Theme Song[]
Main Article: Theme Song (Ultimate Alien)
The theme song is notable for showing an in-artstyle still of every transformation ever seen in the franchise up to that point, despite some of them not ever appearing in the show. It also shows the five Andromeda aliens and the first six Ultimate Forms.
The first four notes of the theme song would go on to become a motif that represents Ultimate Alien in the franchise.
