Cannonbolt is an alien that's a lot cooler than he looks on the surface. The fact that Ben didn't like him at first and didn't learn how to use him effectively right away helped make him stand out too.
@@antonisnicolaou9212 and thank fuck for that decision, if there was any alien from the classic roster that was perfect for the eleventh spot then it was Cannonbolt. Grey Metter is a really close second
@@Actionfan19 Fun fact: Cannonbolt was actually supposed to be one of the main 10 aliens in the original series, but got replaced by Ghostfreak at the last minute.
I read somewhere that Arburian Pelarota's just curl up into a ball while facing threats, they don't ram them or anything. Ben is the only one who weaponized Cannonbolt's ability.
@@RavenCloak13 Probably because Cannonbolts species were a non combative society until the tick came along, and since they never engaged in combat before they never utilized their abilities like Ben does. I can see them rolling into their shell as a defensive option, not a combative one.
@@Arsonist_Clown Ah. I see. And well, he did let himself get eaten to to kill the thing which even if they did try and fight back, most wouldn't think to go inside first to try and kill it.
The fact that Cannonbolt's species only had the power to roll like a ball and Ben using him so creatively shows there's a lot more to the awesome Panda man
@@asterix1912he's an amalgam of the three, Roly poly, Armodillo and Panda, evenn though he's been compared to a panda for a longer time since Pandas also curl into balls to roll, i think the Panda inspiration was stated somewhere by the directors
@@farofa2843 interesting. I personally don't see the panda part of him at all. The color scheme of black and white doesn't really mean anything because a lot of Ben's aliens have the black and white outfits/patterning on their bodies. I do see some armadillo but I mostly see the pillbug inspiration for him. If I had to pin him down as something, I would say he is an insectoid species.
@@asterix1912 I'd say that too, the Panda part is mostly for his size and color scheme, but the ball shape leans much more into pillbugs and Armodillos.
There is something about this alien: He's probably more popular than half the O10, he's appeared in every series, and he has a pretty consistent design. He's alien-looking, and he stays alien looking even in the reboot. He comes back, he stays back, he's nearly always relevant. He's special in a way few forms are.
@@jamescheung4771 I don't think he ever had something like that in Omniverse. I assume you're referencing something from the reboot, which if so is only something they reboot did.
I can’t help but love this guy. I’m pretty sure many others are in a similar position. But I used to have beef with him, mainly his ability. When I was younger, I was always confused how he could see or turn when he was rolling.
I always thought cannonbolt was a opposite to ghostfreak in the og. Ghostfreak was instantly loved by ben, super powerful and always brought a eerie presence along with him, but eventually he turned against ben and escaped the watch. Cannonbolt instead was a questionable alien ben took time to come around on but proved to be one of his best and most reliable aliens in almost every situation while also feeling like a genuine hero. Even the fact that his species died out was because they were peaceful and had no clue how to effectively use their strengths until the parasite showed up should say something.
My top 5 best and awesome quotes from Cannonbalt: 1. "Oh yeah, I don't you have been introduced to Cannonbalt" 2. "Oh yeah, is scarying being as good." 3. "New game, is called dodgebrawl" 4. "Don't bet on it" 5. "Time to kick rock n roll"
Okay, the one you had from Secret of the Omnitrix isn't bad, but you really missed the moment where Cannonbolt declares "I've come too far! I've lost too much!"
Honestly I think Cannonbolt's return in the Alien Force Season 2 Finale was the peak of the entire franchise, it never quite managed to recapture the magic after that.
One of the 5 most useful aliens used by Ben the most during serious fights of inhibiting more action moments from season 2-4 alongside Four Arms Diamondhead Heatblast and XLR8.
Think for the fact Ben went into this guy in alien force, having that honor of being one of the og aliens to return, when it could have been someone like Heatblast or four arms or diamondhead Truly his cream of the crop
As a British person I can confirm he does not sound like us, but we sound like him. We have the power to roll into balls and hurt people just like Cannonbolt.
cannon bolt is one of my fave aliens of all time his voice is amazing too and and he didnt like him at all then when he learnd how to use himefectly as he did he is just an amazing and i got excited when he would transform into cannon bolt
i like cannonbolt because he always kicks butt. like there is almost no instances of him being actually defeated or ineffective because very few things respond well to being run over by that
My favorite Ben 10 alien. He was and still is one of the most unique powered aliens with only the power of rolling. But he was still really cool and strong.
Please do great quotes for Grey Matter, Stinkfly, Ripjaws, Upgrade, Blitzwolfer, Snare-oh, Ditto, Echo Echo, Big Chill, Brainstorm, Goop, Water Hazard, AmpFibian, Shocksquatch, Ball Weevil, Kickin Hawk, and Astrodactyl.
I gotta say, it's awesome that cannonbolt started off as a very aggressive alien, (im sure due to Ben's aliens go brrr like attitude as a kid, which is what definitely made him cooler) and in alien force/ultimate alien, he sounds somewhat more calm and educated, again most likely due to Ben's more battle and educational experience at that point. It's amazing details like that, i love
I think cannonbolt is up there as one of my top three favourite aliens. My top three are heat blast, cannon bolt and diamond head. Four arms is fourth, I just think heatblast is most iconic for me and diamond head just kicks ass
The only thing i can dislike about Cannonbolt is he took Ghostfreaks spot amongst Ben's 10 selections. Still wish we could have Gostfreak as an option. He was my favorite.
We need more Shows like this Again. Were the Main Character has multiple Powers and uses them in creative Ways or to outsmart his Enemies. There are Games like Persona or other Shows where you can get very creative with this. Breath of Fire for Example the Main Character can transform in different Dragons, now that would be interesting to watch as a Show.
I always found it weird that ben seemingly unlock canonbolt out of nowhere, but I recently re-watched the entire series and noticed that his specie was wiped out a few days before he was unlocked Considering the omnitrix is basically Noah's arc, I'm pretty sure it was unlocked in hope of sometime rebuilding the specie
Wouldn't canonbolt be like, Ben's most proficiently strong alien to use? It's durable, mobile, and it has very high destructability. He's not that versatile for certain situations. Though if the writers add momentum physics and logic to the situation, Cannonbolt would definitely be the most unstoppable and dangerous alien to come across in battle. I'm just here being geeky about him... XD
