Editing Talk:Armored Cannon Beetle

How was the scientific name found for this creature? It wasn't listed in Pikmin 2.

Never mind, but there likely might be a third part to it.


HEEELLLOOO! ACBL is the same species as ACB!

Do you think that both the larva and the adult will be in Pikmin 3?--[[User:Pikiwizard|Pikiwizard]] 20:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

== Marked Image ==

The Armored Cannon Beetle's image-the top one- has the distinctive IGN marking on it. Thus, it should not be here.
Am I correct?

Where? I can't see it.

I think it's the marking on Olimar's picture, but I may be wrong.

== How To Kill Section ==

Shouldn't there be a How to kill section for this creature? I mean, it's basicly built into the article. And if anyone wants to know the strategy for it, ask me.[[User:Pikdude|<span style="color:blue">Pik</span>]][[User talk:Pikdude|<span style="color:green">dude</span>]][[Image:Louie.jpg|30px]] 00:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

:There you go.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

Er, in the How to Kill section, it says, in reference to Olimar breaking the ACB's rocks by punching them "This does not work in Pikmin 2 , however." But the ACB isn't in Pikmin 2. Am I missing something, or does that quoted sentence not belong there? Edit: Oh, and I haven't played either of them much, so I wouldn't know. --[[Special:Contributions/142.163.161.249|142.163.161.249]] 14:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I cant believe that some people still think  "the distant planet" is Earth! I mean come on! AN ARMERD CANNON BETTLE with eyes that light up! INSANE! the only thing that looks like Earth is the surroundings and the pikmin. Pikmin are like ants.

:And I can't believe there's still some people who say this. Haven't you seen Australia at the end of Pikmin 2? Or how Olimar lands in Africa? I don't know if you didn't know, but the game's in the future. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

THERE ARE A TRILLION PLANETS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! surly one of them looks like Earth. And besides, HOW CONE THERE Arn't any HUMANS in the games!!

If you haven't realized it yet, Olimar is the size of a quarter so don't expect to see any humans in the games because they will be colossus. If you do see one, it will only be a giant shadow that covers the whole map. And the distant planet really is Earth that's why all of the treasures are human objects, except they shrunk alot so they can fit on the map. Hocotate is really Saturn. -Guest

First: the artifacts should be a major indication that the planet of the Pikmin is earth: it is high odds that two planets look the same, even higher odds that two similar planets look the same and have inhabitants with the same technology.

Second: There is no guarente that where Olimar landed is inhabited by Humans.  There are plenty of places on Earth that do not have humans. The litter could have been dropped by passer-bys or by a nomadic tribe formerly living there.

Thirdly, there is 5 billion years of future '''between''' now and when the sun explodes.  The future of the sun exploding is not tomorrow. There is also no guarentee that humans do not die out before the sun explodes or that there is not a mass migration away from earth (I doubt anyone having other options would stay on Earth when the sun explodes) before Sol explodes. And why could the Pikmin not exist while Humans exist, anyway?

--[[User:Yoshord|Yoshord]] 01:21, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, I believe that this entire game could just be Olimar's interpretation of Earth in his POV. --[[User:Pokeflora|Pokeflora]] 02:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Press down on the D pad in front of it. You'll lie down but be invincible so have your pikmin carry the part back while you are cannon fodder.

:::::Pikmin1254, I forgot about that. I just got my copy of the game back. I think there's some form of requirement for it to be the only one in a cave for the cave boss rules. I'm not sure, it's been too long since I played or was last on here. I'm pretty sure there's a seperate set of rules for caves or something, but, it needs it's own boss music to be a boss. Besides, the Armored Cannon Beetle is NOT a boss, it fills none of the requirements, and is far too frequent to be a sub-boss anyway.

It depends on how you think about it. Is it one Water Wraith chasing you or a diffrent one on each floor. I would say if you find it in the the bottom of a cave its a boss.

The rules are for a boss to be a boss is Pikmin is, They only appear once in story mode, They have to be somewhat tough, And they can't be brought back to the ship. There's a boss in each area and here they are. Goolix,Burrowing Snagret, Beady long legs, Smoky Progg, and Empeor Bulblax[[Special:Contributions/141.158.144.191|141.158.144.191]] 21:14, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

a)the burrowing snagret appears 3 times in story mode

b)you can bring its head back to the ship

But he has nice rules... we should get some standards or somthing set in stone. I always considered ACB a boss because of its hugnormusosity, but then again i consider the breadbug and the mamuta as bosses or at least 'subbosses' because of their unique ways of attacking. the first time i fought ACB I didnt know what too do and got over 50 pikmin killed by the first rock.[[User:MRPANTS|MRPANTS]] 00:09, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

I think to be a boss it must:

- Not appear again in the same place in the main game. For example, if you kill the Armored Cannon Beetle in the Forest of Hope, it won't come back.

- Cannot wander around the level. The Breadbug is not considered a boss because of this rule, despite it permanently disappearing once it is killed. The Smoky Progg is an exception to this as it can only travel to the base.

And to the unregistered contributer, if that is your rules for considering an enemy a boss, then the Smoky Progg should not be counted as it can technically be brought back to the Onion as it drops that golden sphere. And yes, I consider the Mamuta and Goolix a boss.
