Upon arriving on Earth, the creature shows the ability to incorporate any kind of machinery or technology into its body, allowing it to increase in size & mass. It can also gain the characteristics of that technology that it has 'assimilated' into its body. First shown taking over a remote controlled car, it is later shown taking over other technology in an electronics store before been engaged by HEAT. The creature eventually flees, but with a severed piece of its body taken by HEAT for study. humanity will pretty much wipe itself out and only machines will be left.
