Buzz/Legends

"Buckle your belts and check your cells, soldiers. We're going in."

- Buzz

"Buzz" was the nickname of a clone trooper during the Clone Wars. He served in the Second Battle of Geonosis under the command of Jedi General Luminara Unduli. He and Unduli later searched for the escaped Archduke Poggle the Lesser. Unduli contacted Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ki-Adi Mundi, but after Buzz moves the cover of a hole leading down to the Geonosian catacombs, Unduli and Buzz were attacked by zombie Geonosians. Buzz was later found dead by clone trooper Commander CC-2224.

Biography


Buzz was born on planet Kamino like all other Clone troopers. He was part of the 41st Elite Corps and was under command of General Unduli during the Second Battle of Geonosis. Buzz participated in the march on the Droid factory to lure the Droid forces from detecting padawans Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee infiltrating the factory. After the Republic passed a tower, Geonosian warriors boxed the army in and the new Super tanks began destroying their artillery. Buzz, the rest of the 41st Elite Corps, Torrent Company and the 212th Attack Battalion, began a retreat. Generals Skywalker and Luminara planted bombs underneath the bridge, destroying it and the Super tanks. The factory was then destroyed.

After the Droid factory was destroyed, General Unduli and Buzz tracked Poggle the Lesser on BARC speeder bikes. After discovering a munitions crate, the two of them traveled through a sandstorm to the Progate Temple. There Buzz found a cover leading to the underground catacombs. Both of them were attacked by Zombie Geonosians which resulted in the death of Buzz.

Personality and traits
After spending enough time with Luminara Unduli and Commander CC-1004, Buzz developed a sense of patience and loyalty to his commanding officer. He also had, like most beings in war, a sense of dry humor.

Equipment
Buzz, like all clones at that period, utilized Phase I clone trooper armor. His armor had green markings and on his helmet there were small tick marks indicating how many enemies he disabled. During the march on the Droid factory during the Second Battle of Geonosis, Buzz utilized a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon. After the Factory was destroyed, Buzz used a standard DC-15S blaster. Buzz also could use a Speeder bike to a useful degree.

Behind the scenes
In the Trivia & Details section of the Weapons Factory Episode Guide, Draa is mistakenly credited with Buzz's "Buckle your belts..." line. Like every clone, Buzz was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
