My own take on the Ben 10 universe, which is honestly barely fleshed out.

Ben’s Aliens

Swampfire- Bigger and bulkier, has less defined three fingered hands, and doesn’t have a mouth at all.

Ripjaws- Has a breathing tube thing over his gills so he’s actually useful on land.

Diamondhead

Brainstorm- About the same size as Ben’s human form, claws are actual crab claws instead of thin crescent shapes, has a weird speech pattern (speaks in short, clipped sentences, uses a lot of technical terms, says “this one” instead of “I” or “me”)

Ball Weevil

Wildmutt- Has stripes now

Ghostfreak- Skin is more saggy and separate looking with the tentacles occasionally poking out from underneath to show that it’s an outer layer hiding something

4-2-Go- A small mechanical alien called a Ferrograde. I’ve posted about them before.

Gravelanche- A massive seven-limbed creature that looks like its made of boulders. has a bit of a centaur body plan with the seventh limb as a prehensile tail with a grasping appendage on the end

Doll Face- Basically a creepy talking Mawile.

Ben- the kid with the watch. Constantly looks like he hasn’t slept in a week, but that apparently predates all the alien stuff. Wears a dull green hoodie with a big white X on the front, jeans, and sneakers. Kind of has Omniverse Ben’s hairstyle. The Omnitrix has its original design, but in the dark you can see thin green veins stretching out from it up Ben’s arm and across his hand.

Haven’t figured out concrete designs for Max and Gwen, but their personalities are close to the reboot versions while their abilities(and Max’s backstory) are more like the classic version.

Dr. Animo gets a more prominent role as Ben’s main human villain, though his personality’s largely unchanged.

Kevin’s got yet another change to his powers, this time ending up with Skurd(who in this was Animo’s attempt at making a living Omnitrix replica and is more like a really smart pet than a really annoying person. crucially, he can’t talk.), which allows him to partially transform himself into Ben’s aliens. He shows up after Ben unlocks his 11th alien so he can still call himself Kevin 11.

Dr. Psychobos and Malware show up early, with Psychobos having the same speech pattern as Brainstorm and being a bit more imposing, while Malware has a very different backstory and is actually, legitimately Psychobos’s partner in crime.

In this universe, the Omnitrix actually crashed years ago and when Ben found it on the first day of summer the pod was overgrown and half-buried. Meanwhile Vilgax’s ship went down in Antarctica and he went into emergency cryosleep. His drones activated automatically when the Omnitrix became active, but Vilgax himself was still stuck in stasis until Mojo Jojo of all people found him.

Year 1: Lycidas starts Hogwarts, and in November, his life changed forever...

Year 2: Lycidas' heroic personality starts to develop, and he becomes an adept fighter in his alien forms.

Year 3: Skurd makes his way to Earth and attaches himself to the Omnitrix, as Lycidas tries to find a haircut that works.
