In Master Control mode you gain access to a total of 55 aliens.
The transformations are infinite, meaning that you can stay transformed
how long you want! Cooldowns don't require you wait before being able to
transform again, meaning that you can exit cooldown whenever you like.
There's also a quick transformation feature which you can
use by long pressing the screen when your Omnitrix is locked.
Activation sequence: L, L, R, R, L, L, R, R, L, L.
There are multiple phases in the Self Destruction sequence. After all of

Unlike Prototype mode where the Master Control state is persisent in
Ultimatrix mode you need to activate Master Control every time you open

sequence lasts about 30 seconds not including the activation animation.

In the Ultimatrix Self Destruction sequence there's also a countdown.
The Ultimatrix speaks to let you know how much time's left before the
detonation.
To cancel the Self Destruction you can use the same sequence you used to
activate it. But, make sure you cancel on time because you can't abort
if there's less than five seconds on the countdown.
Ultimate transformations are available only when Master Control is
enabled.
After performing the regular transformation instead of clicking the
screen, to go into cooldown, you need to long press the screen. The
ultimate transformation sound effect and animation will play, after
which the evolved alien will appear.

of the screen.
To switch aliens to the right (clockwise) you need to drag your finger
to the right side of the screen. To switch aliens to the left
(counter-clockwise) you need to drag your finger to the left side of the
screen.
Once you select the alien you want to transform into, bring your finger
to the center of the screen and lift it of the screen. You will hear a
beeping sound. To perform the actual transformation you need to tap the
center of the screen one more time.

The Randomizer function can be activated when your Omnitrix is locked.
After activating the Randomizer Function you will get a random alien
about every 15 seconds. You can disable the Randomizer function by using
the same sequence you used to activate it.
You can change the color theme of the Ultimatrix and Omniverse modes. You can choose between 12 different colors! To change colors you need to have the Alien Watch Companion app for Android and go into the settings screen. Available colors: dark blue, light blue, green (classic), lime, orange, yellow, pink, purple, cyan, grey, brown and red (albedo).
Activation sequence: R, R, L, R, R, L, L, R, L, L.
Albedo mode is a special color customization option which can't be
selected in the Companion app. Albedo mode needs to be activated using
the activation sequence above when in Ultimatrix or Omniverse mode.
Albedo mode has higher priority than the color theme selected using the
Companion app and it will override it. However, you can return to the
color theme selected in the Companion or the deafult color theme by
disabling Albedo mode eg. using the same sequence you used to activate
Albedo mode.
Screensaver or Ambient mode is the mode that's activated after you
perform the palm gesture eg. cover your watch screen with your palm. The
screen will become darker and a clock will appear on the screen.
Depending on the mode which is currently active (Prototype, Ultimatrix
or Omniverse) a different background will be used.
Currently there's no way to keep Alien Watch as a watch face, but this
is a pretty good alternative.
