Upgrade is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Galvanic Mechamorph from Galvan Prime's moon, Galvan B.
Appearance
Upgrade has a predominantly plum-coloured exterior with a violet torso and thighs. He has purple stripes that extend from his body, resembling circuitry; the circle on the front of his head being his eye.
As a toddler, Upgrade still looks the same but in smaller size as well as having a younger voice.
Upgrade wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
Powers and Abilities
Upgrade is not completely solid, as he can alternate between the forms of a liquid and a gelatinous being. 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 possesses far more advanced and futuristic and causing new features to form on it. He can also destroy the technology he possesses.[1]
Possessing technology allows him to transform it with seemingly no limit, such as merging with the Rustbucket and turning it into a space ship, while the moment he un-merges with it, it returns to normal. He can also make his head or his face appear anywhere on the machines he possesses.
Upgrade is able to upgrade the Omnitrix to permanently enhance his other aliens.[2]
Due to being made of living metal, Upgrade is able to regenerate himself.
Weaknesses
Upgrade is weak against electricity (being living metal).[3] He is sensitive to electromagnetic pulse/fields and magnetic fields.
As a toddler, Upgrade can not completely merge with technology but could if he is stretched long enough.[4]

Trivia
- Upgrade still appears in the opening for the first 20 episodes of season 2, up until Half-Sies, despite being removed from the active playlist by this point and Shock Rock having been introduced.
- Upgrade can fire a purple laser from his eye in the video game.
- Unlike his original counterpart, Upgrade speaks with a voice that is different from Ben's.
- Theoretically, since Glitch has been removed from the Omnitrix, Ben could possibly reobtain Upgrade if he scans a Galvanic Mechamorph, but he has not learned how to scan DNA as of yet.
