Ben 10,000 (B10K) was established by Elghin Hebrado in 2015. The reason why Elghin brought it up was because he wanted to see what the future of Ben 10 hold on. He really love Ben 10 and the franchise so much. He wanted to continue the Ben 10 community, the love of Ben 10, and the passion to bring a vision and purpose to make a B10K Franchise. He know that B10K is not a new word but rather a common word for Ben 10,000 to identity and many fans also used the word, "B10K" for a long time. He was also determined to bring the classic community after he learned that Ben 10 was back but it was a reboot at the time. He also wanted to merge B10K Franchise with the Ben 10 Franchise so the story can go on and make more Ben 10 to rise again. And he wanted to honor the fans who used B10K before and would represent them into the framchise. It wasn't the first time for him to bring up a franchise or a series. Back then in 2012, when Ben 10 Ultimate Alien came to an end and the following sequel, Ben 10 Omniverse would air, Elghin decided to make a fifth series and his own series that is following the events after Ben 10 Omniverse or a universe to cross with Ben 10's. So, he already had worked on a Ben 10 fifth series and a B10K series back in 2015. But since then, he had not taken it seriously and often abandoned or dropped or hold up and in fact, he stopped watching and looking on Ben 10 due to his maturity and entering his first year of high school. But when he realized that he cannot destroy his love of Ben 10, so he decided to bring back to his life and he checked it up few times for a year or two. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, he decided to make something fun for Ben 10. Until he decided to go back where he used to be crazy for Ben 10....but in a humble and understanding way. He wanted to get inspirations and he still do look at inspirations. But when people began to make their own series, franchise, draw their own, or more, Elghin knew that it was an amazing time to see people to bring back with Ben 10 into their hearts as I do. But at the same time, one of the reasons why B10K Franchise set up is because of the people' love, their ideas, their own work/effort into, and the passion. As he wanted to see B10K Franchise to follow up from the events of Ben 10 Omniverse and the future of Ben 10. So, he have one of his visions and he wanted to make the tone to mixed up with a lighter tone - (comedic, adventurous, action, and more) and a darker tone (maturity, issues, language, and more) to make the series as PG-13 or something like that. He knew that it would be a benefit for the older generations who already watched Ben 10 when they were younger but at the same time, he felt that it would be interesting to observe the younger generations but he prefer to have PG-13+ to keep the series going on and to honor the legacy of the franchise. He also wanted to have the desire to make B10K more futuristic, modern, organic, more popping, more tech-like, and energetic. He intend to follow the story to continue from the Ben 10 Franchise and he will also plan to add more stories to involve with the story. He also want to make, use, and follow the developments for the B10K Franchise and the B10 Franchise. He plan to put the episode with Ben 10,000: in the reference to Friends, Elghin's one of his favorite shows and he also wanted to have Ben 10,000: to add more exciting and more sense to him. As long he still see B10K as a good thing. To wrap it up, he feel that the B10K Franchise would be amazing to see! So, the B10K Franchise was born. - Elghin H. "IT'S HERO TIME! - B10/B10K" :)
