I've just had a look at leaked images of all ten of the aliens Ben will be starting off with.

And you are free to either agree or disagree with one or all of the opinions listed below. If you want to see for yourself what they look like, here are some urls images below.

Now that you had a good look at the new look for Ben's aliens, allow me to share my honest opinions with you.

Cannonbolt To me he looks pretty much the same, despite the fact that his eyes now border the black part of his body, his yellow armor is shinier, and that he now has black gloves and socks. Not to mention his claws are now white.

Diamondhead I actually think his new design is pretty cool, even though his arms are a bit boxy. The boots are a nice touch and so is the extra spike on his head. I really wasn't expecting his suit to have a yellow pattern.

Four Arms It feels nostalgic to design him after his original design, but in my opinion his muscles now look more like pillows. It baffles me even more the fact that his gloves aren't fingerless. I don't know what to say about the feet because Ben was in front of them in the leaked image.

Grey Matter His design is like a combination of the original series and Omniverse, but to me he looks less athletic. I'm saying this because they decided to make him stubbier and fatter. Power blue markings on his skin and orange eyes were also unexpecting.

Heatblast I like the fact that they decided to make him more colorful, binging back the original coloring of his rocks and adding more yellowish orange to his flames. Except, the flames look less realistic. Then again, I have yet to see w they animate the flames. It makes sense that there is more exposed magma on his forearms. And the thinner cracks of magma on his skin make his body look more like molten rocks.

Overflow Here's where things start getting serious. This is me before I saw the image: "OMG! A new alien is confirmed!" And this is my reaction after realizing it was Water Hazard renamed: "... WwhhaaaaAAT?!" Not only did they change his name, but they made him look less like a crab and more like a guy in a suit that replaced his hands with water guns. I believe I should also mention that these water guns have HANDLES! Why handles?! Are his arms suppose to be removable or something just so he could hold one with his other arm? And why are there ear-like bulbs on his head? And according to his description he can control water and even turn into water. W... What? Don't get me wrong. That's a cool power, but still.

Stinkfly Believe me when I say this. When I saw a silhouette of him on a promotional image, I thought it was Big Chill! Once I realized it was Stinkfly, I flipped. He looks like a completely different alien! Just read these traits: Humanoid body, two arms, two legs, blue skin, dark blue stripes, pwder blue underbelly, red wings, no tail, and bug eyes. Yes. They replaced his iconic eye stalks with bug eyes. As in the eyes you find on a moth or bee. But his description states that he can still fire goo from his eyes, along with the addition of gasses, but so can his MOUTH?! He's not suppose to be Upchuck! At least his bioluminescence is cool.

Upgrade I like the way the remolded his body. And the additional circles in his wire patterns are a nice touch. But why is he purple? Am I looking at the new Ben's Upgrade or am I looking at Benzarro's? You know what, its a good way to move past the constant green in Ben's aliens.

Wildvine I like what they did with the design. Sure his crest has turned into a leaf and his hands don't have claws, but the way they made the torso is so cool. And under that th- Wait... What happened to his tentacles? You know, the tentacles that put the "vine" in "Wildvine"? Wait, are those... LEGS?!?! They seriously made Wildvine seem like Ariel!

XLR8 Ok, back to designs that DIDN'T ruin the alien. I find it cool that they only gave XLR8 two claws on each hand. If that's not homage to a T. rex, don't know what is. Also, the blue stripe on his bodysuit is a great way to show he's ready for a fresh start. And the fins on his back fit so well.

And that concludes my opinion on the redesign on Ben's aliens. And yes, I would forgive Wa- -ahem-Overflow, Stinkfly, and Wildvine if their new designs were used instead to make new and original aliens and that there was more homage to their appearances (and names) in the original timeline. And before people say that the leaks are fake, you might be right. Considering there are about seven months between us and the reboot, changes might be made and we would eventually get an official look at what the reboot has to offer.
