Andreas is a Talpaedan from the desert planet Poiana Lüncas.[note 1] He is one of the five Andromeda aliens who were captured by Aggregor and is the DNA source for Armodrillo.
Appearance[]
Andreas looks exactly like Armodrillo in Ultimate Alien except he has white eyes instead of green and lacks the Ultimatrix symbol.
Personality[]
Andreas is reckless, as well as oblivious, proven when he repeatedly attempted to wreck a spaceship while still inside it, even though on one occasion he was under the influence of Aggregor's power neutralizing device. Andreas is a little more gullible than hardheaded as he tends to make attachments to pretty much anyone whom he thinks is nice or is the strongest (this was proven when he blindly followed P'Andor who had over-powered Bivalvan and took charge). Andreas has shown himself to be a gentle giant, getting easily scared and thinks most people are his friends. He is also seen being friendly with Argit.
History[]
Prior to Ultimate Alien[]
Andreas first appeared in a flashback in Escape From Aggregor. He was one of the five aliens kidnapped by Aggregor and imprisoned on his starship along with Bivalvan, Ra'ad, P'Andor and Galapagus.
Ultimate Alien[]
He appeared in Andreas' Fault, as he was used by Argit to control the Forever Knights. After the knights overthrew Argit, they attempted to murder Andreas, but they were stopped by Ben and the others. During the battle, a vibrational weapon the knights used for executions was damaged and became a seismic bomb capable of wiping out everything within a five-mile radius. Andreas countered the vibrations released from the device as the Forever Knights' castle collapsed around him. Ben, Gwen and Kevin believed that he had perished, but at the end of the episode, Aggregor found him alive beneath the wreckage and teleported him back onto his ship and put him in a stasis pod along with Bivalvan, P'Andor and Galapagus.
Andreas' "death" from the earlier episode was proven false to the team in Ultimate Aggregor. Andreas and the others were forced to fight Ben and his team by Aggregor, and he presumably died when Aggregor absorbed the five Andromeda galaxy aliens.
As of the end of Absolute Power: Part 2, Andreas, along with the other Andromeda Galaxy aliens, are revived after Kevin was turned back to normal.
Powers and Abilities[]
Andreas has incredible digging capabilities thanks to his jackhammer arms, and can transform his hands into drills to help himself burrow underground and move through it. Andreas can even dig through solid rock.[1] His drill hands can also be very useful in battle, as seen when Armodrillo fought Slamworm,[2] and can also cause a lot of pain to a Galilean.[3]
Andreas can create enough vibrations to collapse buildings into rubble, as demonstrated when he destroyed a Forever Knight castle.[4]
Using his jackhammer arms, Andreas can propel himself very high into the air by punching the ground, as seen when Armodrillo avoided getting rammed by Crabdozer.[5]
Andreas can create destructive earthquakes by placing his hands on the ground and pumping the jackhammer pistons on his olecranons.[6] Andreas also has the capability to cause a magnitude 10 earthquake depending on where he tries it, such as fault lines on tectonic plates.[DR 1]
Andreas is able to create fissures in the ground.[7]
Andreas possesses enhanced strength, as Armodrillo was able to destroy ten robots from Dimension 12,[8] lift up a Mucilator,[9] and hold his own against Trombipulor.[10]
Using his jackhammer arms and rockets in his pistons, Andreas can create shock waves to blast away larger enemies with a single punch[2] and launch objects he is holding.[11]
Andreas possesses enhanced durability, courtesy of his armor. He is durable enough to withstand attacks from many powerful opponents, as well as being thrown through walls and other solid surfaces.
Andreas is immune to neuroshock blasts.[4]
Andreas is capable of spinning his drills so fast to move the air around it in high enough speeds to act like blender blades that are strong enough to destroy an entire tree.[12]
Andreas can extend his hands by pushing in the pistons on his arms.[11]
In a similar way to Geochelone Aerios, Andreas can retract his fingers, leaving only a spheroid hand in place.[1] This has been used by Aggregor to punch enemies.[13]
Weaknesses[]
Certain weapons can cause Andreas' nervous system to go out of control and make him unable to stop vibrating his arms.[14] He can also have a hard time controlling his jackhammers if he is scared.[4]
Being a Talpaedan, Andreas is at a massive disadvantage against a Slammoid due to them being able to easily dig him out of the ground.[9][5][2]
Andreas is weak against electricity.[14]
Andreas can be rendered unconscious if he is hit by a quill from a member of Argit's species.[4]
Andreas can be suffocated if a large amount of matter covers his whole body and compresses it enough.[15]
Andreas cannot cause an earthquake on surfaces such as bedrock.[DR 1]

Notes[]
- ↑ Poiana Lüncas was revealed to be Armodrillo's, and by extension, Andreas', home planet in the fifty-third issue of the Cartoon Network Action Pack series, released on December 1, 2010.[AP 1] Despite this, on April 14, 2011, a user named Reece Philippe Villamonte edited Armodrillo's page, claiming that Terraexcava was his home planet. The page for Terraexcava would later be created on April 30, 2011 by another user named Sillifactu, citing Bandai's website and fan site Ben10Toys.net as sources. Archived pages from the Bandai site do not seem to have any information regarding Armodrillo's home planet. Thus, Poiana Lüncas is the true name of Andreas' home planet.[BTP 1]
