DRONE MELD (EX)
As a full action while in contact with your drone, you can reconfigure it into a mechanical drone suit (or a backpack-like apparatus, for the Tiny hover drone) that you can wear. While in this form, the drone can’t take any actions or use any of its abilities, but you gain either the drone’s flight system mods if you have a hover drone, reactive camouflage (and an invisibility field if your drone has it) if you have a stealth drone, or reductive plating if you have a combat drone. You can end the meld and return the drone to its normal form as a full action. Though it normally acts on your turn just after you, the drone can take no actions on that turn other than transforming back.

If this turns your drone into a mech suit do you use its EAC and KAC since it would replace your armor? The other question with this is couldn't you use the drone's weapons instead of your own.

Per the rules as written no. What i am envisioning is that the Drone expands and reconfigures itself to allow the Mechanic to step into the drone and it wraps itself around the now pilot. The combat drone I would say is the only drone that would be able to provide full armor. The rest would only provide a exoskeleton.
