Cannonbolt (Anime)

## Appearance

### Ben as Cannonbolt

Cannonbolt is a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural, yellow armour plating on his back, shoulders, and the backs of his arms. He is mostly white with black on his upper half and has four claws on both of his hands, having a color scheme and claws similar to that of a panda. Cannonbolt is covered in fur across the thickest parts of his body, while every other part except for his elbows and knees is short fur.

When Cannonbolt turns into a sphere, he rolls up into a ball, with his backplates and the plates on his hands covering him. His sphere form has semi-circular stripes across his body, with black lines around the circular plates, and his side plates are the plates on his shoulders. It is described as a position similar to a roly poly.

In *Omniverse*, Cannonbolt regains his black stripe from the original series, which now goes down to his belly/chest. His eyes are no longer connected to his shoulders, his palms are now flat instead of bulging, the yellow bolts on his body are now hexagonal and there are three plates on his back instead of two. Depending on the episode, Cannonbolt's teeth is either dull or sharp like his previous series' designs.

16-year-old Cannonbolt wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, while 11-year-old Cannonbolt wears the original Omnitrix symbol (which has been recoloured green) on his forehead to reflect his original appearance.

## Powers and Abilities

Cannonbolt can curl into a ball, encasing himself in his plating. In general, the Arburian Pelarota species mostly used this maneuver for defense, like an armadillo. However, since Ben did not know about this when discovering Cannonbolt, he weaponized Cannonbolt's originally defensive capabilities.

When rolled up, Cannonbolt becomes like a motorized wheel that can move at great speed (because of chemicals in his exo-plates that reduce friction) and can increase his rotational momentum to slam into and/or run over enemies. Cannonbolt is able to maneuver around his surroundings in ball form thanks to the short fur on his body, registering shifts in air and motion around him. Between that and his excellent hearing, Cannonbolt receives something akin to echolocation - giving him "eyeless" vision.

Cannonbolt can ricochet and bounce off surfaces like a pinball in sphere form, suffering little-to-no loss in momentum.

Cannonbolt can use his sphere form to increase his agility by quickly opening up his ball shape while airborne, create shockwaves, and spin into a fierce tornado.

Despite his top-heavy body, Cannonbolt has enhanced reflexes, dexterity, and balance, allowing him to quickly change in and out of ball form to suit his immediate needs.

Cannonbolt can house people and fairly large objects within his spheroid form and provide them the same level of protection that he have.

Cannonbolt possesses enhanced strength, being able to fight on par with enemies about his size. He can also break free from traps made of Lepidopterran slime.

From inside his shell, Cannonbolt can withstand twice the heat of re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Similarly, his shell is resistant to acids and lava, as well as cold temperatures of places such as Mykdl'dy, and can withstand the plasma generated by members of Ball Weevil's species.

Cannonbolt's shell can deflect lasers, even when not in sphere form. Because of this, he is practically nigh-invulnerable when curled into a ball.

Cannonbolt is capable of withstanding the vacuum of space, but he still needs to breathe. Without an oxygen supply, Cannonbolt is limited to holding his breath.

Cannonbolt can be empowered by electricity, such as those generated by a Gimlinopithecus. This way, he can gain much more power and momentum when in sphere form.

## Weaknesses

Cannonbolt is subjected to the physical laws of reflection and conservation of momentum, meaning that he has difficulty stopping or controlling his direction if he picks up too much speed.

Cannonbolt's bipedal form is top-heavy, making him very unbalanced and clumsy. This is because Arburian Pelarotas are made to spin, not walk. However, he can still manage to use his sphere form to enhance his agility.

Cannonbolt's large body makes it hard for him to move in small spaces, such as in vehicles like the Proto-TRUK.

Cannonbolt can emit some sort of odour, which people housed in his spheroid form can find repulsive.

Cannonbolt can be trapped by strong adhesives, such as those used by the Stalker. Similarly, he can be held in place by beings with as much strength as a Chimera Sui Generis.

Cannonbolt cannot roll on slippery surfaces, such as puddles made of a Murk Gourmand's slime.

Despite his shell being resistant to extreme heat while re-entering Earth's atmosphere, Cannonbolt can still suffer a mild amount of pain from the force of impact.

Unlike his shell, Cannonbolt's skin is not heat resistant.

Cannonbolt has a weakness against magic, as shown when he was constrained by Adwaita.

Cannonbolt can be incapacitated by electricity, such as that generated by a Transylian.

In his uncurled form, Cannonbolt can be controlled by a Vladat via their Corrupturas.
