Greetings from Techadon

Greetings From Techadon is the thirty fifth episode of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien and the third episode in the third season.

Plot
In Bellwood, a massive rectangular object crash lands in the middle of town, from it emerges a yellow Techadon Robot. Meanwhile at a local Mini-Golf course Ben, Gwen, Kevin, and Julie are playing an even game of Miniature Golf. Ben casually uses Brainstorm to calculate a series of complex equations and easily uses them to score a hole in one, causing Julie to demand a immediate rematch.

However, the Techadon from earlier arrives and attacks the group, remembering his first victory against the Techadons Ben transforms into Goop. However this time he has far more difficulty with battling this one, forcing Kevin to spear the Techadon with a model of Tokyo tower from the Miniature Golf course. Kevin salvages the Techadon's black box with the intent of figuring out who sent it before selling it on the open market.

After Ben and Gwen drop Julie off, they go to the Mr. Smoothie for drinks, and Gwen comments on how everything seems to come so easily to Ben. Gwen believes that despite how he acts, Ben does take things seriously and only makes what he does look easy. Kevin arrives with bad news, the Techadon was custom made by the Weapon Masters of Techadon themselves specifically to fight Ben.

Now the others they fight design's will take into account Ben's past battles with them and they won't stop coming after him until he's dead. At this a new grey Techadon arrives, and Goop is rendered useless against it by the past battle. Instead Ben fights it using Rath and eventually defeats the Techadon at the cost of the Mr. Smoothie. Gwen decides to hunt down the one who put the hit out on Ben while Kevin and Ben locates the mobile factory from which the Techadons were spawning, which crashed landed at the beginning of the episode.

Based on how Kevin stated that the Techadon job would cost a fortune she hunts down Vulkanus, the richest alien Ben has ever fought. Vulkanus admits to being the one who contracted the Techadons and states that he can't retract the bounty even if he wanted to. Argit arrives and tells Vulkanus that while he is celebrating his early victory he's missing out on Ben's destruction, at this Vulkanus leaves to watch "the show" while Gwen pays Argit for his help.

After Kevin and Ben track down the factory, they discover that it's industructable and that Ben can't phase into it as Big Chill, nor can Kevin absorb it. A third Techadon is then created from the factory and proceeds to fight Ben and Kevin. Ben switches to Ultimate Big Chill to rescue civilians and lures away the Techadon from the crowded city streets. Once in a safe area to fight Ben Switches to Echo Echo and later Ultimate Echo Echo to fight the Techadon, but can only keep it at bay.

Vulkanus arrives on scene and watches as the Techadon easily pummels Echo Echo. Ben later asks Kevin how the Techadon is tracking him and he states that they work visually. At this Ben realizes that it's tracking the Ultimatrix and Ben switches back to human form and hides it using his jacket. Not able to find the Ultimatrix the Techadon begins looking around for it.

As a joke Kevin plants his old ID Mask on Vulkanus' back and sets it to mimic the Ultimatrix symbol thus causing it to attack him instead. With the Techadon Issue resolved, the team decides to get Julie and play her in a rematch in Mini-golf.
