“	I am Azmuth, creator of the Omnitrix, sculptor of worlds, smartest being in five galaxies!	”
– Azmuth.[2]

Azmuth is the creator of numerous inventions, most notably the Omnitrix. He is a Galvan from the planet Galvan Prime. Azmuth's scientific creations and achievements have made him a very respected scientist throughout the universe.

Appearance

Regular Appearances

Azmuth is an elderly Galvan. He resembles an anthropomorphic grey frog, with gills and sticky skin. He has bulbous green eyes with rectangular black pupils and eyelids that open and close horizontally. Four thin tendrils grow out of his lower jaw, while two longer ones grow out of his upper jaw, giving him the appearance of having a beard.

In the flashbacks in Solitary Alignment, the tendrils on his upper jaw were shorter and he only had two tendrils growing out of his lower jaw. He also wore a shorter tunic that stopped at his legs.

In the Original Series, Azmuth wore a dark green jumpsuit, with a lighter green hourglass symbol on his chest. Bronze colored platings covered the base of his neck, shoulders and wrists. A belt of the same color surrounded his waist and he had yellowish-green eyes.

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Azmuth wore a green Galvan tunic with black sleeves and a black stripe running down his chest and abdomen with a black belt surrounding his waist. The platings were colored silver and covered more of his neck, shoulders and wrists, as well as his legs and feet, leaving his toes exposed. His eyes were light green and also appeared smaller, as if squinting in a human manner.

In Omniverse, Azmuth now possesses two additional tendrils on each side of his head, as well as two liver spots on the right side of his face and two more above his right eye. The skin around his eyes is now colored black, his facial tendrils and neck are slightly longer and the black belt around his waist is replaced by silver plating.

Occasional Appearances

In Primus, Azmuth briefly wore the Omnitrix around his body.

In a flashback in Trouble Helix, as well as The Frogs of War: Part 2, Azmuth wore a green spacesuit.

In For a Few Brains More, Azmuth temporarily wore Gwen's glasses.

Personality

In the Original Series, Azmuth was very paranoid, as evidenced by the amount of work he put into hiding his home from the rest of the universe. He was a bit impolite. He originally refused to repair the Omnitrix and was willing to let the universe get destroyed.^[3]

Azmuth was also very pessimistic, unwilling to shut down the Omnitrix's self-destruct at first, even though it would have caused the destruction of the universe. The reason why is that he simply didn't think the universe was worth saving. The reason he invented the Omnitrix was so the beings of the universe would have a better understanding of each other, but those like Vilgax only wanted to use it as a weapon of war.^[3]

As of Alien Force, Azmuth has become less pessimistic and more serious, showing a no-nonsense personality. This was especially apparent when dealing with a disaster of intergalactic proportions, or when the universe or galaxy is being threatened.^[9][4][10] He is also concerned about the safety of the universe and his planet, Galvan Prime. This was seen when he got angry at Ben for losing the Omnitrix to "the most dangerous being in the universe",^[11] as well as not being able to retrieve the pieces of the Map of Infinity.^[12] He also spent considerable time mixing into the Galvan society as well as developing the complete defense system of Galvan Mark II.^[6]

As of Omniverse, Azmuth is more level-headed, as he appears to be more confident and is slightly more lenient than before. He also seems to have developed a slight sense of humor, as he reset Albedo's Ultimatrix to permanently lock his default form to be an 11-year-old version of Ben.^[13]

Without his primary brain, Azmuth was prone to infantile behavior such as randomly pressing buttons, burping, and blowing raspberries, and incessant talking (notably speaking simply gibberish in many scenes), though he could still occasionally talk in a cohesive manner.^[13]

History

Background

As a tadpole, Azmuth achieved a perfect score on his G.A.T.s, an early display of his genius intellect. showing his before he became the First Thinker.^[6]

In his youth, Azmuth enjoyed a relationship with a female Galvan named Zennith, and while on a date with her, witnessed a planetary alignment. The sight inspired Azmuth to create a powerful sword, which brought his romance with Zennith to an end as she disapproved of his creation. Later realizing for himself the dangers of the sword, Azmuth began to dedicate himself to peaceful science, eventually creating the Omnitrix, hoping to create a means for the races of the galaxy to live in harmony. He used the Omnitrix's Collect Mode to gather the DNA of thousands of species over hundreds of years.^{[pop-up 1][14]} He also hoped that it might redeem him in Zennith's eyes.^[2]

In Trouble Helix, Azmuth appeared in a flashback, where it was revealed that he was involved in Galvan B's transformation and the creation of the Galvanic Mechamorphs.

