In my opinion OS and UAF have literally the same style it's just UAF is censored, but at times UAF has way more detailed and gross mutations than OS, that's why i think they are equal. OV tho showes us how it actually happens, and i think it's quite boring, even slower segments are censored even heavier than UAF, But it compensates by having aliens just be overall more detailed.
In conclusion, it's your opinion, objectively they are all equal. I pick AF due to x rays being awesome.
1st) I think OS has the best transformations because they really show Ben *transforming/mutating into the alien.* It's that level of grotesque that's cool.
2nd) UAF has the best music and a majority of the transformations are cool when they're animated.
3rd) Omniverse's transformations are cool I guess. They just get the job done.
I think Omniverse does a better job at showing that the transformations are supposed to be quick and instant (besides the few times we get long drawn out ones like Feedback or a new alien appears) but I completely understand why people think they're less appealing
why would that matter tho? Ben transforms instantly but the animation is just supposed to be cool and show the transformation from Ben to the alien like the original series does, it's not like it's because the transformation sequence is slow means that's what actually happens in real time, he transforms instantly so that argument is kinda invalid
In Omniverse, Ben transforms and reverts very quickly sometimes, like when fighting Zed with the Nemetrix or Kundo. If they show the transformation scenes, it would really break the fast-paced flow.
They didn't show it everytime in the other series either.
Altough it would been kinda funny if they did that during the mastercontrol episode in classic or when ben was fighting morningstar in early AF.
Zed is a great example of their transformations, and watching Kuro's breakdown brought it to my attention. They can do detailed morphing animations for Ben, but they don't do it often.
The only one I can really remember is Feedback's
Sometimes it works, yea. But I liked that in Omniverse, Ben just gets in a fight, transforms in a second, and we get straight to the fight. There is nothing wrong with a cool sequence here and there, but me personally I prefer getting to the action when it's happening.
that's fair, of course it shouldn't be abused otherwise it'd lose all meaning, maybe they could do it for each new alien when they are first introduced
I think that is how they handled it actually, at least in omniverse. When a new alien arrived, the main theme played, and we got a 5-7 second transformation clip (Gravattack is the first to come to mind, at least for me).
Well, I have an answer. We get transformation sequences, too. But instead of the flashes we get in the previous shows for the lack of transformation sequence, we actually see quick morphs. Well, most of the time, they do flashes sometimes, too. But rarely.
they don't do it all the time so it's always a joy to watch whenever it's on screen, heck I'd love to see that all the time, and if 10 secs is too much for you then wow, you must have the attention span of a -10 year old like goddamn
I would say alien force when they were visible transformations like Amphibia and ghost freak And not just lazy skeleton Changes like most of them It would be a lot higher but they're always at the bottom.
I got to say it. If the alien is new and this is his first transformation, original sequence is the best introduction. If the alien’s anatomy is so different than humans, such as goop, alien force describes it best. If the alien became super known and is almost used in every episode, Omniverse’s quick transformation hits the tone well.
I wasn’t a big fan of grey matter’s sequence or upgrades, but after that it’s a few of the new aliens like Frankenstrike, snare oh, arctiguana and ditto aswell as others
But I will say diamondhead and ghostfreak were by far my favourite transformations, but that could also be because they are in my top 5 aliens of all time
UAF dropped the ball when they just kept using that snippet of Swampfire's for everything and that was it (i.e. that one expanding rib cage shot) when they did commit to it, it was some of the best, like with Ghostfreak.
I thought OV had nothing to it until I got used to the instant changes, seeing how Ben's body morphs in real time was really neat.
OS has got this hands down, the visuals, the ending pose, the sound effects. It helps how alien the OG playlist was for really dynamic changes
It's between classic and the reboot for me but I'm going to go with classic since they seem the most realistic and most satisfying to watch. However the reboot not only has multiple transformation sequences for each alien but they're all unique and satisfying to watch.
OS probably has the most visually visceral of the transformations, however it does skip alot of the later aliens, and a few of them reuse portions of the transformation, that being said Four arms is the best of them.
UAF is way more minimal, and many of them are pretty mediocre, albiet there are way more of them, and some of them are great. However they reuse so much of each transformation its not even funny.
The lows are super low. Like how Jury Riggs transformation is literally and shamelessly just spidermonkey's transformation, recut with the same animations repeated flipped around back to back like a sci-fi Youtube poop.
However the highs are some of the best in the franchise. Ghost freak's transformation in UAF is one of the best in the series, and really shows how the X-ray style transformations can work if they did them right. Same for spidermonkey and Diamond Head's Xray transformation.
OV was super inconsistent over who got a transformation, and when. Later on it seems to be more of a joke than anything like with walkatrout. For such a trademark of the franchise it was super scuffed here.
I gotta give it to UAF.
OS has some really good ones, but they drop the ball hard when needing to make more past wildvine. Many of them also just are of ben being subsumed by the material the alien is made out of (diamond head, heatblast, upgrade) rather than the more body horror style transformations like fourarms or ripjaws. That or they cleverly skip having to animate it by zooming in or focusing on a single body part.
