Upgrade is the Infinimatrix's DNA sample of a Galvanic Mechamorph from the moon Galvan B in Ben 10: Protector of the Omniverse. He is the Timeline 1 equivalent of the canon Upgrade.
Appearance[]
Upgrade has his Heroes United appearance, but he is more muscular and has a metallic shine. His line patterns have also been redesigned slightly. His feet stick out more.
Transformation Sequence[]
Ben slams down the Infinimatrix's dial and is engulfed in a green light.
As the transformation track begins playing, Ben hovers in a dark green background with light green bubbles pulsating rapidly behind him and crouches. Ben's left arm is encased in black and green, which spreads to his torso and back, forming irregular line-like patterns colored green. Ben's eyes close and disappear, before a green slit appears in their place, becoming ring-shaped. His toes combine into one and his feet become boot-like. The Infinimatrix symbol pops out of his chest as the last of the patterns form on his torso. Upgrade spreads his arms and balls his fists, completing the transformation.
Powers and Abilities[]
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 liquified 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.
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.
Upgrade only needs a part (or extremity) of his body to touch a piece of technology to begin possessing it. 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. 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 enhanced 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; transforming vehicles 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 changing their shape completely. If Upgrade possesses a computer or control terminal, he can hack and manipulate it to execute commands as he wishes, even over entire networks. If given external empowerment, Upgrade can transport himself and organic creatures into the world of a video game, and vice versa. Whilst inside, he can change and manipulate the game's code as he wishes.
Once merged, Upgrade is capable of destroying and dismantling machines. Upgrade can also repair damaged machinery with ease and come out unscathed. 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 his humanoid form, Upgrade is also very flexible, and can stretch himself 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. On top of modifying the shape of his humanoid form, Upgrade can extend from any part of his body cable or hand-like structures.
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.
Upgrade can generate solid constructs made of his nanites, such as pillars and spikes.
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.
Upgrade can generate electrical charges capable of shocking his opponents into submission. He can also conduct these charges throughout his body, though only those which he generates; his body cannot conduct electricity from external sources.
Upgrade possesses enhanced strength.
Upgrade is durable.
Being inorganic, Upgrade is able to survive in the vacuum of space. Upgrade can also breathe underwater.
Upgrade is also resistant to fire and strong heat.
Due to being technological, Upgrade possesses digitalized vision. His circuitry also glows in the dark.
Upgrade is capable of transmitting distress signals. Upgrade is also able to store people or objects within his body.
Upgrade has the ability to manipulate the environment of Galvan B.
Upgrade is able to spawn smaller animalistic Galvanic Mechamorphs. 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. Ship has been shown to able to track down the Omnitrix and Plumber Badges.
Weaknesses[]
Upgrade's control over machines is not absolute, as sapient, intelligent machines can easily fight off Upgrade if he merges with them against their will. He may also be unable to override existing security systems.
Upgrade can be forcefully separated from technology.
When possessing technology, Upgrade is able to falter in producing constructs exactly how he had envisioned them.
Upgrade can be hurt if he is pulled and stretched hard enough.
Upgrade can be powered down by a Repo Boot.
Upgrade is sensitive to electromagnetic pulses/fields and magnetic fields.
Upgrade is vulnerable to having his energy absorbed, which leaves him petrified afterwards.
Being a swarm of nanomachines, Upgrade is weak against electricity, such as that generated by Nosedeenians and Conductoids.
Upgrade is weak against acid and intense heat such as lava. This is because any sort of corrosive can upset his delicate chemistry.
Upgrade can be controlled by Vladites via their Corrupturas.
Upgrade can be trapped in crystals by Petrosapiens.
Upgrade can be affected by technorganic viruses and a Nemuina's sleeping dust.

Appearances[]
Trivia[]
- Credit to Echoson for the infobox image and the image in the gallery.
- Throughout his appearances, Upgrade's voice sounds essentially the same as Ben's albeit through a speaker. The reason for this is because Galvanic Mechamorphs cannot "upgrade" living tissue, thus making the merge with Ben's DNA incomplete.
- Upgrade has his Heroes United voice.