In Blukic and Driba Go to Area 51, Azmuth appeared in a flashback, having created the Galvanian Skeuomorph to destroy B.L.R.R.T..

Azmuth had observed all of Ben's activities through secret devices on the Omnitrix well before he met him.^{[pop-up 2][3][pop-up 3][DVD 1]}

Ben 10

In Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix, Azmuth was found in his lab on Xenon by Cannonbolt, Tetrax, and Myaxx, where he was eventually convinced to turn off the Omnitrix's self-destruct. He also unlocked Way Big so Ben could defeat Vilgax. Azmuth modified one of Vilgax's Mechadroid's heads to leave Xenon in it, taking Myaxx with him. When Ben asked Azmuth if he wished to take back the Omnitrix since it was his creation, Azmuth refused to take it back and let Ben keep it because he considered it trouble.

After meeting Ben, Azmuth decided to become more involved and eventually connected with the space-based Plumbers.^{[pop-up 4][3]}

Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens revealed that Azmuth, inspired by Ben's obvious concern for his family, decided to reunite with his own after a long absence. After detecting a strange signal coming from the Omnitrix (caused by Gwen casting a dismantling spell on Upgrade), he contacted Tetrax and arranged to meet the Petrosapien on Earth. Traveling to Earth using his Mechadroid-head ship, Azmuth disguised it as a semi-truck and headed for his rendezvous with Tetrax. He was then contacted by his concerned father, who watched as a strange light coming from the malfunctioning Omnitrix shone over Azmuth and his ship crashed.

When a malevolent looking To'kustar appeared on the video feed following Azmuth's disappearance, his father came to believe that Azmuth had perished at the hands of the giant alien. Donning the Mechamorph Armor created by Azmuth, his father traveled to Earth, where he ran into Ben. At first unaware that Ben was transforming between different alien forms, unable to revert to human due to Tetrax activating a feature of the Omnitrix. He demanded to know the whereabouts of the To'kustar. Ben had fought the giant alien only for it to disappear. They would later discover that the being had been downloaded into the Omnitrix.

Following the To'kustar's escape from the Omnitrix, the Tennyson family realized that the giant being was Azmuth himself, mutated by the malfunctioning device and so disturbed by the change that he was unable to recognize his own father or friends. Eventually, they brought him out of it, and Azmuth used the Mechamorph armor to repair the Omnitrix and revert himself back into his normal Galvan form. Azmuth's father then revealed his own Galvan form, which was younger than that of his son. This was due to Azmuth transferring his father's mind into a clone body.^{[DJW 1]}

Father and son forgave each other for their misdeeds, with Azmuth confessing that he should have warned his father about the armor's tendency to increase aggression. Azmuth also helped restore Ben's parents, who had likewise been transformed into aliens, to normal. He commented on the Omnitrix's malfunction being caused by a manna overload, confusing Gwen, who was ignorant at the time about her Anodite lineage. Azmuth and his father then returned home.

Five Years Prior to Omniverse

In a flashback in Trouble Helix, Azmuth was working on a second Helix with Albedo, when Max came in, asking him to fix the malfunctioning Omnitrix, to which he refused. XLR8 came in and broke one of Azmuth's machines, prompting him to fix the malfunction. Azmuth later revealed his hand in the creation of the Galvanic Mechamorphs through his experiment called the Helix, in the intent of making Galvan B habitable. He also revealed he had been working for many years on trying to heal Malware, a Galvanic Mechamorph whose life code was corrupted and incomplete.

In a flashback in Showdown: Part 1, Azmuth warned Ben to not overuse Feedback, but Ben did not heed his warning and Feedback was lost from the Omnitrix after a battle with Malware.

During a flashback in Showdown: Part 2, Azmuth helped comfort and advise Ben, after Ben lost Feedback.

Alien Force

Azmuth returned in Good Copy, Bad Copy, where he revealed to the team that Albedo used to be one of his assistants. He took the core from Albedo's Omnitrix and teleported him to an alien prison.

