Bootleg

This article belongs to the Reboot Continuity

Bootleg is the AntiTrix's DNA sample of a mutant Galvanic Mechamorph from the moon Galvan B.

Appearance

Bootleg has a black torso, arms, and legs and blue wrists, feet, and shoulders. He has blue stripes that extend from his body, resembling circuitry, and two large spiky balls on his back. The red dot on the front of his head is his eye.

The AntiTrix symbol is on his chest.

Powers and Abilities

Bootleg shares the same abilities as any other Galvanic Mechamorph.

Due to the alterations Kevin made to the AntiTrix, however, Bootleg is most likely much more powerful than Upgrade.

Unlike Upgrade, Bootleg can merge with technology that is already merged with another Mechamorph, such as when he merged with the Rustbuggy while Glitch was already merged to it. If his body is damaged or taken over, he can become an smaller form, ditching the rest of his body.

Weaknesses

Bootleg shares the same weaknesses as any other Galvanic Mechamorph. For example, he is vulnerable to the electrical attacks of a Fulmini.

Due to Kevin's alterations to the AntiTrix, Bootleg is too powerful for the inexperienced Kevin to currently utilize to the fullest.

History

Bootleg first appeared in Franken-Fight, where he upgraded the Rustbuggy before being defeated by Shock Rock, resulting in the Rustbuggy turning into a monster. He later teamed up with Shock Rock to revert the Rustbuggy back to normal.
In Xingo Nation, Bootleg inadvertently gave Xingo a power-up.
