The Halfturret is a special weapon system used by the cyborg Space Pirate, Weavel, as an "alternate form" similar to Samus's Morph Ball. When activated, his robotic body splits at the waist and the lower bo dy transforms into an autoturret armed with a Battlehammer. In this form, Weavel walks on his hands and attacks by turning somersaults, slashing with wrist-mounted blades in doing so. Both Weavel and the Halfturret share half of Weavel's current Energy each, so a good strategy would be to destroy the turret to force Weavel back to his normal form, effectively weakening him in doing so.

- Because of the cybernetic enhancements made to Weavel's body, he is able to 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 rapidly (and accurately) 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. This is called a Halfturret Slice, when the kill by such a move is described in-game. If killed by the Battlehammer shots, the death is simply ascribed to "Halfturret".

| - 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.

- Because of the cybernetic enhancements made to Weavel's body, he is able to 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 rapidly (and accurately) 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. This is called a Halfturret Slice, when the kill by such a move is described in-game. If killed by the Battlehammer shots, the death is simply ascribed to "Halfturret". The upper half of the Halfturret 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 affected. When Weavel returns to his bipedal form the two halves will automatically become one again at the location of the top section. Any energy left over from the turret will be added to his total energy in his bipedal form. Upon Weavel's turret energy being depleted, his lower half will be destroyed, leaving his top half with 1 energy. At this point Weavel can choose to initiate his bipedal form as he normally would. This would leave him with 1 energy, but splitting into the Halfturret again afterward can create an additional 1 energy to be used with the Halfturret. Assuming that Weavel's turret takes no damage, he can then initiate bipedal form and be left with 2 energy.
