Buzzsaw Melee

I'm sure veterans of the Suggestion and Ideas forum have seen the idea for Buzzsaw Melee dozens of times. The whole idea is you attach spinning and very very sharp disks to your hands and then you chop up your targets with the speed and grace of claws, or maybe the whole set is slower if more powerful attacks like Battle Axe and Mace are used.

There have been a couple of characters in comics that used BM. The most popular is


I don't have any idea what powers a Buzzsaw Melee set would have, maybe it's just a real good Claws alternate animation idea. Either way I've done a couple mockups of what a Buzzsaw melee set could look like.



Scorpio is using his power over the air to manifest the Buzzsaws.



Mother Mayhem is using my idea of a buzzsaw melee tier 9. The buzzsaws get really big and then an animation like whirling hands plays.

I think that would be cool.

one wrong move and someone is loosing their own head.

its a nice idea, but theres other melee sets I would rather see first as more of a staple of the genre.

Upgrade to chainsaws please. With bonus damage vs. zombies (because we all know chainsaws are the best way to take out a zombie).

Originally, I intended to jranger this, but I really, really like those concept designs. I could see something like this, especially if it's throwable.

For some reason, it makes me want to yell out "Kienzan!"

I would love this as an alternate for claws (especially as you can, somehow, throw those too.) Imagining claws replaced with buzzsaws produces the most graphic pictures...

That's cool and all... but... Buzzsaw's spin with their teeth facing forward, not swept back.

These Buzzsaws are made with Liefield technology, so they don't have to worry about stuff like spinning backwards.

I'm going to 1/2 /Sign this and just suggest they make a slew of whirling blade weapons for Claws

As an alt form of Dual Blades or Claws this would really rock! I am visualizing some great animations with awesome audio. . .

Yeah, I can definitely see this as an alternative for Claws, come to think of it. Maybe then Focus and Shockwave would be less inexplicable. Besides, if the disks aren't too big, then they should fit the Claws animations quite comfortably. Yeah, I'm all for that.
