'''Buzzsaw''' knows that in order to create, sometimes you must also destroy. He's come to accept this, but it's all a matter of ''what'' must be destroyed. Unlike his leader [[Dualor]], he doesn't believe that you can just up and sacrifice anything or anyone to get whatever you want. But Buzzsaw lacks the strength of resolve to stand up to Dualor, and the guilt of watching innocents suffer has begun to take its toll on him. | '''Buzzsaw''' knows that in order to create, sometimes you must also destroy.

| The name or term "Buzzsaw" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Buzzsaw (disambiguation). |
- Buzzsaw is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Buzzsaw knows that in order to create, sometimes you must also destroy. He's come to accept this, but it's all a matter of what must be destroyed. Unlike his leader Dualor, he doesn't believe that you can just up and sacrifice anything or anyone to get whatever you want. But Buzzsaw lacks the strength of resolve to stand up to Dualor, and the guilt of watching innocents suffer has begun to take its toll on him.
His only release is in his work as a builder, and his hobby as an artist. Though certainly any symbolism in his creations is lost on Dualor.
