Production notes

Talk about multiple personalities.... It's been five years since Ben last used the Omnitrix, but when Grandpa Max disappears, Ben must go hero again! Ben Tennyson was your everyday, average kid until he discovered a mysterious watch hidden in a meteorite that crashed on Earth. He soon learned that the supernatural watch allows him to transform into 10 different alien beings while keeping his kid personality. Now 15 as he again dons the Omnitrix to battle new enemies, he morphs into new alien life forms and discovers different powers and abilities.
