Galvanic Mechamorph (Classic)

The Galvanic Mechamorphs,XyleneThe Visitor sometimes shortened as Mechamorphs, are a technological alien species accidentally created by the Galvan from Galvan Prime's moon, Galvan B.
==Appearance==
Galvanic Mechamorphs are a techno-organic species with a gel-like body composed of small cell-like creatures called nanites.Game Over They have a green color scheme and have one cyclopean eye in the center of their face. Their bodies are covered entirely in a circuitry pattern that can vary from Mechamorph to Mechamorph. A Mechamorph's eyes can change shape depending on their emotion, such as pointing downwards in feelings of anger, or upwards in feelings of sadness or surprise.
Galvanic Mechamorphs can come in a variety of forms, some of them resembling animals, and some appearing as trees and other plants. They can also be thin, tall, robust, wide and even more "obese".
Some Galvanic Mechamorphs can come in different colors. For example, there was a blue Galvanic Mechamorph seen in the background in Ben 10,000 and a white one in Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix.
As they come in various shapes and forms, the large variety of silhouettes make it difficult to distinguish female Mechamorphs from males. The sole confirmed female Mechamorph has head proportions much more in line with that of a human, with a developed forehead and chin. She also has a more voluptuous figure and a comparatively shorter torso. Her legs were much longer than most of the males, but like other Mechamorphs, her arms reach past her knees.

==History==
The Galvanic Mechamorphs were first brought to life as a complete accident. Galvan B was originally an uninhabited moon, orbiting Galvan Prime. Galvan scientists, led by Azmuth, were originally working on a project to make Galvan B habitable, but it went farther than intended when a sentient new species came to life. It didn't take long before the first Galvanic Mechamorphs came to join the galactic community and meet their creators in person. Azmuth and the Galvan were surprised by the unexpected result of their experiment on Galvan B. Deciding they had no right to continue their colonization project, the Galvans allowed the Galvanic Mechamorphs to have their home. With the Galvans' help, the Galvanic Mechamorphs built a great civilization within days.
The Helix also created Malware, an incomplete Mechamorph by accident whose life code was corrupted and interrupted during creation.
The Galvan and Galvanic Mechamorphs are peaceful neighbors.

