Yeah! Gimme an Omnitrix and my life will be magical, adventurous and full of the real fun. Wow! Ten aliens with unique powers, along with the positive vibes! I mean to say they always support the good purpose only. As far as I know there was only one alien Ghostfreak who went on wrong path, otherwise, these aliens are pretty wise. Anyways, I want the Omnitrix so that I too could transform into different aliens in different situations. Imagine I can fly, I can swim, I can have great brains and even I can run faster than air. Above all I can travel in time. My life will become cool. Who would like to resist such life?

I just wonder about the brains who have created this idea of Omnitrix containing so many aliens. These are simply meant to overcome one’s shortcomings. If you are slow then bring on “XLR8″. What about “Ripjaws” instead of scuba diving. No need for oxygen mask on your face. Feel the water on your skin. Isn’t this amazing?
I would equally love to become “Grey Matter”, the five inches tall alien, whenever I would like to dismantle my friend’s new play station or cell phone, before that boggles my mind with jealous.
It will be great fun playing pranks with friends with the help of aliens. Ghostfreak or Wildmutt are perfect for the purpose. If you want to fly then Stinkfly is the best option. Do acrobats in air and tease birds. Hey don’t try this without Stinkfly. You can guess where you will land?

My most favorite alien is “Upgrade”. He can mess with any kind of technology. So I see a good scope for mischief with him. Keep guessing.
I have loved this series from the beginning and the reason is these aliens. This is the only series, where you will find excellent balance of humor and action. Otherwise action freaks go for Japanese manga series, but I found this one the best. Now it’s on air with different story plot and title “Ben 10: Alien Force”, but I still love the original Ben 10.

If you are also a huge fan of “Ben 10“, then I have a question for you guys. Have you ever keenly observed Ben Tennyson’s family? If not then give them another look. In fact, why just family? Each and every character of “Ben 10″ is commendable. I must complement the creators’ team for painting such beautiful real like characters. Look at Ben first, who is a ten year old kid. After accidentally getting powers, and really big responsibilities, the child inside him still remains alive. Remember, he got only powers and no morale or courage. These qualities are shown innate. That’s why his character is adorable; he’s a hero but the naughty one. I loved his character.

Above all I loved his fights with his cousin Gwen. They keep taunting each other and remain in a sort of competition all the time. Gwen’s character is a little different than Ben, but is equally interesting. She is a normal ten year old girl. She has natural sharpness and she’s a born magician. Like, in one episode, a charm caster says that she has that magical aura inside her. Though she gives complex to Ben in every field, but still helps him in his difficult times like a loyal friend. I liked this factor of realness and natural relationship between siblings among these characters.
On the other hand, their Grandpa Max, who appears like a sober old man in the beginning. Steadily, it is revealed that he was also a hero like Ben in his times and Ben’s bravery is inherited. He loves to go on trips with his grand children like every common grandpa in the world. He’s always protective and supportive towards Ben and Gwen like a normal parent.

The thing I liked the most about this show is that no character appears to be artificial and these are believable despite being part of an animation. I believe if they make a non animated film with same story and characters out of it, this is gonna leave many series like ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Star Trek’ far behind. This is capable of hanging me on for some more seasons if it brings.

I am very well aware that “Ben10- Alien Force” is going on, but sorry to say that this couldn’t satisfy my thirst of action, which the original series made me addict of. I would have liked the second form of Ben 10, if there had been a crowd of aliens like before. Now the new Ben Tennyson remains busy in search of lost grandpa, while the previous Ben was longing to save the world. The story plot makes a huge difference. I liked that Ben, who has responsibility to save the world, more than this one, who is loyal to his grandpa only.

The most devastating thing about the second series is that Ben has no “Omnitrix” this time. The “Omnitrix” was the major attraction of the series than Ben. Ben was able to be naughty only because he had Omnitrix full of different aliens. Nonetheless, he was able to solve his troubles with the help of smart and strong aliens. Whether it’s about winning a video game, or having a ride in Water Park, he’s not tall enough for. Whenever his life becomes a little boring, he goes on trip with his grandfather Max and Cousin Gwen and surely faces some alien. Cool life Man!
He got power along with responsibility and there was some purpose behind his existence. But in this series, his character doesn’t come out in that kind of serious form. In fact his character here is a bit unbelievable. I mean how a hero can enjoy powers just to locate his missing relatives.

Above all, his enemy ever before, Kevin is friendly with his this time. I can just expect that the creators have cherished some secret until the end of the season of “Ben 10-Alien Force”. Otherwise this is no fun to watch this series.
After this detailed discussion the bottom line is that I am missing the original “Ben 10″ and I want that back. Though, my prime destination for watching the series is here, but these four seasons are just not enough and I want more of ‘Omnitrix’ magic in Ben’s hands.

Ben10 is purely an American animated television series, produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The creator is a group named “Man of Action” consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly and Steven T. Seagle. The show premiered on December 27, 2005 and the season ended on April 15, 2008. In the same month series took one step ahead and turned into Ben 10: Alien Force.

The story revolves around ten years old Ben Tennyson, who, after fighting with his cousin Gwen goes on a trip into the woods. There he finds an alien pod and when he analyzes it, a mysterious watch like device catches his eye. The device is called “Omnitrix” and latches with Ben’s wrist permanently. “Omnitrix” makes him capable of transforming into about ten alien life forms, each having their distinct powers. Ben fights with the evil aliens and protects needy people with the help of these alien forms. He’s sort of mischievous hero and gets time to be naughty even in urgent situations. The series is much like a ‘Manga series’ but with a little difference. Naughty character of Ben makes this action packed series a little more spectacular. Watching it once is just not enough………
