'''Upgrade''' is the [[Omnitrix]]'s DNA sample of a [[Galvanic Mechamorph]] from [[Galvan Prime]]'s moon, [[Galvan B]].

==Appearance==
  
−
Upgrade has a black exterior with green stripes that resemble circuitry all over him. The green circle on his head is his eye, which glows whenever he talks.
  
−  
−
In the [[Ben 10|original series]], Upgrade wore white clothing on his front torso and the [[Omnitrix (Original)|Omnitrix]] symbol was on his chest.
  
−  
−
In '''''[[Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens|Destroy All Aliens]]''''', Upgrade looks the same except for the fact that he has more of a metallic shine, making him look more like a machine.
  
−  
−
In '''[[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien|Ultimate Alien]]''', Upgrade has green and black stripes where the white was in the original series.
  
−  
−
In '''[[Ben 10: Omniverse|Omniverse]]''', 16 year old Upgrade wears the [[Omnitrix]] symbol inside the ring of his eye and he is more muscular. His circuit pattern has changed slightly. He sounds like teenage Ben, but has a robotic tone in his voice that is similar to [[Malware]]'s.
  
−  
−
11 year old Upgrade looks exactly as he does in the original series, save for a green Omnitrix symbol and his neck being longer.

Upgrade is not completely solid, as he can be both liquid and gelatinous. Due to this, he can reshape himself to let projectiles or blows pass through him by creating a hole in his body at will.

Upgrade can use his internal nanotechnology to merge with and possess any technology by encasing himself 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, he upgrades the technology, making the technology he possess far more advanced and futuristic and causing new features to form on it. It was shown in ''[[Road Trip Rumble]]'' that Upgrade can reconfigure technology to suit for any situation, like transform the [[Rust Bucket]] into a battle armor with an arsenal of heavy energy weapons, or even retractible robotic manipulator arms. Possessing technology allows him to transform it with seemingly no limit, such as merging with a baseball launching machine and turning it into a tripod-like robot that fired a seemingly infinite amount of baseballs, while the moment he un-merged with it, it returned to normal. He can also make his head or his face appear anywhere on the machines he possesses.

Occasionally, he can merge with organic beings, as long as there is machinery integrated within them, such as with [[Rojo]] and [[Rex Salazar|Rex]] or beings that are mechanical in nature like a [[Chronosapien]].
