The Omnitrix has a 2-way communication system with Plumber Badges.When pressed, it will trigger the transformation. The faceplate will then slide open automatically after Ben chooses his alien, after that, the Omnitrix's core will come out. The Omnitrix has a holographic interface, where a holographic circle is shown, with the top half having alien faces, which is activated and scrolls through the aliens by the user touching the faceplate, or in other ways, scrolling up and down or scrolling in a circle, akin to a touch screen.The Omnitrix does not rely on the Codon Stream for transformation, instead having the DNA stored within itself in a computerized form.If it does mistransform, it's Ben's fault caused by his habit of slamming his hand on the Omnitrix's core and inadvertently the scroll pad.Unlike the Original Omnitrix and the Ultimatrix, the Omnitrix does not mistransform.The Omnitrix can synchronize with another Omnitrix.
The faceplate is black with two green stripes forming an outline for the hourglass of the intergalactic peace symbol. Its face plate is now square instead of round, and has a white and green color scheme.