In War of the Worlds: Part 1, Azmuth and Professor Paradox warned Ben that the Highbreed were destroying planets, and their fleet was heading towards Earth. Galvan Prime had already been destroyed and its destruction would be the beginning of the end. Although he didn't want Ben to fight, Azmuth realized that there would be no stopping him and activated the Master Control. for the sake of the battle. Azmuth participated in the battle against the DNAliens and chastized Ben for using the Omnitrix to revert them to human.

In War of the Worlds: Part 2, Azmuth accompanied the team to Augstaka, where Ben used the Omnitrix to repair the Highbreed's DNA by fusing it with random species from the Omnitrix. At the end of the episode, after the Omnitrix had reset (locking Master Control in the process), Azmuth left to help rebuild Galvan Prime without reactivating it, telling Ben to "have fun figuring it out".

In Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 1, when Ben and Kevin tried to hack the Omnitrix, Azmuth contacted Ben, telling him not to tamper with it, stating that he will learn how to activate the Master Control when the time is right.

In Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2, after the hacking attempt resulted in an explosion which unlesahed Chromastone, Goop, Spidermonkey, and Way Big from the Omnitrix, Azmuth instructed Ben to reabsorb the alien forms into the Omnitrix. Dissatisfied with what had happened, Azmuth also told Ben that he would not help him again.

In Primus, Azmuth wielded the Omnitrix to protect Primus from Vilgax, but was defeated and Vilgax took the Omnitrix from him. Azmuth was saved by Ben, who later tricked Vilgax by showing him how to use the Omnitrix. Ben got Vilgax to transform into Goop, allowing Ben to get the upper hand and remove the Omnitrix from Vilgax. At the end of the episode, even though Azmuth hadn't forgiven Ben for damaging the Omnitrix, he allowed him to keep it anyway.

In The Final Battle: Part 1, Myaxx informed Azmuth that the Ultimatrix had been stolen. Myaxx also showed security footage of Albedo, which distressed Azmuth.

In The Final Battle: Part 2, Azmuth answered Ben's plea for help. He explained to Ben that the Omnitrix was originally meant for Max. When Ben said he let Azmuth down, he agreed. Azmuth told Ben that "winning isn't so easy without the Omnitrix", making Ben realize that the only way to defeat Vilgax would be to destroy the Omnitrix.

Ultimate Alien

Azmuth returned in Map of Infinity, right after Ultimate Aggregor defeated Ben and his team. He told them about the Map of Infinity, an item Ultimate Aggregor was planning to steal to go to a place called the Forge of Creation. He also commented on the pathetic workmanship of the Ultimatrix, stating that the evolutionary feature was begging for trouble. He revealed that he was constructing a third Omnitrix. He refused to let Ben have it, because he is too reckless and requires much patience. He teleported the team to Galvan Mark II, Galvan Prime rebuilt. where he elaborated on the Map of Infinity. He later put Max in a tube to replace his nervous system, which was damaged Ultimate Aggregor.

In Perplexahedron, Azmuth was angry with Ben for losing three pieces of the Map of Infinity. After Ben stated that yelling at him was not helping, Azmuth teleported the team to Perplexahedron to retrieve the final piece of the map.

In The Forge of Creation, Azmuth lashed out at Ben and his team for letting Ultimate Aggregor beat them each time when they had four opportunities to stop him. After Professor Paradox reverted Alien X back to Ben, Azmuth argued with Paradox about the team's ability to save the universe this time. Azmuth also said that trusting Ben with the Omnitrix was a "grave mistake" though Paradox had said that it was not a mistake at all, and that he and Azmuth knew the reasons why all too well. Azmuth resentfully began to reveal that Paradox had told him that Ben was a legendary being born with incomprehensible, immeasurable power, and that he would someday do something amazing, as it was his "grand destiny", but Paradox interrupted him, saying that there must be "no spoilers".

In The Transmogrification of Eunice, Azmuth appeared during Sunder and Ben's battle for the Unitrix and saw Ben and Sunder fighting in a muddy area. It was revealed that he was the one who hired Sunder to retrieve the Unitrix. He told Ben and his team about the Omnitrix prototype called the Unitrix and argued with Ben about putting Eunice back in storage, but after being impressed by Ben's strong defense over Eunice and his belief about his aliens, he agreed to a compromise and allowed her to live a free life as one of his assistants. He stated that he always needed help tending to Primus.

