@FloweyFan, uh did you not look at Upgrade and Wildvine's appearance list?

Wildvine appeared in Rustbucket RIP, Ben 24hrs, then 9 episodes later, to the point where he started appearing more.

Upgrade took til Episode 17 to properly debut due to being used by Gwen and a baby version of himself.

Season 1 is 40 episodes long, so Upgrade and Wildvine have been in tons of episodes so far, just not as much as Four Arms and Heatblast considering they've appeared the most in the show so far.

Also let me tally this up guys...

Most used alien in OS: Four Arms

Most used aliens in AF: Humungousaur and Jetray

Most used aliens in UA: Humungousaur and Big Chill

Most used aliens in OV: Diamondhead, XLR8, Four Arms, Feedback and Bloxx

Most used aliens in Reboot: Four Arms and Heatblast

If you notice the appearances patterns it'll sum itself up.

And Crashhopper btw, he's right, he wasn't spammed, its just they shoved most of his appearance all in 7 episodes in a row, after that we only got to see him once in every arc.

It's because of the Khyber and Malware arcs, and Arc 3 of OV we got to see the most of Heatblast, Armodrillo, Spidermonkey, Humungousaur, Crashhopper, Ball Weevil and Stinkfly, after that they made their used and stopped appearing, meanwhile Big Chill stopped right at Arc 5's season premiere.

Rath was also the only alien to be used in every season of OV, since well... it's Omniverse....

The aliens spammed in OS, it was mainly Four Arms. Heatblast only got to appear a lot in S1, then stopped appearing as much, then by the time Season 3 came along they focused on Diamondhead, Cannonbolt, Four Arms and XLR8 for appearances and reused transformations. They were mainly focusing on them during the time being, that and Wildvine, Grey Matter and Upgrade, everyone else just became rare, even the new aliens til S4, which finally gave a focus on the aliens Ben was unlocking.

Also @ the forum itself, the main reason we keep seeing Heatblast, Diamondhead, Four Arms and Cannonbolt in the Reboot, its because since Omniversse those 4 aliens have been the face of Ben 10 because either their species or the aliens have been in every series. They were merchandised for Omniverse and this show.

XLR8 also got focus in this show, because that's how he's being merchandised as right now, he's not as merchandised as the main 4, but its part of why he's been in a lot of stuff recently.

In UAF, they focused Humungousaur and Jetray as episode uses, while for merchandise it was them, Chromastone, Swampfire and Spidermonkey while flip flopping with other aliens. Its just over time in UAF they focused more on Swampfire, Humungousaur, Big Chill and Spidermonkey because they were popular, Jetray and Chromastone were more popular in AF but at some point they became less by the time we went into UA, which is why Big Chill took over Jetray's position in UA, since Jetray stopped getting used before Ultimate Aggregor.

I hope this answered a lot of stuf for what people have been thinking.
