What the Fortnite x Ben 10 Crossover Includes
Epic Games has officially confirmed a Ben 10 crossover with Fortnite, bringing Cartoon Network’s classic hero to the Battle Royale island. The collaboration was first teased in a trailer showing an alien device – the Omnitrix – activating, followed by a cell-shaded Ben skin that fits Fortnite’s anime-style crossovers. Players can now buy Fortnite Ben 10 skins in the Item Shop, including Ben Tennyson and Gwen Tennyson. Both characters come with multiple looks inspired by the original series, and Ben’s outfit features a built-in alien transformation emote. Beyond the two headline skins, the collab adds themed pickaxes, back blings, a wrap, and even a pair of Fortnite Kicks based on Wildmutt. As with other limited-time collabs, these cosmetics are only available in the shop for a short period, so Malaysian players who grew up with Ben 10 may want to grab them while they last.
How the Omnitrix Powers and Transformations Work
The core fantasy of this Ben 10 crossover revolves around the Omnitrix. In the official teaser, players see Ben cycling through multiple alien forms using his wrist device, hinting that Fortnite Omnitrix powers will be more than just cosmetic. Epic has a history of giving crossover heroes unique mechanics, so it’s likely that Ben’s alien transformations are triggered via his built-in emote rather than standard weapon swaps. The Omnitrix Activated emote comes bundled with the Ben Tennyson skin and appears to function as the main way to showcase his alien forms during matches. While Epic hasn’t fully detailed whether these transformations affect gameplay stats or remain purely visual, the trailer’s heavy focus on alien forms suggests they’ll be a key part of the experience whenever you equip the Ben 10 skin in your locker.
Fortnite Item Shop Guide: How to Get Ben and Gwen
Getting the Fortnite Ben 10 skins is straightforward if you know where to look in the Item Shop. From the main lobby, head to the Item Shop tab and scroll until you see the Ben 10 section, which should appear near the top while the collab is featured. If you still can’t spot it, use the sidebar filters to jump directly to the Ben 10 category. Once there, you can either pick the all-in-one Ben 10 Bundle or buy individual items such as the Ben Tennyson skin, Gwen Tennyson skin, and their matching cosmetics. Before pressing and holding the Purchase button, make sure you have enough V-Bucks in your account. After buying, your new Ben 10 cosmetics will show up in your locker, ready to be equipped in your next match, whether you’re dropping into Battle Royale or just flexing your Omnitrix in the lobby.
Fortnite Ben 10 Skins and Bundle Prices for Malaysian Players
For players tracking Fortnite skin prices, the Ben 10 collab offers both bundles and à la carte options. The complete Ben 10 Bundle, which includes all related cosmetics, is priced at 4,000 V-Bucks. If you only want the main hero, the Ben Tennyson skin – bundled with the Omnitrix Activated emote and Omnitrix Pick pickaxe – costs 2,000 V-Bucks. Gwen fans can grab the Gwen Tennyson skin with the Anodite Evolution emote and Gwen’s Grimoire back bling for 1,800 V-Bucks. Individual items include the Omnitrix Pick and Mana Orbs pickaxes at 800 V-Bucks each, Wildmutt Chompers Kicks at 1,000 V-Bucks, the Azmuth back bling at 600 V-Bucks, Gwen’s Grimoire back bling at 400 V-Bucks, and the Omnitrix Upgrade wrap at 500 V-Bucks. Malaysian players can simply convert these V-Buck prices using their usual store exchange rate when topping up.
Community Reaction and Why This Ben 10 Crossover Matters
The Ben 10 crossover has sparked enthusiastic reactions from both Fortnite and long-time Cartoon Network fans. Many players are nostalgic for the 2005 cartoon and see the Fortnite Ben 10 skins as a chance to relive childhood memories while grinding Battle Royale matches. The focus on Omnitrix transformations promises a more interactive experience than a typical cosmetic-only collab, echoing past events where Epic experimented with unique gameplay twists. At the same time, the crossover arrives during a contentious period for Fortnite, following mode shutdowns, criticism of AI-generated characters, and layoffs tied to financial concerns. This context has some community members questioning whether frequent, expensive collaborations help or hurt the game overall. Still, the Ben 10 content underscores Fortnite’s role as a pop culture hub where different universes collide, giving Malaysian fans of the franchise a fresh reason to drop in and experiment with alien-powered loadouts.
