PlotEdit

An earthquake wakes a Highbreed officer, who was put into stasis and only to be awakened if the Highbreed lost the war. Per his orders, he triggers a weapon of last resort meant to destroy Earth. Mind-controlling seeds take over Grandpa Max and five others, using them as the brain for a living bomb that will end all life on the planet. The Highbreed officer refuses to believe Ben's claims of peace and won't divulge how to stop the creature. While Gwen and Kevin try to slow it down, Ben enlists the aid of Reinrassic III to get the Highbreed officer to cooperate. Unable to stop the monster from the outside, Ben, Gwen and Kevin sneak inside the monster to destroy it within. They manage to save the human beings used as its brain and the Highbreed officer sacrifices himself to dispose of the creature safely.

QuotesEdit

Gwen: Just tell us... Are there any more Highbreed doomsday plans left on Earth we should know about? Reinrassic III: Absolutely not! [pauses] Um, I will... check the records.

Kevin: We're not gonna just stand here and let the brussel sprout that walks like a man nuke us, are we?

Kevin: Come on. We'll follow in my car. Ben: Forget the car. I've got a better idea. (selects Way Big, but becomes Humungousaur) Humungousaur: Way Big... Aw, man! Humungousaur. I wonder if the Omnitrix is still under warranty.

Gwen: Having fun? Kevin: Pros of camp-outs: fresh air, barbecue burgers. Cons of camp-outs: your Grandpa Max's old Plumbers stories that we've heard ten times before.

ErrorsEdit

• When the Highbreed officer flew into the Highbreed Tree Monster, after the scene where they show Reinrassic III and the soldiers, the Highbreed officer was with them.
• Humungousaur and the Highbreed Tree Monster's heights change throughout the episode.
• When the Highbreed Tree Monster was about to fall down and the Highbreed officer ask Ben's team to gather all the people and get out, only Ben's team got out and they didn't gather all the people.
• The Highbreed officer appears not to have been affected by the Omnitrix wave in War of the Worlds: Part 2. Of course, this may mean that not all Highbreeds' coloration or shape changed.