In Simian Says, Eunice contacted Azmuth about the degradation of the Arachnachimp DNA sample on Primus; he angrily told her to send Volaticus biopsis to get a fresh sample.

In The Ultimate Sacrifice, Azmuth stopped the fight between Kevin and the Mechamorph Guard. He later fixed the glitch in the Ultimatrix that caused the Ultimate Forms to have sentience, and took them to his lab^{[ES 1]} before taking them to a nice planet to live on where they could live comfortably and usefully.^{[DR 1]}

In Solitary Alignment, Azmuth became involved with the Forever Knights by claiming that the sword Sir George used to fight Dagon with, Ascalon, is his, which led Ben to question him about the First Knight. Azmuth reluctantly agreed to tell the origins of Ascalon by showing them moments from his past.

In The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2, Azmuth came to reclaim Ascalon and the Ultimatrix, and in return gave Ben the new Omnitrix after Ben proved himself worthy of having it.

Omniverse

In Showdown: Part 1, Azmuth was ambushed by Dr. Psychobos, Khyber, and his dog. They turned Khyber's dog into Omnivoracious to kill Azmuth. When she was busy battling Ben, Azmuth made a whistle out of a bone and turned Omnivoracious into Vicetopus to hold Dr. Psychobos captive.

In Showdown: Part 2, Azmuth devised a plan to stop Malware from taking over Galvan Mark II. He, along with Gwen and Rook, traveled to the remains of Galvan to find a solution while Ben and Kevin kept Malware busy. Azmuth eventually found the Helix, which he believed could be beneficial. Azmuth later brought Feedback the Helix so he could use its powers to defeat Malware. Azmuth also revealed that he brought the Galvanic Mechamorphs back to life and watched as Feedback finally defeated Malware for good. Azmuth also appeaered in 16-year-old Ben's subconscious, telling 11-year-old Ben that Ben never learns anything just from winning and says that Ben could learn something from losing Feedback.

In The Frogs of War: Part 2, it was revealed that Azmuth saved Ben and unlocked Bullfrag for him so he could sneak aboard an Incursean ship.

In OTTO Motives, Azmuth had Ben teleported to Khoros, which took some convincing.

Azmuth made an appearance at the end of A Fistful of Brains, as he was kidnapped by Albedo and Khyber, and was trapped within a machine.

In For a Few Brains More, Albedo drained Azmuth's intelligence, causing Azmuth's "pre-brain" to take control. As a result, Azmuth exhibited childish behavior. After Azmuth was turned back to normal, he modified the Ultimatrix to turn Albedo into an 11-year-old clone of Ben as punishment. He also said that Ben needs to stop hitting the Omnitrix so hard, because whenever he transforms into an alien, the impact of his hit sets the timer to random.

Azmuth was mentioned in the case during Universe vs. Tennyson, in which Chadzmuth indicated that the changes in his appearance and voice over the years were the result of Celestialsapiens redesigning the universe.

In Malgax Attacks, Ben came to Azmuth, asking him to separate Skurd from the Omnitrix. Azmuth was fascinated by Skurd, having believed that the Slime-Biot race was extinct. Though he tried to dissuade Ben from his decision, Azmuth agreed to use ionic particle surgery to remove Skurd. He then placed Skurd in a container, hoping to study him. When Vilgax and Albedo attacked Galvan Prime, Azmuth chose to deal with Albedo. When he confronted him in his lab, Albedo (as Ultimate Rath) seemingly vaporized him with a blaster. However, Blukic and Driba discovered that Azmuth had actually teleported himself at that exact moment and managed to reconstitute him. Azmuth used a device to shut down Albedo's Ultimatrix, preventing him from transforming. He then revealed to Albedo that he became the First Thinker for coming up with possible contingency plans, such as a failsafe for preventing the misuse of an Omnitrix. After Vilgax was defeated, Azmuth commended Blukic and Driba for being smart enough to recognize the clue he left behind, adding that the reconstitution process had fixed his sciatica, leaving him feeling "like brand new".

