When a sword just doesn't provide the cutting power required for the task, Transformers may prefer using saws as their melee weapon(s) of choice. Saws offer great cutting power, cannot be blocked as easily as swords and are generally very intimidating. From time to time, saws may come in handy as construction or medical tools, for gardening purposes, cutting up tasty fish or as torture devices. Cereal Serial killers love these.
