This is an incredible take on the mecamorph from our moon Galvan B 👽💚
Well well well! I'm honoured to have my video viewed by such a prominent RUclips channel!
yooo
I think another reason Upgrade works differently from other Mechamorphs is because he’s a glitch. While the Omnitrix can take species with robotic parts integrated into their DNA, they still have DNA in the first place. Mechamorphs don’t, but what they do have are cell-like Nanites, so the Omnitrix likely incorrectly scanned said Nanites, believing them to be actual Cells, thus creating the transformation
And I believe some writers state that each transformation is partially Ben, as in a piece of Ben’s DNA is within every transformation to make sure the Omnitrix has a sample of his base form to revert him into when timing out. This causes glitches within Upgrade, such as him having a voice identical to Ben’s despite all other transformations having unique voices, and not being able to remember Blueprints like other Mechamorphs
And I have to say, Mechamorphs are probably my favorite species in all of Ben 10. They’re so interesting and versatile in such unique ways, they’re basically mechanical gods when it comes to technology. I loved the Retaliator Armor in Destroy All Aliens for the exact reason that it utilized a Mechamorph’s unique versatility. And when Omniverse rolled around, they clearly understood the assignment of what a Mechamorph would be capable of as Malware is easily Omniverse’s best villain
Upgrade relying on Ben's own mind for it's info makes sense, and it's also partially due to the fact that because Nanites are machines that behave like cells, they are unable to completely merge with Ben's being which is why his voice remains the same, albeit with an electronic filter.
Imagine if that was the truth and Malware found out that Ben upgrade is what his perfected and real form looks and work like😂
Malware would be so pissed
@@KirigiriKirinhe would go for his fucking wrist
Mechamorphs are my favorite species in Ben 10 and in fiction generally. I love how unique abilitys they have, basically a Marvel Symbiotes for machines. And if you think about it, they are kinda terrifying, a parasitic lifeform that can merged with technology and use it agaist you and for some species being literally a parasites, until you have some super powers or more powerfull weapon then they aready have or use magic, you are hopeless agaist them and Mechamorphs can easelly conquer some fictional worlds like Star Wars galaxy and many other
They're very fun aliens!
imagine a mechamorph taking over a reaper from mass effect, nuff said there
Reaper Tech is busted as is but it also is corrupting as well then again the mechamorphs are not exactly organic
Or imagine one imof them just taking over the Omnitrix itself.
I mean, Ben could theoretically do it.
Step 1: Transform into Echo Echo
Step 2: Split into two copies
Step 3: One copy transforms back and the other becomes Upgrade.
Step 4: The Upgrade takes over the others Omnitrix
Step 5: See what happens. If the "intrusive thoughts" Theory is true, mine would turn into an Ultimatrix. I just LOVE the concept of the Ultimates.
Another problem of Malware was that he couldn't put together tech that he learned.
If normal Mechamorp absorbs technology, disassembles and than reasembles it back. Malware can't do the last part and because of this tech crumbles away.
Wow I never thought about the fact that Ben originally being another species just straight up gives him an advantage as a Galvanicmechamorph, and because of his imagination giving the ability to upgrade things in3 cooler and more powerful weapons.
Well that explains why Ben can’t use Upgrade to the fullest like other Galvanic Mechamorphs or even Azmuth’s dad using the Mechamorph armor. Although, what would happen if Ben as Upgrades merges with the Mechamorph armor? If the Mechamorph armor has its memory bank filled with the blueprints of other machines, then I’d say that will solve the problem of Ben not being able to use Upgrade to the fullest, although Mechamorph has the side effects of making the wearer more aggressive, which could potentially effect Ben
Such an underrated alien,i mean you have many aliens who have the same power like heatblast and swampfire can shoot fire, bigchill and arcticguana can freeze stuff, and ridiculous amount of electricity aliens, but you dont really get an alien that can manipulate technology, they're so unique, plus they have a sweet design, i get so happy a galvanic mechamorph appears on screen, my favorite for sure
my guy just recolored the omega nanite form gen rex and put it int he thumbnail anyway love the genrex mention
Also, Galvanic Mechamorph DNA can't fully fuse with Ben's own DNA like the other aliens, since it's organic, hence the voice is still the same and the upgraded tech reverts back to normal
upgrade definitely is my favorite among them. he's just cool
What if Wildmutt and Upgrade also escaped the Omnitrix since Wildmutt can’t talk and Upgrade basically has Ben’s voice with a robotic filter and what would his actual voice sound like if he escaped the Omnitrix ?
