The Buzz was first introduced as the Fleye on 11 January 2000 as the result of a Christmas Pet Competition. The Fleye was an eyeball with wings, feet, and antennae, and can still be seen in an old [[Caption Competition]] and the original icon for the [[ability]] ''Flight''.

The Fleye only lasted six months - it was replaced on 24 July that year with the first Buzz design, which was much more insectoid although ironically lost the antennae.
