Difference between revisions of "Weldar"

'''Weldar''', subtitled "Visually-Impaired Welding Torch", is a welding torch who works in [[Grunty Industries]]. His name comes from the word "weld".

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Weldar is found in the Repair Depot of the basement in Grunty Industries. Once [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] enter the room he is in, Weldar appears dragging his own body with some difficulty (as noted by the bear) to the center of the room through a large metal door. He then gets up and informs the duo that, in the worker's guidelines of the factory, it is stated that bears are not allowed in the building. Banjo takes advantage of the state of Weldar's vision to convince him that he is not actually a bear, but despite that, both still end up fighting as the welding torch already had gone through the trouble of carrying himself to the arena.

Weldar starts the fight by shooting blue fire balls at the duo. This is an easily-avoidable attack, as simply keep moving is enough to not be hit. After enough have been fired, he will put his head in the floor and attempt to suck the two using his mouth as a vacuum. To damage him during this attack, Kazooie must shoot either a [[Fire Egg]], a [[Grenade Egg]] or a [[Clockwork Kazooie Egg]] into the boss. This will cause one of the six red metal plates to break off his body. After that, he will summon [[Washup]]s, [[Boltoid]]s and [[Nutta]]s at the bear and bird, three enemies that can be quickly defeated. After the trio is dispatched of, Weldar will once again try to inhale the pair, giving another chance for them to attack. After being damaged again, he will jump into the air and fall down, trying to crush Banjo with his weight. After landing, he will start to hop around the room chasing the bear, and attempt to inhale them once again afterwards.

After this battle, Weldar's severed head can be interacted with in the depot can be interacted with. There, he mentions things such as how his "poor eyesight is the least of [his] problems now" or how he is in "rather a lot of pain", even asking if the bear and bird know "any good repairmen".

Weldar is a large, metallic welding torch with a cylindrical base with 6 red metal plates and yellow pipes with two gauges surrounding him. His head is located at the end of his hose, having two eyes (one being smaller than the other) and a mouth with sharp teeth.

 

In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', Weldar's Breath shares some similarities with Weldar's original form, having a neck-like hose and similarly-shaped head. The main differences are how his body is much smaller, his eyes are now two gauges and he is mostly red rather than black and gold (although its color can be changed in [[Mumbo's Motors]]).

 

Weldar appears to be strict about the worker's guidelines, getting angry when a bear enters the factory due to the fact it's against it. One of his most prominent traits is his bad eyesight (even mentioning he forgot to bring his glasses before his battle), often causing him to miss attacks or have trouble finding things (such as his emergency switch).
