Buzzer (Diaclone)

Buzzers are Waruder troops from the Diaclone continuity family.

Among the Waruder troops are the Buzzer pilots, who control the venomous Paralyzer marauder drones. As the drones are bereft of any intelligence whatsoever, it lies to the Buzzers to utilize the Paralyzers in pursuit of the Waruder hive's goal: consumption of everything.

Buzzers can convert between two modes similar to their host shells', and, in times of distress, change into weapon modes that the shells can wield. However, this isn't without its own risk—any case of butterfingers will cause the Buzzer's control over their Paralyzer to instantly cease.

Fiction

TransTech

Due to quantum instability, a number of Waruder troops were transported to Axiom Nexus's distant past when they migrated over to Nexus 208.0 Epsilon. They formed a hive, and spent the next 20,000 years undisturbed, evolving and building an elaborate hive deep underground. Buzzer-type soldiers helped the hive expand and feed, and defended it against intruders. When C-81 and his band of wanted criminals stumbled across the Waruder hive while on the run from the law, several Buzzer soldiers deployed their Paralyzer mechs in response to another Waruder's distress signal. Cybertron's most wanted found out about the pilot/exo-suit natured of the Waruders they were fighting when a Buzzer soldier lunged out from his disabled mech and attacked Battletrap. The Buzzer soldier was immediately killed, taking a blast from Battletrap's gun. Scalpel then observed the downed Waruder's body, dissecting it as the group ran from Waruder reinforcements. More Buzzer soldiers pressed the assault from within their Paralyzer mechs. Even as more intruders came about, the Waruders were on the verge of victory until C-81 managed to grab hold of their leader, and forced him to negotiate. The Waruders later migrated off-Cybertron peacefully via an interuniversal gate. On the other side, they would find a deserted Cybertron where they could feed to their hearts' content undisturbed.

Buzzin' in yellow, like a Bee!

• Waruder Marauders (BotCon 2015)

Timelines Buzzer is a yellow and gray redeco of the Generations Mini-Con-sized Waspinator sculpt that originally came with the Legends Class Starscream mold. Buzzer can transform into a wasp, a Waruder pilot with 3 mm-compatible hands, and a gun with a 5 mm handle. He has an autotransformation feature that folds up his wings when his gun barrel is extended.

Buzzer was available in a four-pack at BotCon 2015 that included the four Waruder mechs (Paralyzer, Parasite, Storm Rider, and Mudfighter) as well as the three other Waruder troops (Ripper, Thrasher, and Crusher). Buzzer is nominally associated with Paralyzer, who can hold Buzzer's weapon mode.

This figure was repurposed as B-Navi.

Notes

• Buzzer is based on the Waruder pilots that were sold with various sets in the Diaclone line.
• Like all the generic Waruder pilots, the Buzzers are named after one of the Dreadnoks from G.I. Joe.
