Cannonbolt is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Arburian Pelarota from the destroyed planet Arburia.
Appearance
Ben as Cannonbolt
Cannonbolt is a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural, yellow armor 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.
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.
In the original series, Cannonbolt had sharp teeth, yellow eyes, and wore the original Omnitrix symbol on his forehead.
In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Cannonbolt's teeth became fuller and human-like teeth, the black stripe on his chest was gone, his eyes were recolored green, and he wore the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
In Omniverse, Cannonbolt regains his black stripe from the original series returns, 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.
16-year-old Cannonbolt wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, while 11-year-old Cannonbolt wears the original Omnitrix symbol (which has been recolored green) on his forehead to reflect his original appearance.
Ben 10,000 as Cannonbolt
Ben 10,000's Cannonbolt looked similar to his 10-year-old self, but with a different color scheme for the legs, which sported a black pants-like design. His claws were longer and outlined in grey, his eyes were closer to his shoulder armor, and the Omnitrix symbol was higher up, being on the top of his head rather than his forehead.
Gwen 10 as Cannonbolt
Gwen 10 as Cannonbolt looks similar to Rollaway, albeit the markings on her eyes are upturned, similar to an eyeliner. She has feminine lips, freckles, a hair clip on her left side, pink eyes and a cat symbol-shaped Omnitrix on her chest. Her skin is lavender, while her bolts and lips are purple. She has black markings on her torso and pelvis in a similar design to a bikini. Her bolts are also smaller than Ben's Cannonbolt and Rollaway.
When curled into her shell, Cannonbolt looks just like Rollaway in his shell.
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)[pop-up 1][1] and can increase his rotational momentum to slam into and/or run over enemies.
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.
Cannonbolt seems to be capable of perceiving his surroundings despite his eyes being covered and encased inside his sphere form.
Despite his top-heavy body, Cannonbolt has enhanced reaction time, 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.
Cannonbolt possesses enhanced strength, being able to fight on par with enemies about his size.[2] He can also break free from traps made of Lepidopterran slime.[3]
From inside his shell, Cannonbolt can withstand twice the heat of reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.[pop-up 2][4] Similarly, his shell is resistant to acids and lava.[5]
Cannonbolt's shell can deflect lasers, even when not in sphere form.[6] Because of this, he is practically invincible 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.[7]
Cannonbolt is able to be empowered by electrical abilities, such as those of a Gimlinopithecus. That way, he can gain much more power and momentum when in sphere form.[8]
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.[pop-up 3][1] 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.[7]
Cannonbolt can emit some sort of odor, which people housed in his spheroid form can find repulsive.[6][9]
