Title:
Buzz Saw Buzzsaw
Description:
Buzz Saw (Deluxe Class, 1996)
Takara ID number: D-9
Takara release date: December 1997
Accessories: missile launcher, 2 missiles
A redeco of the original Waspinator mold, Buzz Saw transforms from an organic yellowjacket to a robot. His beast-mode stinger separates to become a hand-held spring-loaded missile-launching gun. Missiles for the gun store in the insect wings’ undesides. His torso features a rotating center-block with a robot mode head on each end; one is a "normal” robot mode face (with which he is usually depicted), the other a "mutant” face (which is nominally used by Waspinator).
The Takara release, part of the fourth wave of Takara’s Beast Wars line in December 1997, is slightly different from the Hasbro version, using a darker purple plastic, and replacing the lime-green plastic with a muted gray. (Curiously enough, exactly the same plastic changes were done to Blackarachnia’s Japanese release. Takara’s Waspinator and Tarantulas also had matching changes made to these parts, indicating the spider and hornet molds were at least partially gang-molded.)
This mold was also retooled to make Dirgegun and Thrustinator.
