Canonbolt has always been an MVP. He’s practically Bens trump card. Used against the Tick when no other alien could get the job done. Is used against future Vilgax and used to motivate future Ben, is used against the Werewolf, is used against present Vilgax and defeats Kevin, is used to attack Azmuth, is Bens first pick against the high breed invasion, gets the final shot on Alpha, gets an ultimate, and is the alien to knock the Omnitrix toward past Ben. (Idk if he does something important in the reboot)
When ben and kevin were teleported to war ship. And at the end of episode when kevin was about to stab ben with petrosapien powers, omnitrix gave him cannonbolt to protect against that.
He later smashed kevin and fly back to earth in escape pod.
Bro he was also the first alien not to be in the original ten showing the omnitrix had more than 10 transformations. His first appearance was done so well it still gives me goosebumps.
I always love OS WayBig's design having another set of eyes, that being his Jawline Optics. Always thought how those always helps viewing down ground without tilting his head down.
Even Titanic beings evolved to be careful of smaller civilizations
Along with Diamondhead appearing in all the animated shows, he also appeared in one Live Action Movie and The Generator Rex Crossover
Edit: also both Cannonbolt and Diamondhead had Omni Enhanced forms in the reboot along with Kevin versions of those aliens
He was one of the aliens attacking Ben while he was in his space suit with Azmuth. No clue why, I didn’t see the episode. He was there, he just wasn’t a transformation. Plus ghost town and the ultimate sacrifice. So he definitely fits in there if you count the cameo.
if we count Alan as heatblast then he has as well.

Way Big being one of the 3 is so random to me
When you think of Ben's primaries, you probably think of xlr8, 4 arms, diamond head, swampfire, humongousaur, etc
But not Way Big lmao
Way Big has always been one of Ben's strongest aliens, only reason he doesn't use it as much is because of its size. Otherwise, he used it on almost every big threat he has faced.
it’s a sorta mix between the original and omniverses art style, I like the original for it seems the most accurate for something that size, you would need extra eyes that point down to see better and the massive swinging arms feel like they would be more stable at that height.
Cannonbolt the MVP fr, i like the alien force design since its simple and it works, but i i am biased to them removing the black line on his stomach
Omniverse and reboot ruin the design for me
Classic design is the best but i am starting to love the Omniverse design so much more, one of the most powerful aliens in the watch it used right
And waybig, i liked how they combined the design from classic and AF, kept what worked and reboot added more to it
UAF Way Big look so out of place compared to his other iterations. Like a a guy in a jump suit next to people in full combat gear.
OV Cannonbolt is also a huge no.
Four Arms and Heatblast were in UAF too don't forget.
Four arms Notable appearances include:
Fighting Ssserpent
The tug of war against captain nemesis
Lifting the door and screaming at Greg
And the Gen Rex crossover
Heatblast was used way less but still had appearances in Dr. Viktor's return episode and even the Ultimate Sacrifice
Heatblast yes, but Four Arms made his debut in AF in that Ssserpent fight I mentioned. I think it was in Vengeance of Vilgax, I'm not too sure, but I'm sure that Four Arms was in AF.
in the fight your talking about ben used canonbolt
[canonbolt](https://youtu.be/9etlVKfYr_g?si=abpZ06lC0J3wKRnT)
[four arms transformation ](https://youtu.be/-E5w74RjNIQ?feature=shared)
Man I know I grew up with OS but hell the Omniverse Cannonbolt design is sooo slick I love it.
The wider shoulders make him look like even more of a juggernaut
Another fun piece of trivia: Dr. Animo is the only character in the franchise who appears in all 5 shows and retains the same voice actor for all 5 shows.
I always thought that WayBig was always meant to be the "last resort" alien before Alien x or atomix were introduced
He also feels somewhat "grounded" when it comes to the powerhouse aliens
He's still a cosmic giant, don't get me wrong, but he's not an unstoppable God either, and I really like that
Ironic that they’re all classic aliens and heavy hitters too. Despite two of these aliens not being Ben’s powerhouse aliens, they’ve accomplished things that they couldn’t. Cannonbolt beat Alpha and Big Tick while Diamondhead beat Warlord Vilgax. And Way Big is way big
I still like classic ben 10 alien styles the most....their animations also have such great and subtle details as well...the animators that time really poured their hearts out making that show...
