Parts Used:
Head:
Pathfinder V1              Chest: Shipwreck V1        Arms: Buzzer V1        Hands: BBi        
Middle Piece: Buzzer V1        Upper Legs: Mutt V3        Lower Legs: Buzzer V1

Modifications: Modified Stalker V2 machine gun by removing the handles and barrel. A Buzzer V1 chainsaw blade was attached to the
front of the machine gun. Pieces of a PAC Rat were used as a hand guard and exhaust, and copper wire was used for the handles. A
Buzzer V1 back pack was modified by removing the back peg and the peg to hold on the gas can. A piece of leather shoe string was used
as a sling. A BBi smoke grenade and ammo pouch for the Thompson M1 round ammo drum was added to the sling. A Marauder John
grenade was added to the sling as well. A piece of fabric elastic was also added to hold the chainsaw in place. A hole was dremeled out of
the bottom of pack frame so that the chainsaw blade could fit through it. A 21st Century Toys M-1 submachine gun was modified by
removing the 30 round clip and replacing it with a Marauder Inc RPK-47 ammo drum and a string sling. Modified a Buzzer V1 mace by
removing the chain and handle and replacing it with a piece of jewelry chain and a miscellaneous medieval axe handle. Modified Pathfinder
V1 head by removing the sculpted hat and replacing it with Scarlett V13 hair and pony tail. Shipwreck V1 chest was modified by adding
"Apoxie Sculpt" to the shoulders for rolled sleeves and the top of the chest as tee shirt collar. Buzzer V1 arms were modified by adding
"Apoxie Sculpt" for tee shirt sleeves. The hands were removed and BBi hands were added to make them able to be positioned in different
poses. Buzzer V1 middle piece was modified by removing the sculpted groin protector.

Inspiration for Custom:  I was never really happy with the overall look of my first version of Buzzer. In my opinion the head just never
looked right and I wanted to remove the shoulder strap from the right of the chest. I also wanted to give Buzzer a "tougher" overall look. I
searched several Internet images for Buzzer and decided that I really liked is look from the Devil's Due comic series. I tried to follow this
look closely, giving him longer hair and a goatee and a different color scheme. I also wanted to update the custom Thompson M1 that I
made for him. I thought it was a crazy idea to give him a military issue Thompson M1 with an gangster ammo drum.  I also wanted to
remove the bright red paint from the custom chain saw I had used previously and I replaced it with a Husqvarna chainsaw orange color.
The last thing that I wanted to do was make the Buzzer V1 mace a little bit more realistic. This was done by replacing the handle and chain.
I also wanted Buzzer to be able to carry all of his gear, so I made it so that he could store his mace and chainsaw on his modified pack
frame. I really think that most of the equipment of the Dreadnoks would be worn and weathered so the paint was applied to give it that
specific look. While this is not one of my more complicated customs, I feel like it is definitely Buzzer, a little less conspicuous version that
could hang out in any bike bar and not draw attention to himself.

Buzzer is the most intelligent Dreadnok by far; his intelligence being only rivaled by Zartan. It is believed that
Buzzer was at one point an extreme left-wing sociology don at Cambridge. Buzzer began to travel around the
world to study different societal values. During this time of travel Buzzer became obsessed with the inner
workings of the biker culture. He began to travel to Australia to study the outlaw motorcycle gang called the  
Comancheros and began to transform into the very subject of his studies. This transformation coincided with
his displeasure with the indignations of society. Buzzer began to develop an intense desire to destroy civilized
infrastructure with a chainsaw. The chainsaw that Buzzer uses has been heavily modified to increase its
horsepower and chain speed. The chain is specially made with titanium teeth giving it an extremely sharp edge
that can cut through many materials including wood and many softer metals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is believed that while Buzzer was in Australia studying the Comancheros that he met Zartan and was
immediately taken in by the man's ideology. Buzzer was the first to follow Zartan, making him the first
Dreadnok. Buzzer answers only to Zartan, Zartan's siblings and Zartan's daughter.
