Okay, this is one of my biggest problems with Omniverse and I feel the need to vent it out, lest I turn into Rath: Poor Omnitrix Alien Use/Treatment. What I mean by this? Well, certain Omnitrix aliens were clearly underused, especially the Alien Force ones. This is evident in the later half of the show, which basically showed only Original Series and/or Omniverse aliens per episode. Also, pretty much every alien was treated as a joke, but I have some notable examples. You could say that the Alien Force/Ultimate Alien era treated the Original Series aliens poorly by not having them appear a lot, you would be right to a degree, however, Ben hadn't unlocked all of them, unlike in Omniverse and if memory serves, they weren't used as a joke.

Anyway, let's get started:

Original Series Aliens

 * Heatblast: Ah, the very original. Remember the days when Heatblast could go toe to toe with Vilgax and defeated Viktor? Well, forget those, because Omniverse has other plans. His first reappearance amounts to blowing up a tire, he gets beaten by Malware, he is a chew toy for Crabdozer. His only saving grace is that he saved someone from drowning. Now, if we ignore his appearance in TGIS, he later appears in Stuck On You, a whooping SIX SEASONS after Showdown. What a way to use Ben's first alien, Omniverse crew.
 * Stinkfly: Ben's first true flying alien, Stinkfly was shown as a truly pathetic and useless alien. Ignoring the flashbacks, his first reappearance has him get owned by Buglizard, just like in the next episode. Then, he gets dunked into a water tank in Malefactor. So, what does Stinkfly do to redeem himself? He doesn't appear at all afterwards, with the exception of a small cameo in A New Dawn. Wow, just wow.
 * Ripjaws: Ben's first aquatic alien, Ripjaws always had a problem making appearances due to his specific powerset. So, what does Omniverse do to help Ripjaws shine a little more? Nothing at all, since he only appears in 3 out of 80 episodes, with one appearance being a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo. Great job.
 * Way Big: Ben's first real powerhouse, Way Big is almost invincible. Here comes Omniverse and Way Big suddenly was defeated by none other than...TRUMBIPULOR?! What the heck, guys?
 * Arctiguana: Ben's first ice alien, Arctiguana makes his first chronological appearance in Omniverse. How is he treated? His first two appearances are fine, his appearance in Collect This is a joke and we have a small cameo by Negative Arctiguana. Arctiguana doesn't appear in A New Dawn, which shows how much the crew cared about him.
 * Spitter: *Cricket sounds*

Alien Force Aliens

 * Swampfire: Ben's first alien used when he had the recalibrated Omnitrix, Swampfire is a powerful and popular alien, used a lot during the Alien Force/Ultimate Alien era. So, it would make sense for Omniverse to tone down his appearances, right? Except that the crew really overdid it and Swampifre appeared in only 5 out of 80 episodes. His first appearance is a glorified silent cameo, his second appearance is an actual cameo. Then we have Charmed, I'm Sure, which features the very controversial redesign. Ignoring A New Dawn, let's focus on Swampfire's last appearance: Weapon XI: Part 2. In this episode, the supposed superior blossomed Swampfire is completely pathetic, getting thrown around like a ragdoll by a mutated Kevin in what amounts as a curbstomp battle. If this is some sort of twisted book ends, considering that Swampfire defeated Kevin in Ben 10 Returns: Part 1, then I have two words to say to the Omniverse crew: Screw you.
 * Echo Echo: Echo Echo wasn't treated like a joke, to be honest, since he actually defeated the enemies he faced in each episode he appeared, however he vanished after Tummy Trouble, a Season 3 episode, with the exception of A New Dawn 's obligatory cameo.
 * Jetray: *Cricket sounds*
 * Brainstorm: Brainstorm's first reappearance is him getting dunked in a water tank in Malefactor. His second appearance in The Vengers is thankfully superior, since he defeated the titular team without breaking a sweat. Also, Negative Brainstorm appears for some reason (does Albedo get a downgrade in intelligence when he turns into Brainstorm? Who knows). Despite Brainstorm's excellent second appearance it doesn't excuse his terrible underuse.
 * Chromastone: Chromastone is undoubtably Omniverse 's best example of alien underuse. His first reappearance is a silent cameo in Trouble Helix. His next appearance is in A New Dawn, which is the SERIES FINALE! Aside from getting a new design, Chromastone also has his spotlight stolen by his rip-off, Feedback. Wonderful, just wonderful.
 * Goop: Oh, Goop. Poor, poor Goop. It's not your fault that you were treated like trash in Omniverse. In addition to getting a stupid beak, Goop was defeated by Trumpipulor, one-shotted by Ultimate Albedo and owned by Subdora and Exo-Skull. His only other appearance of "note" is him being in a water sink. Oh, and Negative Goop appears, doing...stuff. Ulti will have his revenge.
 * Alien X: Huh? Why is the least used alien on this list? Because, in Omniverse he isn't  anymore. He retcons the universe in So Long, And Thanks for All the Smoothies, he fights a Celestialsapien in Universe vs Tennyson, he messes around instead of fixing everything since he has full control, but is stupid because reasons in Weapon XI: Part 1 and makes a cameo in A New Dawn. In other words, he appears more times than Chromastone and Lodestar! Aliens X is supposed to be underused, being a last resort. Clearly, the Omniverse crew didn't care about that.
 * Lodestar: The first alien used in Omniverse and almost the most underused, since his only other appearance of note is Return to Forever. Lodestar is such a unique and cool alien, but no, Walkatrout has to appear more, more!
 * Murk Upchuck: You really have to feel sorry for Murk Upchuck, since his only appearances are two very short cameos in Store 23 and Tummy Trouble, with the very bland Perk Upchuck stealing screen time.

Ultimate Alien Aliens

 * Eatle: Honestly, Eatle had a pretty rough run. His very first appearance was him getting one-shotted by Ascalon Vilgax, so his debut was not so great. Thankfully, he made up for it in his later appearances, even going toe to toe with Lucubra Vilgax. So, how does Omniverse treat him? Awfully. He doesn't stop Ester, he gets thrown in the air during a fight with LIAM (lolwut), he doesn't stop OTTO and then he gets picked up by Rook. Seriously? Not only was he underused, his appearances were pure garbage.
 * Ultimate Echo Echo: The best Ultimate form imo, Ultimate Echo Echo was used twice in Omniverse. Aside for his forgettable appearance in And Then There Were None, his appearance in The Ultimate Heist was...disappointing, to say the least. For starters, he gained wires which are totally impractical and limit his arm movements, he also gains a very, very stupid weakness as well: If his sonic disks are harmed, he is harmed as well (wat). Somehow ignoring the fact that this weaknesse wasn't shown in Ultimate Alien, to top it off, he is defeated by Shocksquatch, the same Shocksquatch that was defeated by FISTRICK. At least he didn't speak.

Phew, now I feel much better.
