Omnipotimps? That's not good.

Yes they did.

I don't think they get the full powers. But in one of the troll updates we saw the huge, glub-ified imps. So yeah, they do get some of the powers of the original, just not all of them.

Size does not equal power. Physical and aesthetic changes are confirmed, but true abilities are not necessarily confirmed. The glub makes you bleed from every orifice (if you're a troll) the imps we saw were just huge.

The Queen wasn't a problem because she didn't wear her ring, and the King was presumably waiting for them to reach Skaia before he went all out. But why would the Underlings with the glub just use it and kill all of their enemies off the bat?

I'm reasonably certain that it was noted at least twice in the troll arc that prototyping something powerful would and did make the enemies more powerful. Eridan's narration before entering the game said it the most directly, but we also saw it to be the case in the form of an absolutely massive enemy when Nepeta and Equius got together (granted we didn't actually see that thing fight, but there comes a point where size indicates increased power on its own, not to mention all the extra limbs).

No one directly said "this will make them more powerful," but it was both heavily implied and shown to be the case. This would just be confirmation.

Edit: I think for the most part it probably depends somewhat on the level of the individual minion. Pawns and imps probably just get cosplay items. Uber monsters likely receive greater benefits.

Becquerel's prototyping may break some of those rules, of course. I'm guessing they snagged teleportation.

Eh, I mis-phrased that. I should have said 'attributes' of the original.
I think with each prototyping the imps change and grow stronger, based on the attributes and power of whatever the sprite got prototyped with. However, while the ring-bearer feels the full brunt of the changes (which was why the king could GLUB), the effect on the imps will be lesser. Dilute.

I'm guessing the glub-imps either just got physical size and strength, or they got a watered-down version of the glub.

The omnipotimps are gonna have powers similar to bec's (or, well, we know they do, we just saw one use them), but in the same way dilute. They'll probably be able to screw with space quite a bit, maybe do some teleporting, whatever else bec could do, but weaker and more limited. Plus, y'know, they'll be stronger. But their increase in power won't come near to matching that of Jack's.

I'm over-explaining stuff here, but only cause I don't quite know where you're coming from.

Yeah, that's more or less what I'm figuring. Of course, it's entirely possible that all that will happen is we'll see an imp with a fake dog nose and something covering his eyes.

I imagine the Underlings will have some degree of Bec Power, but it'll only pose any real threat to Jade, since everyone else has varying degrees of superpowers of their own, by now.

Hey, a witch startled the witch.

Well that answers that question. Gog damn.

Man people have been waiting for Sunslammer to be used for ages, hopefully this'll satisfy.
