8	Created by [[http://ben10fanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:ChromastoneandTabby ChromastoneandTabby]] on January 30, 2012, Tech 10: Rebooted is a ContinuityReboot of the author's original 'Tech 10' series. This series is a [[{{Continuation}} Continuation Fic]] taking place shortly after ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10 Omniverse}} Omniverse]]'', and features a darker tone than the actual show.
9	----
10	!!Tech 10: Rebooted contains examples of:
11
12	* ActionGirl: Moranna Ceres. Though she begins as a DarkActionGirl, this lasts for all of about one full episode and a half before she joins Tech's team.
13	* AffablyEvil: Warlord Kroz is a perfectly decent person to be around if you aren't fighting him.
14	* AncientAstronauts: The Animam Creari are a race of spacefaring golems that just so happen to land in Ancient Egypt; unlike most examples, however, they make it a point to stay out of human affairs. (For the most part.)
15	* AnimalisticAbomination: The Creature from Into The Pit certainly qualifies as one.
16	* {{Animesque}}: The images created for the fic fall into this category; fitting, seeing as it ''is'' a Ben 10 fan fic.
17	* AntiHero: Tech fights more for what he believes is 'justice', whether or not that fits in with anyone else's definition.
18	* AntiVillain: Warlord Kroz prefers to fight fairly using the Galactic Code of Conduct.
19	* ArmsDealer: Alvono was in forced labor for one until Tech managed to bust the operation.
20	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The 'Known Bugs' section of the [=SpecTrix=]'s page contains issues such as 'Combined aliens spontaneously losing atomic structure.' and 'Mechanizations highly vulnerable to harsh enviroments.', but ends with 'Occasionally teleports tacos from other dimensions into the area.'
21	** Can become FridgeHorror when you consider that the Anti-Telefrag isn't fully implemented...
22	* ArtEvolution: Very noticeable, especially since the art started being made in GIMP instead of UsefulNotes/MSPaint. For example, compare [=PHAcid=]'s [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130325212800/ben10fanfiction/images/b/b9/Phacid.png original design]] to his [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140722062013/ben10fanfiction/images/f/f6/Phacidnew.png current one]].
23	* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: This is how Kroz gained his position as ruler of the Emotispecters.
24	* AwesomeButImpractical: A few of Tech's alien forms are this.
25	** Destructorb is pretty much a living nuclear bomb, but can't control any explosion he starts.
26	** Rockoustic is powerful enough to destroy a planet with one blow, but is incredibly clumsy.
27	** Mysticon is a straight-up RealityWarper, but lacks anything resembling common sense.
28	* AxCrazy: Surprisingly [[{{JustifiedTrope}} Justified]]; Blyte and other violently insane lifeforms come about as a result of [[{{EldritchAbomination}} The Void]]'s interference. It's even pointed out that most mentally ill people don't usually end up hurting anyone but themselves.
29	* BigBadEnsemble: Dethrouge and The Puppet Master are the two Big Bads for the first season, which ultimately results in a VillainTeamUp in the season finale.
30	* BizarreAlienBiology: Pretty much every alien fits this to a tee, though special mention goes to Overtide, an alien made almost solely out of ice and water that may or may not just be a walking suit for sentient algae.
31	* CeilingCling: Attempted by Tech in order to sneak up on some robots. [[{{HilarityEnsues}} It goes about as well as you'd expect.]]
32	-->'''Tech''': Wait, you can see me?!
33	-->'''Robot''': [[{{DeadpanSnarker}} We have been equipped with peripheral vision.]]
34	-->'''Tech''': Curse you, unforeseen but inevitable [[{{RealityEnsues}} kick from reality!]]
35	* CerebusRollercoaster: This series tends to switch between light and dark at will, for better or for worse.
36	* ComesGreatInsanity: Blyte is an incredibly powerful combiner alien, but his base form's contradictory nature turns him into this trope.
37	* DarkerAndEdgier: Where the original Tech 10 continuity was overly simplified and optimistic, this series takes a somewhat more realistic take on the matter.
38	* DeathGlare: Tech has a [[{{RunningGag}} frequently used]] one that tends to ''set things on fire.''
39	* {{Determinator}}: Napoleon Eldridge. Fitting, seeing as how he's supposed to represent your typical Shōnen protagonist.
40	* DishingOutDirt: One of Golurth's main abilities.
41	* DitzyGenius: Napoleon Eldridge is your average hot-headed, logic-defying, common sense-ignoring Shōnen-style protagonist; he also happens to be a genius in academic pursuits, especially Linguistics.
42	* DoNotCallMePaul: Tech rather dislikes his birth name of Isaac, and will angrily insist upon calling him his nickname.
43	* TheDragon: Prelude is ultimately revealed to act as this for the Anti-Life Entity.
44	* EldritchAbomination: The Void counts as one, and even introduces itself as such.
45	-->'''The Void''': Oh, I'm not a lifeform, at least not in the way you might think of one. Think of me more as a sentient force of nature, or your friendly neighborhood Eldritch Abomination here to tell you you've made a terrible mistake.