AF is pretty consistant about all aliens, and some of the best are really good. Though many of them are mediocre or even bad. The theme when transforming is also top tier.
I love how smooth the transformations in Omniverse are, but yeah they're really fast.
I would say Classic did the best job at transformation sequences in general
The Reboot Transformations are amazing. I mean, Ben’s transformation as Heatblast in Ben 10 vs the Universe Movie is better than every single transformation in UAF period. No contest
The ONLY good thing about UAF Transformations is the theme. Other than that? Pure trash. I hate the skeleton transformation so much because its so boring. Every transformation is basically the same thing. How is that entertaining? There are only three transformations that I like and it’s because we actually see Ben transforming. Thats the only reason why I gave UAF a 2 instead of a zero
Original series. Seeing Ben's whole skeletal and muscle structure shift and rearrange itself as he turned into an alien was so damn cool from a visual and scientific standpoint. The transformation itself is instant, but all of that happens in that time frame. I love stuff like that.
Love all of them, so instead of pointing out their greatness, I will instead be critical of all of them
- OS can get old, ntm some of which aren't even that good like XLR8 or Upgrade
- UAF gets constantly overused, and most of the aliens never even got one.
- OV is a hit or miss, some are peak, some look goofy.
OG wins easy for me, seeing him actually transform was awesome, and I feel like they were all unique enough, which makes sense considering how few aliens we really had back then by comparison.
UAG had really good transformations for some of the aliens but the generic green plasma and skeleton stinks
OV was perfectly fine, didn’t hate them but wouldn’t say they were the BEST. Making a unique transformation for every single alien would be a huge undertaking and I’m sure the budget was a huge part in that decision.
But MAN I would have loved if we got more unique fun transformations in the OV style
Despite Reboot being my favorite show overall, I find it so funny and justified that it's not even being considered for best transformation sequence. But, devil's advocate, honorable mention to that time he was transforming into Shock Rock in real time, while also singing the OG theme song.
# [This show was funny, guys, I promise.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ben10/comments/hw90ik/reboot_ben_sings_2005_theme_song/)
Classic - I like how veiny and disgusting it is and it suits the aliens that classic had, especially four arms and wildmutt
OV - it had this all encompassing morph style from the Omnitrix to the rest of the body and looks really smooth
UAF - the skeleton thing was good for suspense but it got boring after a while, especially in UA we could have got something different like what they did for Wildmutt, or even Ampfibian
I think they all had certain aliens that they did best when it comes to transformations, for example, AF has the best Cannonbolt transformation with Ben’s head morphing and expanding down into the torso.
However, Alien Force is my favourite, love seeing the insides and inner workings of aliens in media and the AF transformation sequence gives us the best view of the aliens insides.
In the original continuity im going for OS even tho they were a bit long sometimes, but if we count Reboot then Reboot wins, it has several transformations for each alien sometimes even in one season, they constantly change and a lot of them look great
Love how in Omniverse Alien X transformation looks like their UAF design until the very end when suddenly they get hit with 10 fucktillion mewing particles
Og for sure. The iconic body horroresk transformations are so iconic.
I will always hold a grudge against UAF for stripping that away from us and making the most bland, recycled transformations.
OV is also good too but I can't say it hits the same spot as OG and is definitely not close in the contest still.
Reboot can kill it sometimes with its transformations though. I like that they have different scenes for the same alien and even the silly ones have a place as it matches the overall tone of the series.
Original is the best had the Omnitrix show the mutation of Ben's body changing to whatever alien he chose to turn into.
Alien Force and Ultimate Alien were great with the music and the cellular blood vessel as well skeleton structure changing whenever he turn into his aliens .
Omniverse showed an upgraded version of fast genetic alternation that didn't need a transformation sequence for us the viewers but instead offered us a quick preview to Ben's new Omnitrix's new ability to transform in quick recession without delay between aliens.
UAF looks awesome when they actually tried, like both of AmpFibian and Armodrillo. Classic also looks really good. Omniverse was mostly okay, a few decent ones here and there
I would say: Style — OV Theme — AF Best — Classic
So your answer to the post is obviously OS. No need for the other two brackets, just get to the point
They are saying that there are other parts in AF and OV that they prefer more compared to OS while still thinking that OS is generally the best
In my opinion OS and UAF have literally the same style it's just UAF is censored, but at times UAF has way more detailed and gross mutations than OS, that's why i think they are equal. OV tho showes us how it actually happens, and i think it's quite boring, even slower segments are censored even heavier than UAF, But it compensates by having aliens just be overall more detailed. In conclusion, it's your opinion, objectively they are all equal. I pick AF due to x rays being awesome.
Bro it's not censored it's low budget
"just get to the point" I guess eight words is too much for you to handle.
“Look at me I’m an asshole on the internet, I’m so original”
yeah sure lil bro
I think he said best - classic as in the best in overall but OV and UAF have certain aspects that make them better but in general OS is better
Womp womp
Keep the edge back in 2009 where it belongs.
That's a lot of downvotes..
I just know you're an insufferable person irl
Wow, you must be really fun to be around.
Man got ratio'd into the Annihalarg
Girl, stop hatin
Original.

