I've always been a fan of setting the clock back on Ben. Maybe destroy his current Omnitrix (since Primus isn't in continuity no more) and get a new one with 10 aliens. Do that road trip series where he scans some of his back.

What makes fight scenes engaging and a character more believable is his limits. If you have a fully functional Alien X, what's the point anymore? If Ben has a limit on his aliens and if they were balanced, then you have an interesting story, character and fights. Because you get the sense that he can lose and doesn't have to lose low-level fights for dumb reasons. Like, have you ever noticed how Ben has the option to switch to another alien (that he wants) while he's an alien but doesn't seem to do it when it's most important? He has mis-transformations but doesn't do that.

You can easily explain it like "Oh, the battery will drain" but they don't do that. Anyway, keeping Ben limited is better for everything overall. Maybe not toy sales but hey, I don't work at Cartoon Network (yet). I'm just a fan of the possibilites with this franchise and an aspiring writer who knows how these things work in terms of story.
