It's only been a little over a month since the Ben 10 reboot ended but I've been wondering how long we will have to wait until we learn what's next for Ben. Duncan Rouleau was answering questions on Twitter about whats next back in the fall but I haven't seen anythings since then. Personally, I don't know if we'll hear anything this year about what's next. I could see them not saying anything about Ben 10 until next years upfront. Another possibility I could see is if we get some sort of announcement at comic con later this year. When do you guys think the next series will be announced?

I agree, I just thought this might be something interesting that could kill some time until something gets revealed.

As we all know Cartoon Network has not been great as of late but apparently Regular Show is ending with season 8. This has been confirmed by Mark Hamill's Twitter account and has since been taken down. Cartoon Network is now losing one of its best shows and it doesn't seem like they have anything planned to replace Regular Show.

-- I know this is off-topic but I thought I should let you guys know and would like to hear your opinions on this.

Another question: Would you be fine with a Ben 10 show in the style of Samurai Jack?
Obviously I'm not taking about the reboot, just a new show in general.

Just saw this video, skip to 49 seconds for the funny part if you don't want to rematch the reboot trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW9hmWacUE0

Honestly, I don't care if the reboot continues as long as they have another show around that is true to the original timeline. Right now what they are doing makes no sense, they are only profiting off of one audience when there is a larger, more profitable audience to be had if they made a true Ben 10 show.

@Tactical-Ochoa said in Ben Prime Wasn't In The Reboot By The Ink Tank:

@coreofthesun From what I recall, there were creative differences between Man of Action and Cartoon Network in regards to making a sequel to the Original Series. Cartoon Network eventually decided to have a different team take over the project.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this happens again. From what we know, Man of Action isn't happy with Cartoon Network's vision of the franchise based on comments from Duncan Rouleau. I wouldn't be surprised if CN ends up decided to have another team takeover Ben 10. Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to this. I prefer a more story driven series of Ben 10 and think that the next step for the franchise is a Ben in his 20s that will eventually lead into Ben becoming Ben 10k. I feel like for a show like that, it needs to be story driven, with a serious tone and serious threat.

@Tactical-Ochoa I like them conceptually but I feel like for some of the Ultimate Aliens they could've just been a brand new alien species. I don't see how Ultimate Swampfire and Swampfire are meant to be from the same species. To me that seems like a completely different alien as opposed to an evolution to Swampfire. Even though I like the concept, I can't say I missed Ultimate forms in Omniverse.

@coreofthesun I think it's fine to use the hashtag as long as people are being respectful using it. Unfortunately, some people are spamming it which is not ok in my opinion.

@coreofthesun

With regards to Ben 10 in particular, I wonder whether rerunning the original series, Alien Force, Ultimate Alien and Omniverse would spark the interest of kids because of how different they look in terms of art and feel in terms of tone. Then that could set up a possible Omniverse sequel, Ken 10 series, sequel reboot or whatever. That would not only attract younger kids but please the older fans too.

That's a really interesting point. Any of the former Ben 10 series or honestly any old CN original would really be a completely different look and feel from what's currently on the network. I wonder what the reaction would be from kids seeing shows with very distinctive/unique artsyles.

@coreofthesun Yeah every current CN show looks the same.

I don't know what my favorite episodes would be. It's been so long since I've watched the older shows so I'd probably have to rewatch them before deciding what my favorite episodes are.

@GoodVibes1999 Ok, having the same lines is not that much of a red flag, but look at the design of Diamondhead and compare that to the one from the calendar.

The other designs are believable.

I know, crazy idea, but could the Ben 10 Reboot possibly be the end of Ben 10.
Obviously, this depends on how the show does, but when you think about it what could possibly come after the show:

• a reboot of Alien Force
  -would be strange (would they then give a reboot to every Ben 10 series).
• Ben 10,000
  -kind of weird if we go from Ben as being a 10 year old to Ben being 40, especially since he doesn't have all of his aliens anymore (since the show has been rebooted basically nothing has happened yet)

I honestly wish that they were making a Ben 10,00 show instead of rebooting the franchise. Although, a reboot is better than having no Ben 10. It's just strange that after 230 episodes, 4 movies, and 61 aliens (not including the 8 Ultimate Aliens) they reboot the show. I would understand if the show was off the air for 10 years or something, but it hasn't been off the air for more than a year and a half.

That would be amazing. All you need is Bandai-Namco to develop it.

@Tactical-Ochoa I also agree that there is too much comedy in Omniverse.
Honestly, I thought that the best Ben 10 series were Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, I enjoyed the darker, more serious themes. And I did think that Omniverse was too light and I believe that the same thing will happen to the Reboot. No matter what I will watch the Reboot because its Ben 10 (unless if it turns into Teen Titans Go!).

We already know about Four Arms, Diamondhead, and Cannonbolt; but who else?

Just to recap now we know about Four Arms, Diamondhead, Cannonbolt, Wildvine, Overflow, Stinkfly, Grey Matter, and XLR8.

That is 8/10, so only 2 more aliens left for the original (reboot) 10 to be complete.

Just to recap once again we now know about Four Arms, Diamondhead, Cannonbolt, Wildvine, Overflow, Stinkfly, Grey Matter, Upgrade, Heatblast, and XLR8.

Thanks to @chronosapien234 we now know all 10 of Ben's aliens. Its pretty interesting that Man of Action decided to only have 1/10 aliens be a newcomer. I also wonder why they did not include Ghostfreak, WIldmutt, and Ripjaws as part of the NEW original 10. I understand that there can only be 10, but one has to wonder why was Wildvine and Cannonbolt chosen above the three that I previously mentioned.
