The Omnitrix Key is a key that upgrades the Omnitrix.

Appearance

The Omnitrix Key is a white and black colored key with a grey end, which glows green when ready to be used.

Usage

The User must insert the Omnitrix Key into the Omnitrix to upgrade the Omnitrix. Ben originally inserted the key incorrectly, which only unlocked the Omni-Kix Armors, designed for tech.

After Phil re-inserted the key in its proper position, it unlocked the Omni-Naut Armors, designed for space travel, in addition to the previous upgrade.

When Vilgax stole the key and inserted it into the Antitrix, it unlocked Celestialsapien DNA and allowed him to transform into Alien V, even without the Antitrix on him. The key is currently inside the Antitrix.

Appearance

Ben 10

Season 4

• Summer Breakers (first appearance)
• Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie

Trivia

• The Omnitrix Key unlocking Celestialsapien DNA in the Antitrix is a reference to the Ultimatrix Security Keys unlocking Alien X in the Ultimatrix.
• When Ben and Gwen are speculating about what the Omnitrix Key might be in Summer Breakers, they foreshadow several key gimmicks and other details that are eventually proven true:
  • Firstly, Gwen guesses that the key "unlocks new aliens". In Ben 10 Versus the Universe, Vilgax uses the key to unlock Celestialsapien DNA for the Antitrix.
  • Secondly, Gwen also guesses that the key "enhance [Ben's] aliens like before". This is both a foreshadow of the Omni-Kix Armors and an allusion to the Omni-Enhanced Forms from season 2.
  • Lastly, Ben guesses that with the key, he will "shapeshift into a rocket and launch [himself] up into space". While the context of this statement may seem off, this actually foreshadows the Omni-Naut Armors.
