Well, first of all about the whole Ultimate debate, just gonna say that there's a heavy chance that show about a watch that somehow can transform the DNA of the wearer to that of a different lifeform from planets away is most likely unrealistic.

Also, Chromastone and Echo Echo are both silicon-based lifeforms, so in those cases, Ben would literally not be Ben. All of the Carbon would turn into Silicon.

Now, I can see the valed complaints about the Ultimates (and yeah, they weren't perfect, and Ultimate Ben sucked big-time), but I thought they were decent additions. My biggest complaint was that there wasn't more of them. A show called Ultimate Alien only introduced two new ones, and we all saw Ultimate Way Big coming. I think the Ultimates kinda embraced the fact that they weren't original, and just tried to be OP versions of the original. I was ok with that. I'm more interested in the powers and designs of the aliens. The excuse of how the function worked was pretty dumb, but I'm not one to complain about Ult. Humongosaurs's bone gatling guns. And Ult. Echo Echo is still my favorite alien in the franchise.

Besides, the only actually overpowered ulitmate was Ult Echo Echo. The rest weren't especially powerful (besides Way Big, duh).

I agree with everyone that fusions were cool, but it would be better to have less of them than more, or else they would lose their coolness. Maybe anywhere from 10-20 original ones?

And finally, this is personal opinion, but while the first 19 aliens (OS) were pretty cool, I liked AF's set better. I just feel like its set was the most powerful (even without Alien X), and while not every single one was hugely original, they were pretty creative on a general basis. And while there WAS a lot of repetition of powers, I felt a lot of them improved on originals. Swampfire, Big Chill and Echo Echo are prime examples. Really, the only AF alien I never really liked was Spidermonkey.
