Interestingly, ''Hero Generation'' was the original working name for '''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Alien Force]]'''. It takes place 5 years after the original Sumo Slammers series (just like '''Alien Force''' takes place after 5 years), with the villain from the original series teams up with the Hero, a reference to [[Kevin Levin (Classic)|Kevin]] joining up with Ben in '''Alien Force'''. Ben even references how '''Alien Force''' wasn't as popular as the original, by saying that ''Hero Generation'' was all messed up and whatnot. When Kevin expresses disgust towards the show, Ben says it is not as good as Sumo Slammers classic, a reference to '''[[Ben 10]]'''.
