maybe at first the Omnitrix had it's own DNA, but that data was destroyed when Ben used it to cure the highbred due to a glitch, after which it needed to connect with Primus (which acted as a backup system). when the new Omntrix was created, it fixed the bug, thus meaning the Omnitrix could store data again, thus rendering Primus Obsolete....best excuse for how to fix that continuity error I can think of.
