Tim 10 is the first comic in Joyrides, the second graphic novel of Ben 10: Omniverse. A sneak peek was also included in Halloween Special.
Synopsis
Ben's aliens seem to be causing all kinds of trouble in Undertown. But Ben doesn't remember doing any of it...or changing into the aliens at all. Something's not right, but what? Ben better find out before his reputation is ruined for good![OV 1]
Plot
The comic starts with Timothy using his Omnitrix to illegally get two skateboards without paying, by turning into Skateasaurus while the team watch him on TV alongside Max, Blukic and Driba. The team manages to find Timothy who is using Four Arms to do graffiti. Ben turns into Wildmutt to stop him, but Four Arms quickly punches Wildmutt who then turns into Four Arms, but Rook is unable to see Ben transforming, so he accidentally shoots Ben using his Proto-Tool before apologizing.
Timothy returns home and decides to leave his pizza delivery job. In a flashback, Timothy delivers pizza to a house of aliens. The aliens don't pay him, so he steals a device (which turns out to be his Omnitrix) and runs off. In Khyber's base, Dr. Psychobos expresses anger that Timothy stole one of his Omnitrix prototypes, designated Prototype 71.
Timothy goes to the aliens' house and turns into Heatblast to intimidate them, and then into Upchuck. One of the aliens tries to use a gun but Upchuck eats it and then turns into Bloxx. Ben, who is also Bloxx, arrives and punches Timothy before he can do any harm. Timothy turns into XLR8. Ben turns into Diamondhead and stops him.
The team then goes to Max with Timothy. The aliens from earlier are revealed to be officially licensed contractors, but they are actually stealing things from the customers that cross their paths. Ben suggests throwing them in jail, but Max tells him that there isn't a reason for them to do that because of them not having stolen any belongings from Earth. Timothy says that they stole pizza from him, but Max tells him to stay quiet for causing a lot of trouble with the Prototype 71. The team then decides to free Timothy.
While drinking Smoothies, Rook asks Ben if he is comfortable with the decision regarding Timothy. Ben replies by saying that Timothy is just a kid who got a new toy to play with.
