Evolution is cause by mutation, yes, but Malware's corrupted state is due to the Helix shutting down during his creation, not any natural mutations. If anything, Malware was less evolved than a normal Mechamorph.

As for how I'd design it, if I knew, I probably would've made my own version already. Upgrade is kind of a hard alien to work with as far as evolution design goes, since his powers are about upgrading things. An evolved form would just be him doing that but better. I guess I'd go with something that makes it look like Upgrade...got an upgrade, so to speak.
