Ben 10

Cannonbolt

Cannonbolt is the Omnitrix’s DNA sample of an Arburian Pelarota, a race of wide, large-bodied aliens with plates attached to various points on their bodies. Their bodies can retract into a sphere like an armadillo, with armor pointing outwards, allowing them to spin rapidly to traverse surroundings or strike enemies at high speeds. He was the first alien Ben unlocked after the original ten, enabling the expansion of Ben’s alien arsenal. Cannonbolt played a vital role in saving the planet from the Great One, a massive tick-like alien that drained life from planets, by penetrating its armor and destroying it from within. He became a mainstay in the original series, replacing Ghostfreak in the opening after Season 2, and made major appearances in every classic series thereafter. Cannonbolt excels at ramming into things at high speeds, combining top-tier durability with fast movement and powerful hits, making him one of Ben’s best all-rounders.
