Juryrigg

This article belongs to the Classic Continuity

Juryrigg is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Planchaküle from the planet Aul-Turrhen.^{[merchandise 1]}

Appearance

Juryrigg is a small, red alien who bears a close resemblance to a goblin. He is small in stature, only about as big as a human head.

In Ultimate Alien, Juryrigg wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

In Omniverse, Juryrigg now wears an aviator's outfit which comes with an ascot. His skin tone has changed from orange-red to a more crimson-red and is much smoother. His eyes now have black pupils, his ears are now spiked, and his nose is bigger. He also has a spike on his chin and one near each of his eyes. The Omnitrix symbol is now on his waist.

Personality

Juryrigg has a strong desire to break and remake machines, making him difficult to control.

Juryrigg has a mischievous (and twisted) sense of humor, as seen when he turned Will Harangue into an alien as punishment for all the smear campaigns and crimes he committed against Ben and other aliens.^[1]

Juryrigg has several catchphrases, such as "Juryrigg disassemble!", "FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX!", and "Reassemble, disassemble!"

Juryrigg has the ability to completely disassemble any kind of machinery in mere seconds, fitting to his Gremlin appearance. Despite it being harder for him to do due to his craving to destroy things, Juryrigg can also construct complex machinery from scratch at a similar rate.

Juryrigg has enhanced strength for his size, being able to break both a metal car brake in half^[2] and some metal bars that even an Appoplexian could not break.^[3]

Juryrigg has a degree of enhanced durability, as he was able to withstand being thrown against a destroyed food truck by a stone creature.^[4]

As in accordance with his break it/fix it attributes, Juryrigg boasts an impressive intellect, describing himself as "smart and stubborn".^[1]

Weaknesses

• Small Size
• Uncontrollable Habit

Juryrigg's small size makes him unsuitable for hand-to-hand combat against larger opponents,^[4] unless they happen to be machines, in which case, he can dismantle them in seconds.^[5]

As mentioned above, Juryrigg has a near uncontrollable habit of breaking and assembling machinery.^[2]

Like his name, most of the devices Juryrigg creates are basically on-the-fly or 'jury-rigged'. They are not normally meant to last and will eventually fail. Juryrigg's creations can also be unstable and hard to control, much like Juryrigg himself. The only exception to this is the Tenn-Speed.^[6]
