Upgrade

## Gallery

**Upgrade** is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Galvanic Mechamorph from the moon Galvan B in 5 Years Later.

## Appearance

Upgrade has a humanoid shape covered in shiny green metal. Selective parts, including his head and back, are covered in a deep, reflective violet. There are glowing green circuitry patterns over the purple sections. His one eye is detailed with a circuit-like pupil, with no other facial features.

The Omnitrix symbol is located on his left wrist.

## Abilities

* **Technological Possession -** Upgrade can be merged with any type of technology, both electronic and non-electronic, control it and even update it at will. Upgrade can also fuse with sentient beings that are mechanical in nature, such as Chronosapiens.
* **Technological Manipulation -** Upgrade is capable of shifting and controling technology to suit any situation, such as the Rust Bucket, into having armor and heavy weaponry.
* **Shapeshifting –** Upgrade can change the shape of his body, allowing him to stretch his body or mimic weaponry, thanks to the nanoswarm that makes up his body.
* **Enhanced Strength -** Upgrade has immense strength capable of overpowering his enemies (this attribute can even be increased if he is fused with technology).
* **Plasma Beam –** Upgrade is able to fire a plasma beam from his “eye” by energizing his biomechanical blood.
* **Electrokinesis -** Upgrade is capable of discharging electrical currents to stun and immobilize his enemies.
* **Regeneration –** Upgrade can constantly regenerate and repair himself with no pain.
* **Electrical Teleportation-** Upgrade can travel through electrical currents.
* **Machinery Regeneration -** Upgrade can repair damaged machinery easily.
* **Technological Upgrade Division -** Upgrade can separate and release a part of it in technologies and control them without completely merging with technology, akin to duplication.
* **Space Survivability -** Due to being inorganic, Upgrade can survive in the vacuum of space.
* **Technological Transfer-** Upgrade can transfer his consciousness into other machines, but only if it passes through his physical shape.
* **Technological Disruption-** In combat Upgrade can temporerally merge with other machines and disrupt their electronics.

## Weaknesses

* **Electromagnetic Pulses –** An electromagnetic pulse can disrupt Upgrade's physical form.
* **Electricity –** Electricity-based attacks can disrupt Upgrade's techno-organic body because he's living metal.
* **Techno-Organic Viruses –** Since Upgrade is partially technology, he is susceptible to being corrupted by viruses.
* **Acids and intense heat -** Upgrade can be harmed by acids and intense heat, like lava. That's because any kind of corrosive can harm its delicate chemistry.
* **Technological Possession Limit-** Upgrade's control over machines is not absolute, as sapient and intelligent machines can fight Upgrade if he merges with them against his will.
* **Elasticity Limit -** Upgrade can be harmed if pulled and stretched hard enough.
* **Regeneration Limit -** Upgrade will not be able to regenerate if he is continually being attacked.

## History

* In *Chapter 2: The Lonely Ghost (Page 3)*, Upgrade could be seen with Ben's original 10 transformations during Ben's backstory. Later, 16-year-old Upgrade was seen holding the Annihilargh.
* In *Chapter 6: Weightless (Page 23–25)*, Ben used Upgrade to merge with a Plumber Ship after Technus damaged it, saving Kevin and Rook.

## Trivia

* Upgrade is Alex Gautreaux's favorite transformation.
* Upgrade's body is made up of billions of small cell-like creatures called Nanites. The Nanites are what allow Upgrade to reshape and move like a liquid even though he's a solid being.
* Upgrade and other Galvanic Mechamorphs are unable to merge with the Omnitrix due to a failsafe.