If Upgrade escaped, I imagine it might have a similar voice to Azmuth, purely because Azmuth created it by creating the Omnitrix
None of the aliens that escaped talked though...
@@DJPrimeAmvs ghostfreak. At least some of the ultimates tho they didn't really escaped the Omnitrix the ultimates escaped the ultimatrix but still. Edit: ghostfreak did escape the Omnitrix I am only typing this because I am sure someone will say something about it.
@@Teaseal8 fair but ghostfreak was his own consciousness, same with the ultimates but that was due to a glitch in the ultimatrix. The aliens that escaped the watch before were like alien zip files that was missing bensys.exe
@@DJPrimeAmvs I haven't seen anything of the shows in a long time so I have no clue what the last one is but fair enough
Fantastic video, Kiri. I loved this explanation of the Mechmorphs. Upgrade is my second favorite alien in the franchise. It would be cool if you did a video on my favorite alien Ditto later down the line. Maybe a video explaining or going in depth on each of the cloning alien's in Ben 10. Ditto's species, The Panuncian, Echo Echo's species Buzzshocks's species, and Slapbacks's species.
I actually already had that video idea in my to-do list! I'd be more than happy to make it sooner rather than later!!! :3
The real canon reason why Ben can't both, A) Needs to cover the whole machine with it's body to "absorb" it, and B) can't keep any memory of previously absorbed machines, is because the Omnitrix works by mixing Thier DNA with the one of whatever species you transform into, this is not an issue for many transformation, but for upgrade the organic part of Ben's DNA stops him from fully merging with the machine
Malware and Bazel are tied asy favorites. Love them both. Ship and Ben are still great, though.
Question, why did you assume galvan b to be hive mind just because the planet is "like a giant machine"? Sure the planet appears to be coated in nanites, but one could argue that our planet could be considered an organic machine considering the massive amount of biological material coating our planet (and that's just counting the single-celled bacteria/archaea!).
I'd like to think that whatever initial formation program with the nanites had multiple programs that acted seperately and formed different structures to replicate the various organisms needed for the Galvan to make their Moon livable. The mechamorph likely emerge due to the fact that there was no energy-expensive (remember that humans have approximately 60% of our nutrients go to neurological function so the galvans likely have similar if not greater energy needs for their brains) organisms to consume whatever was produced by the other mechanical life-forms, so the predecessors of the mechamorphs nanites likely just started consuming whatever products the other nanite-organisms made, thus allowing them to have more complex structure, thus creating an advanced feedback loop that resulted in their present humanoid forms. (and could even be the predecessor of the evolution simulation that's albedo later used to create the ultimates now that I think about it.) Heck, Ship's dog like design just be a larval form that shows what pre-humanoid mechamorphs looked like, similar to how frog larvae (tadpoles) resemble fish more than other land animals.
As for why I'm making this headcanon up on the spot, I think it's just weird for there to be two hivemind machine organisms in the omnitrix (3 if you count the reboot) and I personally don't like the idea of Galvin b being the Great Link 2: electric boogaloo ftom DS9.
But overall, this video is a pretty good jumping-off points for talking about mechanical life-forms and what exactly that even means. Have a nice day!
That's something I thought about too. There's not really anything in the show to suggest there's a hivemind. I thought the reason Ben didn't have full control over upgrade was that he simply can't remember the nano scale blueprints of machines when he turns back into a human because humans can't do that. As for the upgrading being out of his control, I'm not quite sure what he's basing that on but if I had to guess I'd say the omnitrix isn't downloading instincts into his mind properly because it's a machine and also a fairly new species. Related to that, why did Ben never become upgrade when fighting the nemetrix because upgrade is one of the few aliens that can't have a natural predator.
@@Woogoo336 I'm a she, not a he >×
I really like the theories and scientific analysis here, especially since I have my own species made up of tiny nanite-like cells.
