Upgrade Chip

Upgrade is the Codon Stream's DNA sample of a Galvanic Mechamorph from Galvan Prime's moon, Galvan B.

Upgrade has black skin with green lines that resemble circuitry all over him. The green circle on his head is his eye.
Upgrade wore white clothing on his front torso and the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol is on his chest.

In Ultimate Alien, he has green and black stipes where the white was in the original series.

Upgrade has the ability to reshape himself, as he can turn to some sort of mechanical solid at will. His internal nanotechnology allows for Upgrade's primary ability to merge with and 'possess' any technology within reach by spreading over it like solid, enhancing it far beyond its original design. The size of the device is inconsequential. While merged with a device, Upgrade controls it as he would his own body. Upgrade can reconfigure his form around his eye in order to fire a plasma beam from it. Upgrade is also capable of forming simple constructs from plasma, such as spikes and also partially posses a machine to enhance his lasers. He can phase through metal and technology. As shown in Be Afraid of the Dark, Upgrade can survive in a vacuum. Upgrade can reform after being blasted, as shown in Midnight Madness after being shot by police and was shown to be able to gently float in air similar to a parachute in Secrets. In Ultimate Alien, he is shown to be able to upgrade technology much faster, doing it nearly instantly.

Upgrade cannot possess natural creatures. He is weak against electricity (being living metal) as shown in Tourist Trap when he was battling the Megawhatt. Also, being made of metal, Upgrade's body can be affected by magnetic fields.
