Ultimatrix
The Ultimatrix is a Level 19 DNA Manipulator, created by Albedo of the Galvan, one of the brilliant minds that helped build the initial Omnitrix. It is primarily used by Albedo himself as an act of defiance against Azmuth, due to his trust of Ben Tennyson using the Omnitrix. Like the device previously, it grants Albedo the ability to transform into an arsenal of alien creatures.
However, an unforeseen glitch occurred once Albedo activated the device. Since Ben’s DNA is the default form, it turned Albedo into a genetic duplicate of Ben.
The Ultimatrix’s primary ability is that it can artificially evolve certain transformations, granting them new powers and new abilities that are more powerful. This was activated by pressing the Ultimatrix symbol as an alien, causing four glowing spikes to grow from the dial and for the alien to transform.
Functions
-
The Ultimatrix’s primary feature is to alter the genetic code of the user and thus transform them into a variety of aliens collected across the Universe. The database is linked to the original Omnitrix and thus can only use aliens that the Omnitrix has current access to. The Ultimatrix transformations are the prime example of the species, being healthiest, strongest, and most versatile for optimum use, it even provides certain species with equipment in order to survive environments not native to their own.
-
The duration of the transformation lasts between 10-15 minutes each. Once the transformation ends, the Ultimatrix will begin to flash white accompanied by a beeping sound, then the user will revert back to their normal form.
-
Whilst the transformation lasts for a certain amount of time, the user is able to switch between aliens within the time frame by manually touching the Omnitrix symbol on their body. This can also be used to revert back to their normal form.
-
Despite it seeming more powerful, most of the additional features the Omnitrix possesses have been removed from the Ultimatrix. It is not able to scan DNA, instead relying on the Omnitrix’s database to gain access to aliens. It cannot employ an energy feedback blast for defence. It lacks a built-in translator, a two-way communicator, repairing damaged DNA, or displaying a hologram map for GPS.
As a side effect, the Ultimatrix badge that appears on transformations is exclusively on the chest/center of the alien. Unlike the official Omnitrix that accommodates the badge on random places of the aliens.
-
The Evolutionary Function works by enhancing all of the physical features of the alien DNA, as well as using nano-machines to grant them biological weaponry. The concoction is mixed with the original DNA and thus is modified into the “Ultimate Form”. The new forms are more combat-centered then their normal forms.
There are only two major drawbacks for going ultimate. The first is that it drains the energy of the Ultimatrix significantly, making the time it takes to be an alien shorter than normal. The second (and more importantly) is that the DNA makes the host a lot more aggressive than normal, as it pumps up the user’s adrenaline and cortisol. This also slowly corrupts the DNA of the host as the artificial nano-machines absorb the DNA in order to “ultimize” the aliens.
Albedo
Albedo is a Galvan scientist who was the personal assistant of Azmuth and one of the few people who worked on the Omnitrix. After betraying Azmuth, he builds the Ultimatrix himself.