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed!!!
Also, if you wouldn't mind, what's the species you came up with? :0
I think it's less that they consumes what ever they posses but just coat it with themselves, and can then manipulate it as they see fit.
To me it's like the Venom symbiote or the blacklight virus, but for metal... also does that mean a mechamorph can bend normal metal even if it is not technology?
I've always found the Mechamorphs similar to the Geth from Mass Effect (more likely the other way around, since I've known Ben 10 way before Mass Effect)
Interesting!
This is SERIOUSLY an awesome video and I love it! I even use this theory with my fanmade lore, so, thanks! This really inspired me.
idea ben 10 vs green lanturn WHO REALLY SHOULD HAVE WON?
i stopped watching deathbattle after that episode because they clearly didn't know what they where talking about.
"way big is strong, but not strong enough to survive a planet exploding!"
"he is powerful enough to destroy a small planet." (waybig on the wiki)...i assume he would be on the planet
"xlr8 is fast but not fast enough to get to the other side of the universe in an hour"
"what about jetray?"
the biggest gripes of this battle was it was so dam obvious that it was rigged.
IF they always say they use the peak of each character in there fights
SO WHY DID THEY USE 10 YEAR OLD BEN, give him A TEENAGE VOICE and give him a bunch of aliens he never had when he was 10
meanwhile they gave Hal time travel and i looked it up HE NEVER HAD THE ABILITY TO TIME TRAVEL ALONE HE USED AN OUTSIDE FORCE TO WIN.
and out of all the aliens in bens arsenal HE USED ALIEN X. that is blatant proof that the dont respect ben as a fighter the omnitrix is a toolbox ben needs all his tools to win the thing i love about ben is that he is always creative...and in this battle he was completely irrational! but they werent trying to make him out that way.
THEN WE GET TO ALIEN X HIMSELF
why? WHY DID THEY MAKE HIM SUCH A PUSHOVER! master control doesn't get rid of belicus and serena! BEN WOULD STILL HAVE TO ARGUE AND BE A STATUE while hal just attacks him to no avail
the ink tank explained it best on how if hal escaped ben then alien x would be able to follow him through the omniverse and finish the job...THEN WE GET TO...THE DAMMED SCISSORS.
Im just gonna say THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS! in the same episode hal tried that at the beginning and it didn't work! THEN 5 MINUTES LATER IT DOES?
i hate this episode not because ben lost BUT BECAUSE OF HOW HE LOST! HAL DIDNT DESERVE THAT WIN!
Here's a Video Idea, Difference between Mechamorph (Ben 10) and Symbiotes (Marvel).
Amazing video I actually always wondered how it worked
Glad I could teach you!
Super simple explanation for what nanites are for people who go to the comments:
nanites: robot animal/plant cells
Baz-el was always completely useless. He had a pretty low level non technical job and prefers to play dead when there's any fighting. He also seemed jealous of Ship since Ship could to a lot of cool things he couldn't do himself.
Ok fair argument BUT Baz-el talks funny.
So that’s why upgrade and generator rex powers work together.
Yeah!
Congrats on the first sponsor
Thank you!
Upgrade isn’t his own character, he’s just Ben in a galvanic mechimorph form
I know but I included him anyway because you can still like his design
@@KirigiriKirin Well even then there is Multiple Upgrade desigins thourgh out the multiple series but I gotta say I really like both Malware and Bazel as charatcers my fav desgin is the classic Upgrade
So if Ben is meant to transform into the IDEAL member of any species, how come he turns into a "corrupted" Mecha-Morph?
Because being "Corrupt" is ideal in this species case.
Toepick is fat, which we wouldn't see as ideal, but clearly his species does.
Different species operate under different ideas of "Optimal"
@@KirigiriKirin Yes but if this is a thing that Malware dislikes about himself, and would probably inspire other Mecha-Morphs to despise about him, then wouldn't it be regarded like ben turning into an alien and getting the WORST member of the species.
