Cannon'ex is a series of my own creation based on the Takara Tomy brand B-daman. I have decided to make a whole series out of it, I currently only have plans for 3 seasons, I may continue after that though. Feel free to post your thought's, or anything you might come up with whether it be k'nex, lego, or even if it's made of paper. I'll update with a contents page later Smile
Cannon'ex shares many of the same attributes as B-daman, there are 3 main types Power, Accuracy, and Rapid Ability, With 4 subcategories. The subs are Mobility, Store, Rapid Fire, and balance. The difference between rapid-fire, and rapid ability is that the latter describes a Cannon'ex figure that can reload and fire marbles quickly and easily. While the former describes a figure that can fire multiple marbles in succession.
This post will be updated later with more information.
Cannon'ex story
Chapter 1
Well there ya go part 1 of chapter one. I've decided to write a story to detail the Cannon'ex saga. with pictures for a little visual aid. what do you guys think, seems a little too fast to me. Update: The actual chapter one is still being written this 1 was rushed, and frankly not done well.
DISCLAIMER
Logo by me.
Very impressive. I just wish the LEGO equivalent was easier to build. I mean I have all the right parts....
Haha, I love that! How well does it shoot? That's so cool!
Thanks guys its really appreciated. Relative to an actual b-daman their power is pretty much the same with most of my models(although using an actual marble increases the power of most of them). All of the models have 2 modes, normal mode which is more ascetic, and core mode which allows them to accommodate the cores that they use. There are different ways a core can attach to the models.

Currently there are 2 ways a core can attach to the models, on the front and on the side. More information and pictures coming tommarow ciao.

Thank you for sharing the idea.

Many more will take a shot at this, I hope. No pun intended.

Howdy people of all ages, sorry i'm late in posting again. This post is mainly about "mantis repeater" a rapid fire type that i made. She uses a side mounted core, that shoots at a decent speed and power. Her body has a gimmick that allows her to store up to 2 marbles. Now here's some pics for all you visual learners out there.
This time i tried to keep the amount of photos short and to the point, to try and keep the post's shorter. I'll probably add one of all her separate parts in one picture. Maybe?

Also i wanted to share the first accessory, the "Practice Cinder". basically a a box you can shoot at to test out models you make, and to practice your skills with any of your figures.

Well that's all the new stuff for now please refer to the first post for disclaimer information. Also two things before i depart. First, if anyone is interested I would like to make a comic series to go along with the figures and could use some asistance. Also, sometime in the future if enough people get interested in this I'll have a contest, and the winner will get minor sneak peek at series 2 of my models. Until the next update, ciao.
That is truly cool, yes please make a series for this. Grin
Hello again i've finally got everything organized, so I will be able to reveal a new figure every 2 weeks. Also i'll be posting a bunch of new stuff soon so be sure to check back often. On to this weeks release, his name is Burst-fang Cerberus, power type. His build gives him balance on all sides, while also being an ideal counterpart for his core. Burst-fang launches out marbles at high speeds, he has a high ease of use but only a moderate accuracy rating. He's perfect for people new to the series. But I also want to hear what you guys think so don't be afraid to speak you mind.

accuracy 4/10

So now that my brain finally fired me back to this (sorry) amazing thread, keep it up sir or ma'am. Looking forward to this projects widespread future. Smile
The following B-Daman are all main B-Daman, I am very exited to bring you these new releases as I've had a lot of time to fine tune them. They all bring new abilities to add to the game, The most notable is a B-Daman with a Defense type core, and a mobility type body. But I'll get more into that later. Also I've finally figured out how I want the layout of the posts to be so I will be changing my previous posts to go along with that. So stay tuned, and don't forget I'm open to hearing your ideas and opinions so post here and make your voice heard. Ha ha that actually sounded kinda corny. Smile
Hello, hello, and hello, I am finally posting again this is post 1/5.

