I think its more realistic that since there is so many alien species in Omniverse, to have at least a couple have the same powers. His appearance needs to change, too, though. That's a fair reason; I don't think many of us doubt that (regarding the same powers). However, the writers were clearly being lazy at that point. We were explicitly told by Mr. McDuffie that XLR8 was faster, so why didn't Ben use him instead of Fasttrack? There are also stronger aliens than him, so again, why default to Fasttrack?

Plus, Omniverse gave us very unique transformations with powers we've never seen used before in Ben 10: Elasticity/ Shapeshifting (Bloxx), Gravity control (Gravattack), Hypersonic jumps (Crashhopper), Sticky Plasma balls (Ball Weevil), Fear (Toepick), Internalized Star Power (Astrodactyl), Chemical gas creation (Gutrot). Plus the Predators are all unique on their own.

Argh. 2nd Season of UA. Dark time in the Ben 10 franchise.
