Halfturret
From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki
The Half-Turret is the alternate form of the Space Pirate Bounty Hunter Weavel. Because of the cybernetic enhancements made to Weavel's body, he can split himself in two. The upper half moves about using Weavel's arms like legs, while the lower half takes up a kneeling position and fires Battlehammer rounds at nearby enemies from a cannon at the waist. The upper half can also attack by leaping and swinging the energy scythe attached to Weavel's right wrist.
The upper half of the Half-Turret is about the same size as Samus Aran's Morph Ball, which allows it to pass through passageways that are ordinarily too small for Weavel. Weavel's energy is split evenly between the two halves. If the turret takes damage, the top section also takes damage. However, when the top half takes damage, the turret is not effected. When Weavel returns to his biped form or when the energy of the lower portion is depleted the two halves will automatically become one again at the location of the top section.
[edit] Logbook entry
"Cybernetic enhancements allow WEAVEL's body to detach from its mechanical lower half and convert into the HALFTURRET alt-form. The arms provide locomotion for the upper body, while the legs are equipped with powerful projectile weaponry."[1]
