[edit] Backstory
WD40 is a second-generation terminoid previously under the employ of the Gippazoid Novelty Company and Patrician Broadcasting Network, self-personified as female. She is equipped with a jetpack, arm-mounted blaster guns, and, like previous Annihilator droid models, an invisibility field. Prior to its destruction, she also owned her own ship. WDs are goddess-class Wonderwoman Droidoids.[1]
Her last assignment before reconstruction was the completion of the original Arnoid's mission; that is, to destroy Roger Wilco. Following her reconstruction, she served for a time on the SCS Eureka, transferring to the SCS Goliath in the wake of the Pukoid incident. Her current location and profession are unknown.
[edit] Game Involvement
Roger encountered WD40 in space above Kiz Urazgubi. Threatened with the destruction of the SCS Eureka, Roger selflessly beamed down to the planet to meet with WD40. Rumor has it that Roger outsmarted and destroyed her during the resulting confrontation by stuffing a banana into the exhaust port of her jetpack.
Following her destruction, Roger had the Eureka's chief engineer, Cliffy, rebuild her, then recruited her to serve as the ship's Science Officer. By all accounts Roger and WD40 parted on amicable terms.

[edit] References
WD-40 is an United States brand of oil lubricant that comes in a spray can. Equipped with a straw nozzle, it is often used to lubricate squeaky hinges and small moving parts.
Also, the "banana in the tailpipe" trick is an obvious reference to the film Beverly Hills Cop. WD-40 is also a very obvious spoof on the movie Predator, and example is when WD-40 falls down into the water and has the cloaking sytem short-circut or the lasers similar to Predator's plasma cannon.
