From what I can tell, the series of lines and spaces used as Buzzsaw's speech does not translate into ones and zeros to converted from binary. --Bluestreak7 12:22, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

Who said it did? --Khajidha 12:41, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
It's a reference to Woodstock of Peanuts. Which you would know if you actually read the article. —Interrobang 12:52, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
No one said it did. But I though it had a minor "easter egg" possibility while using the Woodstock speech. I went ahead and checked it and posted my findings in case anyone else gets the same curiosity. Obviously declaring what something isn't doesn't belong in the article itself, so I put it on the talk page. --Bluestreak7 14:51, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

Heh, no, the speech doesn't translate into anything. Also, while Buzzsaw's speech bubbles *are* based on Woodstock, I wouldn't say his coloration is. Buzzsaw was colored in yellow loooong before I gave him a personality and a speech pattern! I also wouldn't say his personality is based on Woodstock, either. Woodstock is, to my recollection, a flighty, flakey doofus who can't fly straight. Buzzsaw's a levelheaded snarker. Snoopy was Woodstock's straight man, while it's the other way around with Ravage and Buzzsaw. So that trivia note definitely should be retooled. --ItsWalky 15:15, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

Nothing in the note indicates his personality is based on Woodstock. Just the speech quirk, head design and coloration... like you said, the coloration predates Recordicons, and the head design seems to be more your way of drawing that body-type's head (judging by Garbroil's appearance in the latest Recordicons) more than any deliberate reference to Woodstock. --Detour 15:21, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
Naw, I draw Garboil's head differently from Buzzsaw. Garboil's head is more "toy-accurate," with a hooked nose. But you're right that the way I draw Buzzsaw has little to do with Woodstock. --ItsWalky 15:24, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
Oh, silly me. I was more looking at the "feathers" at the back of the head... Buzzsaw's nose looks little like Woodstock's big round one. --Detour 15:28, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

So just to be perfectly clear, Buzzsaw's speech doesn't mean anything at all?-- Maximus Prime Toa of Earth (talk) 15:52, 16 November 2016 (EST)
