Cannonbolt

Cannonbolt is the Codon Stream's DNA sample for an Arburian Pelarota from the destroyed planet, Arburia.

Appearance
Cannonbolt is a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural, yellow armor plating on its back, shoulders and the backs of his arms. He is mostly white with black on his upper half. Each hand of his possesses claws. He originally had sharp teeth. Cannonbolt wears the Omnitrix symbol on his forehead.

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien he now has full teeth and they are now human-like. Also he no longer has the line on his chest that he did before. He wears the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

Sphere Form
When Cannonbolt turns into a sphere he rolls up into a ball with his back plates coving him. His side plates are the plates on his hand. His shere form has half a circular lines across his body with black lines around his circle plates.

Powers and Abilities
Cannonbolt's shell can withstand acids, lasers, lava and even a G-force drop from space without any harm to the inside of the ball.

Cannonbolt can roll into a ball like an armadillo or pill bug to encase itself in this plating. There is enough space within the shell while rolled up to protect and transport other fairly big things.

When in the form of a rolled-up ball, Cannonbolt can increase his rotational momentum and roll into enemies as an attack, as well as ricocheting himself off of surfaces.

Weaknesses
Cannonbolt is subjected to the physical laws of reflection and conservation of momentum, meaning that he has difficulty stopping or controlling its direction if it picks up speed. Also, if Cannonbolt is on a sticky enough surface, he can't get up, as seen in Video Games.

Trivia

 * Cannonbolt was supposed to be one of the original ten aliens in the Ben 10 series, but was later replaced by Diamondhead.
 * Cannonbolt's weaknesses are that he can roll much faster than he can walk and he is so heavy that he tends to fall down a lot and a sticky adhesive can render Cannonbolt defenseless.
 * In the original series, Cannonbolt could not walk that far, but in Ultimate Alien, he is shown to walk faster and for longer distances but still relies on his ball form.

 * Cannonbolt's shell was orignally going to be green.
 * In the original series Cannonbolt has yellow eyes and his Omnitrix symbol is on the top of his forehead, but in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien he has got green eyes and his Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol is on his belly.
