Waver

Waver is an Autobot from the Victory portion of Generation 1 continuity family.

A ski-boat wearing ski-boots!

Waver (ウェーバー Wēbā) is typically the lower half of the Multiforce combiner Wingwaver and the thighs of giant Landcross. The strong, silent type, Waver seems to have no problems with sitting around the oddest places in his hydrofoil mode during firefights. He also seems to have no problem perpetually being the legs to Wing's torso. For all he says, Waver might be mute, but he certainly manages to make his presence known when supporting his teammates in their combined forms.

Fiction

Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity

Victory cartoon

Voice actor: Yoshikazu Hirano ("Sneak Attack! Dinoking", Japanese), Shinobu Satouchi ("Awaken! Victory Leo", Japanese)

During an attack on Wingwaver in space, Waver turned into a boat and sat on a metal beam. Sneak Attack! Dinoking During an attack on a power plant, Waver turned into a boat and sat on the beach. During an attack on a man-made island, Waver did NOT turn into a boat and evacuate people. Go figure. One time he was able to drive across the ground in boat mode. Huh. Awaken! Victory Leo

Micromaster

While testing out stealth technology, Waver and the rest of the Multiforce stumbled through a dimensional rift that brought them years into the past. There, Micromasters battled over Mount St. Hillary, where Optimus Prime, Megatron, and their troops slumbered within the Ark. Before Wing could introduce him to the local Autobots, the Multiforce had to head out to meet a Decepticon threat. He combined with Wing to form Wingwaver and helped taking on the Decepticon Sixbuilders. Waver then combined with the rest of the Multiforce into Landcross to send Berserker Sixwing packing. The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!

Ask Vector Prime

The Multiforce followed the normal flow of time to return to their native period, making sure to not interfere with events they knew had to transpire. To this end, they avoided the other Transformers and explored the Skomiloch Territories and clashed with the Predators. Their journey enabled them to be able to stop the Praetorian from using the corrupted Reconfiguration Matrix to rewrite all robotic life in the Vega Sector into loyal Scrapmetal.

Victory manga

The Multiforce was summoned to Earth by Star Saber and battled Dinoking as Landcross. After defeating Dinoking, Landcross separated in order to swarm Deathsaurus with superior numbers. Magnificent! Our Friend, Star Saber!

After having lost a battle to Deathsaurus as Landcross, and being subsequently rescued by Star Saber, Waver helped rescue the animals hurt by the forest fire caused by the Decepticon Emperor. Great Turn-Around! Star Saber

Waver also fought against the Decepticons inside their space base as it was raining down meteors onto the Earth. The war ended peacefully with a truce between both factions. Heroic! The Victory War
