[edit] Discription
Brainstorm is a crab-like alien with a hard shell. He is shown to have the biggest head of all the new set of aliens and can be slow and steady. He is orange, with black, ring-like things around his arms and legs. He has two enormous, powerful pincers which he can use effectively in battle should Ben ever have to fight in hand-to-hand combat using Brainstorm. His shell-like head can open up to reveal his brain, and his intellect rivals even that of a Galvan's. Brainstorm lighting can be shorted out by a bucket of water.
[edit] First Transformation
Ben transforms into Brainstorm in Pier Pressure when he had to fight a Galvanic Mechomorph double named Ship (See character Roster). Ben first selected to transform into Jetray but it switched to Brainstrorm after the pier shook , which makes Brainstrorm the first accidental transformation in the series.
[edit] Abilities
Brainstorm's powers involve very high intelligence even comparable to that of Grey Matter or Azmuth. Unlike Grey Matter or Azmuth, Brainstorm has offensive capability from his brain in the form of electrical attacks, as well as defensive capability in the form of forcefield projection/control, and mind bursts, Brainstorm calls this attack the, "Electroencephalitic mind Blast". Unfortunately, doing this attack requires Ben to expose his brain that is usually covered with his resiliant shell, which is vulnerable to attack. As shown in the season 3 epsiode Inferno, Brainstorm also has the ability to levitate.
When transformed into this alien Ben acquires a smart sounding accent.
[edit] Planet and Species
Brainstorm is a Cerebrocrustacean (a play on "cerebrum" and "crustacean") from the planet Encephalonus IV (a play on "encepha-", a prefix referring to the brain). The skies of this planet are plagued by a never-ending thunderstorm, which is the main source of power on the planet.
[edit] Weaknesses
In the episode "Good copy, Bad copy" Albedo turned into Echo echo and Ben turned into Brainstorm. Echo echo's sonic blasts gave Brainstorm a headache.Also the species tends to be egomaniacal which makes them forget how to do simple thins as seen in Vengeance of Vilgax where Brainstorm forgot to capture a wild Spidermonkey due to its cocky attitude