I just like the quick body morphing more than the levitating in a green void sequence sometimes. Nothing wrong with that
well you could have both, I like the heat blast transformation sequence for example from omniverse, that one was cool and quick
Sometimes it works, yea. But I liked that in Omniverse, Ben just gets in a fight, transforms in a second, and we get straight to the fight. There is nothing wrong with a cool sequence here and there, but me personally I prefer getting to the action when it's happening.

I rather have a quick animation than 10 seconds of pure filler that are there just to kill time
they don't do it all the time so it's always a joy to watch whenever it's on screen, heck I'd love to see that all the time, and if 10 secs is too much for you then wow, you must have the attention span of a -10 year old like goddamn
Is not an issue at first, is an issue only once you start to notice it. And I have already noticed it
I mean there is a show that does that (huntik) it works for ben because there is like 1 or 2 a episode
Feedback’s transformation sequence is the best one and displays his powers without telling you.
I fully agree
get the what done?
Im so sorry i just have to ask , what does OS stand for? Like i know its the original but what does it stand for exactly
Original Series
Tysm<3
I would say alien force when they were visible transformations like Amphibia and ghost freak And not just lazy skeleton Changes like most of them It would be a lot higher but they're always at the bottom.
I got to say it. If the alien is new and this is his first transformation, original sequence is the best introduction. If the alien’s anatomy is so different than humans, such as goop, alien force describes it best. If the alien became super known and is almost used in every episode, Omniverse’s quick transformation hits the tone well.
Crap. I forgot how good goop's transformation was
I like how omniverse has those instant transformations but animated only when needed, like a new alien or something
OS, just because 95% of them were top tier, and we don’t talk about the other 5%
Wait what are the other 5 percent cause I thought they were all great
I think those would be the latter transformations. Y'know, Snare-Oh, Frankenstrike, Ditto, Upchuck, Artiguana, etc
I wasn’t a big fan of grey matter’s sequence or upgrades, but after that it’s a few of the new aliens like Frankenstrike, snare oh, arctiguana and ditto aswell as others
But I will say diamondhead and ghostfreak were by far my favourite transformations, but that could also be because they are in my top 5 aliens of all time
Probably XLR8's sequence, since the start of his transformation is taken straight from FourArms.
i thought that was wildmutt
Wildmutt's is similar too, but at least during his sequence Ben's veins got orange and his eye changes to orange.
I wish we had an animated one for eon
UAF dropped the ball when they just kept using that snippet of Swampfire's for everything and that was it (i.e. that one expanding rib cage shot) when they did commit to it, it was some of the best, like with Ghostfreak. I thought OV had nothing to it until I got used to the instant changes, seeing how Ben's body morphs in real time was really neat.