@trevjaydendavis3718 I suppose so but at the same time people don't always necessarily *like* what's genetically optimal
@@KirigiriKirinok sir you win
@trevjaydendavis3718 I'm a Ma'am, not a sir
Just have a deep voice lmao
Aside from the... "curious" explanation regarding ants it was a pretty good video
I have a quick question tho. To what extent do you think the omnitrix is involved in upgrade's creations? if at all? We see in the series that it is somewhay sapient and in Uaf it had its own database that manifested aliens
so couldnt it be able to store data of upgrades transformations? or influence them with data it has/ pulled from ben's memories
I suppose it could, but with all the mistransformations and glitches Ben caused by slapping it, I'm not sure I'd trust it with that
Ben messing the UAF Ommitrix causes me to doubt it after that point
What do you mean "manifested" aliens? (other than nanomech) because he is a COMBO of human & nanite DNA
Where'd you get the notion of Ben being unable to control his upgrades? Is it the scene in DAA? I always took that as the thing he was upgrading being able to override him.
This is a really good video
Thank you!
First off! You are dead wrong to be un-proud of this video. It’s great! And explained greatly!

Can you make a video fixing,improving,improvising & revamping the abilities/powers of underated,underutilised,overshadowed & outclassed aliens like ripjaws,ditto,blitzwolfer,wildvine,spitter,stinkfly & fasttrack arctiguana please?
I have never thought of an ant queen like that. Thx for ruining The Ant Bully for me
LMFAO
Dont look at them exactly as nanites, thats whats confuses you, there more of biomechanical cells forming a multicellular biomechanical organism...
i changed my name again i was Rampage Gaming then Black_White and now Fusiest
Good to see you again!
one problem I'm still having. How does a Mechamorph have DNA if they're a machine?
That's gonna be resolved in an upcoming video!
Galvanic mechamorph sounds kinda like……
Galvanized and you know what is a common follow up to that word?
Square steel but you know what else goes well with galvanized square steel? Eco friendly wood veneer
But what goes with eco friendly wood veneer are screws,from your aunt maybe
I don't think ants are a great analogy
Nannites are more like cells
True!
i feel like the nanites could change between types
Nanites like that one other funny show that had a monkey
Wh…
Why did you describe ants like a hentai?
Better question, my dear friend:
Why not?
@@KirigiriKirin you know what?
Based!
@@KirigiriKirin💀
7:10 how do we "know" he cant choose what upgrades he gives machines? How??
He has been surprised on several occasions by the upgrades he gets
@@KirigiriKirinWhile that is a very good point, what if he just didn't get enough experience using his ability to properly choose his upgrades? While he did use Upgrade quite a bit, I at the very least can't remember him ever trying to train his abilities with the alien. Although I haven't really seen very many episodes, so I may have just missed it.
Scene in the 3-D movie I believe "Destroy all Aliens" where he was suprised by how he upgraded something.
how about that weather we've been having?
1:54 - 2:03 ayo?
What is your background music ?
Robot Rock by Daft Punk!
Eh, I feel the "replaces atoms of the machine it merges with" explanation is a little overly complicated. I think the simplest explanation is just that the nanites merge with the machine on a less in depth level and the upgrades are formed both by the nanites moving parts of the possessed machine around and the mechamorph itself using its mass to become part of the new machinery, like Jury Rigg fused with Goop pretty much.
7:10
well thats just blatantly false, Upgrade just cant use forms from things hes possessed later because the information is stored in his (robot) genetic code. which is reset when Ben stops being Upgrade.
Malware has a genetic fault where he can't generate energy internally, and he can't merge with or detach him self properly from any kind of tech. So anything with energy or advanced tech is destroyed by him.
I said in the video that Upgrade doesn't store forms.
@@KirigiriKirin
yeah its just that you got the reason wrong. That's all.
Fair enough! Thank you for correcting me >x
Bro you are really speaking too fast
Don't forget that there are other people to who are not english speakers so please speak slow so that I get all the word cause I'm not able understand every word
I do try to speak slowly but I just naturally talk fast!
Sincere apologies, I'll try to do better!!
Hope you're having a good day
Thank you Tyler! I hope you are too x

It was I
@@Camocreeper5040 DIO
You'd be surprised how many people asked
Two things the galvanic mechamorphs also have going for them
They're apparently technorganic
And theres this one mechamorph in alien force that mentions something about him having a stomach
Which is pretty cool
