Very noice!
I don't think it's ever been verified, but when BW came out, the rumour was that Buzz Saw was meant to be Bumblebee, but Hasbro had lost the trademark and so couldn't use the name. The story also goes that K-9 was meant to be Hound and Lazorbeak was meant to be Laserbeak. It would be sweet if Hasbro could release a redeco of Buzz Saw called Bumblebee; either with the Bumblebee head as a Maximal upgrade of Bumblebee, or with the Waspinator head as an unrelated character with the same name (as frequently was the case in BW). Ditto a K-9 repaint as Hound... and if they ever repaint Kingdom Terrorsaur as Lazorbeak, might as well just call that toy "Laserbeak."
It's funny how out of all the Bumblebee toys we've ever gotten, none of them have ever transformed into any kind of vespid. Kinda... stings.
According to tfwiki, the Spanish name for Buzz Saw is Abejorro, which means "Bumblebee." If Hasbro doesn't want to name a BW TF Bumblebee (especially if it's an unrelated character), then perhaps they could call him "Dumbledore," which is the Old English word for "Bumblebee."
Yes, Albus Brian Percival Wulfric Dumbledore's name literally means "White burning piercing-valley rich-wolf bumblebee."