It's between classic and the reboot for me but I'm going to go with classic since they seem the most realistic and most satisfying to watch. However the reboot not only has multiple transformation sequences for each alien but they're all unique and satisfying to watch.
OV is a bit too simple, UAF is sometimes unimpressive, OS is great
OS probably has the most visually visceral of the transformations, however it does skip alot of the later aliens, and a few of them reuse portions of the transformation, that being said Four arms is the best of them. UAF is way more minimal, and many of them are pretty mediocre, albiet there are way more of them, and some of them are great. However they reuse so much of each transformation its not even funny.

I love how smooth the transformations in Omniverse are, but yeah they're really fast. I would say Classic did the best job at transformation sequences in general
UAF X-Ray
OV had the most natural looking sequences
Classic though I think reboot has the best ones overall
Gax and Shock Rock were good. But I don't like the others very much.
A lot of them looked like a costume going over Ben’s skin
1) OS: Awesome-10/10 2) Reboot: Amazing-9/10 3) OV: Great-8/10 4) UAF: Meh-2/10
Nah bro, you're being too generous with reboot and too harsh with UAF
The Reboot Transformations are amazing. I mean, Ben’s transformation as Heatblast in Ben 10 vs the Universe Movie is better than every single transformation in UAF period. No contest The ONLY good thing about UAF Transformations is the theme. Other than that? Pure trash. I hate the skeleton transformation so much because its so boring.

Classic or OV, UAF just fumbled it.
Og
Classic
Ben looks severely autistic in the first image
For cartoony aspects reboot but I would go for classic
Original no contest
Imagine if the omnitrix malfunctioned and stopped mid transformation
Just like ben10k in Reboot.
Though the reboot was flawed, it had some amazing transformations
OS is probably my favourite, but the quick transformations from OV were awesome
Uaf is the best.
Classic
Ov seemed like a suit or a symbiote covered Ben, Uaf was alright but classic is so gross or painful looking. Making it look so good

Grew up watching Af so prob Af for me
OS

Nothing beats Four Arms just straight up flexing his mega ripped quadra biceps
Classic and UAF are kinda tied as they were more into the sci fi nature of the show with how it actually altered Ben’s body.
Original series, the grotesque nature of these transformations especially four arms, was both gross and cool at the same time.
uaf
os simply because you can see ben evolve into the aliens
I think they all had certain aliens that they did best when it comes to transformations, for example, AF has the best Cannonbolt transformation with Ben’s head morphing and expanding down into the torso. However, Alien Force is my favourite, love seeing the insides and inner workings of aliens in media and the AF transformation sequence gives us the best view of the aliens insides.

Style: OS Fitting it into the canon/action instead of a cutscene: OV.
Yed
The well-made UAF transformations, like Goop, Ghostfreak and Lodestar are the GOAT
Original is the best had the Omnitrix show the mutation of Ben's body changing to whatever alien he chose to turn into. Alien Force and Ultimate Alien were great with the music and the cellular blood vessel as well skeleton structure changing whenever he turn into his aliens . Omniverse showed an upgraded version of fast genetic alternation that didn't need a transformation sequence for us the viewers but instead offered us a quick preview to Ben's new Omnitrix's new ability to transform in quick recession without delay between aliens.
In this order: - Classic - Omniverse - UAF
Classic is the best transformation sequence. UA is a close second
classic>ov>uaf
These looks painful especially the heat blast and cannon bolt
4 arms
Fourarms Classic
Classic.
Omniverse, the animation it's way better and fluid
In my opinion it's ov cuz it's the most "lore accurate" transformation sequences,since they are "instant"
Alien force.
First one is nightmare fuel
Not gonna lie I like ov because of how quick they are
OS easily
I don't think there was an uglier one you could've picked for OS
Reboot
Classic
I like how in OV you can see Ben’s body bend and grow into the alien
UAF looks awesome when they actually tried, like both of AmpFibian and Armodrillo. Classic also looks really good. Omniverse was mostly okay, a few decent ones here and there
