Buzzer is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and cartoon series of the 1980s. He is affiliated with Cobra as one of the Dreadnoks and debuted in 1985.

His real name is Dick Blinken (Richard Blinken-Smythe). Buzzer was born in Cambridge, England.

Buzzer was once an extreme left-wing Cambridge sociology don who went to Australia to research biker gangs. His experiences there transformed him into the object of his research, as years of intellectual displeasure and extreme indignation at society's two-faced morality, instilled in him a desire to take society apart with a chainsaw. Buzzer is now a scavenger of the swamps, and can cut through steel, wrought iron, and nearly any metal with his diamond-tooth chainsaw.

Buzzer was first released as an action figure in 1985.

In the Marvel Comics G.I. Joe series, he first appeared in issue #25 with Ripper and Torch. Later, the Dreadnoks are sent as an advance team to McGuire Air Force Base, as Cobra Commander believed it was the location of G.I. Joe headquarters. Buzzer's carelessness causes an explosion, which provides enough of an alert to drive off the enemy. The Dreadnoks retreat so as to not get into trouble.

He appears in the third yearbook, as Serpentor tells the Dreadnoks a story of strategy from one of his previous lives.

Buzzer's appetite for destruction ends up spawning a multi-issue storyline. The trio of Dreadnoks steal Zartan's holographic bike and attack random cars on the road. One car holds a trio of G.I. Joe members, Rock'N'Roll, Grunt and Clutch; all three are on vacation. The attack leaves all the Joes injured. After a pause to attack another Air Force base, Buzzer ends up captured by Rock'N'Roll and taken into Joe custody.
