* WhamLine: "You're still alive, aren't you?" "You're a ''good guy''?"
* WhamShot: Tetrax removing his helmet to reveal he's the same species as Diamondhead.
** For context, whilst Ben battle Tetrax as Diamondhead, the latter berates Ben using Diamondhead without strategy or training. When Ben asks what makes Tetrax such an expert on this alien, it doesn't get any more justifiable than revealing he ''is'' that alien.
* WhatTheHellHero: A rather [[TranquilFury subdued]] one from Tetrax. He calls Ben out on being so focused on brute strength that it borders on incompetent.

* GoodAllAlong: In a way. Tetrax is clearly not working for Vilgax, just using it as an excuse to remove the Omnitrix from Ben's wrist. His intentions are not explained but, given his change of mind when he saw Ben properly using it, it's safe to say he just doesn't want it falling into the wrong hands.
