Rob "Cannonball" Boswell is a terran mercenary HERC.

Biography

Cannonball's never met a problem he couldn't blast, drill, or shoot his way out of, and it shows. He's mastered the strangest weaponry he can get his hands on, and his latest find is a pile of HERC gear straight out of Umoja, which he enjoys immensely. During his time as a mercenary, he became close friends with James "Sirius" Sykes, and the two rely on one another for their bigger jobs.

In a theoretical timeline where Tychus survived the Second Great War, Boswell was recruited into Tychus's new Heaven's Devils to fight in the End War against Amon's Forces.

Game Unit

Cannonball is a heroic HERC outlaw available for Tychus Findlay in Co-op Missions. He is a beefy part of Tychus's "muscle" that can use Heavy Impact to close ground, and has upgradable gear that allows him to stay in the fight and soak enemy fire for long periods of time.

Development

Cannonball among his crew

In early builds of Tychus's Outlaws in Co-op Missions, Cannonball was based around the warrior class from World of Warcraft. He uses the remnants of a cut mechanic for Tychus named "coldheart," where all of Tychus's units would gain attack power and speed the longer they were in combat.
