Ben 10 - Power of the Omnitrix show at Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre

My family & I went to this show, mainly because my son is a big Ben 10 fan. He is also a big Transformers fan, a big Spiderman fan, etc. We went with my sister-in-law and her family. The hall was full of families with kids and boys with Ben 10 t-shirts, jackets, omnitrixes, and other Ben 10 paraphernalia. My son Hilman, was also dressed in his Ben 10 Alien Force long-sleeved tee which we bought at Mothercare a few weeks back.

The show was not too bad, considering that the target audience is probably 3-11 year old boys. The first half of the show was the original Ben 10 (the pre-pubertal Ben Tennyson) and the second half of the show was Ben 10 Alien Force (the adolescent Ben Tennyson, 5 years later). The script, characters, set, costumes kept very much to the spirit of the two Ben 10 variants - the original Ben 10 being more child-like and cute while the successor Ben 10 Alien Force being more mature, darker and with a much cooler set of characters, aliens and scenarios.

Showtime!

Gwen, Ben & plumber Grandpa Max with the RV in which the 2 kids live in the summer holidays with their grandaddy. Grandpa Max isn't the kind of plumber that you & I usually encounter. I'll bet Grandpa Max can't fix a leaking tap even if his life depended on it.

Some participants of an extreme contest in which Ben & Gwen participate but lose to Kevin Levin.

Ben & Gwen Tennyson (Ben 10 & Gwen 10). Notice that their names rhyme?

One of the aliens that Ben changes into.

Kevin Levin - bad boy in Ben 10 but Ben & Gwen's ally in Ben 10 Alien Force.

Kevin and 2 droids who held Grandpa Max captive as they are seeking the omnitrix - an essential tool for world domination, apparently.

Teens Ben, Kevin & Gwen in the 2nd half of the show. Notice that their costumes have changed to sync with the costumes of each character in the Ben 10 Alien Force cartoon. Gwen's looking pretty hot while Ben's looking a little nerdy in his green jacket. Kevin Levin now owns a cool green car in which they all travel in. Kevin also now has large pectoral muscles all of a sudden (looks like fake pecs - probably foam pads underneath the costume).

They spend a lot of time at this joint called "Burger Shack" where they always seem to be the only customers. Mmmmm...strange, isn't it?

The naughty droids who are helping the big-kahuna villain (I forgot his name) to dominate the world.

The now good guy, Kevin in a fight scene with a baddie.

Bad guy (on the left in white and long black arms - apparently useful for scrubbing his back while showering) holding Ben 10 captive in this weird-looking machine while the baddie assistants in white labcoats (are they medical doctors? Hmmmm..) look on.

Another scene with the baddies.

Ben 10 said, "Tolong! Tolong! Lepaskan Aku!"

Bad guy said, "Aku takkan lepaskan kau. Hahahahahahhahaa!"

Ben then uses his omnitrix to change himself into this yellow octopus-like alien.

Gwen, Grandpa Max, Ben & Kevin.

After the show, we had tea at Aseana Cafe. After that, we walked for a bit and then went home.
