==Explanations==
Canti can take x-rays, fly and has a greater physical prowess than humans. He has shown himself capable with guns in episode 5 of FLCL. As stated above, when synced with Naota, Canti transforms into a cannon and fires Naota like a bullet. When using Atomsk's power, he turns red and his abilities are heightened, making him faster and stronger.
In episode 6 of Progressive, Canti helped Hidomi to overcome her inhibitor by letting her speak with her mother. He was used as a communication device along with Aiko, her potted plant serving as a transmission catalyst. His screen could receive both visuals and sound from her despite being a great distance away. He was also taunting Hidomi with glasses symbolizing Ide later on, suggesting he can store humans other than Naota, though that may have been Atomsk using his body.
The newer models seen in Alternative use metal weapons such as flails, pipes and spiky bats in combat. They strategize differently, depending on the threat level, with only one unarmed robot attacking Haruko while she was unsuccessfully drilling on the iron's surface, whereas many armed robots attacked when Haruko was helping Kana activate her N.O. to teleport the iron. They are also durable enough to break Haruko's guitar over time.
