Nanomech (Universe 3008)

## Nanomech

**Nanomech** is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Mechsquito from the bottomless neon-lit chasms of the planet Cybertron, coming from "545".

## Appearance

In his "true", main or adult form Nanomech resembles a green-winged, silvery human-like robotic insectoid with four fingers, one cyclopean eye and toes that split into three.

In his secondary, alternative or infant form Nanomech resembles a cross between a house fly and mosquito.

In both forms various transparent spots on his body are visible making him harder to spot at a glance.

## Powers and Abilities

* Bio-Electrokinesis - Nanomech can manipulate all sorts of bio-electrical currents created by one's biofield.
* Size Alteration - Nanomech can reduce his size at will, even to microscopic scales. He can return to his original size, but cannot grow any larger than that.
* Flight - Due to his pair of wings, Nanomech is capable of flying at high speeds.
* Hyper Adaptability - Nanomech's body instinctively improves itself to suit his current situation whether he's in combat or otherwise, such as when Gwen knocked back Nanomech with a mana attack but when she launched a second one Nanomech was unfazed, as his body immediately adapted to withstand mana attacks.
* Ability Mimicry - Nanomech has the ability to mimic his opponents' abilities and attacks, altering his physiology in the process (if needed).
* Technopathy - Nanomech has a deep connection with technology, being able to diagnose and identify problems at a glance within all sorts of complex machinery.
* Hivemind Control Immunity - Nanomech can withstand hivemind control.

## History

* Nanomech first appeared in Alien Swarm where his DNA was obtained when Ben dropped 545's inert body on the Omnitrix's hourglass, sampling it's DNA. He was later used by Ben to enter Victor Validus' head and destroy queen Vespa, compromising her Mechsquito hive's attempt to take over the world.

## Notes

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Within the Prime universe's canon, no specific Mechsquito/Nanochip is ever given as Nanomech's genetic donor.
2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Being a Mechsquito from Cybertron, Nanomech does not have DNA in the traditional sense. Instead he has an analogous material commonly known as CNA (Cybernucleic Acid).
3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 This is an unique ability to Nanomech not met within any other Mechsquito, as the Omnitrix prevents him from being taken over by the volition of a Mechsquito queen (such as Vespa).
4. ↑ Nanomech's exact nature is dubious, within the Prime univerese's canon that is. When he first appeared in Alien Swarm he was noticeably different from all other Mechsquitos/Nanochips, as if he was of an entirely different kin, something noted by Gwen herself. The card included with Bandai's Nanomech action figure refers to him as both a Nanomechion from the "hive" planets and a unique creation of the Omnitrix, fusing the bio-mechanical DNA of the Mechsqutios/Nanochips with Ben's Human DNA (which also server as the genetic representative for the Human species within the Omnitrix). The possibility that the Omnitrix could create an entire new species was both marvelous and rule-breaking (as the Omnitrix is supposed to be a back-up drive for all (sentient) life in the universe, not a DNA blender). Despite Elena and the Mechsquitos/Nanochips making a reappearance in Ultimate Alien (in a rather shoddily-made Yandere filler-arc), Nanomech wasn't even mentioned or used, let alone getting any info about his unique nature. It wasn't until Inspector 13 that the Techadon computer classified Nanomech as an unknown bio-mechanical organism, despite Nanomech (allegedly) being part human, and the Techadon computer being able to identify inter-species hybrids such as Kevin (and that's another sack of potatoes). I've chosen to make Nanomech a Transformer-like alien feeling it would've helped tie better all of these inconsistent views about him and his species.
5. ↑ This ability of Nanomech (and by extent of any other Mechsquito) has a drolly origin. Initially i was quite frustrated that i was unable to remove the background from the original image without leaving these transparent spots, then i remembered that various insects have the innate ability to blend-in with their surroundings due to their color pallette resembling that of their surroundings. It was a perfect fix for my little technical inconvenience and i also liked the idea very much which made me implement it right away.
