Special Delivery is the sixth episode of the third season of Ben 10: Omniverse, and the twenty-sixth episode overall.
Plot[]
The episode starts with Ben at his house when the doorbell rings. He opens the door to find Thunderpig, who claims that Ben ate his father. Thunderpig throws his energy mace at Ben, but he misses. Ben quickly transforms into Echo Echo and defeats him by using a sound shield and a sound burst, but wrecks Mr. Baumann's car in the process. After the Omnitrix times out, causing Echo Echo to transform back into normal, Mr. Baumann gets angry at Ben and states that it is always him who destroys his property. Mr. Baumann then remembers the other times that Ben has destroyed his car.
A flashback happens. 5½ years old Ben introduces himself to Mr. Baumann and tries to help him dry his car by using his magnifying glass to find the trace of water on the car. Suddenly, a sun ray hits Ben's magnifying glass and causes Mr. Baumann's car to catch on fire. Mr. Baumann gets angry, with Ben saying, "See ya" and runs back to his house as Mr. Baumann rips his hair out.
Another flashback happens wherein Mr. Baumann has completed with cleaning his car and he is about to make deliveries using his truck, until he sees 11-year-old Ben running up to battle Dr. Animo and his Mutant Mosquito. Ben remarks about the fact that Dr. Animo only brought one mutant mosquito and transforms into Way Big. Way Big defeats the Mutant Mosquito through crushing it with the palms of his hands by using a clap and the Mutant Mosquito weakly flies away. Way Big picks up Mr. Baumann's delivery truck which accidentally knocks Mr. Baumann's car over and uses it in order to knock Dr. Animo away which sends Animo flying into a wall, and Way Big throws the truck at the Mutant Mosquito as well. It proceeds to fly off into space and orbits Earth. Mr. Baumann gets angry at Ben as Way Big for knocking his car onto its top, causing the glass to break and for throwing his delivery truck into space. He rips his hair out once again. Way Big sees him, says "See ya" and starts running away.
Another flashback happens wherein a teenage Ben is chasing after a DNAlien. He transforms into Big Chill and continues to pursue the DNAlien. Big Chill flies closer to the DNAlien and manages to use his breath to freeze the DNAlien, but freezes Mr. Baumann's car at the same time. After Big Chill transforms back to Ben, Mr. Baumann exits from the coffee shop and yells Ben's name. Ben apologizes and tries to breathe on the frozen car in order to thaw it out. He snatches Mr. Baumann's coffee and pours it on the frozen car. The ice (along with the car) breaks in half and Ben runs away.
The flashbacks end and Mr. Baumann makes Ben deliver packages to the citizens of Undertown without using the Omnitrix as a punishment. After delivering some of them, he goes to a bar. He gives the bartender a package, but Corvo, who is in the bar, panics and runs out, taking a package from Ben instead of his own bag. At an auction, Psyphon auctions Fistina. Then, he auctions a dwarf star in a package that Corvo gave him, but inside is a goldfish. Corvo accidentally swapped the dwarf star with the goldfish. Zombozo, Fistrick, and Trombipulor unite to get the dwarf star. Ben transforms into Armodrillo and chases them off. After Armodrillo transforms back to Ben, he is attacked by Seebik and some Kraaho, but he transforms into Ampfibian and defeats and chases them off. After Ampfibian transforms back to Ben, he later arrives in a junkyard, where he is attacked by Psyphon, Fistina, Seebik, the Vreedle Brothers, Trombipulor, Fistrick, Zombozo, Vulkanus, and Sunder. He transforms into Humungousaur to stop them from getting the dwarf star. He defeats all of them, but Psyphon absorbs the power of the dwarf star.
Humungousaur can't defeat him, so he transforms back to Ben and transforms into Toepick. He opens the cage on his head, revealing his hideous face and scaring Psyphon into surrendering. After Toepick transforms back to Ben, he takes the dwarf star from Psyphon, finishes the deliveries, and Mr. Baumann's car is fixed, but the truck Ben as Way Big threw into space five years ago falls back down to Earth (after Ben as Humungosaur threw Sunder's glider into space, it knocked the truck back out of orbit) and wrecks Mr. Baumann's house. He gets angry, but Ben says, "See ya" and runs away. The episode ends with Mr. Baumann sitting on his recliner in the rain.

Allusions[]
- Thunderpig's opening line to Ben is a play on the famous quote from The Princess Bride: "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
- Thunderpig shouting his name references the cartoon ThunderCats, when Lion-O yells "Thunder...Thunder...ThunderCats! HO!"
- Mr. Baumann's hatred for Ben due to him ruining his shop is similar to Dennis the Menace, the comic strip in which Dennis constantly ruins Mr. Wilson's life.
Errors[]
- In one shot, the symbol on Thunderpig's belt is missing.
- When Way Big knocks Dr. Animo with a truck, the sky is blue instead of yellow.
- When 15-year-old Ben transforms into Big Chill, his Omnitrix makes the sound that usually comes from his current Omnitrix instead of the original Omnitrix.
- One of the incidents that made Mr. Baumann hate Ben is shown to have taken place during Alien Force. However, in The Purge, Baumann said he hadn't seen Ben since the latter was 12 years old.
- After Mr. Baumann puts on Ben's hat, and the screen pans out, the Omnitrix is missing from Ben's wrist.
- When Ben chases the Kraaho, the "10" symbol on his T-shirt is black.
- When Humungousaur swings Sunder's axe, the colors of his Omnitrix symbol are inverted.
Trivia[]
- It is shown the dislike between Ben and Mr. Baumann is mutual. While Mr. Baumann dislikes Ben for receiving property damage, even from unprovoked alien attacks, Ben dislikes Mr. Baumann for blaming him for damage that is either mostly not his fault or unintentional. Ben even states that Mr. Baumann "has issues".
- At the beginning of the auction scene, Zombozo can be heard making a "Your Mom" joke about Vilgax's mother.
- Ben appeared to already understand and fully utilized Toepick's powers, suggesting he had used him before.
- The scene where Zombozo, Trombipulor and Fistrick leave Psyphon's auction and find Ben was storyboarded by Fill Marc Sagadraca.[FMS 1]