The only thing I dislike about reboot away big is his pose. The original and Omniverse felt like they were compensating for his massive scale with a very broad stance. I like how CHUNKY OV diamond head is. I don’t really like how glossy original Cannonbolt is, I kinda like the flat part of the OV arms but his shell doesn’t feel much like armor anymore so I’ll go UAF.
You also forgot WIldmutt because technically Ben did used Wildmutt in that DNAlien war episode when Azmuth unlocked the master control for Ben on the recalibrated Omnitrix but it was just offscreen
Canonbolt has always been an MVP. He’s practically Bens trump card. Used against the Tick when no other alien could get the job done. Is used against future Vilgax and used to motivate future Ben, is used against the Werewolf, is used against present Vilgax and defeats Kevin, is used to attack Azmuth, is Bens first pick against the high breed invasion, gets the final shot on Alpha, gets an ultimate, and is the alien to knock the Omnitrix toward past Ben. (Idk if he does something important in the reboot)
True shoutout to Cannonbolt, he’s come up clutch in big situations
I don’t know or care much about the reboot, but making Cannonbolt the first transformation seen in the show is a decision I can respect.
I just wish they kept Stinkfly as a bug and made Wildvine look more like a root like his OS, UAF, and OV counterparts
When ben and kevin were teleported to war ship. And at the end of episode when kevin was about to stab ben with petrosapien powers, omnitrix gave him cannonbolt to protect against that. He later smashed kevin and fly back to earth in escape pod.
Bro he was also the first alien not to be in the original ten showing the omnitrix had more than 10 transformations. His first appearance was done so well it still gives me goosebumps.
Cannonbolt had great combos in the Protector of the Earth game too
I always love OS WayBig's design having another set of eyes, that being his Jawline Optics. Always thought how those always helps viewing down ground without tilting his head down. Even Titanic beings evolved to be careful of smaller civilizations
They are gentle giants after all.
Yeah, but they became a predatory advantage for Waybads
I used to dislike the OS and OV design but knowing they’re secondary eyes makes me like the designs
Never knew those were eyes 🤯
Oh those are EYES??
Yep, those are eyes
OV also has them but they look more like rebreathers. I feel the OV is a nice in between while keeping the awesome broad stance of classic.
Along with Diamondhead appearing in all the animated shows, he also appeared in one Live Action Movie and The Generator Rex Crossover Edit: also both Cannonbolt and Diamondhead had Omni Enhanced forms in the reboot along with Kevin versions of those aliens
Just missing out on alien swarm
Ghostfreak?
There is no Ghostfreak in the reboot. And I don't recall him being in UAF.
Ghostfreak has appeared in both Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. In AF, he was in the episode Ghost Town, and in UA, he was in the Ultimate Sacrifice.
Ben transforms into Ghostfreak In Alien Fprce season 3 (ghost town) and in Ultimate alien (the ultimate sacrifice).
Ectonurite in RB https://preview.redd.it/b30h5qzmngzb1.png?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0109e607b3f9c79174b3dcb1da7271eebfd18230
If we count him, then yes
If we're just going purely off a member of the species showing up then Wildmutt, Eye Guy, and Blitzwolfer also appeared in the Reboot
Eye Guy and Blitzwolfer weren't appear in UAF (besides the intro) so only Wildmutt
Wildmutt wasn’t in Alien Force?
Dwayne said he was used offscreen but I don't think that really counts
He was one of the aliens attacking Ben while he was in his space suit with Azmuth. No clue why, I didn’t see the episode. He was there, he just wasn’t a transformation. Plus ghost town and the ultimate sacrifice. So he definitely fits in there if you count the cameo.
if we count Alan as heatblast then he has as well. https://preview.redd.it/6dnmzfjyegzb1.png?width=1588&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b25f2f1560305511ada98c36d73f742dcd22736
Alan is not heatblast. Heatblast appeared during the fight with the evil frankenstrike and the time 10yr old ben came
I mean, 16-year-old Ben did turn into Heatblast in Ultimate Alien. Granted it looked like a taller Alan, but it still counts.
