Original Character Note[]
WEAVER-9 loves to build. He just can't seem to relax unless he's working on some project or other, although he is the proud owner of a rather large saxophone that he can occasionally be found playing in some out-of-the-way place. The other cornerstone of Weaver-9's personality is his deep and enduring, almost blind loyalty to the Autobots. He'll follow virtually any order, balking only if told to leave an ally behind in danger. Weaver-9 is no great warrior; he is much more at home building something than charging into battle, chainguns blazing. In order to help keep himself out of the thick of combat, he's constructed four remotely controlled fighting drones with pulsed laser rifles, two of them flying with turbofans, two riding on tank treads. These allow him to participate in battle without directly being shot at, a good thing because, as he puts it, "Incoming fire makes me nervous." The drones are launched from bays in his secondary form, that of a towering six-legged construction platform with four long gripping arms, each with an assortment of versatile tools including grappling harpoons and cutters.
