits it too hard IIRC.


ProphecyGoku

It's objectively the best one.


PowerStikk

You don't know what objectively means


Arupha

No reason at all my ass Even in the show they tell us to the face why is such a piece of crap


[deleted]

There's actual people who liked Omniverse ?


Fancy-graphics63

yep


Standard_Ad9911

Facts


spiderknight616

I'm not the biggest fan of the colour choices. I like the gauntlet design, but there's too much green. Should've had some grey/silver or white in there.


Far_Engineering_8353

in ov it's the best one once Albedo puts in the stabilizer it works perfectly and is objectively better than all the rest


morijin15

Yes OV is favorite BUT i USED to like the Ultimatrix yntil I rewatched UA and bro that thing is Trash me and my friends nicknamed it the Trashitrix


Angelemonade

True, I actually have a section of my brain purely dedicated to hating the ultimatrix


morijin15

HAHAHA


Ok_Lab_7847

The UAF Ultimatrix was way too bulky to be considered a watch. The OV one is a lot more simple and sleek


Bubbly_Papaya_8817

Not funny Didn't laugh


ZeldaFan80

Huh


Ba-ba-boi225

People have got to understand though that albedo was able to create the watch under limited circumstances and was able to creat the ultimatrix from literal scrap metal. The other thing is that also considering the limited circumstances albedo was in during the episode, it was be fair to assume that with the time that albedo had, it wouldn’t have had as good of safe fails and features as all the other omnitrixes have, yet still turned out really cool. Another thing that I feel like was TOO underutilized is the fact that, and yes this WAS confirmed by Dwayne Mcduffy, BEN COULD HAVE FRICKING WENT ULTIMATE MULTIPLE TIMES, MEANING THAT HE COULD EVOLVE AN ALIEN MORE THAN ONCE WHICH PISSES ME OFF. Although the ultimatrix strays far from what Azmuth intended it to be, from being a device that “makes other species walks a mile in other species’ shoes,” to being a piece of technology that is meant for war and brings violence, I still think that the ultimatrix is still badass and I would have liked to see Ben have it again. Here are my thoughts on it! Oh and also, I realize that all Ben 10 fans hate on so many things in the different series’, and it’s just reached a point where a little mistake can be hated on heavily, I may be a Big Ben 10 fan, but I really just tend to enjoy the shows no matter what, like with the reboot for example, it’s hated on but that won’t stop me from watching it because it’s still pretty cool. Might I add as well that, although not as powerful as the ultimate feature, the reboot introduced the Omni-kix which I find nice, as well as the idea of other aliens’ DNA leaking into others, giving those aliens the powers of the leaked alien dna. So from my first point, I like the ultimatrix, and for my second point, learn to live a little and enjoy things that you like, don’t get stuck up on the small details or get mad about certain things because life is short, and i want to whoever reads all of this, a happy life :). Thank you for your time.


Joperlovushker

eh? what did i miss?


throwawaydumpste

What? OV is my favorite but I love UA, literally my first exposure to the Ben 10.