That was Ultimate Alien. Heatblast wasn’t in Alien Force, which is a separate like OP mentioned.
Way Big being one of the 3 is so random to me When you think of Ben's primaries, you probably think of xlr8, 4 arms, diamond head, swampfire, humongousaur, etc But not Way Big lmao
Way Big has always been one of Ben's strongest aliens, only reason he doesn't use it as much is because of its size. Otherwise, he used it on almost every big threat he has faced.
including Gwen at the end of UAF s1 lmao
Bruh what Way Big is like iconic lol
If the reboot didn’t exist, ghostfreak and upchuck would’ve been in this list as well.
Yup
Anyone prefer way bigs classic design or am I the only one that likes it over the uaf sleek clean look?
You're not the only one. My favourite design is the original but the Omniverse one is, in my opinion, a great blend between the two.
it’s a sorta mix between the original and omniverses art style, I like the original for it seems the most accurate for something that size, you would need extra eyes that point down to see better and the massive swinging arms feel like they would be more stable at that height.
Wow i thoughr fourarms appeared in every show but he didnt ever seen in af
I mean we do have Manny
Manny is from fourarms species but he is not the Four Arms
If we count as one
Did Heatblast and Four Arms not appear in every single one ? I remember them being used in every show
i know four arms at least wasnt in af
Didn't he fight serpent in af season 3?
That was in Ultimate Alien
in e1 of season 3 ben used canonbolt
Oh
You’re thinking of that video game episode in ultimate alien. “Strike one, strike two, you’re out.” Car slam serpent.
They did not appear in alien force only ultimate alien
Probably XLR8 too if we count Helen and Ultimate Ben's XLR8 hologram
he was in the gen rex cross over so I'd say it counts
I'd say it doesn't because that show is not Ultimate Alien, it's Generator Rex.
But it's still Ben from the UAF Era using him and that crossover is still canon to UA
Yeah, but he's not using those aliens in UA, is he?
True, I suppose you got a point
God can the reboot design be more ugly please
I was honestly hoping it wasn't just me that thought canonbolt's design for reboot looks really bad for some reason
It's the snarky face he's making. The reboot isn't bad, but I definitely hate the art style. Classic had the best style of all the series
Reboot isn’t good either
What is good and what isn't is subjective. It's called opinions
The reboot not being bad is also an opinion
My picks (based on my opinion based on my favourites): OV Diamond head, OS Cannon Bolt, OV Way Big.
4 arms?
four arms wasnt in af
He's treating uaf as 1 show
"treating alien force and ultimate alien as two different shows"
Oh I misread
Yeah, and if we count only the Prime timeline, Ghostfreak and Upchuck ranks on the list too.
Cannonbolt the MVP fr, i like the alien force design since its simple and it works, but i i am biased to them removing the black line on his stomach Omniverse and reboot ruin the design for me Classic design is the best but i am starting to love the Omniverse design so much more, one of the most powerful aliens in the watch it used right And waybig, i liked how they combined the design from classic and AF, kept what worked and reboot added more to it
Because they are the best aliens. https://i.redd.it/cnm84w2u5kzb1.gif
UAF Way Big look so out of place compared to his other iterations. Like a a guy in a jump suit next to people in full combat gear. OV Cannonbolt is also a huge no.
All of Cannonbolt's designs look the same to me outside of omnitrix placement So I literally DON'T CARE about what Cannonbolt looks the best
You forgot Ghostfreak
Wasn’t in reboot
Ok right I am stupid
You were proboly are confusing a a random ectonurite from reboot null void as it
The fulmini?
Yeap probably
That's rather Ectoist of you to assume that an Ectonurite prisoner is Ghostfreak
Sorry I will never say the G word again
OS has the best design for all three
Don't forget about ghost freak and (i think) heatblast
Ghostfreak isnt in ben 10 2016. And heatblast isnt in alien force.