Powers and Abilities

Azmuth's mental prowess is considered worlds apart from the rest of his species. He is well-regarded as the smartest being in five galaxies.^[2] His genius, particularly his ability to always plan for every scenario and contingency, caused him to be awarded the title of "First Thinker" by his species.^[6] He even is aware of and often thinks in regard to the Omniverse, as demonstrated by Ultimate Albedo when he absorbed Azmuth's intelligence.^[13]

Azmuth is excellent at engineering. He is a skilled inventor, having created an incredibly wide breadth of inventions, some of which are incredibly powerful and capable of bending reality, such as the Omnitrix and Ascalon, respectively. He is also capable of improvising, as shown when he fashioned a spaceship out of a large Mechadroid's head^[3] and a whistle out of a bone with the help of the Proto-Tool.^[15]

Azmuth possesses a vast scientific and technological knowledge of alien paraphernalia. As the creator of the original Omnitrix, and the catalyst for all future Omnitrices to be created, Azmuth knows all the functions of those he created, and thus has the potential to utilize any Omnitrix model more effectively than anyone else. He can also discern the functions of devices he did not create, as he demonstrated with the Nemetrix^[15] and recreated Ultimatrix.^[13]

Azmuth can jump high in the air.^[2]

Equipment

Azmuth has a spacesuit, allowing him to survive in unsuitable environments.^[16][17]

Azmuth's preferred tool for emergency contingency plans is his personal teleporter. He can use it to teleport himself to avoid death,^[6] teleport the user of the Omnitrix to him,^[15] or even set the Omnitrix to teleport itself to him.^[18]

Azmuth has a spaceship.^[17]

Azmuth has a device that can disable Omnitrix technology.^[6]

Azmuth once piloted a robotic biosuit when he first encountered Ben. It was damaged by Ben as Cannonbolt.^[3]

Azmuth fashioned a spaceship out of a large Mechadroid's head to leave Xenon.^[3] He last left it on Earth.^[1]

Azmuth temporarily used the Mechamorph Armor to repair the Rustbucket.^[1]

Azmuth formerly wielded a DNA Repair Gun, which he used to revert the DNAliens back to human.^[9]

Azmuth temporarily used the original Omnitrix to battle Vilgax on Primus.^[18]

Weaknesses

Azmuth's small size makes him unsuitable for physical battle, so he must outsmart his enemies in a fight.

Being a Galvan, Azmuth is at a massive disadvantage against the Nemetrix's sample of an Omnivoracious due to his small size.^[15]

Azmuth is vulnerable to electricity.^[13]

Azmuth be constrained by a DNAlien's slime.^[9]

Azmuth's arrogance and ego can lead him to miscalculate or become short-sighted. An example of this includes losing his true love Zennith while creating the sword Ascalon.^[2]

Relationships

Allies

Ben Tennyson

Ben's initial thoughts of Azmuth before meeting him were never stated, but he did find it to be somewhat surprising that he was a Galvan. After meeting him, he thought of him as a jerk who cared about no one but himself. However, his perception of him changed when Azmuth fixed the Omnitrix.^[3]

Five years prior to Omniverse, Ben and Azmuth interacted more frequently after the latter's reintegration into Galvan society. Ben was disappointed in Azmuth's refusal to correct Malware due to his other responsibilities,^[16] but they still assisted each other in saving Galvan B. In a flashback in Showdown: Part 1, Azmuth warned Ben to not overuse Feedback, but Ben did not heed his warning and Feedback was lost from the Omnitrix after a fight with Malware. and during a flashback in Showdown: Part 2, Azmuth offered Ben advice and comfort after he lost Feedback.

In Alien Force, Ben respected Azmuth as the creator of the Omnitrix, though he was willing to go against his orders when he deemed it necessary, such as when he refused to stay out of the final battle against the Highbreed.^[9] In Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2, Ben further disobeyed Azmuth's warnings and hacked the Omnitrix, nearly completely losing Azmuth's trust. The next time they met was in Primus, where Azmuth decoupled the Omnitrix in order to use it himself against Vilgax, after which he only reluctantly allowed Ben to continue using it. After Ben gave up the Omnitrix to Vilgax in The Final Battle: Part 2, he pleaded for Azmuth's help, to which Azmuth appeared and berated Ben for being foolish. However, over the course of their talk, Azmuth reflected on why he let Ben continue using the Omnitrix, admitting he had underestimated him and forgiving him.

