So, a lot of people hate that the Original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix relied on Primus for DNA. And in Omniverse it was confirmed that the DNA is now inside the Omnitrix itself. I came up with a theory on how both could be incorporated, based on art style.

OS/AF: The transformations happen over a green background, we see Ben transform piece by piece, then a flash. Sometimes the green from the flash is still fading off of Ben in alien form afterward. Going by my theory, this would be because the Omnitrix was getting a signal from Primus, radiation was produced. When Ben slams down on the Omnitrix, the green background is actually a force field which appears around Ben to protect the things around him from the signal's radiation. To an outsider, it just looks like a green bubble. At the end of the transformation, the Omnitrix rips the force field at the back and absorbs it.

UA: Most of the time we just see the green flash, sometimes we see an AF-style transformation, but sometimes we see a transformation start without the green background, then transistion to it. EG, Wildmutt's transformation in UA. If my theory serves plausible, this is because the Ultimatrix is meant to have a faster processer but was incomplete, hence the variation in transformation style.

OV: DNA is confirmed to be inside of the Omnitrix itself. Most of the time when Ben transforms, he is able to keep moving or speaking, and anyone around him sees him transform. It happens out in the open, and we just see Ben morph into an alien. This would be because the DNA is directly in the Omnitrix, there's no radiation produced; leading to faster, cleaner transformations.

So, yeah. What do you think?
