And do not forget that the Vladats are the predatory species of Transylians, that alone makes them more powerful than Transylians. But thats just it, they were the Transylian's predatory species until the Transylians incorporated technology into their powers. And after that, they're a completely different species. Based on teh fact that Vladats feed off of energy, and that their main food source were Transylians, that implies that the Transylians had a surplus of the type of energy the Vladats fed off of, ie the electrical powers of the Transylians. So that means that while the Transylians were in Vladat control, they already had at least some connection with electricity. But not yet their technological skills and control. The Transylians are the third smartest species in the galaxy, only after the Galvins and Cerebrocrustaceans. So their technology could only possibly have orginated with their advanced intelligence. Thus, they were not yet super intelligent as a species while they were enslaved by the Vladats, and now that they are, anything goes.

Transylians have the unique ability of being able to integrate themselves with tech. So through that, what if you had a Transylian equipped with an upgraded Tachyon Cannon? The Transylians have the intelligence to invent incredibly powerful weapons, and the capability to absorb it into themselves.

But we already know that they didn't have those abilities while they were enslaved by the Vladats. So THEIR MOST POWERFUL ABILITY they did not have while enslaved. And once they gained that ability, they were able to free themselves.

Transylians are also incredibly powerful, just through comparison to Ben's other Aliens. A Transylian has the super strength of Four Arms, the electrical powers of Buzzshock, the tech manipulation and upgrading of Upgrade, the magnetic abilities of Lodestar, intelligence near to that of Grey Matter and Brainstorm, as well as his own unique powers, such as teleportation (with the right equipment). They even are direct upgrades of Shocksquatch and the Gimlinopithecus. Transylians have all the abilities of Shocksquatch (super strength and electrical generation), but then Transylians have a host of otehr pwoers to boot.

I still maintain that Vladats are stronger than Transylians, but still don't underestimate the pwoer of Transylians.
