Battle Buzzsaw

The Battle Buzzsaw (バトルバズソー Battle Bazusō) Battlecruiser has been optimized for aquatic combat. Its antigravity generators enable it to slice through water at 3,000 kilometers an hour even when fully submerged, capable diving and surfacing with ease. This speed is used to get in close to its targets, where the saw at its front uses gravity waves to tear through ships' tough armor.

The machine is under the control of Dinogator, Commander of the Laser Beast Underground Battalion and Underwater Force.

I'm just as awesome as the box promises. Trust me.

• Battle Buzzsaw (Battlecruiser, 1988)

Released in the "Laser Beasts" portion of the post-Transformers-branded Beastformers toyline, the Battle Buzzsaw is a small sawshark-themed battle sled with a pull-back motor, allowing it to rocket forward on smooth surfaces. The "handlebars" actually act as a securing clip around the waists of Beastformer and Laser Beast figures, though many figures end up kind of dangling there, feet off the platform.

It came with the Laser Beast Dinogator, who was only available in this set.

Notes

• The machine's weaponry is detailed in the Hero Special 12: Laser Beasts mook. However, the Battlecruiser page has a persistent error where only about half the bullet points on the technical diagrams have lines leading to the specific parts of the vehicles.
• This toy was planned to be released in the Hasbro Battle Beasts line in 1988, in an assortment of twelve motorized vehicle + Beast sets, but this assortment apparently never made it to even the test-packaging phase. It was also going to be released in three different color schemes:

• Blue with white underside, sky-blue fins and white handlebars (the Beastformers release uses this main deco, but with peach handlebars)
• Yellow with black underside, red fins and sky-blue handlebars
• Red with white underside, yellow fins and white handlebars

It is uncertain which Beasts would come with these three, as the Pre-Toy Fair Catalog shows Skullgrotes riding the yellow "Savanna" in inset, but the blue "Buzzsaw" in the group shot, so it's very possible stuff got mixed up. The group shot does show Dinogator on the red Buzzsaw, Kingbuster on the yellow.
