M. Waverly (or just Waverly) is a robot built by Jonah Heston who debuted in Season 11 of MST3K.
Waverly appeared during The Loves of Hercules, where he attempted to mingle with Jonah and the Bots during one of their sketches. Tom and Crow took incredible offense to Waverly and did not like how Jonah was attempting to ruin the show's character dynamic by introducing another robot. They then forced Waverly to shut down, ripping his arm off in the process. Despite this, Waverly continues to appear throughout Season 12 in small roles, usually by being lifted in and out of the theater in each episode by Gypsy and occasionally making a riff on the movie.
In the Watch Out for Snakes! Tour, Waverly could be seen sweeping the stage during intermission at the Eegah show, and appeared before Act 2 of the Secret Surprise Film. In the latter appearance, it was revealed that Tom had rebuilt him and intended to keep this a secret from Crow.
M. Waverly has been seen to be active in Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Comic and in publicity photos for Season 12.
Behind the Scenes
The creation of Waverly was revealed during updates to the Kickstarter campaign.
In update #25, a video of a cardboard mock-up of Waverly was shown, but no more information was provided.[1]
In update #27, Joel revealed images of Waverly's maquette, a digital rendering and a video showing a prototype of the puppet in motion. At that time, Joel referred to the robot as "Mr. Waverly", revealing that his name was inspired by the character of Alexander Waverly from The Man from U.N.C.L.E..[2]
Waverly made his broadcast debut in a facebook live video, serving to introduce Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo.[3]