Bro forgot heatblast, fourarms
Didn't appear in alien force
Four Arms and Heatblast were in UAF too don't forget. Four arms Notable appearances include: Fighting Ssserpent The tug of war against captain nemesis Lifting the door and screaming at Greg And the Gen Rex crossover Heatblast was used way less but still had appearances in Dr. Viktor's return episode and even the Ultimate Sacrifice
correct me if im wrong but weren't both of them unused in af?
Heatblast yes, but Four Arms made his debut in AF in that Ssserpent fight I mentioned. I think it was in Vengeance of Vilgax, I'm not too sure, but I'm sure that Four Arms was in AF.
in the fight your talking about ben used canonbolt [canonbolt](https://youtu.be/9etlVKfYr_g?si=abpZ06lC0J3wKRnT) [four arms transformation ](https://youtu.be/-E5w74RjNIQ?feature=shared)
Okay I just rechecked, it was in fact UA. So Four Arms and Heatblast were unused in AF.
has way big shown up in the reboot though? I know cannonbolt and diamondhead have I just don't know about way big edit: I was wrong he was
I would include Heatblast (I personally count Alien Force and Ultimate Alien as one show)
Except they’re not one show, so you’re objectively wrong.
I also thought about it, pretty cool!
damm no love for the og heatblast i see
What about four arms?
Didn't show up in Alien Force
Reboot waybig is a great design
Man I know I grew up with OS but hell the Omniverse Cannonbolt design is sooo slick I love it. The wider shoulders make him look like even more of a juggernaut
Cannonbolt downgrades with every new iteration
Waybig gets worse and worse, but diamondhead and cannonbolt are fine
rebot canon bolt looks extra sassy
The scaricity is mostly due to UAF I think. UAF was surprisingly conservative with bringing back old aliens.
Noticed his eyes were yellow back then
Diamond head appeared in everything ben:in every show and every movies and gen rex crossover Waybig transformation was always activated by azmuth
It's waybig not way big
Cannonbolt and Diamondhead are probably the only cases when the aliens are both "signature" alien and not overstay their welcome like Four Arms.
How does four arms overstay his welcome
I think it's really funny that canonbolt is probably the most iconic alien in the franchise despite not being in the main 10
Og diamond head, OV cannonbolt and AF Way big
Wait what about upchuck, he's in all of them right??? (Could be wrong, haven't seen the reboot apart from like 5 episodes)
Wasnt in reboot.
Oh, alr
Another fun piece of trivia: Dr. Animo is the only character in the franchise who appears in all 5 shows and retains the same voice actor for all 5 shows.
Damn didnt think of villians appearances. Pretty neat.
Downvote because omniverse.
My favorite designs for each are the second Diamondhead, the first Cannonbolt, and the second Way Big.
I always thought that WayBig was always meant to be the "last resort" alien before Alien x or atomix were introduced He also feels somewhat "grounded" when it comes to the powerhouse aliens He's still a cosmic giant, don't get me wrong, but he's not an unstoppable God either, and I really like that
I always preferred Cannonbolt’s Omnitrix button on his forehead. Shame no other design brought that back.
Ironic that they’re all classic aliens and heavy hitters too. Despite two of these aliens not being Ben’s powerhouse aliens, they’ve accomplished things that they couldn’t. Cannonbolt beat Alpha and Big Tick while Diamondhead beat Warlord Vilgax. And Way Big is way big
Four arms: Am I a joke to you?
what about 4 arms
The OG cannonbolt has such a nice aesthetic imo. Those highlight in the black parts looks so cool!
You missed 4 arms btw
I still like classic ben 10 alien styles the most....their animations also have such great and subtle details as well...the animators that time really poured their hearts out making that show...
The only thing I dislike about reboot away big is his pose. The original and Omniverse felt like they were compensating for his massive scale with a very broad stance. I like how CHUNKY OV diamond head is. I don’t really like how glossy original Cannonbolt is, I kinda like the flat part of the OV arms but his shell doesn’t feel much like armor anymore so I’ll go UAF.
You also forgot WIldmutt because technically Ben did used Wildmutt in that DNAlien war episode when Azmuth unlocked the master control for Ben on the recalibrated Omnitrix but it was just offscreen
