The Machinist will not attack the player on sight unless she or a Wasteland Guard are attacked, they block her path for too long, or they aim their weapon at her for too long.

The Machinist patrols the roads of the island inside her personal Lockjaw with a Wasteland Grunt in the second seat while leading a War Bus driven by a Wasteland Elite and Grunts. Her Shields are bolstered while she sits inside her Lockjaw and will not re-enter if she exits the vehicle.

She will not attack the player on sight unless she, a Wasteland Guard, or their vehicles are attacked, they get on the War Bus seats, they block her path for too long, or they aim their weapon at her for too long.

Little is known about The Machinist and her motivations. Unlike her sister, she willingly joined Megalo Don's crew, and although she doesn't seem to have a particular penchant for destruction, she helped him in his project. She does, however, believe that whoever controls the scrap controls the chaos. She also has a defiant and insolent childish side, notably when scolded by Megalo Don about the failure of her pipeline.
