Buzz is one of Hacker's main henchmen (the other is Delete). He is short and round. He loves donuts, and really wants to run a donut shop. He is generally loyal to Hacker and usually does everything Hacker tells him to, despite the disrespect he receives.

Buzz lives in the Northern Frontier with the Hacker. His favorite color is blue-green, his favorite music is that of Wayne Newton, and his favorite movie is Home Alone (because of the bad guys).

Some of the comments and things that Buzz says and does hint that maybe he wants to take control some day, such as in "Double Trouble" when he and Delete become rich and he says "Maybe we don't need the boss anymore" and in "Raising the Bar" when Buzz realizes that Hacker has lost his memory and makes him his own henchman. One last example is in Blowin' In The Wind, Buzz begins to think that with the book, Secrets of the Hacker, he and Delete could rule Cyberspace themselves.

History

Buzz is a henchman with black boots. According to Buzz & Delete Save the Day, Buzz and Delete came from the cybersite Botopolis, led by a Delete-look-alike named Princess Deia. In Hacker's earlier days, he bought robotic parts from that cybersite and constructed Buzz and Delete from them. Based on the dialogue all three characters share, it can be assumed that they both have a good relationship with her.

Voice acting

For every episode through "EcoHaven Ooze", Buzz was voiced by Len Carlson. However, Carlson died of a heart attack on January 26, 2006, and Phil Williams took the role of Buzz. "EcoHaven Ooze" was dedicated to Carlson.

Skwakopedia entry (Cyberchase: The Quest)

One of Hacker's henchman. He's a short, round robot. Big on scheming, short on brains. Best friend to Delete. Loves donuts.

"Who's Who Document"

Buzz works for Hacker because it’s his job. He does enjoy his work– cheating and scheming are two of Buzz’s favorite activities. He’s a crusty, cranky robot with a soft spot for donuts; he never met one he didn’t like. But Buzz is not really very good at his job. Unless Hacker tells him exactly what to do, things are likely to go very wrong. Buzz would hate to admit it, but work would be a lot less fun if his pal Delete – a.k..a. “Dee-Dee” – wasn’t around.

"CyberSquad" bio (2012)

Buzz, a bumbling “bot,” is too afraid of Hacker to go against him. He says “yes, Boss,” then gives his pal Delete the job, but they almost always mess things up. Buzz loves donuts and calls his pal "Dee Dee." Signature line: “Uh oh, the boss isn’t going to like this.”
