Azmuth Easter Egg

Ultimatrix Master Control contains a little easter egg. When you attempt to activate Master Control there's a 20% chance that the activation will fail. If that happens Azmuth will appear on the screen warning you about messing with the Omnitrix.

Ultimatrix Self Destruction

There are multiple phases in the Self Destruction sequence. The complete sequence lasts about 30 seconds not including the activation animation. After all of the phases are completed your Omnitrix will be explode!

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

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.

Aliens which support ultimate transformations: Swampfire, Humangosaur, Spidermonkey, Big Chill, Echo Echo, Ghostfreak, Way Big, Cannonbolt, Wildmutt.

You can activate Omniverse by using it's activation sequence when in Ultimatrix mode.

To show the selector and start switching aliens you need to long press the screen. Once the selector is visible you must not take your finger 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.

Omniverse contains one other sub-mode:

Bonus features

Color Customization

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).

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

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.
