The Buzzer is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, wasp-based Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman, and the counterpart of the Buzzer from an alternate dimension set in the recent past.
Appearance
Based on wasp, Buzzers look similar to Buzz Bombers, with similar stingers that work the same. Also, Buzzers resemble mostly a Japanese hornet in terms of colors, their standard colors being a red faceplate, black thorax, and a yellow and black striped design for their abdomen where their stingers are located. They also possess jet engines on the sides of their thoraxes and two pairs of yellow wings on their backs.
Overview
In the console/PC version of Sonic Generations, Buzzers appear alongside Buzz Bombers in Green Hill Act 1. In gameplay, Buzzers fly around. When they spot the player, they will charge towards them and fire an energy blast. Also, a sound effect can be heard when they are about to shoot. Unlike Modern Buzzers, these Buzzers have more mobility, allowing them to change position for different firing angles.
In the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations, Buzzers appear in Green Hill Act 1, replacing Buzz Bombers in that Act.
Powers and abilities
Thanks to their wings, the Buzzers are capable of flight. They are also equipped with stingers that can fire a rail detonator blast, which appears as a concentrated orb of laser energy, at their target.
