History: (All-New, All-Different Avengers I#12 (fb) - BTS) - It took years to build the Techtronicon cannon.

(All-New, All-Different Avengers I#11) - As Thor and Annihilus physically battled one another, Annihilus ranted that he set the positive universe ablaze with his newly-constructed Techtronicon cannon. Iron Man, Vision and Captain America soon noticed the cannon and began to discuss what Annihilus' plans with the cannon were and what it was pointed at. The younger Avengers (Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man and Nova) soon staged a revolt and led several of Annihilus' slaves toward the Techtronicon. Unconcerned with the Avengers, Annihilus flew to the Techtronicon and activated it, preparing to destroy the positive universe.

(All-New, All-Different Avengers I#12) - After the Avengers managed to return to Earth with Annihilus' liberated slaves, they learned Spider-Man (Miles Morales) was still in the Negative Zone and Vision used one of the Nega Bands to exchange places with Miles, warning Iron Man that while Annihilus was now stuck in the Negative Zone, the Techtronicon was still powerful enough to punch a hole through dimensions to Earth. Using the Bands to exchange places with Thor, Vision returned to Earth while Thor immediately attacked the Techtronicon, only to watch her hammer bounce off the cannon. Eventually, Thor was switched out with Ms. Marvel using the Nega Bands and Ms. Marvel shrunk down to enter the Techtronicon itself. Ms. Marvel found the power core of the Techtronicon but began to feel sick from the radiation, prompting her to switch out. Nova took the Nega Band from Iron Man in order to finish the mission and he blasted the Techtronicon's power core until it exploded, destroying the Techtronicon and launching Nova away from the cannon.