Due to being comprised entirely of nanites,Game Over Galvanic Mechamorphs are completely amorphous. Their humanoid forms can reshape and move like a liquid does.
Galvanic Mechamorphs have the ability to merge with and possess any technology by encasing their liquified body over it. The size of the device is not significant and they control it as naturally as they would their own body. When they merge, their black and green circuitry pattern spreads across the technology's surface to fit its proportions; although they also have the ability to perfectly replicate the technology's original colors.Permanent RetirementBen 10: Destroy All Aliens
A Galvanic Mechamorph's technological possession can work on non-electrical machinery, such as a row machine in a gym.The Alliance Their ability even extends to sentient beings that are mechanical in nature, like Chronosapiens;It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Ben World: Part 1It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Ben World: Part 2 or, at most, organic beings with some machinery integrated within them, such as Rojo and Rex.Ben 10/Generator Rex: Heroes United
Galvanic Mechamorphs only need a part (or extremity) of their body to touch a piece of technology to begin possessing it, as shown with the grapple cable of Rook's Proto-Tool.Something Zombozo This Way Comes They don't need to completely inhabit technology to begin possessing it, and can in fact phase right through them without disturbing the integrity of their surface, as shown with a MechadroidSecrets and Rex. Galvanic Mechamorphs can also make their head or face appear from anywhere on the machines they possess.
A Galvanic Mechamorph's DNA is "programmed" with blueprints and intimate knowledge of every alien technology.Divided We Stand This allows them to enhance any tech they are possessing into "ultra-tech", making it far more advanced and futuristic beyond human capability, and causing new features to form. After they separate from the machine, it returns to normal.
Galvanic Mechamorphs can also telekinetically move and control any piece of technology they are possessing, but that is not attached to their main body, even while possessing something else as well.Framed
Galvanic Mechamorphs can transform the technology they are possessing with seemingly no limit, such as upgrading a baseball pitching machine to produce a seemingly infinite number of baseballs;Last Laugh and transforming vehicles like the Rustbucket and Kevin's car into battle-ready machines and mecha-suits.OTTO Motives They can also reconfigure their constructs at will to suit any situation, from summoning arsenals of heavy energy weapons and extra limbs, to changing their shape completely.Road Trip Rumble If a Galvanic Mechamorph possesses a computer or control terminal, they can read local information from it, hack it, and manipulate it to execute commands as they wish, even over entire networks. Upgrade has demonstrated this by assuming control of Gwen's laptop; a video game console; and the entire Plumber Headquarters.The Final Countdown If given external empowerment, Galvanic Mechamorphs can transport themselves and organic creatures into the world of a video game, and vice versa. Whilst inside, they can change and manipulate the game's code just by thinking it.
Once merged, Galvanic Mechamorphs are capable of destroying and dismantling machines. They can also repair damaged machinery with ease and come out unscathed, as demonstrated by Azmuth when he used the Mechamorph Armor to absorb the pieces of the destroyed Rustbucket and reassemble them anew. They are also able to restore manipulated or conjoined technologies back to their original states.
Due to their nanite liquid-like physiology, Galvanic Mechamorphs' bodies are very mobile and hard to pin down. They can pass through all sorts of small spaces,Midnight Madness can be bisected any number of times with no harm done to them,From Hedorium to Eternity and easily rejoin any separated pieces of themselves.
In their humanoid forms, Galvanic Mechamorphs are also very flexible, and can stretch themselves very far. Upgrade was able to stretch his body's width to the point of acting like a parachute to save himself from a fall. They can also alter their own size, as demonstrated by a Mechamorph Guard.The Ultimate Sacrifice On top of modifying the shape of their humanoid form, Galvanic Mechamorphs can extend from any part of their body cable or hand-like structures, as demonstrated by Malware. Upgrade once used both of these powers to mimic the shape and body structure of a Tetramand, complete with the extra pair of arms.
Galvanic Mechamorphs can use their shapeshifting to form various weapons and tools from their body, both while in their humanoid form or when possessing technology. They have been shown forming tentacles, spikes and spiked maces.
In having a vast library to draw upon, some Galvanic Mechamorphs have been able to mimic and shapeshift into technology without needing to possess it, as well as non-electrical items, as demonstrated by ShipPet Project and a Mechamorph Guard.
Galvanic Mechamorphs can generate solid constructs made of their nanites, such as pillars and spikes,Showdown: Part 2 as demonstrated by Malware.
By energizing their biomechanical blood, Galvanic Mechamorphs can launch a powerful green plasma blast from their eye.Tourist TrapBe Afraid of the Dark The blast can also explode on contact or be made to create a delayed spherical explosion at their target destination, as demonstrated by several members of the species.
Galvanic Mechamorphs can generate electrical charges capable of shocking their opponents into submission. They can also conduct these charges throughout their body.Ken 10
Galvanic Mechamorphs possess enhanced strength, being able to throw a sewer lid at a Nosedeenian; push Vilgax off of a ship; and overpower Viktor.
Galvanic Mechamorphs are durable enough to withstand a blast from the Proto-Tool without physical damage.
Being inorganic, Galvanic Mechamorphs are able to survive in the vacuum of space. They also don't need to breathe underwater, as shown by Malware.
Galvanic Mechamorphs are immune to being transformed into an Esoterica by Dagon, and can use their body to shield others from the same, as demonstrated by Ship.The Ultimate Enemy: Part 1 Galvanic Mechamorphs are also resistant to fire and strong heat.
Due to being technological, Galvanic Mechamorphs possess digitalized vision.Side Effects Their circuitry also glows in the dark.
Galvanic Mechamorphs are capable of transmitting distress signals, as demonstrated by Ship.Pier Pressure Galvanic Mechamorphs are also able to store people or objects within their bodies, as demonstrated by Malware.
Galvanic Mechamorphs have the ability to manipulate the environment of Galvan B.Showdown: Part 2
Galvanic Mechamorphs are able to spawn smaller animalistic Mechamorphs, as shown when Baz-l spawned Ship. However, it is only possible to do so once they have absorbed an animalistic Galvanic Mechamorph.
Galvanic Mechamorphs can travel through electrical currents.
Galvanic Mechamorphs have also been shown generating energy-based constructs, such as a green energy spikeSide Effects and a beam of light that can harm an Ectonurite. Ship has been shown to able to track down the Omnitrix and Plumber Badges.

==Naming and Translations==
==Etymology==
The name Galvanic Mechamorph is a portmanteau of the prefix "mecha-", meaning machine, and the suffix "-morph", meaning form or transform. The "Galvanic" portion of their name refers to their origin as a creation of the Galvan.
==Trivia==
*When first mentioned by name, Xylene erroneously referred to the species as "Glavanic Mechamorph".
*Some Galvanic Mechamorphs have plant-like forms or animal-like forms like Ship.
*Galvanic Mechamorphs have no natural predator due to the nature of their creation. 
*The nanites that a Galvanic Mechamorph's body is comprised of are not related to the ones seen in the Generator Rex Universe.
*Galvanic Mechamorphs do not wear clothes, partly because they are artificial life that do not need them, and because they are considered rare and very beautiful by people of the galaxy that know of them. In Derrick J. Wyatt's opinion, the only Mechamorph that would wear clothes is Baz-l, despite him being naked during his appearances in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien.
*The Omnitrix has failsafes installed by Azmuth that prevent Galvanic Mechamorphs from tampering with the device.
*Galvanic Mechamorphs could probably fuse with Microchips.
*When asked why the Galvanic Mechamorphs featured in Omniverse were all green, Derrick speculated that the Mechamorphs that stayed home on their moon were monitored and tended to by Azmuth, and as Azmuth upgraded the Mechamorphs, their colors and circuitry patterns grew and changed. Other Mechamorphs that left their moon for outer space would look different.
