- For the plants in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that the line is based on, see Kernel-pult and Cob Cannon.
The Corn line (玉米系; pinyin: yùmǐ xì) was a Class A Brave
plant line in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars .
The line consisted of Kernel-pult (玉米投手; pinyin: yùmǐ tóushǒu), Popcorn-pult (爆米花投手; pinyin: bàomǐhuā tóushǒu), and Cob Cannon (玉米加农炮; pinyin: yùmǐ jiānóngpào). They all specialized in stunning groups of enemies.
Kernel-pult attacked by lobbing corn kernels, Popcorn-pult attacked by lobbing individual pieces of popcorn, and Cob Cannon attacked by firing yellow lasers.
Origins[]

All members of the Corn line were based on the crop maize (Zea mays), also known as corn, a type of large grain plant which originates from southern Mexico.
The first and third tiers were based on the plants from Plants vs. Zombies, with Kernel-pult sharing its appearance with version from Plants vs. Zombies 2, and Cob Cannon having a completely new design in this game.

The second tier was based on popcorn, a snack created by heating up kernels from certain varieties of corn that is popularly sold in movie theaters. It's design references this by having Popcorn-pult hold its popcorn in a striped bag and wear 3D glasses, objects which are also typically used in movie theaters.