In Ultimate Alien Azmuth helped instruct Ben's team on how to stop Aggregor on his quest to claim the pieces of the Map of Infinity, later on berating them for failing to stop him at every opportunity. When Ben encountered Sir George, Azmuth appeared to inform him of his history with him, notably him creating George's sword Ascalon. Fearing the sword's power had overwhelmed George, with the looming threat of the Dagon, Azmuth instructed Ben to take the sword from him, though Ben argued that George had earned the right to attempt slaying Dagon his way. Azmuth surprisingly agreed, admitting he could be wrong. After Dagon was defeated and Ben made the choice to give up his power combined with Ascalon, Azmuth arrived to collect his sword, and the Ultimatrix. Ben was confused, but he told Ben he had proved his worth, and was now ready to wield the true, second Omnitrix.

Known Inventions

Name	Information
Primus	A planet which contains the Codon Stream. Acts as a wireless transmitter to the Omnitrix and Ultimatrix. Its location can be changed to keep it hidden or in the case of being compromised.[18]
Codon Stream	DNA database.
Volaticus biopsis	Mosquito-like creatures created by Azmuth to collect DNA from aliens for the Codon Stream. They live on Primus.
Ascalon	Azmuth created Ascalon and gave it to Sir George 1000 years ago.[2] He got the idea of making Ascalon after doing some stargazing while observing a nearby planetary system in complete alignment. After the destruction of the Incursean homeworld by Ascalon and falling out between him and his girlfriend Zennith, Azmuth regrets inventing Ascalon and vowed to dedicate himself to peaceful sciences. It was given back to Azmuth by Ben in The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2.
Helix	An experiment in the hopes of making Galvan B inhabitable for colonization. It led to the creation of the Galvanic Mechamorphs and Malware. He had been working on creating a second Helix to cure Malware's condition, but it was stolen and upgraded Malware having lasting effects to this day.[16]
Galvanic Mechamorphs	In an experiment to make Galvan B habitable for colonization using his Helix, he accidentally brought the Galvanic Mechamorphs into existence. This ended his plans of colonization of Galvan B.[16]
Mechamorph Armor	A suit of armor that allows the user to become a Galvanic Mechamorph. Unfortunately, a single flaw "pumps up the user's aggression" and makes them almost feral.[1]
Galvanian Skeuomorph	The Skeuomorph was created to destroy the B.L.R.R.T. on Earth.
Unitrix	A prototype model of the Omnitrix. At first, Azmuth intended to store the DNA in separate containers. However, the idea was discarded for something that could store DNA, keep track of collected DNA, make it easier to safeguard and, if necessary, revive dead species more easily. The Omnitrix introduced the idea of walking in the shoes of other lifeforms. This prototype eventually led to the birth of Eunice.[19]
Omnitrix (Original)	Azmuth's most notable invention. It allowed the user to transform into many different aliens. It was created as a device to allow one to understand other species better.[3] Its power was seen as a weapon by many, including Vilgax. Originally was to be entrusted to Max, but was found by Ben.[20] Self-destructed in The Final Battle: Part 2 to prevent Vilgax, who had obtained it by forcing Ben into giving it to him, from using it.
Galvan Mark II	A rebuilt version of Galvan Prime, after it was destroyed by the Highbreed.[9] Azmuth designed Galvan Mark II to have a series of firewalls in case of viral attacks.[21] In light of Malware's attack, he made upgrades in their defenses.
Ultimatrix (Original)	The successor of the Omnitrix with some of the same features as the Omnitrix. Azmuth wasn't finished making it when it was stolen, completed, and modified by Albedo in The Final Battle: Part 1, who added an evolutionary feature that evolved aliens into their Ultimate form. Azmuth mentioned that it was shoddy workmanship and cited the evolutionary function as "begging for trouble".[10] It was removed by Azmuth in The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2 so that he could give Ben his third Omnitrix. He later destroyed it.
Omnitrix (Omniverse)	In Map of Infinity, Azmuth said he had been making yet another new Omnitrix. In The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2, Azmuth revealed that the original Omnitrix was a prototype and he started working on the improved Omnitrix six years ago. In the same episode, he removed the Ultimatrix and gave the Omnitrix to Ben, as he had proved worthy enough for his new creation.
Teleport Beacon	In Malgax Attacks, Blukic and Driba used this machine to rematerialize Azmuth after his presumed death.
