* The Omnitrix from ''[[Ben 10]]'' generates a small field around itself when someone who is not the person who it is currently attached to tries to touch it. However, it should noted that the Omnitrix is neither [[Empathic Weapon|Empathic]] nor [[Loyal Phlebotinum|Loyal]] and only tries to protect itself; in fact, one way you can obtain it is to kill the current user and then take it for yourself.
