Geocache Description:

This cache is one of the ten alien caches in the Ben Ten Series. The full alien list is Diamondhead, Fourarms, Ghostfreak, Heatblast, Grey Matter, Ripjaws, Stinkfly, Upgrade, Wildmutt and XLR8. Fuller details about the series can be found on the listings for "Ben Tennyson” and "The Omnitrix”

Upgrade is a Galvanic Mechomorph (mecho- meaning machine and -morph meaning shape) of the moon Galvan B, which orbits Galvan Prime. Though originally uninhabited, Galvan B was accidentally brought to life when Galvan scientists introduced self-replicating nanotechnology to the moon, which bonded with the moon's minerals and created sentient life. Upgrade is composed of nanotechnology, allowing him to reshape his body at will. This makes restraining or harming him difficult, as he can "melt" to avoid either and will quickly regenerate from any damage taken. Upgrade can also merge with other technology, earning his name by upgrading it far beyond its original design as long as he is merged with it. The size of the device is inconsequential. While merged with a device, Upgrade controls it as he would his own body. Even without a machine at hand, 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. Upgrade's weakness is his specialization: being technology-oriented, Upgrade cannot possess biological creatures, and sentient or more powerful robots are harder for him to control. Upgrade's liquid-metal composition can also work against him, namely where electrical attacks are concerned. Furthermore, any sort of metal corrosive can upset Upgrade's delicate internal workings and wreak havoc on his systems.

This cache is on a public footpath that can be muddy, so boots or Wellingtons are recommended, especially if doing the full circuit. Please ensure the cache is properly camouflaged after being replaced. Also remember to take note of the number on the top of the logsheet as you will need it to find “The Omnitrix”
