Upgrade: Redesign — Description

Here's the second Alien remake: Upgrade. Upgrade is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Galvanic Mechamorph from Galvan Prime's moon, Galvan B. In this version, Upgrade looks more mechanical for a Mechamorph, however, he can separate from his mechanical parts.
Here's the second Alien remake: Upgrade. Upgrade is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Galvanic Mechamorph from Galvan Prime's moon, Galvan B. In this version, Upgrade looks more mechanical for a Mechamorph, however it can separate from its Mechanical parts.

Due to being comprised entirely of nanites, Upgrade is completely amorphous. His humanoid form can reshape and move like a liquid does.

Upgrade has the ability to merge with and possess any technology by encasing his liquefied body over it. The size of the device is not significant and he controls it as naturally as he would his own body. When he merges, his black and green circuitry pattern spreads across the technology's surface to fit its proportions; although he also has the ability to perfectly replicate the technology's original colors.

Upgrade can also telekinetically move and control any piece of technology he is possessing, but that is not attached to his main body, even while possessing something else as well. He can also speak through what he is remotely possessing.

Upgrade's technological possession can work on non-electrical machinery, such as a row machine in a gym. His ability even extends to sentient beings that are mechanical in nature, like Chronosapiens; or, at most, organic beings with some machinery integrated within them, such as Rojo and Rex.

Upgrade only needs a part (or extremity) of his body to touch a piece of technology to begin possessing it, as shown with the grapple cable of Rook's Proto-Tool. He doesn'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 Mechadroid and Rex.Upgrade can also make his head or face appear from anywhere on the machines he possesses.

Upgrade's DNA is "programmed" with blueprints and intimate knowledge of every alien technology. This allows him to enhance any tech he is possessing into "ultra-tech", making it far more advanced and futuristic beyond human capability, and causing new features to form. After he separates from the machine, it returns to normal.

Upgrade can transform the technology he is possessing with seemingly no limit, such as upgrading a baseball pitching machine to produce a seemingly infinite number of baseballs; and transforming vehicles like the Rustbucket and Kevin's car into battle-ready machines and mecha-suits. He can also reconfigure his constructs at will to suit any situation, from summoning arsenals of heavy energy weapons and extra limbs, to change their shape completely. If Upgrade possesses a computer or control terminal, he can read local information from it, hack it, and manipulate it to execute commands as he wishes, even over entire networks. Upgrade has demonstrated this by assuming control of Gwen's laptop; a video game console; and the entire Plumber Headquarters. If given external empowerment, Upgrade can transport itself and organic creatures into the world of a video game, and vice versa. While inside, he can change and manipulate the game's code just by thinking it.

Once merged, Upgrade is capable of destroying and dismantling machines. Upgrade 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. He is also able to restore manipulated or conjoined technologies back to their original states.

Due to his nanite liquid-like physiology, Upgrade can pass through all sorts of small spaces, can be bisected any number of times with no harm done to him, and easily rejoin any separated pieces of himself.

In its humanoid form, Upgrade is also very flexible, and can stretch itself 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. He can also alter his own size, as demonstrated by a Mechamorph Guard. On top of modifying the shape of his humanoid form, Upgrade can extend from any part of his 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.

Upgrade can use his shapeshifting to form various weapons and tools from his body, both while in his humanoid form or when possessing technology. He has been shown forming tentacles, spikes and spiked maces.

In having a vast library to draw upon, Upgrade may be able to mimic and shapeshift into technology without needing to possess it, as well as non-electrical items, as demonstrated by Ship and a Mechamorph Guard.

Upgrade can generate solid constructs made of his nanites, such as pillars and spikes, as demonstrated by Malware.

By energizing his biomechanical blood, Upgrade can launch a powerful green plasma blast from his eye. The blast can also explode on contact or be made to create a delayed spherical explosion at their target destination, as demonstrated by other Galvanic Mechamorphs.

Upgrade can generate electrical charges capable of shocking his opponents into submission. He can also conduct these charges throughout his body.
Upgrade possesses enhanced strength, being able to throw a sewer lid at a Nosedeenian, push Vilgax off of a ship, and overpower Dr. Viktor.
Upgrade is durable enough to stand a blast from the Proto-Tool without physical damage.
Being inorganic, Upgrade is able to survive in the vacuum of space. Upgrade also doesn't need to breathe underwater, as shown by Malware.
Upgrade is immune to being transformed into an Esoterica by Dagon, and can use his body to shield others from the same, as demonstrated by Ship. Upgrade is also resistant to fire and strong heat.
Due to being technological, Upgrade possesses digitized vision. His circuitry also glows in the dark.
Upgrade is capable of transmitting distress signals, as demonstrated by Ship. Upgrade is also able to store people or objects within his body, as demonstrated by Malware.
Upgrade has the ability to manipulate the environment of Galvan B.
Upgrade is able to spawn smaller animalistic Mechamorphs, as shown when Baz-L spawned Ship. However, it is only possible to do so once he has absorbed an animalistic Galvanic Mechamorph.
Upgrade can travel through electrical currents.
Upgrade has also been shown generating energy-based constructs, such as a green energy spike and a beam of light that can harm an Ectonurite. Ship has been shown to be able to track down the Omnitrix and Plumber Badges.
Additionally, he has now gained Mechanical Parts that enhance his strength. While they do limit his fluid movements somewhat, this allows Upgrade to become a battle machine. Upgrade, of course, can detach from his mechanical body parts to become Flexible and Fluid. His mechanical parts have Self-Awareness, for example, when they see a machine or weapon, they scan it, transforming into a similar machine, matching the Upgrade who has posseses a machine.
Upgrade can also dissolve his body in water, thus increasing his flexibility, and his mechanical parts can transform into a mechanical replica of the Toothless, thus becoming an underwater machine. Upgrade can memorize a specific code that remains in his hand even after the user withdraws from the transformation. Upgrade can also fire energy bolts from his hands thanks to the Mechanical Armor on his wrists.
