Heyo it's ya boy Echoson here. Today I would like to talk about some ideas and predictions I have for season 2 of the reboot. While the reboot is not known for having the most in-depth plot in the world, it does hint on some possibilities in the future with some subtle foreshadowing, which I will get into a bit later..

I would like to start off with the Weatherheads, a group of space robots composing of Gust-O, Shock-O and Hail-O who each have a storm-related power. These three set up an tower to make the weather stormy for some reason, kinda similar to the Highbreed tower from Alien Force that was capable of making the weather cold and snowy. It is currently unknown why these three wanted to change the weather in the first place, as they were sent back to space before they explained anything. I believe there is some sort of alien that is only able to come during stormy weathers, could it be something similar to the DNAliens that could not survive under the sun? These guys are very mysterious in origin, as they are advance enough in technology to show emotion, even though they try to conceal it. Whoever created these guys, obviously wants them to focus on the job.

The zoom up to space in the end of the episode also foreshadows that a big bad is coming, like Vilgax. It also hints that the gang is going to space eventually, which is what season 2 is probably going to focus on, as shown in the toy fair.

In the Playmates toy fair, we get a look at a wave of figures that is set to release in 2018 for season 2, which showcases Ben's aliens in alien vehciles, a homeplanet playset and armored versions of Wildvine and Diamondhead (which is kinda like the Ultimates for these series, as it changes their looks and abilities a bit). The vehicles could just be something Playmates made just for the toyline, like Bandai. But I believe that the space suit versions of the aliens and the armored aliens are going to be something used in the show, which supports the theory of them heading to space, and possibly, to different alien planets.

Now for Ben's fear of octopi and squids that is introduced in the reboot. This isn't added just for comedy reasons, I strongly believe that they wlll use this fear against Ben once they introduce Vilgax, who is confirmed to appear in the series thanks to Playmates. I am personally glad that they will use a fear that Ben have as an enemy, unlike Omniverse which said that Ben is afraid of peacocks but never did anything with the concept.

Now for a different plot for season 2 that I came up is that Ben and gang will have to team up with kids that they met in their travels eventually, you know, Iron Kyle, Simon and Cooper Potter (Oliver). Similar to Alien Force, Ben will recruit these kids and eventually team up with them to fight against a bigger threat, who could be Vilgax. Just look at their powers, one is a genius wrestler, another has a robot backpack and the last one has magic wand, these are not concepts that you would leave behind. Plus, this line by Ben in Adventures in Babysitting supports this theory:

Ben: “Simon’s a great kid, he might be a great ally someday”

And with all the villains that they introduce in the reboot, I wouldn't be surprised be surprised if they make their own version of the Negative 10, they could dedicate a 20 minute special just for this.

Seeing how the reboot likes to redo episodes of the original series, like “Dr. Animo and the Mutant Ray” or “Ready to Rumble”, it wouldn’t be that surprising if they redid “The Negative 10” with some of the bigger threats Ben has to deal with in the reboot, like Hex or Steam Smythe.

And that's my speculation and theories on what season 2 has in store for the reboot. Let me know your ideas and what you think of this theory below.
