"My bite is worse than my bark."

Profile:

Given his reputation for civility and sophistication, it might seem surprising at first that Buzzsaw is also one of the cruelest and most destructive of all Decepticons. But his two sides are not contradictory. He carries out his lethal tasks with the careful, reasoned approach of a fine artist, with the cool precision of a neurosurgeon. He views every awful undertaking of his as the beginning of a new masterpiece. Every opponent he defeats marks a completion. And, like any true artist, nothing can sway him from his commitment to his deadly craft. He will only end his career when the Autobots are no more.  Buzzsaw is an artist—rather, he likes to make art out of his victims.

He approaches his victims with reasoned clarity and sophistication, gutting them with what he believes to be inspirational precision. However, his ego is easily wounded, and he's not adept at improvisation. If one of his "masterpieces" is interrupted and he cannot proceed as planned, he would rather retreat to sulk than rethink his approach.

He will kill you. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of where, when, and how painful it is.

Abilities: Using his optical sensors, Buzzsaw can pinpoint and photographically record a thumbtack at 20 miles, making him invaluable on spy missions. He can fly virtually soundlessly at speeds up to 250 mph for a distance of 1500 miles. He's equipped with twin mortar cannons that can fire five rounds per minute. His most feared weapon is his beak, which, with its diamond-hard, micro-serrated edges, he can use to carve up all except the most strong-skinned opponents. And, like the artist he is, he uses his beak with great finesse.

Weaknesses: Buzzsaw has a tremendous ego. If one of his carefully planned operations should go astray, ruining what he considers a work of art in progress, he will often stop and sulk rather than improvise and proceed.

One of Soundwave's cassette drones, Buzzsaw use to spend his time scheming with Ravage 'til his twin Laserbeak got hurt. Now he divides his time between creating artistic mayhem and watching after his twin. He's gathered quite a collection of "trophies", as well as an assortment of video/audio recording of a rather sorid and/or morbid type. He's also gotten better at improvising....  As well as developed a habit for baiting mechs bigger than himself. Especially 'screamer. This maybe because he's a little glitched in the processors...or just has a deathwish. Due to his "unique" sense of humor and strange artistic tempermentant, many of his fellow 'cons believe Buzzsaw is completely insane. Amusing to watch and a loyal drone, but insane.

Due to his twin's big mouth, he's ended up being shot-down (romanitcally!) by Flight, then got the slag beat out of him by the joint efforts of Warp & Sunny due to a completely tasteful sketch he did of Fireflight... 'Beak had him locked up in their quarters, but he's since been found by Elita and repaired. He's also recently developed some kind of interest in Nightbird... Primus knows what's going to come from this, but it's not likely to end well...
