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?--Pikiwizard 20:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I always found this to be a pain in the butt.Pikdude 23:27, 23 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.PikdudeFile:Louie.jpg 00:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- There you go.--Prezintenden
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. --142.163.161.249 14:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
It's just talking about the boulders launched by Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae and Decorated Cannon Beetles in Pikmin 2. Should it be more specific? Portal-Kombat
I think we have a bit of a problem with the how to kill part saying that the rocks are to kill prey, It doesn't have prey, it eats rocks... Well, according to pikmin 2 notes.--Prof. 23:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
its to much adorable to handle

ZILLA!!!~ AND IMAFIRINMAHLAZOR!!!
Oh, yeah... It's because I'm from the RuneScape Wiki, not this one... So can anyone make me a sig? 10:41, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry but, I agree. It's soo cute! --Pokeflora 02:25, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
I guess everyone has their own opinion...--I'm the one, the only, ~Pikmin
Fan~101
Where are its eyes? Is that thing in the top an eye? 
Snakeboss14
No, those light blue circles near its mouth are its eyes. The thing on the top is its blowhole.--Gamefreak75 23:02, 29 June 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.
Pikmin fan 101 22:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- 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. Snakeboss14
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

YES, it is in the future, but in the future, the sun will get old and explode.(i heard this on Discovery channel)
--Pikmin fan 101 23:29, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Pikmin fan 101
About the time right when the last human dies.,,,,,,So how can there be pikmin???????????????
--Pikmin fan 101 23:32, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Pikmin fan 101
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?
--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. --Pokeflora 02:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you, Yoshord, for clarifying that the Pikmin Planet is earth. Snakeboss14
I could see now.--
pikmin fan 101
....but i highly doubt animals will mutate into the animals we see in the pikmin games.(aka this)
or this
There is no guarantee that the sun will explode, I'm a Lutheran, I believe in a better future. Maybe God will explode the sun to send us all to heaven (If we believe). And no, I don't think it's cute. Bulborbs may be cute, but only if they're not trying to eat you. Pikdude

This Thing Is A Pain In The BUTT!!!
I still havnt killed it!(but i have a strategy,Put blues in the blowhole,use reds,and yellows with bomb rocks to attack)Ysyty 19:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- If it's in Forest of Hope, just carry the ship part with the max carriers. Then take some pikmin and throw them into the blowhole. While the beetle is running, the pikmin can take the ship back.
If talking of the other one, he's not much of a problem. Just throw pikmin fast. I almost never lose a pikmin to him. Snakeboss14
Warning! Random pictures to the right! File:Bluepikminlarge.gifJoshazilla23 File:Olimarpulllarge.gif
I killed it without losing any pikmin. It's easy...--Pikminfan 1O1
but sometimes my little sister is like"HOLY S***, watch out!" And that kindove distracts me.--Pikminfan 1O1
Well, then i feel sad for you for having a sister that says bad words--
Pikpikcarrots
But, still, it's easy to me--I'm the one, the only, ~PikminFan~101
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. Now you can kill it without having to worry about the ship part. Pikdude 14:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Boss?
Whould you guys realy consider this a boss? I mean its pretty easy to beat and doesnt have that much health.Strudel man 17:37, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I have also wondered that. It doesn't have the boss theme, like Beady or the Bulblax, and it is not necessary to fight if you use Olimar as a bait. Snakeboss14
Erm...it IS necessary in the distant spring it holds a part, but im just saying it has about a little more health then a spotty bulbear (its just that it seems to have a lot more health because you have to throw pikmin on it)Strudel man 21:11, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
- It has no boss theme, yet, it's the only one, so I would classify it as a sub-boss.Pikdude
22:21, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- I consider it a boss because it can't wonder around the level like other enemies can. And according to you Pikdude, the Empress Bulblax, Beady Long Legs, Emperor Bulblax, ect.Pikmin

- 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. Pikdude 21:23, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

- Twice is too often to be considered a subboss? Is once to often to be considered a boss, then? Also, Bowser in Super Mario Bros. 1. The background music while encountering him is the same as the rest of the level, but I'd still consider him a boss. --Yoshord 21:52, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
So your saying titan deevil is the only boss in pikmin 2? I consider the water wrath (who has his own music but theres more then one of him) the strongest boss. I agree with Snake, @pikdude I would say your rules mean its a final boss R to the P to the
Wyb.
Boulder
Can it hurt enemies or pellet posies with its boulder, like in Pikmin 2? Portal-Kombat
No i tested it with the red bulborb in the forest of hope and the boulder broke upon impact. Strudel man 22:10, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
