Ben 10: Alien Force
Encyclopedia
When it recalibrated it gained a more watch-like shape, a green wristband, became smaller and sleeker, and the face dial became black and green. The inside of the hourglass shape glows in different colors at special moments; these colors signify the state that the Omnitrix is presently in. Occasionally, the Omnitrix's safeguard mode initiates and randomly transforms Ben into another alien that he did not choose.
The reason Azmuth invents Omnitrix is so that every beings in the universe have better understanding at each other. But in Ben 10: Alien Force, Azmuth reveals that the Omnitrix was invented to preserve every being in the Milky Way Galaxy and restore them should they become extinct like Ark of Noah, and Ben being Noah.
Recalibration Mode
The Omnitrix begins transforming whilst selecting an array of new alien forms. The Omnitrix makes a beep-like noise and flashed a blue light, then it changes to a glowing black and green and finally morphs into its more watch-shaped form. This can happen as vice-versa as shown in "Vengeance of Vilgax" when the watch turns from its new form into its original form, what triggered the Recalibration Mode is unknown, Dwayne McDuffie said it recalibrated due to Ben's maturity.
The display mode of the black silhouette of the desired alien were replaced by a dark green hologram, Dwayne McDuffie confirmed that by changing the settings on the Omnitrix, either display can be used in either one of the Omnitrix's forms.
The abilities of his old aliens were recognized by the Omnitrix and therefore "upgraded" as well, bringing 10 new aliens with the same abilities as the old aliens such as Swampfire, for example, replacing Wildvine and Heatblast, this feature of the Omnitrix was first seen in "Ben 10 Returns Part 1", while it rescans Ben it turns a darkish blue color; Ben said "it never did that before". Also, during the transformation, all information of the alien is might dumped into the user's mind.
Active Mode
After the Omnitrix was recalibrated, the symbols on the aliens were also of the same color, and located on their chests (Dwayne McDuffie said this was because it means the Omnitrix was working properly).
It was revealed that the Omnitrix's main function is that it acts as a wireless receiver for the Codon Stream, Azmuth's DNA database on Primus. By accessing the Codon Stream, the Omnitrix rewrites the wearer's DNA on a quantum level and transforms them into one of the 1,000,913 (Originally 1,000,903 but Ben added more, Eon was added by himself and even though Eon said the Omnitrix doesn't have his DNA it does, as confirmed by Dwayne McDuffie) species in the Codon Stream (excluding the wearer's species). In order for the host to change size, matter is created from energy or reconstituted to energy as needed.
Also as revealed by Azmuth in "Primus", the Omnitrix does not actually contain any DNA sample, it simply acts as a wireless
device, connecting itself to the artificial planet Primus, where Azmuth has gathered the DNA of almost all the sentient species of the galaxy in the Codon Stream. When activated, the Omnitrix accesses the Codon Stream's information and applies it to the host, without Primus, the Omnitrix would be completely useless.
Plumber's Badge use
The Omnitrix is Ben's Plumber's Badge; this was reveled in Ben 10: Alien Force, it has the same way to use as a normal Plumber Badge:
Healing Mode
The Omnitrix is able to restore the DNA of DNAliens, but it is unknown if it is able to restore the DNA of humans or any other alien species. It is also unknown if this function is to eliminate the foreign DNA from a being and if it can change hybrids such as Manny, Helen and Pierce back to their human forms.
In "War of the Worlds: Part 2", the Omnitrix showed to be able to genetically manipulate alien DNA or reprogram the species' DNA (in this case, fuse DNA from different species of aliens).
Time Out Mode
The recalibrated Omnitrix does not do this; instead, it simply revert the transformation without a warning given because this feature was accidentally switched off when the Omnitrix recalibrated. In "War of the Worlds Part 2", the Omnitrix had reset, also turning the time out warning function back on. The hourglass, when recharging, also flashes red instead of remaining a solid red as it had when the Omnitrix was in its original configuration. In "Ben 10: Alien Force The Video Game", when the Omnitrix was out of power it beeped differently than in the original series, from "The Secret of Chromastone" and so on, the Omnitrix flashes green instead of red when signaling a time out.
Capture Mode
When a new DNA sample has been unlocked from the Codon Stream for future use (it identifies the DNA against the database on Primus, then unlocks that code on the Omnitrix), or when the Omnitrix actually captures new DNA that is not already present in the Codon Stream.
It can also reclaim lost alien forms that may have escaped the Omnitrix absorbing lost alien forms can be done in two ways: when transformed into an alien, the Omnitrix flashes a yellow light and absorbs the alien; or when the Omnitrix is inactive, it sends some radar waves and then reabsorbs the alien. Unlike in the original series, if an alien touches the Omnitrix in Ben 10: Alien Force it will not be captured because it doesn't work the same way after it recalibrated.
Self-Destruction Mode
It was used when Ben wanted to take back the Omnitrix from Vilgax, but it didn't work; despite that the S.D.M was used and successfully triggered in, it only destroyed the Omnitrix rather than the universe, though this is because it only charged for 30 seconds, it might because the S.D.M was intentional.
The voice-activated self-destruct sequence is the same code from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
that James T. Kirk
used to activate the Enterprise's one minute self-destruct sequence (000 destruct-0).

used to activate the Enterprise's one minute self-destruct sequence (000 destruct-0).
Others Features
- It functions as a GPS;
- In the original series, the Omnitrix could adapt the clothing of the wearer to suit the selected alien form. Ben lost this function in Ben 10: Alien Force because the Omnitrix recalibrated. Now, nanomachines break them down and store them until his transformation ends;
- The Omnitrix also alters its shape and size to accommodate the wearer's size;
- When the user is transformed, a button with the Omnitrix symbol on it appears on the chest which can be used to switch to another form while already transformed into a specific alien, the symbol is actually the Omnitrix itself, appearing in this form because many species don't have wrists;
- When the Omnitrix is locked to a certain set of aliens, new aliens can be unlocked in mid-transformation rough contact with a member of that species. This simply unlocks the DNA in the Codon Stream, although the Omnitrix also has the capability to capture new DNA;
- The Omnitrix can show a database image of all aliens available at the time, or show a database image of aliens that escaped the Omnitrix. The images of the aliens in the Omnitrix are shown in green, while the escaped ones are shown in black;
- There is a particular method used to safely remove the Omnitrix, that could be how he removed it between the two series. It involves a code that the wearer of the Omnitrix uses with voice activation (Decouple Omnitrix Command Code: 000 Release Coupling 0). Ben may have known this code as he may have remembered it if he used the code to take off the Omnitrix after he was done with it at the end of Ben 10;
- When suffering from electromagnetic interference, the Omnitrix can cause unintentional transformations, and the Omnitrix will be unable to deactivate until the source of the interference is gone. This is how the Tiffin was unintentionally sending signals that caused the Omnitrix to malfunction, turning Ben into Rath. It also can work in reverse, rapidly changing the user from one form to another until it times out. This happened in "Secrets";
- When in danger, Primus can send a distress call to the Omnitrix, which teleports itself to Primus with its host in order to protect the planet;
- As revealed in "Vengeance of Vilgax", if the Omnitrix is hacked, some of the stored species may escape the Codon Stream. The escaped aliens are practically mindless and function on instinct, roaming with no stable conscience or fixed motives. If the aliens are not returned to the Omnitrix within 24 hours, they will die out and be permanently lost to the Omnitrix;
- The new Omnitrix also develop a voice command, and his voice is identical to Ben's voice;
