He has a short temper and is armed with a meteor blaster.^[2] His favourite quote is "I don't need your money. I work for the thrill.".

Notes

On the box image his body armour is red but on the Toy Fair pictures it is black. In reality it is Dark Red.
He doesn't have teeth on his upper jaw on the box picture as he does on the Toy Fair picture and in set form.
This is the only non-titan villain that does not have Ben 10 leg parts.
His armour doesn't cover his entire upper arms.
On the box picture he holds the sword from its middle unlike the set form, where he can only hold it in its tip.
He and Von Nebula are the only 2010 villains that don't contain stickers.
Part 61807pb02 is Exclusive to this set.
XPlode is voiced by Jeff Glenn Bennett.