46	* EmoTeen: [[{{PlayedWith}} Played with]]. Tech tries to come off as something like this, but is far too bright and good-natured (in spite of himself) to actually pull it off.
47	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: {{Lampshaded}} when discussing a type of worm that lives inside one planet's soil.
48	-->'''Description''': (Which also happens to be full of mulcher worms. [[{{Squick}} They're pretty much exactly what they sound like]].)
49	* ExtraOreDinary: Steelith's main ability.
50	* FaceRealization: Though technically 'only' an AntiHero at worst, Tech is still forced to confront this after realizing the discrepancy between his stated ideology and his actions. After this, he slowly starts to abandon his {{Jerkass}} act.
51	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Again, all three main protagonists seem to fall under this, though they get along decently well with each other.
52	* GalacticConqueror: Kroz has fairly won rule over around 72 planets, though he doesn't seem to actually do anything with them.
53	* GeniusBruiser: Warlord Kroz is a Leader-class Emotispecter, and has the physique and battle scars to prove it; on the other hand, he apparently possess enough knowledge and mental fortitude to be granted access to the normally restricted [[{{GreatBigLibraryOfEverything}} Archives of Oberon.]]
54	* GoodIsNotNice: All three main protagonists fall under this, each having a unique form of rudeness and sarcasm.
55	* GreaterScopeVillain: The Anti-Life Entity is eventually revealed as the driving force behind the plans of a few major villains.
56	* GravityMaster: Gravitar is this.
57	* TheHeavy: Prelude acts as this for the majority of the second season.
58	* TheHorde: Most Emotispecters (Warlord Kroz's species) are like this.
59	* HotBlade: The Pyronaut Blade Tech owns has the ability to cut through most armor when at full temperature.
60	* HumanoidAliens: Just like the source material, most of the aliens in this series are of the humanoid variety. Eventually explained as the result of a cyclical energy that tends to force sentient species into a humanoid shape during evolution.
61	* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Once Tech becomes semi-immortal, he 'dies' several times throughout the rest of the series.
62	* KnightInSourArmor: Tech seems to operate under the first personality type.
63	* LamePunReaction: Tech is none too pleased with Igneoux when he makes a couple of these after Tech [[{{HealingFactor}} loses and regains his arm]].
64	* LaughingMad: Blyte does this when he first wakes up; when questioned by Kroz on this, he simply expresses disappointment at Kroz not 'getting the joke'.
65	* LimitedWardrobe: The only time Tech changes his outfit is when it gets too hot out for his regular winter clothing, and even then, he keeps the same shoes. {{Lampshaded}} by Aquadilus.
66	-->'''Aquadilus''': He wore the same outfit all winter. How much variety do you think he actually ''has'' in his wardrobe?
67	* MagmaMan: Magmator's main ability.
68	* MeaningfulName: The names Tech gives his alien forms all fall under this.
69	* MinovskyPhysics: The rules for how spacetime works in this series have been extensively laid out in a text known as Panglar's Theorem of Timeline Relativity.
70	* MoralityAdjustment: Tech is slowly making his way towards being more empathetic to those around him.
71	* MythArc: The entire series revolves around the potential arrival of the Anti-Life Entity, [[spoiler:which eventually happens in the series finale]].
72	* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Warlord Kroz acknowledges and regrets his species's somewhat feral nature.
73	* NobleDemon: Kroz sticks to a moral code seemingly of his own invention at all times.
74	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Tech's real name is Isaac Matthew Logical. This doesn't get revealed until the ninth episode of the series, and he immediately bars anyone from using it.
75	* PlayingWithFire: Heatjet's main ability.
76	* PoisonousPerson: [=PHAcid=] is literally covered in highly corrosive acid.
77	* PrecisionFStrike: Tech attempts to drop one in the eighth episode, but gets [[{{CurseCutShort}} interrupted by a scene cut]].
78	* Really700YearsOld: Xr. Nullamor is revealed to have been around in Ancient Egypt around 1790 BC, despite presenting himself as a much more recently born person.
79	* RideTheLightning: Electrolite's secondary ability.
80	* ShockAndAwe: Electrolite's main ability.
81	* SlasherSmile: Blyte has '''four''' of these.
82	* SuperMode: The [=SpecTrix=]'s 'Evolution' function can basically activate this for any transformation.
83	* SuperSpeed: This serves as Terminano's main ability.
84	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The [=SpecTrix=] is basically a souped up copy of the [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10 Ultimate Alien}} Ultimatrix]].
85	* TheSyndicate: The Obsidian Death spans the entire galaxy, and is involved in multiple operations Tech has fought on Earth.
86	* TakeThat: The series seems to love taking both subtle and not-so-subtle jabs at the official Ben 10 franchise and cliched fan-fiction.
87	* TeleFrag: One of the [=SpecTrix=]'s known bugs is that the Anti-Telefrag is not fully implemented, meaning this can easily happen if the coordinates entered are currently being occupied.
88	* ThisIsADrill: One of Sandrill's main abilities.
89	* TooDumbToLive: Frank and Larry. Oh so much.
90	* VerbalTic: The black market shopkeeper occasionally repeats certain words.
