This included aliens from previous series, impossibiliting Spitter, Fasttrack, Jetray and Chamalien from appearing again.

Eventually, the executives said there were too many alien transformations, so Whampire is the last new alien the show was going to introduce.

Derrick hoped to eventually use the respirator on the design, but it never came to pass.

Derrick designed Vilgax with the respirator he had back in the Original Series, but executives discarded it because they wanted the character to emote more clearly.

Gwen and Kevin's 'college' redesign was the only redesign they were going to get, but executives wanted them to look more similar to their Alien Force / Ultimate Alien designs for their first appearance, so they received 'transition' designs for the first episode.

Derrick Wyatt says that the tone being closer to that of the Original Series was an executive mandate due to the fact that, globally, the Original Series apparently does the best ratings-wise.

Development Gag: Swampfire's new form bears resemblance to some of his original concept art.

Played straight with professor Xagliv, who's voiced by Steve Blum.It is played straight from 'For A Few Brains More' onward. Cross-Dressing Voices: In Pesky Dust's first appearance ('Outbreak'), this was averted.Wyatt also found Ultimate Ben to be a lame idea, which is likely why he wanted the future in this installment to be the same as the future from the Orignal Series. Fasttrack is one of the few aliens featured in Ultimate Alien to not make an appearance in Omniverse, not even as a cameo in 'A New Dawn', which featured a cameo from nearly every other alien. Wyatt has stated that he finds Fasttrack to be the lamest of Ben's aliens due to being too similar to XLR8 and looking too human. Wyatt came to dislike his experience working on the show due to both how the network screwed the show over and the widely divided reception among fans that eclipsed of previous installments. Come 'It Was Them', Rook refers to him as 'Aloysius James Animo'. Ascended Fanon: It was a common idea amongst fans that Dr.CN proper was less interested and eventually screwed it over. They've even aired new episodes before Cartoon Network did. Adored by the Network: An odd example, since Boomerang, Cartoon Network's vault channel, has slotted it in an early-evening daily slot, with extra slots on weekends.