Cannoneer: is a very powerful core that attaches to the back. Its performance varies on the power and type of launch you use. My 3 main techniques are, 1.Power use your middle finger and flick as hard as you can. 2.Control use your index finger to launch. 3.Return shot put your index finger on the marble and push down and back hard, using a lighter pressure will change it to a rapid fire launch. What techniques will you discover.
Tortoise: The powerful shell of a turtle is unbreaking a place of sanctuary. Also a place to store things you may need later. Tortoise is a B-Daman that focuses on access to extra marbles via the shell, up to four marble can be stored. The shell can be removed and placed to the side for convenience. Like a tank on the battle field destroy your opponents with controlled powerful shots, and and easy access to extra marbles.
With confidence in my young I return to the water, ciao.
Roar! Another day another new figure post 2/5 of the special releases.

Force claw: A power type core that use's a catapult style claw to rip through all obstacles. FC is a side mounted core, it has an unpredictable trajectory at times. So if you like brute force(pun in tended) then this is the core for you.
Leos: leos is based on the mighty lion "obviously" and has a feature that allows him to block incoming marbles. Useful in games where you have to shoot past the opponent. Other than that his body is normal with support for side cores, and limited support for front/back cores. he's best with cores that have there own grip spots.
Until next time ciao. ROAR!!!
Sorry for not checking in earlier- again.

All of these are really impressive, you just created a new fanart niche in K'nex with the wave of new builds!
KAK KAW, lets soar through the skies and control fierce winds with this unconventional b-daman whoosh.

Twister: A powerful defender core, by spinning it can block all marbles from coming through. It launches marbles back in a random direction at increased power. Good for taking advantage of rectangular fields.
Raptor: An almighty ruler of the skies, with advanced mobility, and grip. The handicap of not having a normal core is fixed when paired with raptor in emergencies he can use his horns to launch marbles. By placing a marble under his tail you can increase his mobility. His wings can be reconfigured into grips to allow for increased control. This B-daman is for all you controlled defensive people, until I snipe you down ciao.
That thing is a murderous beast. Seems plausible for the Big-Bad in a fan fiction.
The piercing sniper finally arrives the guardian of light that shoots you down before you even know he's there, even if you know he's there good luck finding him haha.

L-Pierce: Stands for Long-Pierce, the long barrel assists the core in launching the marble with increased accuracy, and consistent power over distance. The power varies depending on how hard you pull the trigger. Can be attached to the side, this core is good for targets that are farther away.
Monoceros: Is based on the majestic unicorn, he is the almighty guardian of light. The first of the guardians, the rest will come in series 2. His mane can be converted into a grip. While his arms can be pulled out for balance. Thats it for now, 5/5 is a special game set that i will post soon, I will release a couple more figures and another set wrapping up series 1. So stay posted for that ciao.
Side note: Concept arts for all figures to date will be put in there respective posts really soon so stay tooned for that too.
Haha, make a contest for these, go ahead! Can't say I'll be involved though, dunno what is going on with the mess of K'nex in my Lego's....

Also very good job, I think Takara should take note of these- that is if they give you full credit though haha.
I've decided to drop series 1, I will still release all the series 1 stuff I have already. The reason being that I have made some new figures that really belong in S-2, Also I'm dry on ideas for series 1. Until next time ciao.

I am sorry about not posting any releases or lineups, I will post CX-6-10 tommarow. But for now to make up for it I will show you CX-11 "CAS" Kinetic=Trooper. CAS refers to my new system that I will release alongside the normal release's until I decide to make it the main. CAS stands for "Cimple Advanced System" I misspelled simple intentionally, this new system came to be when I got new pieces allowing me to explore new ways to build. more info in the opening post.

I'm still working on my photo set, so it's still just something I put together at the last minute. And yes the gimmick does work, so until next time ciao.
Hey,I also made B-DAMANS out of K'NEX.They are really AWESOME.I also made magazines,three actually,their names are straight,twin,and wide magazine.Haha,takara tomy will go down
Mind Posting pictures of them? They sound interesting.
That's awesome man, I just saw some of your other ones. I haven't even figured out how to make them rapid fire. All of mine have to be reloaded after each shot.
